There are no restrictions or limitations on what a beginner should or shouldn’t do.They should absolutely copy the routines that are too high in volume, they should train like people far more accomplished than themselves, they should push their limits too far, burnout, fail hard, and crash.The ones that survive are going to be pretty awesome.“But that’s survivor bias!”I certainly hope so.Not everyone is going to succeed, and it’d be MUCH better for you to figure that out at the start of your journey rather than be 5 years deep because you followed every possible path that WOULDN’T lead to failure only to discover that the absence of failure isn’t success: it’s simply ambivalence.But hey, maybe, just maybe, there are a LOT more survivors than failures among the population, and all we have to do is LET them go out on their own to figure it out.Maybe just hitting the weight room hard for a few years will get you some results, the same way it gets results for thousands of high school kids every single year.Maybe we’ll be surprised from the results, and maybe we’ll start saying that the only thing beginners shouldn’t do is go online and listen to every guru that comes along with minimal accomplishments and a lot of youtube videos.
