I always laughed at people who thought lifting had any sort of mental or spiritual involved, i believed it was purely physical. Well now i've changed and know better, that fire inside did more to my lifts than muscles could do...

What does a man with a 220kg DL look like?
Motivation is a training variable m8
If you're not focused, then obviously you're not gonna lift as heavy as you could
ever heard of programming and periodization
doing the same intesity and volume is a very inefficent way of trying to progress

>i believed it was purely physical
Probably why you were shit for so long

Same here, but the magic number was 200kg.
The more I tried, the more I failed, to the point where 200kg would not even leave the ground, while 195 for a double was effortless.
Got pissed off at a shitty bench session, slammed two 50kg plates on a barbell, went with a 120kg triple, 160kg double and a 200kg single to let off steam and actually notices the 200kg PR at the top, while holding it for static grip strength.
After that 205 was an every day max.
(until I twisted my ankle, lost all leg gains and Can barely deadlift 180kg now. Can't even squat 180kg to depth because left ankle lost all mobility I had).

This. Pick up a book on psychology 101 or something. Your brain literally controls your body.
Sounds retardedly simple now, doesn't it?
