Ya. I’ll monitor it. We will see how today goes. Where did you hear the week off, is that BDs advice?

Yes thats exactly what BD says.
Monitoring before and after BPSFL is how we determine if we need a break.
Once post workout elongation is less than 2% its time for a week off.
We do 1-2 more sessions to make sure there wasn't an error in measuring.
When it's confirmed it's less than 2% you have alot of cumulative fatigue that needs to reset.
I'm personally taking a week off every 4 weeks going forward.

I totally missed this. Thanks man. It makes sense
 
Last night was the second training session in a row where my post workout measurement wasn’t at least 102% my pre workout measurement so I am following the advice above posted by Tommy from bd and taking the week off. Hope to come back to new gains

You'll come back and hit a new PR man.
After my week off I was 1 MM longer. Measured 4 times just to make sure.
Isn't much but shows you won't lose any gains.
BD even recommends taking a month off every 12 months.
Doing so you will actually expect a 1/16-1/8 inch gain despite doing zero training

Comes back to, if you lose your gains, you never actually gained
 
Time to catch up in the log. Was supposed to start training again Monday but it ended up being Tuesday cause I got in too late from helping my girlfriend move all weekend. And I had to go right into a training event for work for two days…..but here is the training so far this week

Tuesday 9/12

session 121 (previous two weren’t logged cause I wasn’t hitting my percentages)

BPSFL starting - 9.5” not too bad after a week off

length maser - downward bundle stretch 20mins, 2 sets of 5 mins with a 25 second break in between each way.

Total man rod extender - 4mm cord with 4 booster bands. 1hr 5 mins split into 13 sets of 5 mins with 25 seconds rest in between.

BPSFL after - 10” happy to hit 10 after a break


Wednesday 9/13
session 122

BPSFL starting - 9.625”

length maser - downward bundle stretch 20mins, 2 sets of 5 mins with a 25 second break in between each way.

Total man rod extender - 4mm cord with 4 booster bands. 1hr 5 mins split into 13 sets of 5 mins with 25 seconds rest in between.

BPSFL after - 10.125” back to cracking 10


Thursday
9/14

BPSFL starting - 9.75” making my best starting measurement before the break

and this is where adversity hit. The old blister broke open and a new one as well. I decided to try compression hanging and it just didn’t work so I scraped the session since it was already late. I did my 20 mins of lengthmaster Bundle stretching but only one set of compression hanging quitting during the second set. Didn’t bother measuring after. Plan is to stick with the length master until the blisters heals and just up the sessions to 3
