I dont really yell out my count, but I breath really hard while "muttering" the step number to myself. I use it more as a method of relaxing, because it keeps me exhaling and not letting me get tense on the runway. Werd.

If you are having runway/plant problems you have to change something, or you'll keep getting the same results.
