Those elusive gains

And the retired >2” brethren get what, a panama hat, boatdrinks and overboard pissing contests hosted by locally recruited cheerleaders.

Actually they get the bottom of a two horse costume so that everything looks right when they see the cheerleaders.

Gotcha. Still, that amounts to a 1/4” gain in a month (with a 3 1/2-week vacation, too boot). Maybe my own break wasn’t long enough (only about 12 days, I think). Maybe I need to try 3-4 weeks.

hmmmm…..

Wad, if you’re going to rest try a full month. Shorter breaks haven’t had the same effect for me. I wonder how much time is optimum. Is 6 weeks enough better than 4 to be worth the extra downtime? Same for longer periods. I don’t know. Maybe eventually I’ll be able to take longer periods off and compare the results.

Are you referring to Sponge Bob or to homo erectus man?

I went on a 6 week break from thankgiving day, until the middle of january. I am only a month back into pe. I was looking at myself in the mirror today. I think I may be making gains again, but I am afraid to measure. I will wait a month or so and then measure. :) Besides I seem to have misplaced my tape measure.

Thanks for the advice.
