SSJ puts a multiplier on your base power. If you get stronger in your base form, it becomes exponentially effective.
Gravity training is amazing.
Goku lifting stuff is kinda stupid. He needs to gravity train too or train WITH someone/multiple people.
I also think they should just do what krillin did on namek until they run out of sensu beans. Ki blast through the gut. Eat a sensu. Rince. Repeat.
Sometime between when Goku first climbs the tower and the start of the Saiyan saga, Korin's supply on senzu beans is exhausted, so there's only ever a few in existence during DBZ. Whatever he'd be able to grow between major battles would quickly be exhausted if they were used like that.
The boost Saiyans receive after recovering from near death is called Zenkai, and it's just a plot device to explain how Goku can keep up with enemies that are much more powerful than him before the show became about SS and fusions. Sometime between Frieza and Cell sagas, it stops happening - possibly because a Saiyan no longer receives it after achieving SS (or Toriyama just wrote it out). Other than Cell receiving the boost, nobody gets it after the Frieza saga. There's even a point where Buu tells Gohan flat out that he hasn't increased in power after Dende healed Gohan.
