Part 1 of this series: youtube.com/watch?v=eYB2i1FI4Oo
This review covers individualization, sex differences in training outcomes, long-term athletic development, basics of motor learning, and more, all in an attempt to speed up your skill acquisition and allow for an easier ramp into the sport. You'll notice the actual program includes more diverse movement selection, though we steer clear of Westside levels of kitchen-sink-ness. Everything is chosen for a specific reason, but there's enough room in there for flexibility.
An approach like this can be run for as long as you continue to make progress, but likely in the first 8 weeks, you'll need to begin by deloading, resetting, and continuing to train. Afterward, applying basic linear periodization to the reps and RPE (drop one rep per week on main lifts as you raise 0.5 RPE per week toward a peak condition) will allow you to continue to progress for a long time. You can even adjust the starting point of each new block down slightly in reps, where you might ultimately end a block with your first heavy singles (exciting!).
Further, keep in mind the notes on the individualization tab that will help you customize the training approach to your own unique physiology. Let me know your questions in the comments below.

As mentioned, I’m working on the sequel to this: how to actually train as a beginner. That one will probably be about finding shortcuts to individualizing training early on, rate of progression, and the interplay between hypertrophy and strength.

Productivity training is about increasing efficiency so that you can add more value, by eliminating busy work. Busy work keeps you occupied, but is non-productive. Success depends on increasing productivity. It is important to recognize that nobody is paid for how busy they are.

I don't want you to get the impression this is about vanity or a really poor body image. It isn't and I'm fine most of the time. Cue side conversations about toxic masculinity, comparison and social norms, pressure to both be very strong and be very lean. I wanted a different and new challenge and I did want to be leaner, but for a broader range of reasons.

Cognitive Stage - technique is predominated by thinking and staying aware of how limbs move through space
Associative Stage - movements become more efficient, fluid, reliable, and efficient
Autonomous Stage - movements are efficient but also require little to no thought.
Often, hearing and implementing technique advice may move a lifter down the stages rather than upward. And if you're giving unsolicited advice, probably don't do that

- make it short, since you need to read it every day
- make it personal. Something in the language you understand. The words, the feelings. It needs to mean a lot to you.
- make it specific. Give yourself process-oriented goals to focus on for each lift, like "when I squat, make sure to clear my mind of all distractions and execute exactly like the champion I am". Talk about the numbers you are going to hit.
- use the language as if you are the kind of person you're trying to become. If you want to be more sure of yourself, talk about how assertive you are. You can even say "it is like me to ____".
- try to avoid using negative words like "don't", "can't", "won't", and so on, EVEN IF IT'S TO CONVEY SOMETHING POSITIVE like "I can't be stopped". Instead of describing what can't happen, describe what CAN happen.
Here's one I modified that Matt Gary gave me:
"July 30, 2019
"I am a 720-pounds squatter. I train hard, wisely, and like a powerlifting champion ___ days per week. I always run a mental program before each lift and reinforce successful reps by saying, “That’s like me.” Then I focus on the next set. I record my performance analysis in my training journal and on video. I read my Directive Affirmation daily. I am a 720-pounds squatter."
Here's one that an athlete of ours made:
"I enjoy the training process. I lift to beat my own records, stay healthy and have fun while doing so. I pay attention to my nutrition, sleep and technique. I trust that the program will get me towards my goals. I choose my training loads wisely and don't lift for instagram. Although my job sometimes makes training more difficult, I find strategic ways to put in the work because I am disciplined and will not allow obstacles to come between me and my powerlifting goals. At the end of the day, I know that I have done everything in my capacity to gain positive momentum towards a bigger total. The only thing that can hold me back are my own doubts."

I'm going to try and shake them, and just create the things that feel good and feel helpful for precisely those two reasons. I probably didn't need to explain all of this, but I know there are people out there who feel the same way. In fact, here's a video on it I just watched recently:
