> I've recently started attributing it to creatine supplementation, but I do wonder if there's anything more to it than that.
My boxing coach used to say concentration trains concentration (failing to concentrate in the ring results in automatic negative feedback).
I suspect that the focus you have when lifting (so much going on there trying to control your body while exerting at maximum effort), is helping your brain learn to better focus. If you are like most people who lift, you probably are paying attention to what is going in and coming out of your body, which also requires focus as well.
In my experience, focus is a skill that is learned, and like all things, is easy for some, and very difficult to master for others.
