I apologize for rehashing this. You probably have defined it multiple times.“If you have been over training, you will find after about a week or so, your EQ will start to improve. It may continue to improve for several weeks, at which point it will slowly begin to decrease again. This is the point to begin training again.”
Are you saying after a week or so of rest EQ will return?
And your saying after several weeks of no PE the EQ decreases. Then start PE again?
So your saying overtrain, rest, eq comes back but then declines after weeks of no pe?
If you are over trained, and you take a decon break, you most likely will see the following:
after a period of time, you will see a dramatic increase of EQ (which has been depressed because of the over training…thats one sure way to see that you HAVE over trained)
after some additional time, EQ will begin to decrease again. If you lay off long enough you will return to your pre-PE baseline.
I now find that the time period is directly proportional to the amount of over training. If you beat the crap out of your dick, it will improve over a longer period of time (which means it may take long to completely recover).
If you are just a little over trained, you will recover quicker, and drop down to your pre-PE baseline quicker.
I think that it MAY be a good indicator to jump back in when the peak of your EQ starts to decline. However, this is the rule for when you are in a PE cycle and have dropped your EQ due to having over trained.
IF you are talking length for DECON break, I don’t think this can be used. Decon is to reset the tissue on a cellular level, and I don’t know what are precise indicators. The best I can come up with for now is when your flaccid penis has lost all its toughness and “chordyness”.
Try and remember how your dick felt to the touch (flaccid) and when it starts to feel that way again, enough decon time may have passed…but this is just my best guess. In general the higher stress for longer time frames, the longer this process will take.
I know some low stress jelquers that are probably ready to end decon after 2 weeks. I know some high stress hangers that needed to wait 3-6 months.
I’m not telling you TO over train, but what to do if you HAVE. There are PE systems that deliberately put you into over training or tissue trauma, and have a cycled recovery growth and decon period.
Thats a whole thread onto itself…the different methodologies and theories of growth.
Read my EQ thread linked at the bottom of my posts…it should clear this up for you.
