Tweek13,
I appreciate your insight. I looked over where you saw things falling apart, Understandably too I might add. The idea of the last couple weeks is to test for if over training symptoms will occur over that three week period. What I didn’t specify and apologies for is, that at any point in the last three weeks that over-training becomes apparent than that assessment will have to be made along with adjustments to the program.
With all periodization there is going to be variation. Changes will always have to be made. The true key in any program is the assessment of progress, stagnation, and regression(cause over-training), and adapting to keep in the progress ranges.
If after the three weeks(9-12) I was able to handle 5 days on and 2 off with an hour of jelqing with out signs of over-training and negative PI’s, I would feel confident in moving on as scheduled.
If at any point during this final three week period, or in-fact anytime in this program, I did show signs of over-training and negative PI’s then I would have to re-assess, and adjust my program. Doing this to my best ability from the progress, and data gathered over the last 9 weeks, to allow for progress to continue.
Layman’s terms. The last three weeks are Final preparation and testing to see if I can move on to a higher level. If it shows I can’t then it’s time to go back to the drawing board, and brainstorm what will.
I agree with you that over-training should be avoided at all cost. There for it should be said that this program shouldn’t be done fullheartedly, but scientifically, because it has constant variables that you can track.
Again tweek13, I truly appreciate your input and observations. Especially because I see that you have had great success with PE.
Again I would like to re-state that I really appreciate any questions like this and input. Information is always welcomed! Good or bad. Either way I will be learning. So please continue with your questions comments, and suggestions.
