The huge issue with ramp rates is folks get into the mentality that if you take some time off during a macro or mesocycle. Thing is, you HAVE to in order for the body to adapt and realize gains.

Easiest way to understand that is to imagine a person who rides 6 days a week nonstop for like 3 months never going below 90% of their weekly TSS. That's IMO the wrong way to do it.

It's not a straight line between starting CTL and goal CTL. It should have a few peaks and valleys as it increases over time. The valleys being larger rest periods, in other words a week with perhaps 50% your weekly TSS.
