Trojan progress thread

I literally have no idea, my guess would be more blood flow to that area could cause more arousal but that is a very uneducated guess.

Not feeling the best today so taking the day off, will be back at it tomorrow and will go right until the weekend which will be 6 work outs and one day off then back to my normal schedule of 5-2.

Felt up to getting a BPFSL though and its running 19.4-19.5 cm which I am happy about! Results are looking alot like last cycle early on so hopefully they keep up!

Hey trojan, very nice and detailed progress report. I got a few questions for you.

1. I read a thread by longerstretch on sustained growth and noticed you use strain percentage similar to stress-strain curve on the thread. The thread said 2-5% strain rate is the daily goal. Is there any harm if you go higher than that? Does higher strain rate on you = more gains?

2. I have 10-15 mins edging in my routine. When I did it 1 session per 2 days, it leads to better EQ and harder erections. But when I edging every time after my routine, my EQ went from great back to normal. Should I dial it back? And how do you go about edging in a way that’s seems to lead to better gains and EQ?

Thank you!

So I am no scientist and i dont know the scientfic terms by any means but I try to keep the strain between 2-4% because at that range you are deforming the tunica. There is a range above that where its considered tearing which means you are causing damage.

Your body can only repair itself at a certain rate and everybody is different. Higher strain does not mean more growth. If anything higher strain could be you conditioning yourself for higher weight rather than getting gains because your body can’t repair quick enough for the strain rate that you have. I hope that makes sense.

I tried the edging everyday for 30 mins just on decons and it proved to be too much for me as I had bad EQ afterwards. I think it depends on the individual on how much they can handle and need to adjust accordingly. If you had great EQ from a method and are progressing I would keep doing what you are doing but slowly increase the intensity and see how your body handles the change, if it’s too much, dial it back a little bit and do it for a while before upping it again.

I hope that all makes sense, again this isn’t my expertise but it’s just information I’ve gathered from alot of knowledgeable people.

I’m still consistently doing PE but a bit slack updating this log so there are going to be quite a few days in this post.

A big thing to note is I caught myself cheating a bit with my BPFSL. It sucks but I was measuring to the side of my penis where as when I’m measuring my BPEL I do it directly on top. It’s going to look like my BPFSL is less all of a sudden but it’s just much more strict measuring. I also have changed up my routine a little bit. I moved from hanging with fire to the interval length protocol. I have been reading alot on it and decided to give it a try, if it doesn’t pan out then I will go back to my old routine.

The length protocol consists of warm up sets which are 1 min hanging, 15 second break. Working sets are 5 minutes with 15 second breaks. I starting the protocol with heat but that past few times I tried without.

Should have mentioned in my post that I am taking a week off and going forward I’ll be doing a 4 week on 1 week off schedule!

This very interesting Trojan I’m gonna follow your progress.

I’m stuck between trying hanging with fire but over a fulcrum or interval hanging over a fulcrum, Fulcrum hanging only gives me gains.

Very interesting that your using no heat and getting the same strain, I’ve had doubts about heat actually making a difference.

Hi Trojan,

Any update?
