Remember this bullshit paper? Neither load nor systemic hormones determine resistance training-mediated hypertrophy or strength gains in resistance-trained young men
Remember Stuart Phillips, the PI of this "study"? Same guy: Eleven papers corrected after nutrition prof fails to disclose patent, company ties
“Eight journals have corrected a total of eleven papers after one of the authors failed to list potential financial conflicts of interest. Two additional journals have also told Retraction Watch that they plan to issue corrections, which will bring the total to 13 or more.
Stuart Phillips is a professor and director of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise, and Health Research at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. The corrected studies — which now reflect Phillips’ links to companies or patents — are all related to his research on nutritional supplements and exercise.
One journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, issued a single correction for four studies authored by Phillips:
Dr. Stuart M. Phillips is listed as an inventor on patent (Canadian) 3052324 issued to Exerkine, and a patent (US) 16/182891 pending to Exerkine (but reports no financial gains). Dr. Phillips reports personal fees from Enhanced Recovery (donated to charity), equity from Exerkine (all proceeds donated to charity), outside the submitted work.
Exerkine is a biotechnology company in Ontario developing therapies for aging, according to its website. Enhanced Recovery is a sports drink containing whey protein, collagen and leucine.
Together, the corrected articles have been cited at least 72 times, according to Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science. A study in PLOS ONE — “A whey protein-based multi-ingredient nutritional supplement stimulates gains in lean body mass and strength in healthy older men: A randomized controlled trial” — has been cited 41 times.”

With everything going right now..
“For me the world has always been more of a puppet show. But when one looks behind the curtain and traces the strings upward he finds they terminate in the hands of yet other puppets, themselves with their own strings which trace upward in turn, and so on. In my own life I saw these strings whose origins were endless enact the deaths of great men in violence and madness. Enact the ruin of a nation.”

Personal anecdotes are more trustworthy than "peer-reviewed" research at this point.

First of all, thank you very much for all the knowledge you are providing. I bought a pass at starting strength network, both the grey and the blue book, and have read all of it once in the past (however I hadn't finished the squat chapter).
I have been training with weights for about a year, completely sedentary before that, but it took me some time to discover your content. I did the Stronglifts (a criminal copy of your content) novice linear progression from December 2020 to March 2021 until a squat of around 140kg for 3x5, and since then haven't progressed as fast because I was fucking around without knowing which program to do.
Do you think I should start your novice linear progression or should I jump straight to some of the versions of the Texas Method in the grey book?
For the NLP, how to choose the weights?
My current stats are:
Sorry for the English errors, I am not a native speaker.
ALWAYS start with the novice progression, exactly as detailed in the programming chapter of the blue book. ALWAYS. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
