Can anyone give anecdotal (or somehow evidenced) information about the effects different factors have on the body like:
- low vs high protein intake
- low vs high intensity
- low vs high total volume
- low vs high reps/weight
- using creatine
- compound vs isolation movements
- crossfit/weightlifting moves vs standard gym bro movements
Over longer periods of time (1/2/3 years)? Apart from just getting better at the particular thing (e.g. mechanically better clean vs bench, or high vs low reps/weight), are there any visual differences to how the muscles develop, or is it just a matter of "getting to the same exact end goal faster"? Especially curious for the last 2 points about exercise selection. Thank you in advance, hopefully this question is not too stupid.
