Early Update
So, 5 days and 3 sessions down. Promising results so far. At this point, I am in the camp: newbies make gains, this can’t be ignored. Ideally, years of total decon allow us to emulate the newbie phase. IR lamps are at least better than nothing. So far, appears so.
Highlights:
I’ve averaged a monstrous 4.5% strain (and even with a preBPSFL * 0.6% correction to account for the conditioning stretch period, still averaged 3.9%).
I’ve broken my all time strain record twice in the last 5 days even with the conditioning correction.
None of these workouts have been longer than 8 minutes of working time (other than the first 20 minute one, which I consider a mulligan for a variety of reasons).
I am quite inspired by these early sessions, but I must temper myself as far as expectations. This could just be pulling out the slack in my pelvic floor, or maybe these are returning gains lost from my previous campaign, maybe I’m still measuring wrong - I can’t be sure yet, far too early.
Why do the newbies get to have all the gains?
As a favor, I ask that you share your favorites.
