A day of rest I don't think is enough, also temp length

Does anyone else feel that if you do a 2 days on 1 day off or for the more advanced 5 days on 2 off, that the 1-2 days ain’t enough rest atleast for gain and the penis to fully recover. After 2 days on and 1 day off it’s enough rest too help you get thru another 2 days but again I don’t think it’s enough to fully recover the penis.

Sometimes I’ll go 3 days and after the 3rd day my penis feels tired like it needs rest, or I’ll notice I don’t get 100% erections. I couldn’t imagine 5 days straight.
But I notice when I take 2-3 days of rest that’s always when I get gains or notice change. Obviously if you do 2 days on 3 days off that’s not really gonna work but after 2-4 weeks of a normal routine I always find extended rest is a good benefit for gains.

Now in terms of temp length I got 2 questions. After doing PE for 2 weeks I notice I was a little over my starting 5.25” length, then after 1 month I took a 3 day break and when I measured after the break I was a little over 5.5” I’d say 5.6”.
Now that I’ve been doing my normal routine for 7 days I notice I don’t ever measure past 5.5”, is it normal to lose a little I’m guessing its due to being worked out and perhaps fatigue. If I was to rest for few days I’d probably be back to over 5.5”. Not that I’m complaining over a few mm I’m just asking.

Another temp length question, If I’m 5.5” NBPEL after stretching and jelqing should I be at 5.6” or 5.7” in order to gain? As far as I can remember I never got temp length from a session. Any length gains came after rest.

Rest is essential. This is an area you can’t follow anyone else. Listen to your dick!

Absolutely!

Everybody’s body is different. Listen to your dick :)

I think in the long term, too much rest is far better than not enough rest.
You only have the one dick.

Every injury takes time away from PE, while rest is an essential PART of PE.

I’ve heard of people taking decondition breaks, where they stop PE for a week. At what point do you suggest people take this break, After 90 days?

Again listen to YOUR dick.

I have to take a break every 4-6 weeks because of this. I just find I fatigue easy. I initially felt like I was just weak but realised that ‘pushing through’ was going to cause injury so I do exactly this and when PIs drop, I take at least a week off and see how it is.

I think depends a lot in the kind of training you do. Some need more rest than others.

Excellent approach :)

Thanks. It’s all the advice on here and that amazing thread on PI.
Overtraining and getting a leg injury is one thing (and not a good one), getting a dick injury? No thanks!

I’ll say this:

It depends on many factors like experience, daily stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, sex/masturbation (but i fee like mast. puts more fatigue on the member rather than sex)……

What others said about listening to your dick is i think…….morning wood, does it feel like it hurts when you touch it, shrinkage, fat long flaccid state, EQ ….. For people who train lifting weights i think its kinda similar like the term “auto regulation”.
