0_o I completely agree that's why I said:but Occam's razor doesn't mean the simplest explanation is always correct.
Might not be correct, but definitely most likely.
Not sure why you assumed it hasn't happened to me. Happens all the time. It's certainly not specific to KBs. As an example, once, I shifted my gaze upwards in Pullups and suddenly added 10 lbs to my weighted max. I remember being so perplexed, mindblown and excited. Told all of my friends to try it, but somehow they weren't getting such a great result.That you apparently haven't doesn't mean it doesn't work for most people.
After some thought, I understand that maybe there is some sneaky neurological reflex that I made use of. What is more likely, however, is that the psychological approach of going to a Pull-up with a "new trick" is exactly what suddenly helped so much.
This is all well explained in Psych by Dr. Judd, from this very website. I assume you've read it Steve so you know I'm not just making this stuff up. Power of belief is not only real, but it occurs so often it must always be accounted for. That's all
