If you want to learn "the secret", those answers have to come from those that are better than me, and virtually all SSCs are significantly stronger than I am. Truth is, we all know the secret.....linear progression with basic barbell exercises and paying attention to recovery (eating enough, sleeping enough, and refraining from silly bullshit that keeps us from getting stronger).
The only thing that may somewhat set me apart from others is I find the prospect of someone being stronger than me absolutely repugnant. I push myself to get stronger out of a deep hatred for myself and out of a strong moral aversion to allowing someone to be stronger than me.
