Suspend that belief. xeno can do anything :) . As long as I know HOW to do it. But how to find out HOW? Here’s how:
Forget about trying to understand WHY PE works (I can’t believe how much effort you guys give to researching everything but the sytematics of your own dicks) and focus on HOW PE works. Forget about the input variables, there are too many covariant ones which we know nothing about the co-variance of. Just boil them all down to one variable, work (= load x time), and analyze variation in THE output variable, gains rate with respect to THE input variable, work rate, (δg/δt)/(δw/δt).
That’s what I did. After doing a year’s worth of experimenting over 4 training cycles, during which I varied training frequency, magnitude and duration, while recording, analyzing, iterating and modeling. My model converged on the training protocol that I’ve recommended. I then decided to share my findings with you guys. There have to be guys like me to counter-balance the takers of the world.
While I don’t expect to be thanked, I do expect to not be told that I can’t do something. Speak for yourself. In fairness to you ps, I think your comment more than anything simply demonstrates a lack of understanding of what I’ve presented. Let me try to fix that. What all four of my data sets showed was a steep gains curve up to day 12 of each training cycle, typically reaching ~0.25” EL and ~0.125” EG at that point. Measuring these magnitudes of change over a period of 12 days is easy (not to mention fun!)…I’m sure anyone, including you, could do it. That’s where the inflection point was found in all four of my experiments. MX tells me that he found the same thing. And that Shiver did too. Down to the same day, in fact. 12. How’s that for statistical significance? I wonder if babbis’ rate of gains peaked at day 12 too?
I want to convey understanding so I won’t go into the calculus that I’ve used to analyze my data, I’ll use an analogy instead…think of the process of PE like this…its a race between an armadillo and a turtle, both of which weigh the same, around a circular track…lets call the armadillo gains and the turtle conditioning. The two racers are connected to each other by an elastic rope (think of it as your dick) that becomes less elastic as it lengthens, but has the property of gaining elasticity as an unknown function of time when at rest. The goal is to get the armadillo as far around the track as possible. IOW, the further around the track the armadillo makes it, the longer the elastic rope (your dick) has grown. They both take off at the starting gate at the same time heading in opposite directions. They both take off at unknown velocities, but the velocity of both slow down at unknown and different rates which are proportional to the changing coefficient of elasticity of the rope between them. At some point, the coefficient of elasticity becomes zero and the armadillo and turtle are simply engaged in a tug of war (being of equal weight). Not good. For your dick. Unless we stop the race.
When we stop the race (take a deecon break, or employ a macro-R phase in IPR training terminology), the armadillo slows down slowly (therefore covering more track until completely stopped) and the turtle slows down quickly (therefore covering less track until completely stopped), but both rates of slowing are unknown. So the trick becomes to analyze the changes in the position of the two racers as a function of time. But it gets trickier. The turtle is invisible. So we can’t directly observe it’s position. But because the turtle is attached to the armadillo by the elastic rope, and because the elasticity of the rope is a function of both the position of the armadillo and the turtle, and because we can see the position of the armadillo, we can infer the position of the turtle. But, really, the position of the turtle is unimportant…what is important is the effect that the position of the turtle has on the position of the armadillo. And that we can measure (yes ps we can) by measuring the changes in the length of the rope relative to the starting line as the race proceeds through periods of cycles of racing and stopping. It then becomes a simple matter of iterating through various frequencies and durations of racing and stopping to converge on the optimum values for each for the purpose of lengthening the rope AS A FUNCTION OF TIME. It took me many iterations of varying training frequency, magnitude and duration to find convergence on the training protocol that I recommend.
There are some nuances relating to the rope that have bearing on the initial velocity of the armadillo (the initial work of a training cycle) and therefore on the initial velocity of the turtle (the initial conditioning condition) as well, but more important is an understanding that in my data the rate of change of elasticity (conditioning rate) was relatively insensitive to the magnitude of initial work. But you do need to make sure that your armadillo (initial work volume) is up to the task of pulling out of the gates against the turtle (initial conditioning state). What did matter with respect to the rate of change of the rope (dick) was the rate of change of work. That’s where the work multiplier coefficient (of 1.1) comes in. That multiplier only has meaning in the context of the specific training IPR training protocol that I’ve recommended. And I definitely don’t recommend any other training protocol…I tried several different training frequencies, magnitudes and durations and have recommended only what both the data converged on as what should work best AND what actually did work best. But you all do what you want to.
I’m just trying to help you silly monkeys get your armadillos further around the track.
I can’t help it if you’re too silly to be helped.
There’s only so much sharing that I’m capable of.
Don’t be a silly monkey, be a smart one. Try the protocol.
