Right now I am no longer taking scheduled days off. Occasionally I may only get an hour and a half, or maybe two hours due to other interests, but I average 4 to 6 hours per day. I will usually do 2 or 3, 2 hour sessions, and jelq with a warm rice sock and small hand held rubber roller for about 5 minutes in between sessions.
For about 3 months I was extending and pumping, but had a noticeable EQ loss, and didn’t see any gains; perhaps I even lost a little. I think I was over doing it, so I started doing 2 on and 1 off for a couple of months, but still no gains.
Now that I am just stretching, and doing it everyday, I am back making modest gains of about 1/4 inch every 3 to 6 months. I know some people do both stretching and pumping, like dtwarren1942, but it didn’t seem to work for me. dtwarren1942 is using less tension than I am, and putting in less extender time, so that may have something to do with it. dtwarren1942 is good people, and he can comment on his routine himself if you are interested, he has always been there to help me.
I am planning on doing just pumping this summer because I do a lot of nude recreation, and would like to have a nice social flaccid hang, so I that will be my next experiment. I will probably just do a limited amount of stretching to maintain, and focus on pumping and flaccid hang for a few months. The advice I have got so far for flaccid hang is low hg pumping.
