Question about Gains.

I dunno, I guess some people are different. Maybe he stopped from doing a much more advanced routine? Just stopped abruptly? I dunno. I still feel bad for him though. I hear he’s working hard to get the gains back though, and he seems to be doing well.

That’s nice to hear Rayne.

Permanency after stopping varies. Some, take for example lil12big1 who recently returned, held his gains well despite years of no PE. Others who have stopped have lost more. If I’m remembering correctly, Jelktoid’s hanging gains regressed considerably unless he continued hanging. Wadzilla held on to his progress for quite some time, but then noticed a loss. Many other reports have been made here. Personally, I’ve lost somewhere around 3/8” in length from taking several years off.

How much maintenance is required to maintain what you’ve gained isn’t known, though that surely varies too. Had I done even a minimal manual routine a couple times a week, maybe I wouldn’t have lost anything. It’s an area of PE ripe for study.

I guess it goes to show that it’s a good thing to get addicted to :)

Well, without it interfering with your life or anything :o
