Do you know what the conjugate method is? I'm taking no...otherwise you would know you don't have to change programs. You can change exercises, bars, etc to change your workout to keep it from getting "stale". What level of fitness you are at determines how often you change...3-4 weeks for a beginner, to 1 week for an advanced athlete. And again, you missed the point again...an advanced system gives you better results, faster even for a teenage beginner....

Ah yes the old "legend"...lol. For sure there were. But as you would say "in general" athletes are bigger, stronger, and faster today.

See you soon

Even in the links you posted they recommend having solid training under your belt before attempting them.

I have about a dozen programs I have read through and saved as at some point I plan to utilize them.(they are current lol) Any program is only good until you adapt to it then move on to something new, some programs you will use more frequently but best gains are made when various methods are used. In the event that I'm still capable of lifting when I complete my stockpile of programs perhaps I will thoroughly read the ones you reference and maybe try them as they look to be solid programs.

By the way, the early days produced some legends using what you consider "antiquated techniques"
