Just one last point. I disagree with this…..
“Everyone needs to rest and allow the tissues to recover, but from a scientific standpoint it would be best to work the tissues with no rest for a long period of time, say a month- followed by a 4 day or so period of rest. In this way you only allow the scar tissue to develop once in a great while- therefore allowing one to gain for a much longer period of time before reaching a plateau. This post is getting to long to discuss what may be happening at a physiological level during a plateau, so I am going to wind this up.”
This is faulty logic here - the more you jelq - the more scar tissue you are creating - but with the dreadful side effect of not gaining!
You are still forming scar tissue when you sleep at night - you are just not taking it to its logical conclusion of growth because it may not be enough rest - you are still scarring the hell out of the thing just not benefitting from it as much as you could.
Some might argue that there is no proof scarring actually happens or happens in a way that has much to do with the cause of growth - some say that cells either expand or divide and this is where rest is critical - to allow this to happen fully before more stress is applied.
In any case, if scarring is happening, it still is happening with more frequent workouts - its just happening more frequently and you are not getting the gift of full growth potential from it because of inadequate rest possibly.
So I think frequent jelqing with less rest is the recipe for a scarring disaster, if scarring is happening to such an extent that you suggest - which I don’t think it is.
I mean, if you are first saying that everyone needs to rest their dick (4 days) - then my question is to you, why?
If it’s a growth or rejuvenation issue, wouldn’t more frequent rest periods cause more growth and rejuvenation?
Why build up 6 days of stress and inflammation and then rest one day (which probably wont recover your dick anyway) when you can rest it for a day after stressing it and getting some growth to build on right away.
Some might argue that 24 hours is adequate time to grow and recover - and maybe it is for some. For me it wasn’t and I suspect for others who’ve had poor or no gains, the same might be true for them. In any case, an extra 24 hours only makes sure the dick has recovered and recovered well.
The better quality hardon seems to affirm this (as well as quick growth of dick).
