Hi Scott
you are so long in the business I am sure you have heard about HST Hypertrophy-Specific Training by Bryan Haycock
one of the principles of HST is Strategic Deconditioning (SD) (complete rest for about 10-14 day, once every 2-3 months)
it is somehow similar to Intensive Cruise (lower frequency and Tier) but the idea is (I think) different
SD is about resensitization of muscle cells so they can respond to lower loads again which can be similar to newbie gains again
FT is missing that (again I think) part but we have (and love (!)) IC
do you think we miss something ?
more in new podcast with Bryan (have much respect for him as well)

where even after many years Bryan still thinks SD is a good idea and should be used regularly (every 2-3 months)
thanks for the input
