Great points mi amico

In addition, it’s important to note that a single episode of sub-max stimuli can, on the whole (due to the systemic environment), equate to a max stimuli when coupled with other stimuli (ergo Charlie’s glass of water/CNS capacity analogy)

This leads us to the response end of things because the degree to which CNS capacity is taxed per unit of time is proportional (to what precise degree I’m not sure) to response

I never remember Charlie ever saying that two or more submax stimuli equated to a max stimuli in terms of adaption. Quite the opposite, as his aversion to intensive tempo attests. While he did say, and I would absolutely agree it does equate in terms of accumulated fatigue and the need for recovery, you can’t get what equates to a 100% max effort stimulus using multiple sub-max stimulus, especially if we’re equating sub-max to be <85%…I believe that goes for sprinting or weights.
