    Is this even a real question? Sure, correcting form helps and of course you gain neuromuscular efficiency, but to even consider you don't gain any muscle when all it takes is to just look at yourself in the mirror after a couple of months of SS? Lol, just lol.

    Whoa, talk about contention! It looks like we'll need the opinion of a second social media marketeer to put this issue to rest once and for all.

    ATB, some other random thoughts:

    - I suspect 1RM barspeed is pretty stable from years 1-3 of training. And, then, as the lifter advances, 1RM bar speed gets ever slower (does anyone know Mike T's barspeed for a ~1RM squat?). I take this ever decreasing speed of the 1RM (or skill with grinding) to be NM efficiency (in that it demands optimized recruitment in temporal & spatial domains):,

    - forgetting efficiency for a bit. I'm happy to describe a lifter's growth over time like this:
    * novice requires 24 hours of stress/recovery to get 1% bigger
    * int needs 96 hours of stress/recovery to get 1% bigger
    * advanced lifters might need something like up to 6 months of continual stress to get 1% bigger*.

    ^ this, of course, is assuming no drugs.

    * by 'bigger' I mean CSA.

    This is why I asked the OP if he had ever been diagnosed with anything similar.

    I know that when I say tone-deaf (or stupid) things on a forum and the whole forum reacts badly, it isn't them, it is me.

    Preferably over 60. I don't mean to insult anyone over 60 for being old. Even though you are. Shouldn't be insulted by it. Stop being a crybaby!! Alright, I take it back.
