Logic of PE Scheduling

I’d like to hear some thoughts on the logic of scheduling PE

I’ve heard a lot about different schedules:

1 on 1 off
2 on 1 off
5 on 2 off

Lets take a 100 day training period:

1 on 1 off would yield 50 sessions
2 on 1 off would yield 66 sessions
5 on 1 off would yield 71 sessions

I would imagine that more sessions means more stimulus. And that if one was able to keep up with recovery between back to back sessions, more progress might happen.

I understand that rest is critically important, that we should ‘ride the waves of slight trauma and recovery’ all the way to Gainsville.

Is there any benefit to doing “double damage”? (not letting the penis recover the following day, and hitting another session when recovery is at 75% or so, basically anything other than a 1 on 1 off schedule?)

Interesting points and questions brought up. I’m not smart enough to answer this so hopefully someone who is capable comes along.

Honestly, I’ve heard arguments to the benefit of 5 days on and one day off more than once. The main problem with that remains that tissue does not operate mechanically and that damage is not proportional per day, it is both cumulative and some sort of multiplicative.

Cellss regenerated per day for a particular area of injury by the volume or area of the injured tissue is going to be similar per day. Damage per day simply doesn’t stack at a base cumulative rate the same per day of same damage. The same routine done 2 days 2 off is not going to have the same pattern as that routine done 1 day 1 off. Damage to preweakened tissue simply doesn’t follow basic mathematics and playing a predictable schedule affords you more control over known patterns of damage and recovery that you know your body (penis) is capable of.

Test the schedule that you would like to try, that is the best I can offer. I tend to play it safe more often than not because predictable and slow for me has been more important than unpredictable and maybe fast. Experiment, though. What works for me may not work for you the same. Perhaps the benefit you are asking about regarding have heavier routines will be real for you.

More isn’t better. Pe doesn’t work like that. I do 1 on 1 off and if I did consecutive days I would be overtraining. Everybody is different but your schedule should follow your PIs.

When I was in college, in a physics lab with three partners, we were wiring a circuit and the other kids started theoreticalizing different wiring scenarios. I remember sitting there listening and wondering why they were ponderizing something this inane, splurging their intellectual capital on what-if scenarios, but they kept theorizing and wondering. What-if… What-if… What-if… They argued, theorized, and eventually called over the teacher’s assistant, a grad student, and started what-if’ing him with different theories, what if we did it this way, what if we did it that way. Not one of them touched the circuit, mind you. It was all theory.

I got frustrated with the inaction. So I jacked the wires into one scenario while they were flapping their gums what-if’ing themselves. I pressed the button. There! I said. It does ~that~ when you wire this way. I rewired it. I pushed the button. They watched. There! I said. It does ~this~ when you wire it that way.

Stop flapping your gums! Push the button and quit what-if’ing!

It was the first time in my life I had been what-if’d to death. I still tell people at work (I’m an engineer) to put together a few quick ideas, try them and report back the results. Don’t spend all your time what-if’ing. Do a little research. Get to work. Get results. Analyze, modify and repeat. Don’t spend an hour what-if’ing me with theories. Collect some data so we can make intelligent decisions.

So do this:

Week 1-2: 1 on 1 off
Week 3-4: 2 on 1 off
Week 5-6: 5 on 2 off

Badabing!

See what happens. I personally have tried all sorts of schedules, both with PE and with three decades in the gym and with all sorts of other physical fitness routines, writing routines, work, relationships you name it. No single routine and no single schedule works forever. In fact, routines need to be modified regularly.

But if you get to work like this, you’ll be able to figure out a good routine for your body within a few weeks. This is a long-term project, so just start with something, get results, analyze the results and modify accordingly. Your body is different than anyone else’s, so you have to collect this data for yourself using your routine and your own meat. Every other dataset is just theory, and will not apply to you.

Saul,

I will remember this post forever. You played a chord in my thoughts.

Thats the big question: Is there benefit to attacking pre-weakened tissue? We need some PhDs to commit thesis suicide for the good of penis pullers everywhere.

I’m of the same persuasion right now. I started off with 2 on 1 off but have switched to 1 on 1 off. I like to be ‘fully recovered’ and ready for a strong session. But damn its tempting to hit it again. Its like FOMO for PE.

For ME attacking preweakened tissues means no gains. I have to be recovered to do another workout and gain. It shows in my log. Most of the time even though I do a 1 on 1 off schedule my gains always come during the times where I had to take 2 to 3 days of rest to recover my positive PIs. Some people can actually do 5 days on. I can’t because after 1 workout I am slightly sore the next day and my routine is considered “light” compared to most others here. Now I could probably cut my light routine in half and do more days but I can almost guarantee it wouldn’t make me gain faster than doing it all at once.
