Modify your routine daily for best results vs. stick to what's working(no change)

We all know that there is no Holy Grail PE routine. Some things just work differently for different people. However, I wonder if there is-as a general rule-a best way to do a routine. I have seen some talk about this on Thundersplace, but never a poll.

A lot of guys say that one has to change something constantly in their routine to constantly grow and keep from hitting a plateau. I can understand the logic in this because it works a lot like the fitness program I am on called P90x. P90x is not only popular, its extremely effective . Besides proper nutrition, one of the keys to its success is muscle confusion.

The routine is different everyday so the body and muscles never get use to anything and are constantly shocked thus forcing the body to shed fat and grow lean muscle mass. I wonder if PE may best work the same way.

From your experience:

Is this the best way to practice PE?

How often should the routine be modified (everyday, every other day, every week, monthly)?

If you do think that this is the best way PLEASE post what ways you would recommend changing one’s routine for best results ie. intensity, reps, duration, angles, A.M or P.M., length and girth on different days, incorporating new exercises, changing rest days or the number or rest days etc. etc.

Also include what you think should remain constant ie. always jelq, always Fowfer, always Kegel etc. etc.

From your experience:

Is it better to go steady with a routine that is producing gains no matter how long it is taking? Please explain why you feel this way and include any tips on creating a good routine.

How long should someone wait after seeing no gains before changing a routine or taking a break?

*I do understand that newbies should stick to a consistent and light routine that will prevent injury and condition their units.

*I know that Everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. I am only looking for a general idea.

*I also know that PE is a marathon and not a sprint. I just want to see what has been effective for most.

modify imo

keep your penis guessing

worked for me

From a practical point of view, changing frequently the routine may be a waste of time. There are chances that some routines that you are trying won’t work for you at all.

Better stick to what works and change it only when it doesn’t produce gains any more!

Se7enx, that is the way I was leaning towards too.

Cervixhunter(love the name by the way) brought up an interesting point that I hadn’t really thought of. Some things may not work at all.

I wasn’t planning on one day doing manual exercises and the next day doing hanging and then the next day pumping. I meant something much less drastic when I said “modify a routine.”

Hope that clears a few things up.

I want to hear from lots more men on here.

I say that as long as it’s working, keep doing it.

In the past I’ve had something which was working and then figured I would change it to make it “better” and it promptly stopped working. Now I like to milk every gain possible out of a routine before I change it up.

I’ll usually focus primarily on either girth or length, start really easily and increase the intensity of the routine gradually (and/or change techniques) until I start noticing gains, then continue like that (or even back off a bit) until they plateau at which point I start adding in low intensity work on the other dimension (length or girth), while doing some light maintenance on the previous while I slowly increase the intensity, and so on. Slowly phase out the old routine while phasing in the new one.

It works for me. Since I started working this way I’ve had fairly consistent gains and no downtime due to injuries or plateaus. There may be a better way, but as long as I continue to get results I’m happy to keep on the way I’ve been going.

I think constantly changing up routine is good for muscle building but since the penis is only part muscle that wouldn’t make sense. Staying with what works is the better way because a lot of the vets stuck to a routine until it stop producing results and many of them have great gains throughout their years of PE.

If ain’t broken..yes. But also, you’ll never get a clue of what is working and what is not, and why, if you change your routine too frequently.

I think some people would like to believe that changing frequently is better, because it avoids boredom, not because they really believe it is better for gains. :)

Interesting points. I am starting to lean more towards the ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broken approach.’

I guess because PE takes so much time it is rather easy to become impatient and want to change things. That is coming from a pretty fast gainer too.

Hard to say, I currently am doing my routine until it no longer does anything for me, but on the other side look at Tony Horton and what hes done with fitness, his P90X program is based entirely on “muscle confusion” so your body doesnt get used to routine and expect what is going to be done. If you keep changing things up, it keep the stress up on the tissue, which builds muscle.

So who knows, the same might work for PE.

Good point, I’ve fell upon that too.

Did you read the thread or is your mentioning of Tony Horton just coincidence?

Haha, wow how did I miss that? I read the title and the first line of your post and then replied, total coincidence, I also have the P90X program, thats why I mentioned it.

That is freakish. Haha. I have yet to dedicate myself to P90X, but I can tell it rocks!

The analogy with “muscle confusion” fitness programs does not apply to PE for a simple reason. “Muscle confusion” is actually a misinterpretation of what happens. This it is based on the observation that a constant routine loses efficiency as the brain finds ways to cheat and perform the workout in an “optimised” way, with less muscular effort, which is not what a bodybuilder wants.

What is said to be “muscle confusion” actually happens in the brain, which is left too little time to figure out the “optimised” way to avoid effort.

It is obvious that this mechanism doesn’t apply to PE.

I have a routine, that I change daily and it’s only similarity is jelqing afterwards for 25 mins.

One day it’s hanging, the next pumping, the next ADS the next just jelqing on it’s own etc.

I have only just started so I will let you know how it goes if you would like.
