I understand what you are saying DLD. But for hard gainers like me using the old school approach (no rest, 3+ hour long daily sessions, etc etc) would guarantee a life long sentence, instead of a few years, to reach one's goals. If you take a maintenance kegel and maybe even jelq routine for penile health out of the equation. What I'm saying is hopefully with a more efficient strategy like I believe this logical and more scientific approach offers, end goals will be reached in a few years of consistent action, with some of that time just being allotted to rest. Working smarter not harder with better results for many. Because it's more efficient and allows for rest, less weights or force will be needed hence less chance for injury and further tissue stiffening.
I don't think what we have is the end all be all as it's still evolving but the results... well the results speak for themselves. With more people adopting this approach and recording it we will be able to come up with more reliable systems and each individual will be able to more properly track their progress and learn to make their own adjustments.
As I've said I really think the frequent measurement and tracking strain is where this shines, the heat allows for more strain and the decon allows the tissue to be stained by lower loads once coming back. I used to think measuring frequently was bad for morale but now I think like a scientist. I learned that from fitness. I used to think only measure your weight once a week when trying to cut so you don't get disheartened. But weight fluctuates from day to day. I've learned to track it daily and take the weekly average. Same for PE. When I first started seeing the increase between pre and post workouts I was taking aback. When I saw it between exercises I was mind blown. How did I not know this all this time?!
Some earlier pioneers like xeno I believe was doing just this but he didn't expressly say it, however he came to find diminishing returns at around 12 days. I believe BPSFL was how he was tracking this. I don't know if he was taking strain levels which is on another level. He was using therapeutic heat and decons. He has documented proof of gains. However his paradigm was to cause microtears so some of his methods were extreme. The goal was intense methods to cause inflammation then use ADS and rest. I know think most of us are operating at fibroblast mediated proliferation, especially kyrpa and now me as we are both not getting an inflammation response or seeking fatigue.
