How much can your mind lift??

A lot of it is mind, especially powerlifting. Having strength to back it up helps too. Putting myself in the right frame of mind is important when I am training with heavy weights. Most powerlifters that I have come in contact with are fairly intelligent focused individuals, unfortunately I cannot say the same for many bodybuilders.--Craig Titus for example--dumbass immoral loser.
 
True, a lot of it is in the mind. Getting yourself mentally ready for a heavy lift is essential.

But I can't imagine actually lifting weight with more mind strength than physical strength.

There's a lot of people that can manipulate and move objects with their minds, like Chris Angel, I would love to have powers like that.

uhhhhmmmmmmm...... chris angel is a magician. =0l
 
I've gotta agree that you need to mentally have your mind into a lift. I can bomb out big time on a one rm, then psyche myself up and hit the same weight easy for a double.

I would like to see this guy's numbers though. They say 400lb deadlift. Even in the 165s that isn't even close to a record.
 
i think mindset is important, but i also think the music you are listening to plays a part in your ability to lift also. i could not lift with some pussy ass music playing, it just wouldn't work.

Yeah, but I've seen on his show how he picks up stuff with his mind. He did it with a frizbee and other objects.

True, this is why I use my inner ear and my mind plays me some Jason Becker before big lifts. The gym music is terrible.

I can't explain. But I'm just so passionate about music that I can hear music in my head and I forget about whats playing, know what I meen? This really helps me get pysched up for my lifts. I just put on Perpetual Burn in my head and I can lift anything. :O
 
kidding right?

Ah, are you serious? Or trying to be funny? He's a magician, he does tricks he can't move anything with his mind. Magic isn't real!!!!
Plus you here music in your head Hmm? As long as it's not voices I guess it's ok.
 
prolly the creepiest he did was separating the woman in half and the half running around the field. clearly, i know it's fake but the scene was creepy enough...fucking cris fucking angels...

I remember one of his episodes he picked up a frizbee with putting his hand a foot or two above it, and it just flung up. Didn't look like a magic trick, lookd like he picked it up with his mind. He also did it a few other times, but I haven't seen his show lately

Same. Every week I seem to be struggling my ass off on the warmups and end up lifting 5-10lbs more than the last week. Wierd
 
I guess you guys didn't see the episode where in the end there was a little segment in which he picked up a frizbee with his mind.

Maybe it was an illusion and there was a string, but it didn't look like it. He just walked up randomly and was like 'guys check this out'
