You overlooked a consideration. What if there was too much damage caused by the training? Like getting blisters or a sunburn, no growth can occur. So we need to see what protocols were used and how much soreness was experienced.
OK, so now it's too much DOMS. A state that you said should be continually maintained. To be always in a state of DOMS to continue growing. So now it's not just DOMS but a certain level of intensity or degree of DOMS? This is something new and never addressed or made reference to before after all these years. How much DOMS is now needed and how do you measure it? And now you are using my examples of the body's adaptation response which you previously rejected.
Why do I have the feeling that if the results supported your beliefs you wouldn't be grasping at straws?
Still waiting on the peer reviewed scientific study you claim you had that supported your DOMS theory. I would have thought you would have that store in a very safe, easily accessed disk or file cabinet.
I have no dog in this fight. Unlike you, I have nothing vested in any theory at all and would just like to know what is the optimal protocol and conditions for muscle hypertrophy. Your bias is obvious, a bias that you accuse others of having. We are all stuck on the same old, same old. But not you. You're all about the objective, dispassionate search for truth.
Until you provide some scientific proof no one will take you seriously. But I'm still rooting for you. If you ever succeed you will exceed the genius and notoriety of Arthur Jones and have a lot of people here and elsewhere eating crow.
