LIfe Lesson:

 I used to lift weights and work out at a gym with a small group of men who were serious about weight lifting. Not for bulking up but weight lifting for. One was a fierier, two  professional football players, another owner of a store, and one a minister. We worked out on a regular basis and I found out it was best to have a spotter on the bench when I was moving up in the weights. 

I was pushing my limit one time when I needed some help. My mind told me I couldn't lift that much weight and I got stuck part way up but not enough to get the bar into the rack. One of the guys came over to help me put the bar and the weights into the rack. He stood at my head and put his hands under the bar and from where I lay it looked like he was helping me lift the bar and weights into the rack. 

When the bar was safely into the rack he told me he had not lifted the weight at all just put his hands under to where it looked to me like he was helping lift. It is called a "sticking point" and I actually did the lifting even though my brain told me I couldn't do it. It goes to show just how our brains can limit us but be tricked at the same time. Sometimes we just need to push through what we think we can't do and not be limited.
