Hi all,
I have noticed a few threads about being difficult to reach. I'm a few days behind on emails.
TLDR: We're in the midst of a very big upgrade to all of the programs to allow for increased individualization. We're expanding very very fast; I'm building a data collection and analytics module for all aspects of your fitness and training. I have a degree in Mathematics and I've been a Games Athlete / gym owner, so I guess my two worlds of Athlete and Mathlete are finally merging into one. I know it sucks and I take responsibility for the delays. I'm getting through it as fast as I can. I'm on 5 hours of sleep a night and will continue as long as necessary to get caught up.
Some more detail:
I've re-designed all of the programs to be industry leaders in data collection and analytics to allow for personalization. Many of you who are using YoE have seen YoE 2.0. YoE 2.0 includes the ability to
The Applied Power framework now calculates
The Skills blocks collect your information from intake and apportion your off the clock work based on motor learning principles to different groups: Progressions, Low Volume Reinforcement, High Volume Reinforcement, and Contextual interference. We can also track the number of reps you did of each skill, whether you did sets unbroken, and so on. After testing, we can relate your practice to your results and adjust on the fly.
We're upgrading the MetCon blocks to interact with the skills block. For example, are you breaking Double Unders in MetCons but not in skills? Can you do a set of 10 Ring MU in practice but break up sets of 5 in a MetCon? We will be able to answer this question and others.
In conclusion: I've built and put into service massive upgrades that allow for data collection beyond what is currently available in most programs. As of now:
YoE 2.0 - active
AP 2.0 - active
Dominate / Competitor 2.0 - already includes the AP 2.0 modules and YoE calculations, though not the full YoE analytics suite. Skills Block goes in today and will include:
A few other things:
Reddit Bans: I have no idea. I am told it is for violations of the Content Policy. My last account had two posts, only in here, so I am not sure what is wrong, and Reddit admins won't tell me. I never posted anywhere else with a "Gains Lab"- named account, so I have no idea, and I've made peace with being a smaller presence on Reddit. If they get this squared away, I'll come back and post more. All of my accounts that I used in this forum have TheGainsLab in the name, so it's not exactly hard to know if it's me. I do this to avoid "you're a shill bro" - yes, I am a shill for the things I create. (I have other accounts for talking about other topics on other forums).
Other stuff: Nothing is "wrong", "fishy", "shady" or "suspicious" on my end. The business is expanding and I am wearing two hats during the upgrades. I may have miscalculated the time required to get there. But I believe it will be worth it, and I accept all responsbility for the delays.
Back to work I go.

- log your score and calculate your pace, then view results graphically
- track your score across day types, weeks and months
- analyze your results to gain insights into your physiological capabilties.
The Applied Power framework now calculates
- Key ratios among your lifts to identify imbalances and inform technical work
- Strength to weight ratios, goals and percentage of goal achieved
- Total intensity based on user-entered RPE
- % of the program completed and aggregate fatigue loading
