I once went for a deadlift PR and misloaded the bar by a full 20kg and still made the lift as I expected to be moving up only by 2.5kg not 22.5kg, there’s definitely a psychological element to it.
Holy shat that is lowkey hilarious
I once tricked my brain into letting me succeed on a 1 rep max deadlift by exchanging the third large plate with two smaller ones (on both sides of course ^^) that added up to the same weight. Because I had noticed that three big plates looked more intimidating to me and made me doubt if I could lift it, which made me fail.
Deadlift is the only lift i trust myself to do this on
I had an old gym buddy who would slip the weight up on machines, smith machine, leg press etc when you weren’t looking. And I would always hit my expected reps but at higher a weight.
I went for a deadlift PR of 250 when I was new to lifting, after my buddy says, nice PR, but did you mean to load 275? Total mind crunch.
So everyone got it right, but at least we got that sick opera flex at 2:10
💯
Spoilers! Oh well, what I am doing in comments
Ayee, was surprised and expecting that at the same time. Because i thought that people might have a feeling for how specific weights might feel, but maybe that is only valid for low weights and if you are in very high weights (like that 400 lbs + deadlift) how you feel on that day could result in a big range of possible weight.
That was horrible
My mom is an Opera singer, loved that!
You shouldve done it where you mixed up who was heavier/lighter each exercise
Not much data anyway. Mixing it for each lift, maybe you couldn't reach ANY conclusion at all.
If they did that with, say, 25 to 50 lifters, then that would be an interesting experiment (re reaching a perhaps statistically significant conclusion).
Would be an interesting follow up experiment. He already established that they can sense if weight was what they expected it to be @@rogergeyer9851
I think it would be better if you used plates that were calibrated higher rather than blind folding them and introducing a second variable.
It’s just sunglasses with something on the edge so they can’t see the plates
@@lilleroybeats3870 Not being able to go through your whole routine can alter the results. Even just being able to see the plates matters
I guess they needed a fake reason for the video...
@@MuttonChops24 well also maybe a safety hazard but if they do believe they can hit the weight that they never did maybe it can help a bit but it can go either way
@@MuttonChops24just have Americans lift with metric plates, we’d have no idea how much was on the bar, lol.
Balance is such a huge factor😭‼️
Like sumo deadlifting? haha
thats why im def not doing this blindfolded. safety hazard
they could still see in front/below/up. I doubt not having peripheral vision matters a lot with balance
@@naantjez Yeh usually you balance by the marks on the bar as you know from them so you don't need to see the sides for balance long as know the centre.
If they were blindfolded yes, but "blinders" won't make a difference to balance ,as long as you can see in your field of vision you'll be fine, periferal isn't for balance
Respectfully, I'm pretty sure an opera singer/lifter is the perfect woman
I'm the greatest
hard agree
i had to spam double tap when she started singing ngl
My friend is a concert pianist/Power lifter. And i tell her the same ALL the time
real
Austin's hands were so off center for the bench, he stood no chance even with the lower weight. That's the biggest issue with lifting blind
Yes, I noticed the hands as well.
But they weren’t blind, they just didn’t have peripheral view.
@@valeaves Yeah, you don't need to look at both sides to be in the center of the bar. You should know where the center is just by looking at the bar/notching and adjust accordingly.
7:31 I can't🤣🤣🤣 the image, animation AND music 10/10 edit
what was the point of it LOL it jumpscared me
The guy is called noël like the girl noëlle@@FMJ1400
That was so funny!
It was Daddy Noel @@FMJ1400
@@FMJ1400Editor of the video here, he said “let’s go get Noelle” so I showed the most intimidating picture of beloved and famous bodybuilder, Noel Dyzel 😂
It depends on my mental state that day. I noticed that any time I do better than I expect, it’s because I’m happy and thinking positively about myself. If I am down and having bad thoughts about myself I fail and it just spirals lol. Mental health is physical health vice versa
I am the exact opposite. My best reps were when I had so much anger in me and wanted to hurt someone
@@texasranger7687 angry isn't feeling down or having bad thoughts about yourself. Anger (if channeled correctly at the gym) is actually a huge motivator
Bro I always seem to hit new PRs when I'm the most shitty/tired feeling or unprepared, and go in thinking today I'm just gonna take it easy and feeling down about my bad habits... and then I start lifting and... huh, this feels lighter today let's send it lmao
@@TomoHawKzZ haha it’s interesting how psychology plays into the lifts, and differently for everyone!
@texasranger7687 not anger dude. Disappointment, disgust in yourself, depression. Those are not the same as anger. No one does better than usual ehen depressed, coz that defeats the whole point of depression
Do we get an update on the 60 day stranger transformation ❤
it's been 46 days since he put the video up...should be another couple wks or so
what about the knees over toes @@STEVEN_GUILBEAULT_BUFFOON
if i squatted like noelle did my back would snap in half
long femur, same for me but I'm trying to work on my ankle mobility
to go deeper and touch more quadriceps, rly hard the back squat for long femur:(
she kinda has to with those mile long femurs. I have the same issue and actually I have developed back issues.
It's completely fine.
Would be beneficial for her to squat in heeled shoes or on plates to elevate the heel. Also cursed with long ass femurs.
Actually insanely impressive
The Noel jump scare at 7:35 got me 😂😂
I’m glad to hear it 😂 Sincerely, Editor
Fr😂
Props to all three of the athletes. They were open-minded, friendly and supportive of one another, and just all around fun to cheer for!
Awesome work again!
7:34 was the most hilarious jump scare i've ever experienced
My spine started hurting watching the 2 guys deadlift, holy cow
It is a lot of weight, but don't worry - it's a powerlifting phenomenon called thoractic rounding. It's the rounding of your upper back rather than your lumbar, so your back can handle heavier loads without causing too much strain. It's better than keeping a straight back.
Thoractic mid to upper back rounding is a thing. But that was definitely lower back rounding there. Granted that even little rounding on the lower end can be beneficial on rare max deadlift occasions, but you must control and recognise the limits there. That 205 was definitely scared cat rounding and just pulling with everything you got. That will do harm and on the long run cause severe issues. Romanian deadlifts are one of the best full body excercises out there, but the technique is hard to master and you definitely should recognise your limits and leave the ego out of the door. @@kevinbae2388
Better work on that glassback
There’s nothing wrong with their deadlift
thoracic rounding is ok tbh
I have absolutely loved the content and going through the backlog as a new subscriber. I think the mixture of fitness, nutrition, and wackiness is the perfect entertaining blend to keep viewers hooked. Cannot wait to see what you do next!
Will is one of the best fitness influencer out there. Keep it up🫡
*whispers* this is like psychologically violating them... but I love it
💀
Great concept. Can’t wait to see how you develop it over time. Hope a series of this comes!!
I'm new to weight lifting and fitness in general. I'm about a year in and I still doubt what I can accomplish. My coach (who I've been with the entire time) now loads my bar for PRs because I get into my head so badly. I've been able to lift weight that still feels unimaginable! It's literally all in your head and being confident in the lift!
The quality of these videos is something else. Its amazing 🔥 I accidentally went up in leg press because my math didnt work properly 💀
That opera Note Hold was AMAZING!!! Crazy skills!
It's kinda hard to keep yourfelf balanced.
Bth man I wanna say a huge thank you for motivationg me to get into fitness, I've never felt myself so good like after a good workout, now I'm even trying to film my home workouts to help more people who doesn't have access to gym! Hope to become a fitness influencer too one day
more videos like these would be awesome. it makes a big difference seeing multiple people at different stages or places testing things out
I feel like I’d be a little stronger blindfolded, because without I tend to get in my head abit and think “oh that’s too risky I shouldn’t go higher”
But also I workout alone at home so I don’t have a spotter, knowing I have a spotter there (along with not knowing the exact weight) is definitely going to push me.
If I'm ever feeling like a lazy piece of shit, I always motivate myself by not allowing myself to watch one of Will's videos without working out first. He has really been a huge influence on my fitness journey! :)
Thats so nice 💝
Not being scared of weight is what gave me a scar on my face
If it's with a spotter or safeties, my sense of self preservation is gone
To make it easier next time, instead of putting sunglasses on, just put trash bags over the plates.
They were told it is about focus, trash bags wouldn't achieve that.
@@nesciusplaygroundyeah. I think not concealing the identity of the test would’ve made them perform better. They all seem to be nervous for the blindfold and focus part
Will would’ve loved graduate school and the IRB process. This could be a really great case study, especially if it was double-blinded and the contestants were in different rooms or went one-by one.
Keep up the great work will. Love the content.
Lateral raises while blindfolded would be crazy
Why?
No one cares about lateral raise pr tho lol
Always a great day when Will Tennyson uploads.👌
In junior high I had plateaued at the same exact bench press for months. We were maxing out, my coach told me to close my eyes and take a deep breath, and he told the guys to add a 2.5 to each side and then told me to open my eyes and lift. After lifting I saw they added a 10 to each side and it was easy. I continued to have gains after that
Played in a rock band with Noelle back in highschool, can confirm she rocks! Glad you're still killin it Noelle!
Hishams squat form is on point, really impressive, great bar path and depth
even when she was blind she still hit that handshake
Noel popping out of nowhere 7:31 really had me cracking 😂
I really like these types of videos from Will
This is a great episode. Love this concept Will!!🎉
Will is now also a scientist , is there anything this man can’t do ???
Yes, create a better experiment. He’s definitely not a scientist, not yet.
swim hahaha
This is so hype!!!
Love the support between the three. Good gym culture there.
Mind over Matter! Exactly. Believe, have faith🙏, and don't give up and we can accomplish our goals.💪
I was waiting for you to Drop a video man I know it's going to be 🔥
I love when Will enters the room everyone runs away like he's captured them.
Dude Will put out so much unique creative and original video concepts man. GOAT!
Nobody is doing it like Will. Who else is doing content like this?! Good stuff!
i thought you wouldve mixed up who was lifting heavier or lighter for each lift. would give more data
I think heavier for the girl, the same for the shorter gent, lighter for the taller gent.
I don't think she's usually really going as hardcore with heavy lifts, so a heavier weight (even a PR) can still be very easily lifted (those deadlifts looked like a light warmup), except for bench where a small increase in weight is a lot for someone who isn't lifting a tonne of weight overall. I think the taller gent was in his head, and struggling with other things, and then on the deadlifts in particular it was very easy.
Oh they guessed what I'm guessing lol.
Yay, everyone is right!
Could fill the ends of an olympic barbell with cement...
Then the lighter person gets a fake weight added to the mix.
Certainly a lot of variables here, but ultimately they were all correct with their guesses either way so whatever.
Your videos are so entertaining I swear
Nice concept scientist Will!
Emotional state greatly effects strength. The easiest one that gives most people strength is to get angry. You get angry at the weight, and decide you'll do what it takes to move that POS, it'll usually move. But if you have structural limitations, as in pain, don't push past it. Fix that ish, and then get mad at a quarter of a ton.
The 3rd guys posture was terrible for the deadlift, his shoulders were rounded over before he put any load on them. You want to keep your shoulders flat like you're standing if you can, to protect your rotator cuffs and upper back.
11:23 the famous turkey handclap, where the fist meets the flat hand..
😬 love your content as always
Catchball!
We like your creativity Will, you are a creative person
That deadlift form had my back screaming
this is sooo creative & fun. huge props for always raising the bar Sir Tennyson!
it does look pretty fun; exercise science as a whole field dives into these kinds of experiments
Noelle’s goodmorning squat hybrid scared me that has to be harder than if she kept her back up
She has very long femurs, makes it really difficult (or impossible) to maintain an upright position.
I was noticing the same thing but I was going over in my head how she could fix it...I'm now realizing I have some of the same issue and its probably why squat is my worst lift.
It doesn't work like that, you can't just keep your back up if you have long femurs, short shinebone and also the length of your torso makes a big difference. But squat shoes would maybe benefit her
If she squatted upright, she would fall backwards. When your legs are long, you have to squat like that to keep the bar over your foot. If she rounded her back or her hips came up first, that would be more concerning
Awesome video concept. Loved that
Great video! I've watched a ton of yours. This one has me subbing.
Its a Mindset -Dr Rick de la Stick
Very fun video, would love to see more, either same format with other people or even the same, or something similar
Bro comes with the sickes content, didnt watch it yet but know its fire already
Wow! Your videos are getting so high quality Will!
Bro just uploaded🧍♂️
im sayin@@Lownerzzz
@@LownerzzzYeah, I know, but as soon as you see the animation and intro, you know it’s gonna be a banger. His videos now are higher quality than four years ago. His humour is gold too
Getting? When will they be high quality?
@@Disneymagic24What I mean by that is that the quality of his videos is always getting better, although they’ve been high quality for a long time. No matter how good someone gets , they can always get better.
Good job Noelle! If you don’t have a coach already working on your form, consider chatting with someone. Looks like you’re lifting a lot with your back on those squats and if you can lift more with your legs I think you’ll keep getting PRs for awhile. You def have a lot more potential with the squat! Nice work.
Her form isn’t as bad as you think
@@jmagicd9831 I didn’t say it was.
I'm really glad you did this. I have been saying this for a long time. It would be awesome to see people lift random objects without knowing the weight.
good series we need more
That Noel edit at 7:33 made me feel things I haven't felt since my dad left to buy milk
Hisham definitely had the best form on his squat
Definitely on Squat I would be stronger, I always psych myself out on squat
All their forms sucked.
u make everyone so strong❤️
love the idea
I really love your videos!! Definitely my favorite fitness influencer!! Keep it up brother!!!
Why was Will so touchy with Shawn😭
super interesting loved this
It would be impractical just for this video but custom made barbells with the weight difference built-in would be perfect for an experiment. Or maybe an opaque 3D printed cylinder to cover the plates. No need for blindfold/glasses. Love that line at the end - "What you give power to, has power over you." Great video!
Interesting concept.
banger video idea
I really enjoyed this type of video.
Good job to all involved
This is actually a great thought experiment.
Personally, I find when I don’t think I’m gonna have a good workout (if I’m tired or not feeling it) then I end up having a great session and vice-versa.
If you do something similar again, I definitely think that a better way to hide the weight would be using some kind of board to block the line of sight from the rack, like a larger round piece of wood that can be slid over the same place where the weights are, rather than the glasses. I'm pretty sure people could see the weight during the deadlift and bench.
Really cool concept though and a great video! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
This actually a dope experiment
Hisham looks like such a kind dude
That Noel bit was awesome 😂
Glad you liked it lol (Editor)
This is how a physical therapist tore a ligament in my shoulder, by not telling me he was giving me 10 lbs more than I was able to lift
A really interesting episode Will, thank you.
Yk it’s a good day when papa will uploads
Confirms what I already knew: women are stronger than they think/are told they are.
Woman do sell themselves short all the time. While man oversell theirs reason why man have more deaths in the bench press
No they generally don't train as hard test creates more drive I rarely ever see women go anywhere close to failure in the gym .
Actually there is a big psychological study, that proofs that women perform worse when you tell them there are not as good as men in a topic :) So in my opinion its so stupid that in sport we focus so much about the fact, that men are stronger and faster in average. Women can achive a lot and be pretty good. You also would never tell somebody „yeah have fun running, but you will never be as good as a profi athlet“ when they start a sport. I think we should stop that and focus on what we can do 👍
Bro, you have a one sample statistic with 3 tests, 1 failed and 2 succeeded with something like 4% increase over the perceived PR. And she felt it was heavier.
@@williambrinkmeier1772 Maybe we should not take our own observations as facts. First of all if it was true maybe the part that women get told they a weak influence the training intensity from women a lot. Second of all you only see a small part of women training. And also how close they go to failure is just an guess you take. There are humans that step over their limits and dont express that much and other people that are far away from their limits and already screaming etc (just look at the expression of pain in for example Art sports like dancing. A lot of times the when the dancers fall pretty hard and even breaking their leg etc they just stand up and continue. But i football for example they cry very early) so actually its hard to see from the outside if someone is really going to their limits
2:10 what an outstanding voice, just beautiful
i think bench is the most mentally challenging because you cant see the thing that could literally fall on your face
Cool video concept, enjoyed it.
are they going in ice cold and trying their max???
Did you watch the video? For example 10:00-11:00
Noel did the whole thing beltless like okkk I see you
🔥
I remember when I had a work out partner he would throw extra weights on the bar when I wasn’t looking and I legit pushed weight I thought I could push.
this video is genius… an experiment that was so well thought out
bro, when people on your videos say lbs - can you put an on screen KG equivalent, I'm forever googling lbs kgs when I'm watching your stuff.
Are we gonna talk about how good the 3rd guys squat form was?
"What you give power to has power over you, if you allow it" Very well said
them letting each other know how it went for them might of affected the results
Awesome video as always !! Noel diesel popping up killed 😂
