Been back at it for a week or so. Right now I’m only doing 30 minutes with the Lengthmaster morning and night, followed by wearing an extender. Getting some serious stretching in. I also do some kegels, edging and jelqs.
This morning I fell a pop, tearing sensation that scared me for a second and I released the stretch. After realizing nothing was hurting, I continued the routine and am very sore. In hindsight I wish I would have just kept relaxing into the stretch but I’ll try again tomorrow. Did my evening routine and it was business as usual, never being able to replicate what happened in the AM.

Great days work. To put your mind at rest a pop is a normal thing to hear when stretching for about 60% of the men out there. It’s just like cracking your knuckles, air gets trapped at the pubic bone beneath the ligament and when it’s pulled away from the bone it pops.

So it’s been business as usual for a while until I did last nights 30 minute LM set and unwrapped and my dick looked like it got mugged. It’s all bruised on top ?
Soo... should I hold off and take yet another break? It’s sore AF but I feel like I could keep pressing on, I just don’t want any permanent damage. What’s your thoughts? My gut says lay off the LM and do manuals and some girth type stuff....

I would keep experimenting with different wraps to see which one will work best for you. Everybody has a different wrapping method so have a good look through the wrapping forum.

Yeah, I planned on upping the padding. Took the last 4 days off from the LM and have been doing a manual stretch and girth routine whilst the bruising goes away. SSJ’s and pumping, the wife likes the temporary results so much I think I’m going to modify my routine to incorporate it.
I’m going to stick with the Lengthmaster in the AM and do girth in the evening.

All good news my brother! And what better bonus than having the wife notice! Good work and a great perspective my brother.
You're doing allot of work. If gains have still stalled I recommend taking 3 months completely off and then coming back with a much much much stepped down routine and slowly build back up.

Longstretch,
Yeah, I tried slow and steady for a little over 2 years and got some gains but very minimal. 3/8” per year in length and less than a 1/4 total (in 2 years) in girth.
When I decided to join MOS I got really excited about the more is more approach coupled with SRT. But so far I haven’t seen any results from this either.
I have had a few weeks off but 3 months would drive me crazy!! I’m really just searching for something that brings results, even if it’s slow. I’m plenty dedicated and will fit in as much or as little as possible to make this happen.
Trust me man I totally understand. The reasons you listed are the exact reasons why you need a decon. You gained a little then really ramped up the intensity and quit gaining despite using popular techniques for gaining (hanging and extending). You've now overworked your tissues and need to rest so it will loosen up and gains can occur and occur with less work. Basically all this work has been toughening up the collagenous matrix in your penis meaning it requires more work to make gains if any and also means future gains will need more intense work.
If regular scheduled breaks aren't a part of your routine you need an extended decon. I'm coming back from almost 2 years away and have made newbie like gains with a little work.
Read the last few pages of my log for more information, I think starting at page 51. I'm on a decon now and will restart in 2 week's and hope to continue making gains.

You can basically keep spinning your wheels and upping time and tension, possibly gaining but definitely making future gains harder and very likely increasing likelihood of injury. Or you could rest and do what works. Come back with a deconditioned dick and gain with less work. It'll still take work but less of it.
If stopping completely scares you you could do a step down routine until you get to a point that you’re doing nothing and then from that point give yourself a week off and start back in with the most basic routine possible. From that point you can build on it and get yourself back into SRT when you’re ready. Sometimes we just need to lay off for a little while for the penis to respond.
I too was hesitant of incorporating regular decon breaks into my routine and even more hesitant about incorporating prolonged decon breaks. However when look back over my long PE career my best gains, including recently, have came after decon breaks. I don't mean taking a week or two off, especially if having been stalled for months, much less years!
I took others lead on taking decon breaks. And they were making consistent gains. In fact I took one before I ventured into vacuum hanging after being stalled for 2 years despite religious PE. Take 3 months off, allow your tissues to decon and come back with slightly less newbie gains, we do have diminishing returns with breaks or not.
Even DLD took 2 months off and wore tight underwear before developing SRT. I don't recommend wearing tight underwear at any time but still he took a decon.
Think about it. You can keep upping time and intensity and further toughening tissues. Making little to no progress, making future gains harder and any decon break needed longer. Or you can rest, come back and make cheap and easy gains and keep repeating till you get to your goals.
I'd recommend against DLD's advice of doing a step down routine. That would be beneficial if trying to cement, but let's face it you've been stalled for a while. There is no need to cement, all this time you've been cementing but not gaining. 3 months is the conservative estimate, longer if necessary. Use the decon to learn your next plan if attack. I think I've developed a very good routine. Read through my log starting on page 50 or whenever it was I came back in June.

LS,
Let me start by saying that I REALLY appreciate the in depth response and the time it took, it’s great that people will still go out of their way to help others. I read though pages of your log and your theories seem sound based on the links you provided. I think I’m sold on taking an extended decon break. Just a couple questions for you.
What exercises do you think would be wise to continue during my break or should I rest completely? I am thinking on the conservative side I could still edge, do kegels and angion method occasionally. With a more aggressive approach still do some manual stretching and light extending. I know it’s not a proven science yet, I’d just like your opinion. I really just want to lose as little as possible.
Also when starting back do you think it wise to jump in at a higher workout intensity than a beginner routine as I literally gained nothing until I ramped up the intensity quite a bit. Even then it was a very slow and arduous process for me, never gaining more than an 1/8 in 3 months.
Can you clarify your routine that you followed for your first “month on”? Were you only working out 2 days a week? I didn’t work out this morning and have pretty much wrapped my mind around not doing PE for the months to come. Lastly, ow did you come up with the 3 month suggestion? What are your thoughts on it, should it be more, do you think the benefit would be greater or could I get away with a shorter break?
Thanks in advance for your reply

3 months is how long it takes for the remodeling process to be mostly done in collagenous fibers. Upon that science that's where that number has came from, however I think after your long break if you schedule in regular decon breaks say a month or 2 you can get by with that. I'm currently experimenting with a one month on and one month off now. In your case I'd keep stretching out of your routine, no active PE. Kegels and Angion Method should be fine.
You would need a higher intensity routine than newbie but think of progressive overload. It should be reduced where it can still start the growth process and reduced enough where you could slowly add to it to continue the growth process.
Last campaign and next one starting in 2 week's will be 1 day on and 1 to 3 off. I average around 3 days on per week. Doesn't sound like much but I make those days count and take BPSFL throughout day. You can actually track the strain percent that day and I aim for 2% or more. For instance I start the day at 21.5 cm BPSFL and after all my pe work I end up at 22.0 cm. That's a strain of 2.32%. Too much science and info to go over here but I believe that's been enough for gains. When those gains start to stall for you take a decon. It's amazing because you can start to objectively see when you need a break.
That's why my current routine is setup the way it is. I've built it so everything has a purpose. To progress through the strain curve
