@@MarkBellsPowerProject I wonder what the correct answer would be for grinding out reps overhead , or maybe? floor press ? ...where u can cheat a lil , and complete the lift by grinding it out ? ... instead of failing ? ....it's seems to be a catch 22 , ...cause he talked about form being so important , but not failing in order to get stronger is as well I new this as well , well actually I'm just now learned about how not failing all the time helps unfortunately ...., anyways I wonder ? what would be priority in that situation ....? For me , like most , I will cheat a lil , so I can complete the lift on my last rep, if? the previous ones were good 👍. I realize cheating a lil can be good for bodybuilding single joint excersises , but I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about the multi joint lifts; ofcourse it probably wouldn't be good for anything lower body obviously , but pressing ............? 🤔.

To better understand this topic, particularly his comment about trying to make his arm wrestling competitor break his neural drive by smiling, you MUST read the 1998 essay by Doug McGuff, MD, called, "Stoicism in Training" .

Concerning the strongman example. It's obvious that when strength is exhausted the form breaks down and the weight would skew to the stronger side.

Did anyone notice how Mr. "Lift through it" (Blue T shirt) actually raises his chin and eyes and thinks of his "Dark place" when Stuart McGill mentions the importance of a "Dark Place" for world champion lifters. That was his "Aha!!!!" moment....mine too... What about the others? My question is whether we should also train with unequal weights on the bar to "Catch" the bar and get it back on track in case we get unstable.......Say starting with 45lbs on one side and a 45lb +10lb on one side in order to train for the instability.....do 2 "instability training sets" with the greater weight first on the left side and then the right side on the next set.....doing 2 sets per weight jump. After all, we are creating "CONTROLLED trouble" ( which is known as Eustress and is different from distress which is OUT OF CONTROL TROUBLE INFLICTED BY EXTERNAL FORCES) for the muscle and mind during our training".....so that our mind and muscle adapts to that training PROVIDED we rest and recover. I have one request to make. You made fun of the movie, Commando, Rocky etc. "Log carrying scene, training scene etc etc". These movies and those two dudes pretty much siglehandedly promoted weight training all over the world. Whatever it was, those are the movie that started it. Thats the reason you have an audience. It will be nice if you can give them their due due respect. Of course, Mark Bell has done a lot to make powerlifting look more friendly by giving us an "Insider" look. Kudos to the great Mark Bell too. My humble gyan. Any feedback either for or against and everything in between the two extremes is most welcome. Plz DO feel free to contradict me.Stay happy everyone. God Bless. Insha Allah. Joy Ma Durga....Durgotinashini. Joy Ma Kali. Joy Baba Taraknath. Om Namah Shivay.

Yeah of course they don’t, the pros that train to a level of volume where they wind up puking and being unable to walk for days due to intense doms, drenched in sweat and training until failure, all whilst on an insane calorie deficit. All those OG bodybuilders who literally tear pecs, biceps, quads and hammies from training too hard, they have nooooo idea. How about not being an elitist fuckwit for a minute, respect all athletes not just the ones you follow.
