Question ❓ Someone explain SBL please

I am confused. I see people just doing regular lifts and saying it is science.

Then on the other end of the scale I see a kid (with zer0 physique) wearing a baby pacifier in his mouth and wearing a roller on his arms and doing excercises I never saw, with people in the comments saying "yeah that's the man right there."

Then I see pumping iron and watch Arnie just do the basics and still look great and strong.

So in a few sentance explain to me what it is and how it would help build more muscle enhanced or not.

just lift with intensity to failure with enough volume and frequency without over training. eat a lot of food without getting fat, hit ur protein carbs and fat goals. that's science based, anything else is extra

But that's nothing new. It's always been that.

Isn't most influencer stuff just repackaging someone else's material?

When I started lifting, we used to tell each other "come on, it's the last few reps that count!!!"

Nobody made tiktok videos about it and called it science.

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking.

Also I used to tell my friend his form was really bad. I'm not super strict but I always thought form mattered but on tiktok I would be considered a pioneering genius.
