Food isn't the reason you are still 65kg? Frequency/volume or any other rubbish you can scheme up having nothing to do with that fact you are 65kg, you are 65kg because you haven't eaten enough since you joined in July, plain and simple.Personally, I think food isn't the reason. I think the reason is as simple as I was training the lifts with a higher frequency and a higher volume, with a higher percentage of them being first lifts.
You are not an athlete, none of what Glenn Pendlay does with his actual athletes applies to you, you should just go back onto the beginner program and do some hard work for a change, stick to it for 6-12 months, rather than focusing on form, doing all these bullshit smolov sheiko rubbish or doing speed deads and all this shit like you constantly doI've been talking to Glenn Pendlay about a reasonable plan as he trains a lot of his athletes to daily maxes on squats and presses

So I maintain that what most internet "experts" say about what is best is mostly rubbish. The beginner 'strength' routine here has you doing 3x8-10 reps for example...
I'm going to just push the limits of what I can do, ignoring what the internet says I can and can't do and add some kilos to my total again
its not the program.. its how you progress on the program. Im sure you could do well on other programs, you just think you can't and therefore don't progress.
I think you need to do what you think will work for you. No amount of doing something that annoys you or bores you will ever work. If you are happy to train the way you are training now, I say stick to it Oni, and see where it takes you. After all, if you are training the way that makes you work hard and feel strong, something must be working right? If it doesn't work in the long run you can always go back to another type of training. Everyone has different things that work for them, I have been on the 3x8 training for ages now and I have stuffed around with some lower rep work for the last couple of weeks without changing my program, just my reps. I must say it has bought a whole new world of hurt and I feel strong, I think lower reps works for me so I will be changing up my program to a strength based program for 2012. You must lift in the way that motivates you to train, but also understand what it is you want from your training also. I think you got an idea Oni, and its doing something for you, so stick to it for 6 months and see where it takes you mate.
Good luck

Ok i agree with some of what you have been saying. Overtraining is highly overblown. I have squatted everyday before as well as done max deadlifts 3+ times a week and it worked well especially the deadlifts.
But for a 65kg bloke to say most of the internet experts are rubbish and using a 110kg squat as evidence is a bit much.
Oni, they not "experts", they are EXPERTS, and they are given this title for a reason.
The reason you failed to progress (and still lift as much as one of my 60kg females who has been lifting for less than a year) has nothing to do with a program.
Best of luck.
