One other thing I thought about pointing out earlier:
You’ve mentioned undertaking these types of “experiments” because you found that “traditional” methods were not giving you the results that you wanted.
After watching your videos, many posters have chimed in to comment with tips on form. We’re not just talking minor tweaks, either, but some pretty major/glaring flaws in your squat and deadlift form. To your credit, you have taken this advice, but it still must be noted just how much of a rank beginner you look like when performing the core lifts. I’m not talking about the weight, either; I’m strictly commenting on the form. You look like someone that, prior to beginning this program, had never performed a proper squat or deadlift.
Taking that into consideration, I suspect that your bemoaned lack of progress with “traditional” methods had far more to do with your poor application of those traditional methods than a problem with the methods themselves.[/quote]
This is about the only relevant thing in this very long thread now.
OP started this because the methods that work for most everyone else didn’t work for him.
It turns out that he doesn’t even know how to squat or deadlift properly, two of the basic key lifts for anyone who wants to get stronger and bigger
This calls into question his very claim that the regular methods don’t work for him, simply because we don’t know how much effort he put into the regular methods and whether he actually did those regular methods in a proper manner.
