Totally, that's what I'm saying right there. And a newbie just can't apply the intensity yet. Heavy for a novice has a different definition than heavy does for an intermediate or advanced guy. In the end it can come down to programming. Besides learning proper form and simple rules of progression a total newbie just doesn't need much advanced programming to gain strength. It's when you get into more advanced areas that complicated programming schemes are needed to PREVENT injury simply owing to the incredible amount of intensity they are able to generate.

In Matt's interviews with Pendlay and Rippletoe it goes into their philosophy with training kids.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
