I guess it's your way to protect yourself from a reality you don't want to see. You have your own ideas about training and you'll defend them because you cannot accept the fact that you could be wrong which would imply that since X years you have wasted your time and effort : too much volume, too many exercises, high reps / light weight endurance training, and too high effort leading to overtraining. It's up to you to blindly stay and defend your reality or have the courage to imagine that what you are doing is wrong. There is nothing more I can do for you.

Why a rounded back Deadlift ? Because I wrongly thought that if I could use an heavier load it implied that the muscles of the BACK and/or Legs were working Harder. It was a mistake because if the Back is Rounded it means that the muscles cannot maintain an extension of the back despite maximum force output and thus they are fatigued / overtrained. Plus... there is the risk for the spine. So like all of you I have been a victim of the belief that "more is better" (I thought more load, heavier load would be better and didn't even care about the risk).

Workout number 3 : (since the adjustment of the loads)

Deadlift : 130, 145
Curl Left Arm : 24, 27
Curl Right Arm : 22, 25
Floor Press Right Arm : 36, 41
Floor Press Left Arm : 36, 41

BTW I knew this video but it was funny to look at it again ! My form was not as bad as that but my back was rounded.

There is also such a thing as too little volume and too little exercises, and too low effort that leads to undertraining which = Zero progress.
