Instead of making following internet micro niche celebrity drama online, you should be looking into fixing and improving your biomechanical mech suit online.

There are two types of coaches I trust:
1. Coaches that train their ass off
2. Coaches that are too injured from training their ass off to keep training their ass off

I can’t get to a 315 squat because my knee blows up every time I get to about a 250.
Try low bar it’s easier in the knees.
I’m an Olympic lifter not a power lifter.
Oh. My mistake.

"Quoting German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, athletic fitness influencer Michael Boyle said truth passes through three stages:
Stage 1. Ridiculed
Stage 2. Violently Opposed
Stage 3. Accepted as Begin Self-Evident
Boyle describes traditional strength coaches as barbell meatheads who are stuck in the Violently Opposed stage."
