I used the word âreconâ but I donât think thatâs the right word since what happens on ZP is not the same experience I would get on Qv2. On Qv2 it was real recon, your mind struggling with the scripting or trying to fight off these parts of it that were too much to handle. Your reaction was usually anger or sadness or both. On ZP itâs more about what Saint mentioned; that is overexposure and your mind getting temporarily âcontractedâ and pushing you into some kind of temporary âregressionâ. It stems from being overloaded. The same thing happens to your muscles when you go to the gym and work out way too hard. Your muscles get contracted and you can notice regression. I experienced it on Mogul and now on Emperor and DR. The first weeks were a really smooth sail then it started happening. Why? I think the current recommendation is more than we can handle (depending on the programs) and thatâs why so many people started looking for their own pattern reducing the recommended exposure to one loop a week or the listening time to 7, 5, or even 3 minutes per sub.
Whatâs the solution? Observation, observation, observation, and choosing our exposure accordingly but NEVER beyond the current recommendations.
edit:
The main problem I see here is that a lot of us donât want to listen to Saint, SC recommendations and their âbody and mindâ and try to force their way forward no matter what. Another one is that a lot of us still cannot believe that one can get overexposed listening to their stack 30 minutes every other day only.
Once youâve got overexposed you need to take a longer break and get back to your routine slowly. Itâs just like getting severly overtrained at the gym. You cannot keep going with your routine since you can easily get injured, you need proper rest.
The thing is a lot of people get âinjuredâ listening to ZP just because they think they know better and theyâre blind to the signs their âbody and mindâ are sending them.
