5/3/1 and deloading is an import concept not mentioned here. https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/531-how-to-build-pure-stre.... Post workout meal is also very important, 50% carbs 50% protein and should be largest meal of day, if you were going to eat something bad this would be the best time to do it.
I felt the same. The article is full of broscience. There were multiple points where it was clear he was unfamiliar with exercise & nutrition research yet he still spouted the broscience as "scientific" research.
Though, I do have mixed feelings on this. If this convinces some readers to take up fitness as a hobby that's great, but there are much better fitness resources online than some broscience blog post.
Advertizing using creatine, which used to be banned everywhere until recently, and mentionning injuries all the time makes me think people should stay pretty far from any kind of advices this person gives.
Excuse me but since when is it more weight and less repetitions that lead to strength? It is the other way around. Less weight, more repititions -> strength. A lot of weight, less repetitions -> size gains.

That is not at all a fair characterization of the article. Unfair characterizations do more damage to HN than "bullshit fluff" articles do.
I'm using creatine for 10 years...
also - this article is bullshit :)

many complete proteins exist in their raw unprocessed forms.
