IPR Discussion

So last week I started a thread called IPR Theory and it hasn’t seen much activity. Maybe due to my request to "keep on topic" and if that’s the case, I really appreciate the respect.

Personally the theory seems very plausible to me but I’m a bit nervous about taking off 2 months before starting a IPR Campaign. I really enjoy the PE process and look forward to it most of the "On" days. It’ll be tough to lay off for a couple months especially considering the uncertainty.

In any case, I’m looking for any kind of feedback in this thread on the topic of IPR. If you’re unfamiliar with the IPR Theory then follow the link to my other thread and read up on the reference links I provided. Then come back here, ask questions, offer incites and lets learn more together.

Is this method suggested to be used once gains have come to a halt? So, it is a way of getting around the strengthening of the ligaments (which caused gains to slow), correct?

Good question. If I were to guess, I’d say stick with the newbie routine until the gains stop coming. Then try a IPR Campaign. The theory in my mind is upon completion of a IPR phase R (remodeling/rest period) the penis would react similarly to a newbie starting. That’s my theory anyway and that’s based on something xeno pointed out regarding the penis becoming conditioned to PE thus preventing additional gains because it’s used to the abuse. After the phase R period the penis it’s going to be shocked by the new routine when you start phase I (inflammation/injury) period resulting in new gains.

Xeno is correct, your dick can get bored with the same ol’ same ol.’ I change my routine every 6-8 weeks and even in that I mix in different grips and stretches and angles. As you can see I benefited nicely from it.

Even during a 3-4 month newbie period you can modify:

Add in a few more jelqs every week as dick can tolerate.
Tighten the grip just a little bit every week.
Alternate between Babis modified newbie routine.
And back to the classic Newbie routine.

kingpole, I know you operate on the IPR theory on the micro level (taking 2 days off between sessions) but do you subscribe to the macro theory (2 months off after a 2 week phase I and a 4 week phase P)? I think I know the answer to that already but for the sake of the forum could you explain?

I took a break for a year or so due to illness, had lost a little gains.

I never tried the macro theory. I think it is an excuse to be lazy. It might work.
I take a week off before changing routines. I change routine every 6-8 weeks.
Working your dick 7 days per week without breaks in my guess a waste of time.

It seems like almost everyone has lost interest in the IPR routine, I don`t understand why, Since it works.

It has worked for me three times, I gained around 5 mm each round. These gains came long after my newbie gains, And I had been doing pretty intensive PE for months without any gains before finally giving it at try.

If you have been doing your routine for months without any gains you should give it a try.

kristian69, did you stop PE’ing for 2 months before you started your first IPR Campaign?

Any IPR vets out there kind enough to shed some more light on the subject?

I thinking about taking a break November and December of this year. If I do I might start up a hard core IPR routine in Jan.

I would like to give it another chance. If anyone would like to join me maybe we could put an agreed upon routine together

and see what happens?

Yes, It won`t work without the break, The break is the reason that it works.

The IPR routine is not some thing I would start with as a newbie, But IMO it is a good tool to continued gains when nothing else seems to work.

You are correct in your theory, This is the idea behind the routine. When you PE, The body will adapt to the stress by making the tissues stronger/thicker, And this will make further gains a lot harder to achieve. The decon break will take a way the stress and the tissues will hopefully return to an almost newbie like state, And make new gains easier.

I think harder longer programs should only be done 3-4 days per week with a week long break at the end of 6-8 weeks,
Did you try the macro program and if so did it work for you?

Not sure what macro program means, This is what I did:

First round started after a two months decon break, I followed xenos routine, This is a light hanging routine, 1 on/2 off, Increasing the time/tension every ON day. Gains should come during the first two weeks on the routine (only 5-6 workouts), And then you start the cementing face, Wearing an extender every day for one month.

Round two also started after a two month decon break, But this time I tried something else, I didn’t hang, I wore an extender for one hour in the morning, Followed by 200 wet jelqs, And wore the extender for an hour in the evening also. I did this every day.
Gains came during the first two weeks, I decided to continue a little longer but saw no further gains.

Round Three started after two months decon, This time I wanted to experiment even more, I discussed this with xeno, And decided to try and ease in to the routine with a very light program, Stretching, Jelqing, And extender usage, Gradually increasing the tension. To make it short, The idea was to continue gaining after the first two weeks, And more gains in total for each IPR round.
This time I saw no gains the first two weeks, The gains came after I increased the tension to a more normal level.

After round three I decided to keep going because I wanted more gains, This is now 7 months ago, And I have still not seen any new gains. So I guess I have to take a new decon break, And start on round four.

The micro level is the 1 day on 2 days off.

The macro is 2 weeks on 2 months off.

That’s the way I understand it. It’s the combination of the micro and macro rest period that make up the IPR theory. I’d venture to guess that almost everyone here operates of some level of the micro resting periods. The macro rest period is what makes the IPR Theory unique.
