not really, at lower listening duration you’d be getting more benefits if you aren’t ready for longer loops. Nothing to be patient about in my opinion
I ran lots of subs like Emperor, HOM, ASBR, EOG in the past with either full loops, or loops that are 5+ min and honestly barely made any considerable progress, just because I’d be drowning in recon (sometimes without noticing it) and wouldn’t have the energy to take action (because a lot of processing of info that I couldn’t integrate would waste a lot of my energy). I did have SOME results but they weren’t really life changing.
Now with 30-60s of AM and 3 min of RICH (built up from 30s) I’m getting more results and growing faster than with the subs above - just because I wasn’t ready to the concepts in them.
Maybe I’d be able to progress with those advanced subs too if I started with like 3-5s loops and would be doing 1s increases like Viktor but who knows. I might try this strategy with Stark Black next cycle, maybe it would work.
