Girth test 3 days on vs 1 day on 3 off

LL did you do anything during these days of, warmpups, some very light squeezes or perhaps some massage to get new
blood in? Right now I do not feel sore really, just feels different than usual. Can you describe the feeling
throughout the days?

thanks

Day of workout sore/numb, and still sore for the following day which was rest day 1, rest day 2 little bit sore numb, rest day 3 feeling good.
While I would stand in one spot for a any period of time I could just feel the weight of my penis just hanging and it was sore/ numb.

On rest day 3, I would get it hard and edge for ONLY 5 minutes and do regular stretches on workout day, and also rest days 2 and 3 for length.

I would be very concerned if my erections were only 40-50% the next day. That to me would tell me my penis is not liking it. You sure need those rest days if that's happening anyway.

I do 4 on and 3 off and take 2 weeks off every 2 months. I have found for me it works. I like the 3 off because there is no exercise re-tearing; time is necessary for repairs to allow growth to occur. First the tear in the fibers, then the repair to the growth compensation to the continuous tearing which is how growth by exercise works even in body building, except we are not building muscle but gaining more penile fibers due to the tension put on it.

Indeed, down time is very much needed else one will get repair time but no real growth time before tears re-occur due to PE. I don't feel that 2 days off are sufficient for the repair and growth.

Well I have now tried the 1 day on(intense girth) 3 off schedule. But I must say it did not work as
I expected. Since my intense routine my penis has felt tired and smaller, it still feels just a little
bit knocked out. My unit seems to like the 3-4 days on and 3 days of routine, so I will follow
Thenewdude way and see what happens. I thought about this strategy and it seems more logical.

It is the pumping iron schedule which I learned from Gold Gym when I had the book (awesome book for routines, exercise for all muscle groups and strategies for building mass).

I'm on a coaching programme with Big Al and he has got me on a girth-only routine where I do 1 day on, 1 day off.

But maybe the routine is only light.

It's:
20 min warm-up
50 x 5 second Horse Squeezes with Compression
50 x 5 second kegels
Edging for 20 mins
Warm-down

I do this every second day but incrementally add 2% on each set every session.

Can't say if it's working or not as yet but I lost my girth and am back to 5 inches now since doing it (and masturbating less! - use to do about 3 times a day every day - libido was through the roof).

Are you sticking to the routine? Squeezes are a good exercise and can really work girth. Have you been sneaking in extra jelqs?

[RedForever Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close RedForever]

I couldn't resist sneaking extra jelqs etc but it was making reverse progress as I was overtraining. Big Al went nuts when I told him, lol, as I was losing girth.

On your 3rd day it should be back to normal, and if not you went overboard and really beat it up too bad.
You should adjust your intensity and try again once you have intensity level correct and 3 days off you will see gains.
How long did you try this schedule for ?

You are not getting enough rest days !

[thenewdude Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close thenewdude]

I agree. The penile tissues need enough time to heal and slowly add more fibers. A day of rest between I don't think cuts it. That's maybe enough time for some repair which your body does the most while you rest or are sleeping.

It's confusing to know what to do sometimes, with the differing recommendations. It's even more confusing because different methods work for different people too. So in then end we just have to experiment and solve our own dick puzzle At least I know not to take regular rest days from hanging, or I'll be building a super strong but short one.

But girth is different, somehow. I'm just trying to picture it in my head why. There's still stretching of the tunica, but in a different direction, obviously outward instead of longways. And you get the best girth expansion at less than 100% erection. 80% or so. The hardness of the penis, comes from the smooth muscle I believe, so you want to have that smooth muscle expanded but pliable and not hard. When you've got your best girth expansion through exercises, at less then 100% erection, it it still actually somewhat soft. You can press it in a little bit.

Now, what it comes down to I believe, is the actual spongy material in the chambers. The more erectile tissue material there is, the more accomodation there is for the blood to be allowed to fill the chambers. So yes there is some tunica stretching and perhaps some muscle development, but I'm thinking this special spongy material is not like any other tissue, and simply needs more time to regenerate. Doing heavy girth work everyday may be stressing the erectile tissue faster than it can repair. If the rate of stress exceeds the rate of repair, not only will there not be the desired extra small amount of material added each time, but there will be material lost, and hence loss of girth. There might be loss of length too, but, the erectile tissue is able to expand in all directions and girth work only expands the lateral dimension.

Any thoughts?

Thank´s for that, I was doing a girth excercise at 100% of erection.

Okay, have taken 5 days of now, and the really sad part about it, I seem to have lost lots of girth, do
not know it fit was the intense workout, but I do believe if we do it to hard or to much it does effect gains.
Damn, how hard can this be! Sometimes I believe we actually do not grow our penises permanent, but
have to do this on and on and on every days to actually keep it in the right shape, if we stop we go
back fast, or some of us.

Your reason for taking 5 days off were poor PI's ?
How much did you lose ?

First I stopped for 3 days, I did not have the time to do it on the third, on
fourth lady visit And today did not have any crave doing it.

Will start a new schedule tomorrow and run the 4 days on and 3 off instead, I think
it fits me better, if I do not get any good results after 2 month I might consider
stopping PE for good. Done it for 2 years with not that much results only
4.85 to 5.3 girth. Hardly noticeable really.
