When squats are feeling heavy i'll sometimes load up the bar with more weight than I plan on squatting and just stand with it for about 10 seconds, then take the weight back down to my workset. In an attempt to trick my body into thinking it is lighter than it is.
been to a lot of powerlift meets, trained with some very good guys, and never seen anyone do what Iron is suggesting....

heavy walk outs are standard practise, as are heavy quarter squats, there a good way to get used to as heavier weights and to mentally make you strong
