For example lifting 150lbs benchpress x 10 reps x 3 sets, or whatever. So they have the same DNA, same everything and DO the same actions.

Twin A believes in himself, has a positive expectation, and uses LoA to visualize himself being muscular.

Twin B doesn't believe in himself, has a negative expectation, and uses LoA to visualize failing to build muscle.

Do you think after 2 years of following this regiment, that both twins would build the same amount of muscle?

In other words, do you think that the belief and positive expectation part of the equation you posted is simply there to drive us to take action (motivational force), but as long as we take action anyways, the first 2 parts can be taken out of the equation all together?
I used to be a musclehead who spent many years in the gym, so I am fully qualified to answer your question.

The answer is that if both are following the exact same routines at the gym, they will both have the same muscle mass as a result.
