PE breaks in your routine

Just finished a 7 day break period and about to start up again for 2 months. Interestingly, I actually started to notice more veins during my break period than when I was PE’ing and I didn’t have any drastic decrease in size either flaccid or erect. I’m thinking these PE breaks may be golden.

I wanna try a two week break eventually, although that isn’t going to be for a while.

I gained very well during my first 8 months of PE. The next 6 months of PE didn’t do anything so I took a 9 month break and have been back at it with a vengence for a month now. My plan is to go for 3 or 4 months and see what happens.

Here are my stats.

June 15 2003
EBPL - 6”
EG - 5 1/4”

Feb 24 2004
EBPL - 7 1/4”
EG - 5 3/4”

May 26 2005 after my extended break
EBPL - 7 3/8”
EG - 6”

I didn’t lose any gains at all. In fact I gained slightly. This could have been caused by allowing my dick to deconditon for such a long period of time.

Has anyone actually taken 6 to 9 months off, come back and done their PE with religion and seen good gains?

On breaks you want to act differently than you do when on PE. What I mean is that you need to measure like a mad man every day or two to make sure gains aren’t going away. When they start to slip, do a workout to maintain them. Some can do 2 weeks without losing anything, others can’t go two days without losing.

Close to 2 years p.e,never took a break.

I presume that XL meant to preface the above statement with “IMO”.

I have a different opinion.

Realizing that everyone’s physiology is different, I nonetheless feel sufficiently concerned about the (almost certain for everyone) negative manifestation of penile tissue conditioning attendant with adherence to the view expressed above that I feel it is incumbent upon me to offer the following counter view for “the good of the order”:

IMO, the goal of a deconditioning break is to allow one’s penile tissues to become deconditioned, NOT to maintain gains. My understanding is that a period of ‘cementing gains’ training prior to going to decon serves the purpose of maintaining (or at least limiting loss of) gains during a subsequent decon break. In this mentality, one accepts that (even with good ‘cementing gains’ training prior to going to decon) some gains may be lost during the subsequent decon break in the knowledge that they will be readily re-gained, and much surpassed, upon resuming PE training.

In short, IMO:

activity: PE training —> goal: achieving a larger dick
activity: cementing gains —> goal: limiting loss of gains from a subsequent decon break
activity: decon break —> goal: achieving a deconditioned dick

As far as I can tell, achieving a deconditioned dick is very difficult (read: time consuming). I would advise my fellow PE practitioners to not make it more difficult than it has to be by doing “…a workout to maintain them” (gains) during a decon break. I believe that this action undermines not only the short term goal of achieving a deconditioned dick, but also undermines the ultimate goal of achieving a larger dick (counter-intuitive as that may seem) by reducing the magnitude of the “conditioning reserve” available for use in making gains once one switches one’s activity back to PE training. IOW, I would advise one to stick to the goal of the activity with which one is currently engaged, and not to mix them up.

Of course, as always, one must choose a course of action that best suits them.

Good post xeno. :up:

I agree with xenolith

My post was in reference to stormy’s question on extended breaks, not short ones. I never measure or do a workout during breaks if I’m only breaking for 1-2 weeks. If I’m breaking longer than that, the non-cemented gains might dwindle, and that would give me reason to do a little workout.

I already stated above that the main goal of PE breaks are to decondition your dick.

Guys,

I’ve hit a plateau and seen no gains for the last 2-3 month. I’m considering a deconditioning break. I’ve been doing PE for a total of 6 month, now and have gained some length and girth.

How long do you guys think is a minimum requirement to seeing deconditioning effects ? In other words, how long should such a break be ?

1-2 weeks. Whatever you feel comfortable with.

I did PE for a couple months and gained 1/4”. I had to take 3 months off due to no privacy and I just restarted. I didn’t lose any gains even after three months, but my first few sessions felt like I was a newbie again. Today I started feeling normal again in my routine. The first 3 times back I started out conservatively. Today I just jelqed without watching the clock until my penis could no longer maintain a 50% erection (about 20 minutes).

Good job, Peter Mac.

Sounds like you’re doing everything appropriately. You took an extended break from PE, and although you didn’t lose anything, others might have. In cases where you know you are going to take a long break, it is preferable to measure every once in awhile after a couple of weeks, just to make sure you aren’t losing gains.

Thanks for the clarification XL.

I’ve been lucky enough to not see losses during the 2 decon breaks I’ve done, a 3 weeker and a 4 weeker that I’ve just come off of. If I had, I don’t know if I could resist busting out some jelqs. I may find out when I manage to go for more like 2 or 3 months :) .

More than likely means you cemented most if not all your gains. :thumbs:

Some people in the same situation as you might lose .5” length and .25” girth if they take a month off. I don’t want that to happen to anyone.

I’m on a 3 weeks break after 6 month of PE. And It looks like I’ve gained.

That’s strange but very appreciable.

I’ll take another week break then restart with the newbie routine then focus my PE on girth gain.

It looks like it’s very lucrative to take a PE break.
