    I'm about to start an accumulation/intensification cycle, but I wanted your thoughts on when to end the accumulation phase. Some internet gurus say you should switch to intensification when progress stops. Others say the weight you can use should drop by up to 10% before you intensify, which is supposed to cause a greater rebound.
    When do you think is the best time to end the accumulation phase?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I am one of those internet gurus that does not really know what you're talking about. Perhaps I am terminologically challenged.

    I guess I should have looked at PPST first. The term you use for accumulation in your advanced pyramid model is "loading". The term you use for intensification is "peaking". Of course, reading further, you answer my question on p. 212.
    You must be a paperbound guru as well as an internet guru.
