The data provided is not consistent with the ACSM guidelines regarding progression in strength, power, endurance or hypertrophy

This is interesting. It's hard to imagine that you get stronger doing a less heavy weight for a given amount of reps. For example, if I could do 85% of my 1RM for 8 reps, why would I get stronger doing 70% of my 1RM for the same amount of reps?

Please try to bring up the slides as you talk about them, not just click past what you have already said (if that makes sense)

All of this stuff is based on basically training someone who has never trained. If you're watching this and are strong as hell and know your way around a gym most of these numbers seem off. Everyone knows you train at a higher % of your 1rpm if you're going for strength. According to this you'd never do a set less than 6 reps lol.

You are either trolling or just ignorant af. ACSM guidelines are for the most sedentary person you can possibly think of. You know, the classic fat, weak couch potato who hates exercise. They aren't going to try that hard because they'll give up. So ACSM sets guidelines a tad below for sedentary safety. NSCA has guidelines for different training ages (Novice, Intermediate, advance). Recommended Load %1-RM for novices are ≥70%, intermediate is ≥80%, and advance is ≥85%. Current studies show that 70-85% of 1-RM is a good sweet spot for STR. Also, it seems you glossed over the video...it clearly shows STR ACSM recommendations is 8-12. So idk wtf you're even looking at
