If you want to gain in PE, you need to do a certain amount of Work per X time, and then recover from the Work, to be able to cycle indefinitely without injury.
Work is a function of:
Frequency of work done, as in how many times per day
Volume of PE done per day, as in how many minutes of jelqing, hanging, etc
Intensity of PE, as in how hard you are jelqing, how much weight are you hanging, etc.
We do Work in order to cause microtrauma in our tunica and force expansion beyond our current state.
The amount of Work needed to stimulate a response varies from person to person.
How we do the Work in regards to the exercises we use is irrelevant, as long as the desired expansion is achieved.
The amount of Work we need to do to create our desired expansion increases over time.
How we adjust the balance of frequency, volume, and intensity, is largely irrelevant, with the following provisos -
Too low intensity an level will do nothing.
Too high an intensity level will result in injury.
The volume, intensity level, and frequency of workouts need to be balanced in such a way the the total Work done is the minimum needed to stimulate an adaption. Hence, while using high intensity, volume will need to be lowered.
Lots of other guys on here can jump all over me now for some of my points here, and they would probably be correct.
But let’s just keep it simple for now, and stick with the basic, have-to-know, information.
There has been such a backlash in the PE community lately, against the high-volume crazy obsessed PE guys that run the risk of exploding their dicks every day. People really are pro- slow and steady, safety first,m PE these days. And that is fine, because you only have one penis and I understand your not wanting to explode it. Problem is, a lot of those crazies were (are) really good gainers. I think Big Girtha is as mad as a hatter when it comes his methods, he’ll be the first to tell you that you probably shouldn’t do what he did. But dammit, the man grew himself a humongous penis, and you can’t argue with that. Don’t even get me started on the guys who hung ALL DAY.
The point is, you need caution, but some people end up being a little TOO cautious. Never forget that what we are doing is FORCING our penis repeatedly into a state that is outside it’s normal parameters.
You have also to remember that as we are forcing our penis to adapt, at the same time, it is doing it’s best to toughen up and resist the forces that caused it trauma in the first place. This is why many people eventually stall out on certain exercises, after a certain amount of time has passed, or gains have been achieved.
SO if you progress too slowly with increasing your Work load over time, your body’s ability to adapt will be faster, and you will not gain.
At a glance, my first instinct is that you are most likely not doing enough Work per week for YOU to stimulate an adaption in your penis. I think you are probably conditioned enough to:
Pick an exercise or documented routine.
Get a notebook journal.
Track your variables of volume, frequency, and intensity.
Increase your Work load by 10% daily, until you have your first morning of negative PI’s. Specifically, morning wood that is not as awesome as you have been seeing it lately.
At that point keep the Work load consistent until positive PI’s return.
You are now ‘Dialed In’.
Increase your Work load slightly but consistently and measurably every Work/Rest cycle you do. A cycle, for now, is 2 on 1 off - until you are comfortable enough with your knowledge of your unit to go on something like an OLF/OLR system.
Good luck to you.
