I'm not sure that everybody will get what I was talking about in the begining. Although of course I agree wholeheartedly with the things Boris said about continually questioning and tweaking...so this isn't aimed at that.

My purpose was not to just criticize people's lack of ability to use good technique. It was to make a point that if you ARE trying to learn and practice a new lift then it really pays to have a "honeymoon" with it before you become involved in trying to aggressively load the bar and all that. When I was growing up in the south they way they taught you to swim was to toss you in the pond. Well you "learned" to swim to "save yourself" but you never became a good swimmer that way. In order to learn to swim I had to UN-LEARN all the things I did before and to this day I still can't swim for shit.

Sink or swim ain't the way to learn things. That is what I am getting at.

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