You will be happier doing something your own unorthodox way, and succeed, rather than following the regimen of somebody else (even if their method is superior).

For example, my supreme joy of deadlifting more, with a trap bar, instead of a traditional sumo style deadlift.

Also, the extreme joy of achieving something, even though you have no video recorded proof of it, or witnesses.

Once again, if you deadlifted 600 pounds, and nobody witnessed it, will it still be substantial? Of course!

Or, assuming that you squatted 540 pounds, but didn’t do it “all the way “, or “cheated “. But would it still matter? Of course!
