Worth saying this works way better once the fundamentals are in place. I jumped straight here as a beginner and it didn't click until I'd put in the boring reps first. Would you tell a total beginner to start here, or build up to it?
Counterpoint, said with respect: this works great until your situation changes. It carried me for a year, then I outgrew it and had to rebuild. Any sense of when someone should move past this approach?

Genuinely useful. The detail about the approach itself is the bit I'll actually use — most posts on this stay surface-level. Does it hold up when things get busy and you can't be precise about it?

The silence-after-stating-your-position move is so real and so uncomfortable. Worked for me too, terrifying every time though.
Right? And the longer I do it the more I realize the boring fundamentals were the whole game the entire time.

Underrated reply — this is the actual answer people scroll for. The headline gets the clicks but this is the substance.
