At what point do you decide to take a day off?

Hey guys, quick question.

Over the past few days, my workouts haven't felt as good, my dick turtled more than usual and wasn't as plump throughout the day. I usually wear a TPE condom for 10 hours per day with no problem but last 2 days I had trouble having it on for more than 30 minutes due to turtling...

I think this is due to increasing my stretch intensity and adding s2s stretches on top of my jelqing and bottle pumping.

- I took 2 days off, worked out yesterday, took today off, planning to do a light workout tomorrow.

That being said, I still have a hard time deciding when to rest or not. Even tho I turtled today and dick wasn't at 100%, I still felt like I could have done some sort of work but decided not to - just in case.

I'm having a hard time judging if I'm making the right call so I'm curious what sort of signs/PI's do you guys look out for when taking a day off.

Thanks

You would be well served by <drum roll> experimenting. It is a combination of you, your workouts, and cosmic forces of unknown origin.
ok, I just put that in for comic relief.
Improved EQ, morning wood, flaccid size, and I used to monitor how easily I could 'warm up' or see how easily malleable things became. Maybe a shyness factor of the penis. If he acted shy, wanted to easily turtle or if he was ready to 'get bigger'.

Make any sense ?

The first 90 days of PE is usually a conditioning period for most people and start off with light exercises so that they can get the feel for things and then gradually increase the intensity and number of reps. As time progresses you start hitting the points of fatigue or limits to what your burrito can handle in a day. That's a good spot to be. If you feel sore after exercising and even the next day then it's good to include an extra rest day in between exercise days for about a week and then try resuming your normal schedule.

I'm sure you noticed in my progress log to where I went from doing side to side stretches 5 days a week to just 3 days a week. I started around at 600 and gradually worked up to 900 and when I got there my body told me that it needed some extra time to catch up so I backed off by adding more rest days (just PE Mon, Wed & Fri). Possibly next week I'll try doing PE Monday, Tuesday, rest Wednesday, PE Thursday, Friday and rest Saturday and Sunday. Once I get to where my body is comfortable with that I'll consider going up to 1000 stretches and will likely have to go back to 3 days a week.

The whole methodology is: 1.) Keep raising the bar until you hit a limit. 2.) Back off a little bit by resting more until your body has adjusted to the new level. 3.) Slowly raise the bar higher until your body indicates you are at your next limit. 4.) Repeat steps 1-3.

Sometimes your body just needs a few extra days to catch up but always error on the safe side. Better to be over cautious than over confident when it comes to matters of the burrito.

Very in-depth answer, thanks my bro.

Many make the mistake of discounting how even something as passive as an ADS type device can have on recovery- especially if an element of the main part of the routine is altered.

That being said, if you're taking 3 days a week off then you should be getting sufficient rest. If this isn't the case, then cutting back on your routine would be in order.
