    ​@@FixedWing82 I don't think it's as dumb as you think it is. Upon closer inspection there is something almost *seemingly* paradoxical about it, sort of akin to Zeno's paradox. The rate of growth is so slow and gradual that you never notice it getting bigger or getting heavier, and all the tiny increments of growth should be easily handled by small increments in strength to match, such that you slowly and gradually adjust in parallel... yet despite this illusion of no change, and despite the parallel adaptations of your own body, over a period of time the calf becomes huge and too heavy to even lift. If that's retarded then Zeno's paradox is retarded. Or maybe it just went over your head.

    I used the constant method in Running. I started at 20 minutes every other day. At first it was hard and i was completely destroyed at the end of a sessions (yes i was that unfit) but after a month or so it was like a walk in the park. I then moved up to 40 minutes. Again this at first was very hard but after a few weeks was easy. Up and up until i've reached my limited at 1.5 hours every day. At the end of a session i'm still tired but can still go to work etc. I've tried to do more but i just can't. I've reached my peak and even if i take a week off i can be back at that limited fairly easily. and old video but just wanted to tell my story.

    @@MrBottlecapBill Well that's a little more a nuanced question than simply yes or no. If I am doing something for mankind than yes I "work for free." But it's not for free, it's essentially to advance my kind which is ultimately a massive payoff to myself, and moreso my kind, my legacy, and my offspring. Examples off this would my contributions to OC (OpenCast LLC) and DD (I can provide materials on such at request! All my hard work, programming, etc. All done for free.) However, when it comes to sheer physical labor, of course I do not work for free. That is not something, whether released or not, will greatly disadvantage/advantage mankind. It is instead however a pool of labor from which sacrifice towards/pull from, and we need a system of equality in relation to it to ensure we contribute/pull fairly to our kind's balance in labors, reception of those labor's subject.

    I’ve made more strength gains in 4 weeks of Pavel’s method than in 6 months of ‘harder’ training. The main thing has been full body sessions, doing half as many reps as I could with a weight, in a rep range of 2 to 4 reps, with very long rest periods between the same exercise. I currently do 3 reps of weighted pull ups. Rest 2 minutes 3 reps of Zercher squats. Rest 2 minutes 3 reps of Barbell bench press. Rest 2 minutes 3 reps of Bent over row. Rest 2 minutes. 3 reps of Single arm dumbbell overhead press, 1 minute between each arm. 6 seconds Suitcase hold with a fat grip on a dumbbell. 1 minute between each arm. Rest 1 more minute Then repeat for 6 to 8 rounds of this. As Pavel says, stop the session when performance starts to decreases. I’ve been doing this every other day. It’s not exactly Pavel’s way - he says to train almost every day to grease the groove. Work at the moment means I can only do every other day

That is why this advice should be taken with a grain of salt if you are working a muscle group less frequently.

    Anyone else get this feeling like he's about to just sum the whole thing up and simply explain it the whole time but he just never does, and keeps going on deeper and deeper tangents that never seem to loop back to what he started talking about? I'm still waiting for him to finish explaining "variable load training," but the video is almost over, hahaha.

    Rich ex Piano used to do this chaotic method. He liked to surprise the body by sudden switches of exercises, drugs, or do them hungry, or wake up in the middle of the night and do reps, once he even died but the body didn't recover from that.

    George Foreman used to carry a big calf in his second comeback, when he was called Big George. Actually used to train similar to that way I was starting with a weight I could take 8 reps with, then do 2 more reps until I was at 20. Then start over with a heavier load.

    Does the the reps apply to calisthenics. Ive start to incorporate new exercises such as doing dips with gymnastic rings at the park, negative muscle ups. I could do roughly 6 pulls up and 12 dips straight on a regular bar . Since ive taken on the rings I could have barely do one but now i can do about 4-3, it would be that im right where im supposed to be. this video is very informative, thank you.

    I actually apply the same principles in weightlifting. Not gonna lie it does work sinply because your mind is trained to perform in a manner that allows your body to get used to the movements and executions required to lift heavy weights. I transitioned from having problems lifting 40kg clean and jerks and now progressing to upper 75 kg weights.
