Changing the Newbie Routine

Hello , I´m back on the newbie routine after another break.. due to school. I´m on the third week now , I was wondering if I could change the regular 2 days on 1 off routine to a 5 on 2 off . This way i would have the weekend free and it would great . Thank you.

Sure, go for it. Take it a little easy the first week though, give your dick a chance to adapt to five straight days of exercise. Glad to see you back!!

Thank you for the welcome and the quick reply. I always loved this forum and PE . But sadly never had a computer with internet of my own , not even time for that matter.. . I hope this time is for good .

I’d say that wouldn’t be good. It is so much better doing 2 on one off. At least for me this is true. Maybe with a certain amount of conditioning it’s OK. But I’ve been going at this for 7 months straight. And I’ve come to the conclusion that 2 on one off is the best. I tried 5 on 2 off, didn’t see any significant growth. Not until I started resting more did I see growth.

This being the important point.

Everyone is different and responds to different schedules and exercises. IMO it’s impossible to give a definative answer but requires trial and error by each individual.

Edit: Damn, T beat me to it :p

Read the PI thread link in my signature. Your body will tell you which way is best. All you have to do is listen. And I mean that figuratively, because if you go around trying to physically listen to your body you may get strange looks. Don’t ask how I know that.

It’s best not to base your routine on convenience. I know that’s easier said than done, but sometimes the easiest way isn’t always the best way.

Thank you guys . Well I kinda agree with you deadeye3200 . It´s not easy to decide because all the gains I had up to now , ( 3 cm ) I got them by doing the newbie routine and the 2 off 1 off. So as people say ” you never change a wining team ” . In the other hand however , I could really use the weekend off , It´s not just convenience , I´m away all day long , and the last thing I want to do when i come home tired , is to do PE .

That sounds like convenience to me. I am gone from my house from 5 am until 7 or 7:30 pm. It’s the last thing I feel like doing is PE, but the desire to have a better sex life with my wife over rides that. If 2on 1off is working for you don’t change it.

If it gets down to a choice between convenience with a less than optimal schedule and an inconvenient routine that causes you to quit, go with the convenience.

Wise words, Thunder. I guess my (sometimes over) enthusiasm for this makes me a little less rational. Plus my marine/police instructor father pounding into my head the “Do it even if you don’t like it” attitude….lol. But, as usual, Thunder gives very sound advice.
