Over-training and not giving the penis sufficient time to recovery will cause injury. The recovery cycle is where you make the gains. The process for which rebuilding and repairing takes place, making your penis bigger and stronger for the next workout. So don't over-stress the little guy and substain an injury . It's better to make healthy gains and cememt them versus quicks gain risking injury to stop your P.E./sex career.

There are some excellent threads in the Boo Boo's and Band-Aids forum when you stress it too much.

Keep Pulling
 
Check out the link that Threak gave you Bored, but since youve been at it for a while and seemingly havent done any damage to yourself yet, I wouldnt worry about over-doing it. I know DLD was a bit of a 'Penis Enlargement Madman' when he was first going at it and I dont recall him ever really injuring himself- sometimes the more the better.
 
I don't believe you can stretch too much... according to Bib, he hung weights for hours and hours on end. I believe that DLD did some serious stretching when he first started also... As long as you are doing flaccid work like stretching, then there is little risk of injury. However, any exercize that requires an erection WILL require a rest/recovery period. JMO...
 
MM, DLD did tear his frenulum when he had an episodal attack with his OCD but that's a bit different than your typical over use injury.

BIB's all day hanging routine was based on the idea of keeping the penis in a stretched position for as long as possible. He would start off for 2-3 sets with heavy loads to induce fatigue and then progressively, for however many sets he could get in, reduce the weight to where he would only be hanging 5 or so pounds. This is really a lot like wearing an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] where you achieve a level of fatigue and then maintain an extended position while in the "healing" process. It is possible to overstretch and get into the realm of tissue hardening, which is where you've pulled the tissue so hard that instead of growing more tissue the body reacts as if injured and works to harden the tissue as to prvent future injury. That's a big reason why you have to know and understand how your penis reacts to certain types of exercises.
 
BL, Yes that's correct. It's possible to gain some length with jelqs but flaccid work is considered to be the best method to gain length.

All in all you want to maintain a healthy penis throughout your P.E. career.

Just as millionman said
...to prevent future injury. ...you have to know and understand how your penis reacts to certain types of exercises.

Feel the exercise and stay acute to your effects and results as you do them.

The best towards your efforts

Actually i believe that his all day hanging routine was based on getting the penis to a fatigued state and maintaining that state for as long as possible. If i understand Bib correctly, he believed that deformation (elongation) of the tissues only occurred while the tissues were in a fatigued state, not while or after it healed.

Bib's intial use of heavy weights was to simply get the tissues in a fatigued state as quickly as possible. Once he achieved that state, lighter weights were more than sufficient to encourage deformation. In theory, this is very different than using an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] to keep the tisues stretched while healing...

I believe that Bib also advocated using the lightest weight possible that will cause gains and to increase weight very slowly to prevent the hardening/strengthening of the tissues. He understood that the repeated stress and recovery cycle only served to accelerate the process of tissues getting stronger due to adaptation.
 
SIK, That's actually what I posted. It's really 6 of one half dozen of the other. When you use an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words], at least with my setup, there is still 2-5 lbs tension for the durtation of use. This is similar in what bib did, although he thought more along the lines of deformation it's all very similar. In practice it's the same concept because the weight is light enough to sustain the damaged tissue in an extended state, or deformed state. It's all in the language used and that's about all I see that's different because conceptually the ideas are extremely similar.

He advocated using the lightest weight to hang for several sets to allow for fatigue to set in and continual sets for deformation. You have to remember that he usually hung for more than 8 hours a day. For someone who hangs for 1-2 hours in a day this would be possible early on but then the poundages would increase at a more rapid pace because of the time constraints and the need to reach fatigue fairly quickly. Once fatigue is reached the extended state is only held for a short time and that's a big reason for most guys to use an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] because fatigue or deformation can be held for extended periods of time without having your every day life interrupted.
 
If you're talking a low-intensity stretch such as an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] or wrap, there is probably no limits, other than normal breaks for circulation. If you're talking higher intensity stretches using your hands, you need some break time to allow the microtears to heal.
 
PF, How have your routines been coming along?

I think you're right about using an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] without too much concern for microtearing and overstretching. This is the essential idea behind using an [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] during the proiliferation phase in IPR. It won't cause more damage but help the healing process to occur in an extended state. I think this is sound but with consistent resting patterns, or finding what some call the sweet spot, I don't think using the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] in this manner is necessary. I think using the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] post session is most beneficial for allowing the penis to heal in an extended state. I've tested this a bit and have noticed a tightening in my ligaments and tunica in as little as 12 hours complete rest. This leads me to believe that ocne damage has occurred, in sufficient amounts of course, that the tissue begins to heal from that point forward. This only makes sense, I know, but then with the application of the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] in a 6-8 hour window then the healing is effected by beginning in a larger extended state. Then the [words=http://www.phallosan.com/shop/catalog/default.php?z=eNortjIxtVKyL0pNszWxMFcrSSxKTy2JL0hMT7U1UisoykyxtbBQSy4tLsnPjS8uKcrMS7dVsgZcMMpbEbo%2C]ADS[/words] is taken off and the process can be completed sufficiently enough while asleep that the process can be restarted.

However, I still have found that for me a solid week off once every 2 weeks is sufficient enough time to decondition and come back with an easy to moderate level intensity program and make solid gains. I may end up taking a month or so off at some point, but the more I see progress the more I want to hit 9" FSL. I'm definitely improving and the cool thing is even when I take off the 7-10 days my penis still seems to grow. I think that's a nice little benefit to allowing the tissues to heal as they then relax and that new growth is very visible. My flaccid hang usually jumps about .5" in comparison to when I'm in my active stage for those 2 weeks periods.
