Reminds me of the David Goggins story where trained a guy on pull ups. After he said he couldn't do any more, Goggins says, "that's just the first set." Story goes, the guy did a lot more pull-ups.
It's kind of like when you force your neck through a tight t-shirt. It's a little awkward at first but you permanently expand your zone of comfort and what's possible.
Cool story about the +12 reps! I've had a similar experience, so now my effort bar in the gym is pure agony. But that's better than leaving something on the table.
P.S. Leg day challenge: warm up squat with just the bar and do 100 squats in a row. Pure pain.
