I once went for a deadlift PR and misloaded the bar by a full 20kg and still made the lift as I expected to be moving up only by 2.5kg not 22.5kg, there’s definitely a psychological element to it.

I once tricked my brain into letting me succeed on a 1 rep max deadlift by exchanging the third large plate with two smaller ones (on both sides of course ^^) that added up to the same weight. Because I had noticed that three big plates looked more intimidating to me and made me doubt if I could lift it, which made me fail.

Ayee, was surprised and expecting that at the same time. Because i thought that people might have a feeling for how specific weights might feel, but maybe that is only valid for low weights and if you are in very high weights (like that 400 lbs + deadlift) how you feel on that day could result in a big range of possible weight.

@kevinbae2388

It is a lot of weight, but don't worry - it's a powerlifting phenomenon called thoractic rounding. It's the rounding of your upper back rather than your lumbar, so your back can handle heavier loads without causing too much strain. It's better than keeping a straight back.

@samtheman7366

2 ай бұрын

Thoractic mid to upper back rounding is a thing. But that was definitely lower back rounding there. Granted that even little rounding on the lower end can be beneficial on rare max deadlift occasions, but you must control and recognise the limits there. That 205 was definitely scared cat rounding and just pulling with everything you got. That will do harm and on the long run cause severe issues. Romanian deadlifts are one of the best full body excercises out there, but the technique is hard to master and you definitely should recognise your limits and leave the ego out of the door. @@kevinbae2388

Thats so nice 💝

I feel like I’d be a little stronger blindfolded, because without I tend to get in my head abit and think “oh that’s too risky I shouldn’t go higher” But also I workout alone at home so I don’t have a spotter, knowing I have a spotter there (along with not knowing the exact weight) is definitely going to push me.

Will would’ve loved graduate school and the IRB process. This could be a really great case study, especially if it was double-blinded and the contestants were in different rooms or went one-by one.

Not being scared of weight is what gave me a scar on my face If it's with a spotter or safeties, my sense of self preservation is gone

In junior high I had plateaued at the same exact bench press for months. We were maxing out, my coach told me to close my eyes and take a deep breath, and he told the guys to add a 2.5 to each side and then told me to open my eyes and lift. After lifting I saw they added a 10 to each side and it was easy. I continued to have gains after that

This is so hype!!!

Emotional state greatly effects strength. The easiest one that gives most people strength is to get angry. You get angry at the weight, and decide you'll do what it takes to move that POS, it'll usually move. But if you have structural limitations, as in pain, don't push past it. Fix that ish, and then get mad at a quarter of a ton. The 3rd guys posture was terrible for the deadlift, his shoulders were rounded over before he put any load on them. You want to keep your shoulders flat like you're standing if you can, to protect your rotator cuffs and upper back.

I think heavier for the girl, the same for the shorter gent, lighter for the taller gent. I don't think she's usually really going as hardcore with heavy lifts, so a heavier weight (even a PR) can still be very easily lifted (those deadlifts looked like a light warmup), except for bench where a small increase in weight is a lot for someone who isn't lifting a tonne of weight overall. I think the taller gent was in his head, and struggling with other things, and then on the deadlifts in particular it was very easy. Oh they guessed what I'm guessing lol. Yay, everyone is right! Could fill the ends of an olympic barbell with cement... Then the lighter person gets a fake weight added to the mix. Certainly a lot of variables here, but ultimately they were all correct with their guesses either way so whatever.

great bunch of people. The opera one was unexpected. Great vid!

This is how a physical therapist tore a ligament in my shoulder, by not telling me he was giving me 10 lbs more than I was able to lift

If you do something similar again, I definitely think that a better way to hide the weight would be using some kind of board to block the line of sight from the rack, like a larger round piece of wood that can be slid over the same place where the weights are, rather than the glasses. I'm pretty sure people could see the weight during the deadlift and bench. Really cool concept though and a great video! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Nobody is doing it like Will. Who else is doing content like this?! Good stuff!

Personally, I find when I don’t think I’m gonna have a good workout (if I’m tired or not feeling it) then I end up having a great session and vice-versa.

love the idea

I have been a personal trainer now for over 7 years, I've done a similar experiment with probably 60 different people. Never to this much production but constantly adding weight to the bar without my clients knowledge because they always psych themselves out. In my experience, women vastly underestimate what they are capable of. Whereas men are either spot on or overestimate their abilities. The older than man the more accurate they seem to be, where the young men overestimate more. But women almost always underestimated themselves. Once I had a girl hit a 20lb 1rm on deadlift because she didn't know how much weight was on the bar. There were outliers for sure in every category but in general this is what I found to be true. At the end of the day every person is different. I'd love for you to do this video again but with more people and personality types.

There are humans that step over their limits and dont express that much and other people that are far away from their limits and already screaming etc (just look at the expression of pain in for example Art sports like dancing.

Super interesting. If you can redo this test in a way that the weights aren't labelled or covered somehow but without the glasses and blindfolds it might show more difference. Peripheral vision and it's impact on balance and stability has a massive influence on strength.

I'm really glad you did this. I have been saying this for a long time. It would be awesome to see people lift random objects without knowing the weight.
