Hi zblack, sorry to hear that the techniques aren’t working for you anymore. How long have you practiced each one? It could be that you needed to stick to each a little longer. From experience, I can say that most techniques will lead to an ld sooner or later, but it is more about finding the one that best suits you and keeping at it. There is no requirement to stick to just one forever though and you can also mix them as you see fit. Again, consistency can go a long way, so even if the extra boost from starting a new tech wears off later, this doesn’t mean the technique can no longer lead to good results.

Also, it’s important to put as much awareness into the practices rather than making them routine, which can potentially lead to those techs failing.
