Alternating girth and length work every month instead of breaks
If you alternate between girth and length work do you think it could be similar to taking a break. I noticed better gains after a month of light stretching, and many people would like to experiment with breaks but find it hard to stop for a month (PE addicts!).
Say you dedicate 1 hour a day to PE. For simplicity say 30min length 30min girth. If breaks do benefit PE then over a course of a year you may get better overall gains by alternating each month or every 2 months. Switching between 1 full hour girth or length.
Of course it is not a “real” break but it is a change between longitudinal and lateral tunica work and the ligs will get a break.
The "average size" is usually over-estimated. Small guys don't take part in surveys and big guys jump at the chance.
