Weight training magazines back in the day used to cover Olympic lifting and not bodybuilding. When the magazines had plenty of photos of top flight lifters tossing huge poundages overhead, they automatically sent readers an important message: that a trained athlete can put 300 to 400 pounds over his head. When you grow up seeing photo after photo of men lifting 300 to 400 pounds overhead, you tend to think you can add more to your 300 pound squat or your 350 pound deadlift. You raise your mental limits. When you view 300 as a weight that some men can press, it makes you think you surely can bench press the same poundage.
