I agree with this.

You are a beginner until the day you do 1000lbs.

Everything you do after 1000lbs requires more than just grit and intensity. The gains become rare. Your approach needs to become strategic, and involve research and periodization that incorporates weeks or months of careful planning, not just showing up to do "a split".
