I know, but I like the theory of it. Thing is that its another thing called "life" that gets in the way for full recovery between workouts some days and once that happens it easiliy ends bad. If one was a machine and could only eat, sleep and lift it would be another thing, but that would not be fun :P

As far as training partners go, if you
run with the lame, you will develop a limp.
So only train with those who have the same
goals as your own. Everyone can’t be a world
champ, but we all can be better.

Just remember, it’s the selection that counts. You must pick a lift or exercise that builds your
particular weakness. Don’t get caught up in doing an exercise that your friends like but that
does little for you.

Reminds me of something I have been know to say from time to time:

Advanced lifters don't program based on whims and things that sound nice on paper, and neither should you.

There is something to be said about doing some insane lifting/volume for the squat every so often. It will build muscle mass and mental mass; two things that are often missing in all of us.
