APAD: Pushing the envelope

Meaning:

Pushing any type of boundary.

 

Background:

This phrase comes from the aeronautical industry where the envelope refers to

the safe performance limits of an aircraft - the envelope is the collection of

curves that describe the maximum performance of an aircraft.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

To improve, one has to push the envelop. But there is a catch.

 

In deadlift, for example, one does not train to failure by shooting for a

personal record every day or even every week.

 

Just show up and lift with good form the amount of weight and

the number of reps, exactly as planned. Trust the process and keep the

discipline. The gains come quietly and one would enjoy their training and is

unlikely to get injured.

 

One pushes the envelop but takes care not to break it, and keeps on pushing.

想到了擦边球：））

which I'm really bad at :-)

Do you have a try to push the envelope? :))

Sure. And lots of scars to prove it :-)))

标题上是不是打漏了一个字母e?

"One pushes the envelope but takes care not to break it,

and keeps on pushing." Thanks for the right pushing!

You are right! Thanks and fixed.

Charles Lindbergh, American aviator,,,,,,

WWII, tried to push the envelope of the fighter plane P-38 by Lockheed Martin.

Lindbergh found a way to fly the aircraft in a  fuel saving mode during cruise which was forbidden by the manufacturer risking of burning the engine.

But Lindbergh succeeded in doubling the range of the aircraft without burning the engine.

Part of the history was changed by this improvement. It was the P-38s carried the mission to intercept and shoot down Admiral Yamamoto from their land base. While the Japanses thought Yamamoto's trip was way out of any American fighter's reach.
