ADAPTATION AND AVOIDING STRENGTHENING
Connective tissues such as tunica albuginea, a ligamentous skeleton of the penis as it has been described In one of papers studying penis anatomy, is a construction of fibrous collagenous
tissue. This fibrous structure bear the loads during the erection and also is the structure stressed by external load as we do in PE.
Applying a stretching force to the penis these external forces are delivered through the extra cellular matrix (ECM) via collagen fibers to the mechanosensing cells (fibroblasts), the extracellular stress level raising to equal the externally applied stress level,the process is called mechanotransduction. The force applied
externally pulling the tissue apart is internally pulling the tissue to maintain the form. These forces reach the cellular level and some that will remain after the external forces has been removed.
Collagen being inactive entity, simple load carriers to be under continuous renewal and regeneration,
ECM being the active operator maintaining the processes. This stress being continuously applied by daily workouts will cause the connective soft tissue to adapt to the environment,
seeking the homeostasis. That can be managed only by strengthening the tissue seen as the net collagen accumulation over time. The connective tissue becomes stronger by the cross sectional area increase, and becoming stiffer in general making it harder to elongate.
PE practitioner counter-reacting to this by progressive loading will ignite non-stopping loop jeopardizing future development.
As we can understand we should avoid this kind of development and still be able to elongate the tissue. That being a task of dancing on the razors edge, as to elongate we need to use the same mechanism differently to adapt the tissue to the newly introduced STRAIN not the STRESS.
There come the techniques we use in the major role. What should go without mentioning is that obviously getting the best possible strain on the tissue with the lowest possible stress level during exercises, is the first and foremost important strategy to avoid the adaptation to applied stress.
Also, more abusive the methods are, in other words more micro damage caused the more significant is the adaptation by strengthening as a result, despite even getting some gains in a
mean time. ECM will build up internal cumulative residual stress as a consequence of simply the elongation, and similarly because of the continuously applied external stresses due workouts.
So the more there are gains in a given timeline and the abusive the workouts have been, the higher is the residual stress.
This residual stress has been hypothesized for being in major part limiting natural growth of any living tissue. Further development on science will have some proper answers in coming decades orso, being under great interests and growing understanding pretty much over last decade only.
Coming back to responses on single workout the fibroblasts will react to external forces applied to the tissue by proliferation. In other word with accelerated expression of new
collagen. Simultaneously the degradation of existing collagen accelerates.
Workouts continued to be repeated daily for a month have not been seen building up net collagen content on connective tissue. But similarly continued for 11 weeks, the net collagen content in daily exercised tendons for instance, show significant net collagen content increase.
So at this stage the TA is in anabolic state and not in a positive manner for us , collagen degradation is absent and while new collagen formation increased it is becoming stronger and harder to stretch any further. Whether or not the net collagen accumulation will immediately show adaptation in a magnitude hindering penis elongation remains under speculation.
But clear indications have been seen, not only in my work, including several others having the tools in disposal giving tremendous BPFSL gains for maximum of three months before diminishing returns and eventually having no gains at all.
Not using progressive loading patterns over time and not combating the diminishing returns by increasing workout volume there can be some interesting observations and conclusions to be made.
In fact markers are recognizable significantly earlier, already after 45 days the post exercise BPFSL measurement stalling despite the pre-exercise BPFSL still constantly gaining for another 20 days or so.
Keeping the strain development and the BPFSL gains as a guidance there is clear formulation seen and simply as an evidence too hard to be ignored. All this having at least two resting days or more between three workouts.
Having some nerve to claim there is not much to ask for the BPFSL gains during single campaign with the tools in disposal. Therefor it is reasonable to suggest that maximum of three months is the ultimate duration for the workout period to last. And it would be preferred to call it a day soon after the gains have stalled.
The tools to combat the adaptation include different measures at different stages.
Single one hour long exercise for human male Achilles tendon can induce proliferation and simultaneous-ly increased collagen degradation for 3-4 days. Therefor we can assume that working out several days back to back we are not giving the tissue any rest, the induced processes trying to get the homeostasis for days.
One day workout following three days of rest would be the ideal, had the workouts be efficient enough. This would be the perfect scenario avoiding the adaptation maximally.
Then for the gains to keep coming we need to make a compromise between the progression or avoiding the adaptation.
With the concept in use I have been using, there have been gains coming steadily with three days workouts and two days rest.
As told in the prior section the adaptation couldn´t be avoided with the workout schedule .
As we already know this protocol in combination of decons from 3 weeks to two month between workout periods, has not been ideal reaching the plateau after 1.5 years continuation.
Therefor after successful extended decon of 5+1 months, the periodization in this case, will be 2-3 months of work following 2-3 months decons until plateauing.
Remains to be seen if it will be the case or will there be natural limits reach as such not being able to con-firm the chances working.
Keeping the workout duration as short as possible, using vigorous heating and lowest possible stress for the best possible strain, would be tactics to keep the adaptation response for exercises low.
Taking at least two days rest every three days, if the gain rate stays high having even more rest, it would be ideal to keep the adaptation response for the cumulative stress as low as possible.
More rest you can incorporate to the workout schedule the lower the net collagen accumulation after the first month carefree phase will be.
Shorter the workout period the better when avoiding the strengthening of the tissues. Ideal would be having no longer than one month long workout campaign at time.
