best way to rest in extender routine?

I have been in extender routine, no days off, for around 2 months.
I did 550 hours or so. average around 9hours a day
I am gaining solid around 1cm erect and I am happy
But now i have some bruises and definitely need to rest.
I tried to keep going alternating penimaster with jes extender in a hope usign different grip methods would help me go on, healing with one extender what the other extender damages.

But at this point cant go any further and need some rest.

So :
- would you take few days off til fully healed?
- Or would you take few days off from extender but keep doing manual stretches?
- Or would you do less hours a day in extender til healed? (say 2-4 hour a day)
- Or would you simply take a 15 days break as decon?

thanks

Wow. That’s a lot of time!
The data is limited, but what does exist says that there’s no additional gain from doing more than 4 hours a day.

You’ve got your newby-gains and from here on out it’ll be slower.

With that schedule and the injuries you report, you’re overtrained and almost certainly could do with a decon break. 2 weeks off would probably do the trick. If you’re worried about losing gains during the break, you could still do some light manual stretching and gentle jelqing. But don’t try to grow it; keep in mind that you’re resting and healing.

How come 4 hours a day is enough? i think I benefit from doing more than 4.

thanks a lot. I will try do an active resting … definitely i have too many small wounds in the glans, and under the crown

I honestly don’t know the biology behind it. That’s just what X4 Labs says and they claim it’s based on trial data.

They very well could be wrong, but I sort of doubt it. It does make sense that at some point you “max out” and additional time per day doesn’t improve results because the process seems to be an injury and healing cycle.

I tried extending through injury and it doesn’t get better. You just stay bruise and beat up. Only positive I was forced to modify my setup to now I have less pain and bruising.

So if you can’t change your set up maybe a rest is needed.
