It s impossible to give a list of training and training-related measures and assume that the total package will work equally well for all individuals. No two people can interpret and implement a set of measures identically. Identical siblings aside, no two people are identical physically and so do not have the same response package. No two people have the same stresses upon them, all of which can influence how well you respond to a given set of measures. Just compare yourself with others and consider genetics, lifestyle, age, training zeal, nutritional habits, training knowledge, mentality, equipment available, etc., and you factor in so many reasons why the results one person gets from a given program can be so different to those another gets on the same program.
Individual bias is another factor too.
If you align yourself rigidly with one strand of opinion, you can get so locked into it that you never apply yourself to another line of opinion with the zeal you do with what you are already happy with. Thus, the other opinion is never going to work for you. Some of you have written in to rave over how well you did using a 5 x 5 program. Others have written in to say that you couldn t get much out of the 5 x 5 program, but sets of 10-12 really worked. Some people only like to squat for 20-rep sets.
