Maybe it's not so much motivation controlling your ability, and we when are saying ability I take it we are talking about maximal strength, I think it is central nervous system which controls your ability and events can alter it briefly. We've all heard the stories of mothers lifting cars up to save their babies etc etc. We all have more strength than we realize or are allowed to tap into whenever we damn well please. Training your CNS allows you to tap into more of it little by little. There was actually a study done with hypnotisism and strength, shown that hypnotised inviduals could move more weight than they could conciously, whether this is a correlation or not I don't know but it's damn interesting isn't it?
Scientifically, your CNS works in a way of motor unit recruitment, rate at which they are fired, and synchronization of them firing. These three elements are altered to a more "athletic" or max strength productive condition when we train using maximal methods. Groovie stuff.
