What if the bar falls from their back and they don't let go? what if they fall over with the bar on the neck? what if they get pinned and don't know how to bail? the problem is not tearing, the problem is general discoordination and clumsiness

Jesus I hope you're not a personal trainer or a physiotherapist, because you underestimate beginner lifters as if they have the IQ of a fucking tadpole.

a beginner doesn't have the strength or coordination to lift 45lbs over his head, specially those who are obese.

Obese people are literally stronger than skinny people. An obese beginner would definitely have enough strength to lift 45lbs over their head lmao.

and yet we can isolate them, odd; and they grow better by doing so, odd
obviously that when you push you use your hole body, but if you want bigger pecs you are better off making sure the limiting factor is the pec and not the tricep, since you don't care about triceps, you care about pecs. This is bodybuilding 101

Saw one of the early morning regulars break 400 on flat bench a few days ago and it was badass.

As of last week, yup. Numbers finally started to drop a bit at the very end so I'm done for now.

Having actual problems going back to eating more, doing everything fasting for 8 weeks REALLY makes you notice the difference between fasting and not because it's a shitload easier to do everything fasting when you're used to it. Nutrition is weird. Might try to actually rework the higher calories around the same two-meal schedule I was using for the fast and see how that goes for a week or two.
 
My range of motion regarding squats is not the best, I will admit. Granted, I am not just dipping a single inch and shooting back up. I feel the soreness in my glutes and hamstrings the next day after squats, so at least it's not completely dogshit. Still, I can't really go ass to grass or very deep down. Even when lightening the weights, it's still hard to go deeper down than I usually do. Maybe it's a mobility issue.

Also, while I will be called a HOMOSEXUAL for saying this, I am not a fan of the deadlift at all. Generally anything that requires a barbell, with the exception of the overhead press. There used to be a trap bar and it was fun doing deadlifts with it but then it disappeared into the void. For the back my main exercise is the pull-up. Can already do 10 reps, gonna aim for 12 and then slap some weights with that funny looking belt to progress further.
