Warm up correctly. Light aerobic, dynamics movements, then specific movements.
Stretch your antagonist muscles statically. This means the traps and rhomboids for the bench, and the hip flexors for squat.
Keep a positive mind set.
Good luck.

Agreed. Also work your antagonists to maintain balance - pull for every push, preferable in the same plane of motion.

Standing Press / Pullup
Barbell Row / Bench Press
Curl / Tricep exercise
etc.
