Figured that was going to come up. I think that is a major component of it. Especially since when I joined this site I had been making my own routines and found out they were total shit.

My routines were shit to
. That's the past. But I'm not suggesting you should just go off on your own completely breaking all new ground. You can kind of stick with the tried and true and try putting in your ideas, new things you pick up, figuing out how it fits in, etc...it's going to be trial and error and there is bound to be dissapointment. But the best routine in the end is going to be the one that is for you alone from the ground up.
Of course if you post your ideas and someone thinks it is a bad idea, or dangerous or what have you that is pertinent and you shouldn't be expected to just wing it all. But I would expect people to be albe to tell you WHY and not just tell you what has worked for them in the past and what has not. Because that is ultimately only relavant to them until they collect a whole lot more data.
How many times do people embark on these routines and have to ask hundreds of questions about whether this or that will work or how they can customize it?
One big problem I see is we have all these internet things going from "intermediate" to "advanced". The intermediate one tells you do not screw with it, etc. you don't know what you are doing. Then the advanced one either continues this trend of making it one size fits all...which not only goes against the idea of advanced it is really contrary to effectvie programming of any kind. OR, you go right from "not screwing with it" to being given a hundred choices becasue now you are strong enough to be 'advanced'. But when did you learn how to choose amongst all those options?
Just a few of the many problems out there.
