Hi,
I saw a "fact" account on twitter, write this:
"Listening to music increases your strength - Your brain is distracted by what you're hearing and doesn't concentrate on what you're lifting"
Now, is there merit to this? Because I replied suggesting that it does not make you stronger, because it is just distracting you. You are only able to lift what your body can, and that distraction is in the mind, and so just related to the perception of strength.
Now of course, if you are distracted, then you may be able to lift more. That may make you stronger in the long term. But I think the tweet is suggesting that at that moment, when you are lifting, the results of distraction is related to strength.
I've had a couple of people that wanted to "debate" this with me. I've stuck to what I think is right.
But what is right? Surely, the distraction does not make you immediately stronger?
I've tried googling this, but to no success. What do you think? Bonus points for anyone that can find credible sources, preferably with some science thrown in.
Thanks! (link)

Well, it does not. But it kinda raises your mood and make you feel comfortable, like if you had real life issues with something. Thats just my opinion, because music shall not make you strong, since you can gain strength by training like gym, or training your mind by reading educating books, i prefer books about psychology, our unconsciousness.
