Revised idea about Rest Days....

I don’t know if that makes sense but I keep thinking about the old “Rest Days” theory.

We all know that the dick is not a muscle. My old routine consisted of 3 days on, 1 off and so forth. Today I’m not so sure about that anymore…

I mean, if the purpose of PE is to enlarge the 2 chambers that hold the blood, and it’s cells inside, then there’s no need for rest days because in order to effectively enlarge them, you need to keep them at their max. blood level and capacity. If you take rest days, let’s say 2 in a row, they probably are not at their max. level during that time, right.

And since the dick’s not a muscle then what’s the use of rest days? A muscle needs time to re-generate itself and heal the fibers, but a penis does not need that time to recover, I think. Unless you do stretching. The ligs need time to recover, but not the spongy tissue.

I think in order to get the most results out of PE, you should keep the blood level at a somewhat constant level so that the cells widen effectively. And at some point, you’d have to move the intensity up one notch so that the cells are stimulated even more.

I don’t know if that makes all sense. Basically you could go ahead and do jelqs 7 days a week and give your ligs a couple of them off during the week to recover if you do intense stretching or hanging. That would explain why all these PE pills encourage and promote bloodflow to the dick. And they don’t stop working for a couple of days to give your member some rest. What do you guys think?

hobby just wrote in another “Rest Days” thread:

>Since then I’ve tried other girth routines with varying intensity and rest periods without luck until now. The past 4 weeks I’ve been trying to keep my dick expanded almost all the time, using a combination of wearing a cock ring, pumping, squeezing, extreme Ulis and wrapping for girth. I figured if I didn’t allow my dick to contract it would have no choice but to “heal” at its expanded size. It did. After 3 days off to allow all fluid to dissipate, I’m up 1/8” - my first midshaft girth gain in a year. <

This coincides with your increased bloodflow theory. I believe whether you jelq or hang, the tissues need to heal in an expanded state. In other words, keep the pressure on…”Don’t let them breathe!”.

I’m working on a monster thesis regarding length and the above concept seems to apply to girth as well. I’ll be done with it in a few weeks for all of you to sink your teeth into.

On the other hand, one could speculate that with resting, the tissue becomes less tender and more prone to microtears. If you pound a piece of beef for one hour, it’ll be much softer than it was originally. The same might happen with the penis: a lot of PE might make the tissues more tender and more prone to stretching, but more micro tearing may not take place. With rest, the tissues may heal and revert to a more hardended state that can be shocked (and torn) with the next workout. This suggests that rest may indeed be necessary for faster growth.

This is pure speculation with no basis in fact. Let the discussion begin!

We know long hours of moderate, but adequate, tension work for length. Bib hanged/hung (which is correct?) for many hours every weekday, and did a few sets over the weekends. Others have gained well with similar routines, taking no more rest than dictated by schedules (life gets in the way) or a super-worn-out dick. When erections suffer, sensitivity goes down, or similar issues arise, it’s time for a break.

Why should girth be any different?

I’m thinking the best plan, after your dick is conditioned to PE, is to keep the whammy on the tissues. Keep them expanded most of the day. It doesn’t take much intensity to reach a good level of fatigue, as the effects are cumulative. This is a good thing.

>with resting, the tissue becomes less tender and more prone to microtears.

I think it’s the opposite. With the continuous grind the tissues become more and more fatigued, therefore creating more microtears. I’ve gotten so sore by late night that even wrapping was painful. I can’t get that kind of fatigue taking days off.

I’m wondering just how constant the expansion needs to be. Maybe 10 10 minute sessions spread throughout day are 80% as effective as staying engorged using cock rings, wraps and Uli things all those hours. A 5 minute girth session - just enough to get from “bumpy head” to “glossy head” - every hour? I don’t know.

For length, how would hanging one set an hour all day everyday compare in effectiveness to hanging the same number of sets in one long session? Or how about an hour or two of hanging to start the day, then hang one 10 minute set each hour? That’s similar to what I’ve been doing for girth.

I’m looking, as we speak, for more info on that subject. I’ll post it as soon as something comes up.

Here’s a nice link that shines a little more light on it.

Great info.

I got my best girth gains with 5 on 2 off and taking more rest. My feeling with girth is that your growing dick and you need more recovery time sort of like a muscle if you over train it your results will suffer. Now with length I feel while you are growing a little you are mostly stretching what you have. And the more time the better with little or no days off.

I believe the same thing. The more you work it the better.

I agree. Since the body adapts pretty fast to any kind of stimulation, you gotta keep the pressure on. Literally…

I agree with you on the continuous grind thing.

I like the heavy hour or 2 of hanging to start the day to tear up the stuff and then hold the tears open all day.

If we all had 4 hrs a day to hang, like Bib, we would do it. All we are doing is finding modifications to his experience to get the same results because we have time constraints.

…. tug_monkey getting the urge to hang ….

I agree with tug_monkey.Sometimes I take a week off and it seem’s to do wonders for the dick both in terms of growing and having greater resistance to stretch against for more gains.

Hi,

I don’t agree with that theory.

Process in your body like repairing, expanding, multiplication, etc.. will need a determined time to carry out. It dosen’t matter if the penis has muscles or anything else…
This “healing” can take from several hours to over a day depending on the cell type, conditions, and the extent of the “wounded” region.

If you overstress it you only will get a “scar or calcification like” repair, which is not the best…

The thing here is to determinate how much time each individual would need to rest from the self-induced stress.

matti

It is hard to say whether or not rest days are beneficial. It may have more to do with adequate levels of NO (nitric oxide) and l-arginine to promote quicker/more efficient tissue healing (via an increased number of fibroblasts). A good portion of gains may actually come in the post-repair stage where the new collagen created is still in a gel-like state. After a certain amount of time (a few months), the collagen which was replaced becomes less malleable and has a higher tensile strength than the collagen it replaced. IE - even though this particular segment of collagen is longer, it is now less sucseptible to damage, so after this period of time, it would usually be a completely different area of tissue that is damaged when force is applied. Scarring and calcification such as matti mentioned above are avoided if there is an adequate supply of NO and l-arginine present in the early stages of healing.

>>Or how about an hour or two of hanging to start the day, then hang one 10 minute set each hour<<

That actually sounds like it would be very effective (IMO anyways). The early morning sets would serve to tear tissue (being that most collagen healing is done during sleep, and this is the most intense session of the day). The remaining sessions would serve to keep the microtears as stretched as possible while healing, as well as stretch the collagen that was produced as a result of the healing of the morning damage. (of course, all sessions - even the morning one - would stretch newly formed tissue that was formed prior to that day as well … inversely proportional to the amount of time that has transpired since that particular cell/cell culture was formed)
