Rest Days Or No Rest Days

Hi guys,

I’ve seen some people gain a lot with no rest days (length). And a lot wíth rest days.

Seen as PE is still a mystery in many ways, I thought this poll would be a cool way to get some insight from the gainers under us.

This is about length only.

Thank you

You have to get rest. If you don’t your body will ensure you do.

You absolutely need days off, like workout at the gym.

I believe I’ve gained more than an inch overall (I haven’t kept very good records of my measurements) but I can’t definitively say whether these have come along with periods of more or less intensity. I’ve never had a routine that didn’t have a rest day at some point even if it was after three days of exercises, but I do feel like the periods with more rest days have been my better periods for gains.

Everybody’s body responds differently, and I would let your PIs be your guide, but certainly err on the side of more rest days and more attention to recuperation, rest, and facilitating proper tissue healing.

I have come to believe that every body responds differently to different approaches. Of course there is a guideline to what seems to work for the most people, but there are many exceptions I have noticed..

Anyway, the goal of this is more for the common science of PE (and curiosity).

My schedule is 5/2 but life has a way of inserting rest days on its own schedule. I just adapt to it.

Rest from what, specifically? Because I think it makes all the difference. I’m a newb, so I’m going to structure my PE length increase the same way I structured my martial arts stretching training to enable me to do full box splits. Does it translate? That’s what I aim to find out.

So, to convert to PE and a traction device, passive stretching, easy, no tension (no golgi tension regulation) ususlly at up to 85 - 90% of PB stretch, as long as there’s no tension what so ever, then the longer the better (if it translates from doing the splits, which I think it will as using my penis stretcher feels like I’m in my box splits (real) leg stretcher. Hence my personal theory, but of course it may not translate but I don’t know why it wouldn’t as the following method works on all muscle, tendons and to a lesser extent ligaments.

Aiming for new Pbs and especially if you are an intermediate or advanced then increase the time between pb attempts or tension hold sessions which use use the golgi tension apparatus to reset stretch tension. It’s a natural human tendency to do more in training as you advance, which you should, but that should be more intensity not duration. Once the growth process has been fired, by hitting your PB for example then stop and rest for at least 48 hrs before you try to beat any personal records.

Active static penis stretches are when you try to lift your penis up using the penis muscle (so technical haha) even push down lightly with your fingers on your penis against the ’ penis nodder muscle’ 🤣 and resist against that LIGHT resistance for 30 - 60 secs while you simultaneously massage the tendon at the base of the penis with your other hand, pushing down towards your scrotum. Repeat up to 5 times per set and then relax, and see if you can slightly increase the stretch until tension occurs then repeat 3 sets of 5 holds.

Remember, if you have plateaued for more than a month, rest from PE entirely, apart from passive stretches, for 1 week.

Well this is what this PE one month newb will be doing , but what do I know?

Personally I like this kind of thinking, but what is a PB stretch?

Peanut Butter stretch.

I have been at it for 2 years to the day today. I have only gained 0.5” (actually just a shade under) so I can’t vote in your poll, but I would like to comment anyway.

I am not sure from a growth point of view what is best (although I suspect rest days are best), but from an erection quality point of view, I have found that rest days are an absolute must for me if I want to have 10/10 erections. I, like you, have a tendency to want to do PE every day but have found that if I want my size to be maximized for sex, then rest days are required. To be my maximum size for sex, I must be at my maximum for erection quality. To be at my best for erection quality, some rest days are needed.

Just my personal experience.

I think your poll ranges are too broad. There are many who have gains < 1”. That is, unless you are targeting that smaller population specifically.

Sorry guys, PB for Personal Best.

It’s a theory of mine that peanut butter is good on anything, so it may well be good for PE. I’d start of with smooth though and leave crunchy to the PE vets.

Same here.

Without 2 rest days /week I am got gaining shit.

Things are changing when I am taking 2 days off/week and my holy grail frequency is:

3on/1off 2on/1off and after 3 cycles of this I am taking 2 rest days in a row and I continue the same.

Life allows me 5 on/2 off. I treat PE like others treat P90X. I’m hanging by 4:30 AM and in my ADS by 6:45 AM. Then it’s on with my day.
