They weren't due to holistic methods, they were due to people realizing the actual mechanisms behind those holistic methods. Things like meditation/prayer or what have you. You're not actually talking to God or channeling old dragons into your forearms, you are simply calming your mind.
In this case, it's adrenalin, not some weird mystical power that somehow you can only see if you really really believe in it.

Adjust your own heavier weight that you do 10-14 reps and use one that is 15-20 lbs lighter and do 100 reps if that would make it similar to me using a 20 lb weight. After doing 100 reps try and do 200-300 reps. It is pretty much impossible unless you can get the adrenaline/electricity to flow through your body and feel it. It's like an aura. Like I said I've been observing all the other guys at numerous gyms and none of them seem to have this ability besides myself. Didn't see any goosebumps nor forearm hairs standing straight up.
Just read up a little on how adrenaline actually works and then visualize what it can do at greater levels than when excreted normally.
You see, the guys at the gym were relaxed when working out. That's the difference. Can you lift as much as the "seasoned" guys there could? If not, then I don't see why I should listen to you over them, especially since they have the backing of science.
Like seycyrus pointed out, throwing around 20lbs for 100 reps will not do anything to benefit you, just waste time. It's not how lifting works. You're not getting stronger by doing that, your body is just getting annoyed.
Moreover, I still don't see the point of the obsession about forearm hairs standing up. Mine are long and thick, and I doubt anything could make them stand straight up.
