Dusty's experience is very interesting and seems to support the notion that cooling down assists growth.

Dusty, correct me if I'm wrong -
In 17 months, using no cool down, he gained 1.125" EL - Avg gain of .066" month
In 13 months, (14 minus the month he was off) using a cool down, he gained 1.625" EL - Avg gain of .125" month

What really gives this more weight is the fact that for the most part gains should have slowed for him. Most guys will have their greatest gains in the first year. It's really unusual for gains to increase after that period of time.
