I don't understand exactly. Are you saying that subject one is basically doing the same thing over and over with no sort of progressive overload? And subject two is increasing load? Like 0311 said, diminished returns, and even if stimulus is increased in some way while maintaing load you still get diminished returns over time, in terms of growth.

There are so many many factors that will determine who will grow the most. The type of hypertrophy. Whether the strength gains of subject two are largely neural in nature, etc. But just with what you've presented subject two has the best chance for growth. You need some type of progression. Otherwise there is no new adaptation. Subject one will just be maintaining strength and in order to get any kind of new growth he will have to increase reps, sets, decrease time, slow down the reps maybe (limited impact)...something.

If someone does the same thing for a month and SEEMS to continue growing it is not because of the workout it is because of residual growth from the increased recovery. I call it rebound growth.

Honestly, there are is no way to really know. You can't just some everything up in a general way because it comes down to individual trainees and their status. BUT in general, you want to keep growing you need to increase the load at some point. As far as the growth rate it comes down to progress and grow and worrying about rate of growth is a completely pointless endeavor, imo.

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