I think the idea of having people going right to advanced programs "because they want to train harder" makes no sense. Train smarter not harder. And certainly there is not a one size fit's all way of doing things so that a person should go "I want to pick this program because I want to work harder than the next guy". That is just completely illogical.

Good way to get people hurt if your only criteria is how "hard" they are willing to work. A beginner's program that has you loading the bar every workout is, after a while, just as "hard" as anything else. Unless you think pure fatigue is the only proof of hard work. Just because your not huffing and puffing doesn't mean you aren't working hard. In fact it can be just the opposite and putting a person who is not ready on advanced amounts of volume will just have them using crappy intensity.
