Gains Slowing Over Time, Or Are They? Is Volume They Key?

The title pretty much says it all. However I was wondering that while the length and girth gains slow over time is the volume gains progressing at a linear rate?

I just did some basic math and I think I may have answered my own question. 1/4 inch gain between 5 to 6 inches seems pretty linear in volume gains. Down at 4.5 inches a 1/4 inch gain becomes a bigger gain in volume.

This all came about as I have seen two 1/4 inch gains in girth during my last two IPR phases. I was wondering if it was unreasonable to expect another 1/4 inch from my next cycle. However the Visualiser shows each 1/4 inch adds about 20 cubic center meters around the 5.5 inch girth mark.

Oh well a question to ponder.

Bearded Dragon contemplates that 1 or 2 cubic inches a year is the typical gains rate for most of us. Additionally, this rate is the same across sizes. So…it is more epic looking on smaller guys starting out. And harder for long time veterans to detect after so long in the game.

Check his thread listings. The discussion was rather nice.

Thanks. I recalled reading his one on big gainers and the associated statistics. I’ll have another look.
