    People rarely spend enough time trying one specific thing before they abandon it and move to the next.

    Lucky me, I started lifting too late in life. Plus I’m too old and too weak to change things too much.

    From my experience its the older lifter who is more willing to dedicate the time necessary to a program to see real results, the younger lifters tend to bounce around a lot.

    Right, that's what I mean. It's very humbling to realize the clock is ticking and nobody gets to change the batteries. Time becomes the most valuable asset you own so you need to be very wise about how you use it. They put out a lot of good info for free, I swear I think bought something like that from them a year or so back.

That doesn't mean it's a useless discussion, just that they don't view things the same way, or have the same priorities or experiences. Look for the commonalities, not the differences.
    yeah, but it way too much info, and the context varies.
    Different people need different cues and what not.
    When to apply what. Its total information overload.

    I briefly skimmed through, closed it when I saw "squat the weight up".

    I consider myself pretty open minded when it comes to training.
    I guess its nice to see different accomplished lifters "takes" on things.

    Agreed. Some of the advice was conflicting and cues for each person are context-dependent. So much noise it's hard to pull something useful out of that article.

    That's the same reason I hear from people who don't want to read Starting Strength. Sounds lazy to me.

    I would be amazed if you could get a group of people together and not have this be the case. Sure, you can minimize that by asking a bunch of people from the same school of thought (say... Starting Strength coaches, for example), but other perspectives can give new information and cues that work for you. I've gotten useful info from articles/videos by Ed Coan, Pete Rubish, Mark Bell, Izzy, and Les (Callador), despite being different from how it's presented in The Book.

    Due to the context (the article being presented as a round-table, for instance) you'd expect a wide range of pointers and it not to be overly specific, no?
