Yep. That’s why I’m keeping out of it. Trying to. (:
Cluck.
Well I’m more cock than hen. :rolleyes:
I am always interested to see what deductions guys draw from the scientific info on these matters, or what deductions they glean from reading thousands of posts on this site. I’m most interested in personal experience.
I will never give a vote of confidence to any one side or the other; that’s not fence-sitting, it’s the practical experience of the fact many approaches work.
I am very happy that guys want to explore both the scientific info, and what has worked for others (even of it farts in the face of what should work).
With PE I have found that taking an un-shakeable stance is never a good idea. Whichever side of the fence you fall.
I look at rat-tail data, and know that it represents a good model of connective tissue elongation. It does not show how the body adapts as a result; the tissue is dead. I look at so much scientific data and try to transpose what should work onto what actually works in practice.
I have seen some of the med guys here give it the med speak, from time to time. It impresses others. I avoid it.
I’m not in the business of stoking my ego; never have been.
I know the pumpers build size. The hangers build size. The ADS’ers. The clampers, the manual guys, the guys who rest, the guys who don’t. Different things work at different stages of your ‘PE career’.
If you impose a stress load on the body, it will do it’s best to adapt to that stress. I look after a lot of athletes, and their injuries; all their coaches have different ideas on training. Guess what? Some ideas have stood the test of time, but no two athletes get the same training. Sometimes it’s because muscle biopsies have shown that a certain regimen ‘may’ suit that athlete better, but mostly it’s good old fashioned trial and error. Some guys are just lucky and find the ‘right’ coach for them, with the right methods. Others don’t, and never reach their full potential; but all of them, if they train consistently, make progress in their respective sports.
Use any method of PE you like. If it gives results, tell us here. If you are a newbie, use a suitable method for newbies.
If you are heavily conditioned, you will need different methods; methods that could stop a newbie’s gains in their tracks, or cause difficulty in gaining more in the long term (but may be the only way to force further growth out of an over-conditioned dick, if unwilling to take extended decons).
Much better to think of PE as an art, than a science. Maybe it will become a science, but I bet the science will only increase gain rates by a few small percent over what the ‘art’ approach gives.
The human body wants to adapt.
Time and consistency are infinitely more important than method.
