I command you to grow.... Do you believe it?

I think mind muscle connection is something different though.

I agree with this. It's not using your mind to make your muscles grow. It's concentrating on the targeted muscle and using that instead of worrying about just getting the weight up using all available muscles.
 
When training hard, your mind will always fail before your muscles do. If you can condition your mind to allow yourself to lift more and train harder, did you grow because of your muscles or because of your mind?
Nah man you got it backwards. A strong mind beats anything hands down. Your mind sure as hell shouldnt be failing before your muscles.

Let's consider this, do you do a lift, let's say a deadlift for example, like your lifting a car off of your trapped son?

Do you do bicep curls and squeeze reps out the same as if someone is holding a gun to your wife's head?

Probably not. Although I realize I'm being extreme here.

Many times I lift to true failure. But many times I could have pushed just a little further... I've tried to train my mind to push myself further.

Yes sir, that's exactly what I'm referring to. Harnessing that mental ability to move a barbell. Train your mind as much as you train your muscles and it may just happen. Poundstone is a huge believer in this type of training. Pain tolerance type training.
 
I honestly think were ALL thousand pound deadlifters. Maybe not our bodies but our mind could do it. Its just how far can you dig down and find it

Ill use a good example. Who has ever came with no physical interaction whatsoever? Commonly referred to as wet dreams. Dead asleep, REM mode. The mind is going thru all the motions of sex and actually orgasm with no physical stimulation.

Hasn't happened in a long time but hated when I had an accidental discharge in the middle of the night lol.
 
I would recommend the movie Hacksaw Ridge. A true story about a man named Desmond Doss. Medal of Honor winner. If anyone has any doubts about how truly powerful the mind is. THATS IT.
Its unbelievable what he did
 
Excellent flick. Crazy af he never carried a weapon.
When all the infantry ran for their lives he ran BACK in. He was the coward...remember? Saved 70 some men over 2 or 3 days. Never carried a weapon. Being shelled, shot at. Lowered those men till his hands bled.
Said " God, just one more...just one more"

Not to mention he spared and helped that JAP fuck in the tunnel. Way better man than me. I wouldn't let him have the way of bushido as he wouldn't have lasted that long.
 
If he slowed his reps down and didn't use the preacher bench as nothing more than a pivot tool he could scream at his arms all he wanted to....he would still hit failure when he hit failure
