rest is important

Well tbh if you aren't physically active I would in fact argue you aren't as good as someone who is
you're nowhere near your bodily potential, including mental capacity, not to mention the slew of physical & health benefits that you simply can't get without being active.

basically first time at the gym I had one free PT lesson. He showed me how to squat and then I asked him how to deadlift, he showed me how to do a good morning......

I completely agree. But that train of thought seems to imply that all other forms of physical activity that are not lifting are not legitimate.

what do you mean by "aren't as good"? Aren't as good physically? Of course. Aren't as good of a person or by measuring their contribution to society? not at all.

Back in the day being told, start off with X weight, after 2 weeks add a few kg's and so on keep increasing.

Worst advice ever as you can't just grab some dumbells say 10kg for example and train everything, you will chest press more than you will bicep curl you need to adjust weight to exercise.

worst advice I ever got was not to be like noun

you have to eat clean and 5 times per day in order to build muscles

maximum le str for maximum le size.

was also the predominant idea when i first came to these forums

Was going to post this as the worst advice I've been given. There's nothing that kills your motivation/self esteem as much as training hard and still looking like shit because you got fat.
