heighted sense of arousal to be lifting in front of people. Your CNS re-acts to the environment and you perform on a higher level.

oh i c what your saying. Yeah im the kinda person that when i lift bymyself forsome reason i dont preform aswell as when im surrounded by my peers. That goes for any sport though, i preform better when others are watching, u bring it to the next level cuz u dont want to look like a chump.

I always seem to do better alone. Obviously it's an individual thing though, and I'm not really sure if I have enough experience around others to say this with certainty. I'd definitely agree with P-Funk though - lifting around others can easily put you at a higher energy/performance level.

I agree 100x with if ur surrounded by people u lift more. Personally it happens to me. I remember about 3 months ago i was in my weight training class and hese guys were trying to act tuff and put on a whole bunch of weight. Then they were like you go try it. I was like damn. im gunna look like a pu***. I was able to do it twice with no problem. I tried it a couple weeks later by myself and i couldnt do it..... i have a 16lb barbell at my house.

In HS I had a cheap set and because the bench was so crappy it made me unstable and took many lbs off my lift. Bench height too, look at that. It's mostly likely what P said though, get some good tunes and smash your forehead on the bar and make the lift you pussy!
