Weightlifters use weight they can lift and feel good after the session. Literally. They may feel tired, but they feel good. They see weights go up and feel like progressing (unless they are in fact stagnating).

That is literal opposite of what OP describes. What OP describes is weight lifter taking on weight they cant lift and conatantly feeling like a failure after each training.
