I gate ERP moves through BBB OAS confirmation — if implied drops 50 bps and OAS is flat, I only pass 15–20 bps to WACC and drip the rest over two quarters; on publics I scale TE by ERP/OAS, so that setup trims TE about 10%. “Caveat: if factor breadth is widening, I ease off the throttle rather than hit the brakes.” Agree — then I freeze the drip and let TE ride until breadth cools.
On days I want the ‘original’ feel, I do 6–8 x 20s all-out/10s easy on an air bike with a loud timer and only add rounds when the last sprint is as hard as the first — like a microwave for your lungs. @jfitman57 is right about the bike; if you can’t truly sprint yet, start with 30/30s or an EMOM to build consistency.
