You guys don't appreciate the force of gravity involved, it's not like going from 20kg to 49 kg, you can actually feel the difference between a weight that big even if you can handle it. It's like going from a 5000V tazer shock to a 50,000V tazer shock, best analogy for it. You have to focus full on to lift just 200lb, it's like a steel wall on you, when you move up to 250lb it's like being run over... it's really intense. Get what I mean? The sensation of heavy weights is different to a sub 100kg weight, even it you're at your max for both weights. Not sure what it is, the inertia or something, they are a cunt to move.
