Thanks for coming back to me. The post was quite old and was not sure if you would still receive the reply.
I have been PE’ing over the last 7 years or so, started with the usual jelqs and stretches, phalosan on and off but found nothing really definitive happened. I started hanging with the the phalosan and then the BIB starter last year January till August and and had some good gains. 1.5” before I had serious injury from hanging too much weight BTC and heavy jelqs after. Over the past 2 months I have worked up to hanging 4 x 20min 14lb max, 1st set until fatigued and dropping to 10lb and then wear ADS 6 Hours then Vac hang 3-4 40min sets in the evening 8lb max down to 6lb or 5lb Monday to Friday roughly 3.5 hours daily I was finishing my daily hanging with a 2 x 10 min clamping session but have now add it in front and the middle for the last 3 weeks, weekends 4 x 20min until max and 1 x clamping set and ADS for 4 - 6 hours.
I would not say I’m a vet but I gained some good experience my first time around and am more aware of my PI’s. I feel good, morning wood every day. This was a huge indicator my first time around that I ignored. After my first PI I only lost 0.5” so am ready to continue. After going through the forum I have gathered that more time is better with less weight.
As for taking breaks was aiming for 4 weeks but 6 sounds better. A full week off sounds good. But not even stretches or phalosan(ADS) during this time or a complete STOP no hanging or clamping, stretching anything? OK. I’m in no rush so happy to give it a go.
I will break down my clamping to 2 days on 1 day off from now.
Rice Sock Duct Tape to stretch the Tunica, I discovered it in the forum. I tried a 20 minute set the other day and really felt it with 5lb after my sets but was concerned it may be too much to combine the routines all together. Unless I work it in on the clamping rest days
