I think you are misunderstanding what Kane is saying and what I am agreeing too. Which is of course understandable being that is sounds like this random absolute statement. He is making a lot of assumptions such as some of that you mentioned above. When he says "heavy" he means heavy relative to your maximum ability.

He is assuming people know to keep track of what they are doing. Nothing wrong with pointing out some of this I am just saying there is not that much disagreement here. We are just speaking of a more practical and realistic definition of "intensity" rather than "how you feel" or how much you are sweating or screaming. I.E. intensity as a percentage of 1RM.

I would point out that achieving a "pump" is not a prerequisite for growth. I would also point out that the amount of rest time it takes to recover is up to the individual and that at any one time all muscle fuel systems are coming into play to some extent or another but one is dominant.

The amount of rest you take has a lot to do with what you are trying to achieve. *Edit* I know Dave touched on this above.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
