if I want to basically do my V2 max workouts I go I go a little bit Progressive I would normally say that's a good that's a good thing to do
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
there's a sweet spot there more or less where basically any power that sits between let's say uh V2 steady state and and a higher um let's say a higher power number will elicit V2 Max it's just the amount of duration that is needed in order to get there
I will typically start out at a very conservative power where at the very end I am not dead but by The End by the last one I might be doing 10% more power than on the first set and I'm absolutely at my limit
we know that for example if you do a view to Max effort and then basically you give an adequate time of rest in between there you are able to go even harder on the next one now even though that was completely to exhaustion on the first one completely
if you go out like where you think that you maybe would be able to sustain throughout the workout you might figure out that you still are able to go a little bit higher at some point it's the opposite but but we one thing that we have done multiple times over the last half decade is is that very often people think that okay when I done A View to Max effort then basically I'm Dum I won't be able to repeat that I need two days of rest or maybe a week of rest or whatever before I can do that that's not true either
that impacts performance as evidenced by the fact that my um output today in these intervals was about 10% lower
