At that point I had be training on ss for 10 months. I could not do power cleans but for press, bench, squat and deadlift. I had fail once on bench corrected moved forward, failed to get deadlift a few times due to form, then corrected moved forward and had not failed once on press or squat. Then I failed 4 training sessions in a row with a coach and said why I was failing. How would that seem like variance to you? That is the part I do not understand. If he would have just said "damn you right you can't stretch before lifting heavy" I would still be training with him. But really what is the aversion to accepting that this is the problem?
