What is this accusation of being dogmatic and having a closed mind? You do exactly what I do....stick to your ideas. I stick to mine until they have been refuted or falsified. That hasn't happened here.
I mentioned sprinting because I wanted to show that it is possible to make gains while not recovering. Have you discussed frequency with coaches? Would be interesting.
So what I claim is that re growing as rapidly as possible...drug free...one should avoid the repeated bout effect and retrain every 3rd day. I advocate getting DOMS and retaining that soreness for periods of a month or perhaps 6 weeks.
This isn't an easy method but it is one that should deliver the goods.
What I suggest is controversial because for 40 years I believed, like almost everyone else, that DOMS was something to avoid. l had gentle programs at our gym where we introduced resistance training. Usually the programs
involved one set per muscle group. If you research DOMS you discover that most studies are concerned about reducing the pain state. A few studies showed that DOMS was associated with remodelling or muscular growth.
Since scientists are hardly interested in maximum muscular hypertrophy there are no long term studies involving DOMS or anything else for bodybuilders.
Wrong again. I've change training protocol many times over the years and decades. I've just recently gone to a two day a week routine for the last year. I've experimented with every conceivable routine. Training six days/wk, 3x/wk each bodypart. I've change my diet dramatically in the last few years cutting protein intake by more than half.
You conflate skill with "gains". We are talking gains in muscle mass, not runner faster or throwing farther. Anybody can see this except you. That's why a previous poster who is very familiar with you advise me to not to bother with you. You are the broken record preaching the same thing for decades with zero proof. There is nobody here that isn't sick of that same old tune. Of course you just dismiss everybody as faux experts whereas in fact you, and only you, have proclaimed himself as an expert in muscle hypertrophy.
Nobody needs to refute your ideas. The onus is on you to prove it. Why don't you understand that? You always claim to use scientific reasoning. I might as well say that if you eat cabbage and grass clippings that it will cure cancer and you haven't proved it doesn't. You give an untested theory with the qualification that "it SHOULD deliver the goods." Should? Well, I did deliver the goods. Did something that very, very few people have ever done. No one I know. No one you know. No one anybody reading this knows.
And you are also wrong that the majority of serious lifters/bbers avoid DOMS. Everyone I know over the 48 years of continuous training at various gyms considers DOMS as proof and feedback that they worked the muscle hard and intensely. I continually hear athletes brag about how sore they are from a previous workout.
You seemingly have zero ability for self-reflection. You have credibility with no one here. NO ONE. But instead of looking into yourself you just blame the world for not understanding and appreciating your genius.
And you will take this to your grave and no one will care.
