Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230 530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq	Do you think if someone could somehow lie to you and make you believe you are only lifting 95% of your max, but in reality you're lifting your PB+5kg, you'd easily smash it ?

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	Tried this once, pretty sure the guy almost ripped a pec trying to get the bench up. So no I wouldn't do that again, as I felt like a bit of a prick after. Though he did get a PR.

a PB is a PB ! Member 539, 1086 posts	I sometimes try and convince myself that the weight is lighter than it is. Does work sometimes.

Cheers mate, yeah, all lifts are easier if I dont know what they are A few of my PBs have been done just getting someone to load the bar with something and me lifting it then finding out what it was. It often feels 20-30kg lighter than if i know what it was
