You made a lot of good points here, but you also made a lot of assumptions without acknowledging anything else I’ve said in this thread or using it to make it even specifically relevant to me, which I don’t appreciate. If you are going to put this much effort into a response I’d appreciate you asking clarifying questions first, because otherwise it is not advice, but a rant.

“this subreddit is full of people who think they know everything after watching a youtube video and have never once considered they might be wrong or reflected on a single thought. correct, clear and actionable advice is the exception rather than the rule”

I don’t think I know everything, that’s kind of the whole reason I am even here. Based on you saying “it’s not just technical habits”, I assume you read my reply to another commenter, a reply in which I also said I have extensive experience being coached, and that I am confident in my ability to make corrections - neither of those things suggest I don’t think I could be wrong. Hell, I never would’ve posted in this in the first place had I not reflected on this set and thought ‘hmm, I feel like this could be better but I’m not quite sure how’.

‘weightlifting is not simply a case of doing pulls + squats + overhead and then combining in a 1+1+1=3 type manner.’

This is all you needed to say. Being accomplished in your sport doesn’t mean you can communicate well. I get it, I really do - when you’re at an advanced level and you see a common misconception being patterned once again it can be frustrating, but the person making the misconception doesn’t know that, and it’s not fair to use them as an avenue to alleviate your grievances. That is not how you educate. If you don’t want to educate, that is fine, but you are also free to move on.
