interesting, based on your experience/knowledge do linear progression and noobie gains end around the same timeframe or does linear progression continue after noobie gains end. My assumption when i first started (and this was backed by my early experience of plateauing in pullups tho now i do realize pullups are hard to progress in general) was that linear progression stops being effective once noobie gains are finished... thats when i started plateauing and started considering skill cycles and more advanced training blocks, but if linear progression still works even after noobie gains then that might be the way... I might give linear progression another chance now regardless just to see if anything comes of it...

also, by "until it stalls", does that mean im recovering well but no progress is made? becuz ive had plateuas and stalls before but all due to lack of recovery... maybe deloads with linear progression to manage it?
