yet again why reinvent the wheel when there are lifters who actually got there(advanced) and write about in online and on videos based on scientific studies and their own experience??
I do not believe you genuinely care to hear the answer to that question.
I donāt want to speak for @EyeDentist or @T3hPwnisher, but my thoughts are that youāre looking at this as a very binary thing: learn everything about training or learn nothing about training. Thereās plenty of ground inbetween the two and my opinion is that youāre focussing too much on the thinking about lifting minutiae and not enough on the actual lifting.
Edit: this is what @EyeDentist said 10 posts ago
yet again this holds some truth and i am terrible at consistency i admit it but on the side learning i am not all or nothing i just believe i am a bit of a moderate on that one, i just love reading and learning and now with the lock down i seek a lot of mental stimulation and along with others learning about lifting is one of this avenues of stimulation. But we are gonna see how its gonna go for me with consistency, i donāt seem to stop being consistent on training any time soon.
Learning stuff about training is fun, totally get you there. I spend far more time than is productive doing it. But consistency and effort are your cheat codes here.

If you do the calisthenics, then switch to barbells
You will get the same intense, Brief linear gains (3-6 weeks?) that everybody gets when they first touch barbells.
Only you will āstartā and āfinishā at a higher spot than if you didnāt build a Base with the (hard) calisthenics first. If youāre āin shapeā youāll have a higher level of General Fitness, before you start with the Specific barbell work.
Think of heroic Bill Kazmaier. He āonlyā added like 250 pounds to his deadlift from the first time he deadlifted until he was the Strongest. But he pulled 600 the first time because of his hellacious Base.
For Progression Models, Heavy/Light/Medium (DUP) is totally great for beginners, and everyone else too.

very good answer thanks!! anyways probably the gyms will open in 3-4 months in my country so i will not get very far because it is a relatively small time frame.
i will adopt DUP when i cannot add reps/weight every session or every week to say the truth it will make my workouts very exciting but not yet.
I genuinely think the more about training I read the worse off I am.
Stupid HIT training, modern day splits, the perfect science based workouts etc
All a waste. If Iād have just stuck to chicken, rice and a bro split instead of prancing about Iām 100% sure Iād be further on than I am now.
Reading is fun but read some Bernard Cromwell books instead.
