From my experience, I went from mid D5 to low-mid D7 in one year after I adopted the 'mashing hard songs with the goal of building stamina/speed and reading capability' training regimen. It is possible to do incorrectly though, if you don't know what to look out for.

You could have pushed yourself too hard, or your body might not have been able to handle that type of training. Either way, I've coached several players using this training regimen and the three that stuck with it long enough to see results, said they did in fact gain from it (Blackskull being one of the three).

If anything, it's worth a try, but be careful.
