It's a hard grind. Having a long rest now. It's always hard after a long rest...but just keep at it.
I'm feeling positive for the future. I know I will hit my goal in 2 months. I need to believe this is possible. This is the only way I can be happy doing this hard work.
What I discovered for myself is that 3 days on and 1 day off, is optimal to keep the soreness on my base/shaft and discoloration on my glans at bay.
If I do like 4 days or more of exercise, without rest. The soreness becomes to much to be able to keep up with the intensity.
Sharing this for a diffrent perspective for you. Maybe this can work for you as well, if the soreness is hindering you in some way?
