No shit it's taxing on the CNS, when did I ever say it wasn't? You're saying it takes MONTHS to recover. Not the point whether it's taxing, it better be. It's no secret about the drug use either. I happen to agree with him. What was your point? There is still max to be had each week.
I made an extreme example, I said it
can take months, not that it always takes months. If you do a huge world record PR, where you hit a number where even you surprised yourself. It can take a long time to recover, that's the point. A long grinding deadlift for example, it can feel like all life was sucked out of you and you'll need to downcycle for a few months before you even approach similar numbers again.
It's like these all time world record deadlifts in the superheavyweight class. There is a reason the record was stagnant for 30 years and that new records aren't falling every other week. Sometimes a lifter may only have one or two of these efforts in him in his whole life.
backday has a world record deadlift. Maybe he can tell us how many times he was within 10lbs of that number in his life.
