Tried that… don’t think it’s for me. One, I already do like two hours, and I can’t really afford to go longer than that… two hours is a pretty significant amount of time as it is. Two, with less intensity it’s much harder to keep an erection the whole time cause the clamp doesn’t do all the work for you, so you gotta make a huge effort to keep the erection level up, which I find difficult.Any suggestions, or just not for me you think?
The problem with really high intensity (other than possible injury) is it will really kick in the toughening reaction. Once that begins to happen, it becomes much more difficult because higher and higher forces are needed which in turn increase toughening.
Those that have made LONG TERM gains, have always found their “sweet spot” which is just enough force to get progress moving, and no more. THEN you try increasing time before increasing force, and just add “little bits” of increased force only when necessary. This helps prolong the gains you can make before a decon is needed.
For the guys I have studied that have made massive long term gains, its finding that sweet spot, then fairly regular decon breaks to reverse that “tissue momentum” and RESET the force “clock”.
I get what you guys are saying about no days off, but some of you may have pushed the force up too fast to quickly, and if you find you are stalled no matter what you do, it may be time for a significant decon to “reset”. I suggest if you do try that, when you begin again, just try to find the least force that will work and don’t increase it until increased time proves useless.
