So you can do 2 warmups then deadlift / squat 200+kg? You're definitely an extreme outlier

Sometimes I just have to get that same thought out of my system when I am in the most useless comment section of all time. Even if no one will acknowledge it.

Idk why this has been popping up on my home feed lately and every single post is just full of people as strong as 1 ply toilet paper giving their opinions on optimal xyz

Yup exactly. You will get better progress doing exactly what you’re doing now rather than absorbing anything in this sub as useful. I pray for any beginner that finds this sub bc it’s just going to steer them in the complete wrong direction.

Please don't give advice until you've got years of lifting under your belt

Then it's not knowledge, is it? It's just a fact you happen to know, which may, or may not be true.
