^^^^Yeah. You know this is why I am so adamant about telling everyone when they first start out to concentrate on basic movements and a good strength foundation. And I know 0311 feels that way. The fact is you can get away with a lot of stupid stuff as a newb and you may not get the results you otherwise would have, but you will get results and it won't kill you. Unfornutately some of that lack of foundation and that missed oppurtunity can catch up to you, and some of it you may never get back causing you to never be able to reach the potential you otherwise would have.
I know a lot of people won't believe this. It'll be like, pick a program, everything works...and it might. But it's like jumping into an icy river. You may get across but if you don't have a plan you may also die of hypothermia once you do.

Yeah. It's all about the intensity you are able to generate and how costly that is to your body. The fact is if you can manage what you are doing and actually make progress, which I actually doubt, then you are lifting on a novice level after two years of training. That's all there is to it. But here's the rub I was speaking of....it IS possible to fuck up enough so that you never reach that 300 plus level. It may be you shoulders or other chronic injuries. It may be weaknesses that you can't seem to overcome. Whatever. But it can and does happen.
Hell, I feel I am damn lucky to have reach the level I have, and it was MUCH harder than it should have been. But I am paying for that progress with a lot of little nagging problems, and that didn't have to happen either.
