I thought I just had minor muscle pains as well in my back at the start but I kept lifting and lifting. After a while things didn't get better. Now I have a hurniated disk and disk...

That is great that you are able to max out on the lat pulldown machine. I haven't even come close to that!

Variable and dynamic rep changes from set to set depending on feel are good when not following a strict program like 5x5. But if you're going to do 5x5 for strength, you better do 5x5 because it's...

Heh, this is coming from a guy who's 6'6" and looks like the hulk in his picture :)

I disagree.

I'm 5'7, should I be able to bench 250+ and deadlift 350+ (for reps) before I think about advanced methods?
