"Training to Fail: Intensity Cycling" articles part 2 and 3 are not about how to go about "cycling intensity" but are specifically showing how "intensity cycling" doesn't work well, it's theoretical mistakes, etc.. In this case intensity cycling is a specific term referring to the practice of recycling over the same weights by backing off the load on the bar as is the practice in some of the so called intermediate 5x5 aka "Madcows" or the Bill Star Power routine. Or in Starting Strength. This is a practice that is recommended for beginners in particular. The articles are rebutting the practice, not encouraging it.

Modulating intensity is not necessarily the same as "cycling" intensity and it is important not to mix them up because intensity cycling is a very specific term describing one practice.

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