@KRS2
Mind over matter. I love that your inspiration is coming from a super cute necklace. Like I said lately mine has been coming more from learning digital technology but hey whatever works for us.
 @Kala Kambon's post is kicking me into high gear though.

You can fast from certain foods and workout but you can't do a water cleanse and train. It is too much strain on the organs.

I never posted that article I wrote. I recorded it as an audio maybe I'll turn it into a video and see if I can post it here.

All jokes aside. The 2.5 year journey is like going home from work, I know the journey well. So I already understand. Strength training takes time. Plus now that I'm older I'm not going to be as aggressive as I had been in the past to prevent injury. Hence 2.5 yrs.

Also, I peeped your video. You are cheating yourself on your form on the bench and the curls. You want to use full range of motion. Or you will only be strong within the range you move the weights. Unless you are using a technique I have never seen and do not know it's purpose.

[Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé]

That's a sober reflection on the 2.5. I don't understand. Let me see a video of your form.

I don't have time to setup videos, seriously. I get in and out of the gym as fast as possible. And I have no one there to record me anyway. But check this brother out. Although I disagree regarding how far to bring the bar down. I see no problem bring it down to your chest. But like he says don't bounce the bar off your chest, control the weigh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIRXrT7ElSc

Biceps - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC3R_nMiS4A&t=18s He's using a straight bar here but the form is the same using barbells or a bicep curl bar.

His focus is too much on aesthetics for my taste. I'm solely interested in strength training not bodybuilding. If you do things right (lifting) and you eat right you will get both anyway.

Also if you work your biceps and you need to work your triceps as well for balance. The triceps are a very significant part of your upper arms. And is actually a bigger muscle group.

Nice the colors almost reminded me of the Dikenga model at first glance.

Seriously though. Impressive workout. I like that you have a medium pace with the weights. That's a better workout.

I took a lappercize class one time had us doing squats down at a 16-count Beat. That was the most intense workout. Muscles feel slow or steady better.

This is the article I wrote in audio form. I never finished editing the video but....

Good find on the videos. I just checked out the first one and I'm about to look at the second one. I'll look at my own video and see what to change and/or adapt. Unlike the guy in the video or yourself, I'm looking less for aesthetics or strength (that is to say, perhaps just for strength's sake), but more the purpose of my technique is to assist me in lifting up and slamming grown men into the ground who are actively resisting against my doing this and then dominating them once there however I see fit by preventing them from doing anything but what I decide that they will do or not do. I've been successful at doing this for the past several years. You can see me accomplishing this against a judo guy (they're supposed to be pretty good at grappling and preventing slams) towards the end of this clip:
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OBpFbTfD1I
 I'm not sure what you or the guy in the video intend to functionally accomplish with whatever strength or aesthetics that you develop. So far, I've been strong in all the ranges that I've needed over the years, but maybe in your own grappling or whatever you're using your strength for you've needed a wider range of motion to do whatever it is that you do. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks! I bought four necklaces on Saturday. Probably some of the best purchases I've made all year.  I'm all about making a statement without saying a word.
