A weight you won't touch?

Re: A weight you won't touch?

I never touch 85's LOL. guns is right it is all a mind game when you think you can only go up another 2.5 or 5 lbs. Since I'm a chick that is the mind game, I saw one of the *****en 24 yr. old killer girls with 25's on the bench. I wanted to be her but realized I'm her mother's age.

i wont touch a 130 for nothing. just me and all the weights have to face the same direction and the colors are the same.

he is a funny thing that i have noticed about myself and countless other lifters. i call them the killers. the 2 and a half pound plates. so you got a guy that can deadlift or squat 495 or say 595. you go ahead and through the 2 and a halves on there and they wont move it one time, ie....... the killers

probably just a creature of habit type of thing 6p6. Something you really never even thought about till now. So now you need to pick up those 85'ers

That's weird lol ! But I've never , that I can think of , had that happen to me !!!
I like to try all the weights to test them out , well the ones I can handle !!!
Only dumbells I haven't really touched since I've been back are the 110 lbers .
Tomorrow's chest day so I'll power those things up and crush'em !!!

I was thinking today during my workout how much I rarely ever touch an 85lb dumbbell. I've been training for well over 20 years and I don't believe I've done much dusting of those at all. It got me thinking why? No matter what the exercise if I'm on a set in that range I will either grab the 80lb or 90lb.

So do any of you have the same sort of thing you've notice after years of training? I really can't explain why at all!
