That is 100% true. I do put my full strength or stamina(depending); into my lifts! I realized early on, I could change my growth using a lot lighter weight by using a slow tempo: basically a 225 bench press would trick my muscles into being a 335lbs, or a 75lb ez curl would be like 135lbs; just by going at a new tempo. I was training a female athlete today and I taught her some of my tricks today. Changing hand placement(close/near/inward/outward/reverse/neutral)or foot and toe (stance/positions/direction. That right there can make 100 new exercises for a person! That is not even counting changing up total volume or hitting a certain total thousands of lbs. I do my exact protocol until something stops working; which may be in 8 weeks or 8 months! Just depends on your actual goal and/or target.
I used to train at a neighborhood playground(I had no gym to go to at the time, was visiting one of my older brothers at his university with my cousin who bodybuilds, we were there for 6weeks). So we basically were doing push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, abs/calves, but having my older, bigger cousin with me and we could provide each other w assistance or resistance, and did all kinds of variations. It taught me a ton! When I flew back home(summertime); everyone in my family was shocked at how much muscle I put on and cut AF! At the time, I never really did a lot of manual bodyweight exercises having always a gym w everything since I was 12. Definitely was a life changing time time because it showed me how to target certain muscles and areas of the larger muscles and also to use chainbelts/accessories@ the gym. I kind of relieved that when the pandemic first hit.

you impress me my friend. We have a very similar thought process and seemingly a similar understanding of biomechanics and development… There are so many trainers out there they don’t understand how the simplest tweak can change everything. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to promote change.
Thank you always for your input. It is very much appreciated and wanted.
