Taking a break

Hi,
After more than one year of PE I'm taking a break for a month or two. My question is: Are my ligaments going to be more sensitive to stretch after the break so I'll see greater results in length? Is that the way it works or I'm totally wrong?

Thank you!
BTW: If you guys have already discussed this topic then just post me a link to the thread.
 
My current feeling, feeling is the word, that ligaments might gain some more strength after a hiatus.
Not that much in many cases, but it is a possibility, from what I recall.

As in; some more work-out might be needed for very expressive workouts.

In my personal experience, a short break can be a good thing. Just letting your penis be what it is, enjoying it the way it is, no stress, no worries.
It's relatable to "resetting" yourself, which I need from time to time; If I don't travel or do certain things in a while, my body and mind goes to a halt; things just don't work as well as they should.
I could run the same supplement program, same exercises, but the body just isn't listening.

Sorry if this was a run of the mill answer; I honestly wish you all the best!
Sometimes a break is needed for the body to realize that "Ohhh, you want that part of me to grow, OK!", at least in my opinion. For some it takes a longer time, for some less.
So often I repeat the "boring" individual fact of us. We might have been given a make body and a penis and testicles, but many of us still react diffrerently to certain stimulus.
 
I think deconditioning breaks are useful. Over the last 14 years I've taken many breaks. Some intentional and some not, and some lasting for years. I always seem to make fast gains when I start back up, and then it slows down.

To find out you must understand how ligaments deform and heal in time. Taking a break definitely does make it more sensitive for when you start PE again but you wont see "greater" results in length.
 
From the progress threads I've read thru, some guys find that after a small break from PE that the ligaments will be more primed towards being stretched. This doesn't seem to translate into "newbie" tier gains tho, only close to newbie like growth rates before they are reconditioned. Not saying that this applies to you of course but it's just an observation I've made from some threads.
 
from my perspective its a good thing,kind of like the breaks bodybuilders take off from the gym to recover, but the important thing is to keep yourself at check,don't let a couple of months turn into a year.

I agree time is definitely something that should be kept in check. It's too easy to let something like a 3 month break, turn into a 6 month break, turn into a year with no PE. When taking breaks it would be good to keep track of how long and to firmly remind yourself of when you should start back so you don't keep pushing time further back.

A break can become permanent when the fire burns dim.
 
I'm a little confused... The replies here are quite different from each other, and some of them didn't give an answer to my question, so I don't know what to think.
The only thing I'm sure about is not to let the break lasts too long.
 
well would be ok if you keep a routine thatd keep things alive lol pisspulls,Btc stretches,jelquin after finishing pissing.Even if you have stretching devices PF or some other device can help out..

That is what I meant by "A break can become permanent when the fire burns dim." meaning, if we take too much time off it can destroy our spark of motivation and become a permanent vacation.

That's great DLD but you still didn't answer my question... Come on man, you have plenty of experience, I'm curious to know what you think.

There are multiple variables to this question, so it's virtually impossible to unequivocally answer. PE is 100% anecdotal, and what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another...furthermore, what used to work may no longer for each individual. Everybody's physical make-up is going to vary to at least some degree over all parts, so your ligaments could withstand intense stretching and return to their previous length, or not. This is all an experiment and we have our own subject in our own lab...

This answers so many of the newbie questions in my opinion! There's no saying that "yeah, for sure you'll get an inch in one month, quaranteed!", as the individual aspect comes to play.
Two men can eat the same, sleep the same and train the same; results would still vary to some degree.

And no, I am not saying Spartacus would be a newbie, no sir!
I've had some breaks in the past and personally I feel there is a different sensation in the ligaments when you start again. I can't say for sure has it translated to more length gains, but a short break isn't a bad thing I would say. Even thought you might have a break, my suggestion is to stop by at [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MoS[/words] occasionally, to keep your mind in the game. That way it'll be easier to get to the physical program of PE.
That's what I've done at least, in the past; I've had some minor accidents, flus and so on, but still I come over to check [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MoS[/words], to keep my head in the game, maybe consider different routines and more.

I'm also curious to know what a one week break from PE would be like. If I take one week off from doing any PE, will I lose my gains?

You won't lose the gains that have already cemented; gains that are underway could diminish a little bit. But one week isn't that much, really. I haven't had bad loss of gains despite several longer breaks due to skin breakouts and whatnots.

It is as long the break is within a limit; don't let that one week grow to another, then a month ... Taking time to inhale and relax is important, but one must focus on the process!
Whenever I had to take a physical break, I wouldn't take so much of mental break; I'd read threads on [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MoS[/words] and soak up in information.
I'm basically repeating myself once again here. :-)

A break here or there, as long as it stays as a short one, is fine. And of course people have surgeries and such but still return to PE without big losses of gains.

Excellent advice Ark! So glad you are posting again, I missed your presence!
 
I've been on a long break myself and now getting back to it. I know everyone is different but I'm really hoping that in a week when I start using the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?83577-Length-master-official-order-thread-now-shipping-06-16-2014!!!]LM[/words] and [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98 ]BM[/words] again that I explode in gains like I did when I first got them. It would be amazingly awesome and I've got my fingers crossed it happens but won't be devastated if it doesn't.

Reconditioning my skin to all the pulling again is painful. It almost hurts as much as the possible loss of gains I could have gotten if I wouldn't have been forced into a break. Oh well, only 2 ways to go from here - longer and thicker!

Lost gains do come back within the first month of training

I lost almost nothing. The last month I was actively training it was tapering down from 5-6 days a week down to 1-2. The slow down in training was due to life going on and it seemed to lock in my gains. I got lucky and I'm happy for it.

Nothing like knowing your gains are there for good! Do you plan to go beyond on the low?

I'm getting back into it and still have a 7.5-8" BPEL goal in my head or when my wife tells me she's seen the benefits of PE and that I'm on the verge of being too big and to stop.

Not a bad verge to be on :)
 
since our gains are so incremental, my SO seems to be expanding in lock-step to my growth...no matter how much I've gained, I'm always able to reach her back wall and rub against it, but I was able to to that at 7 1/2" too

I am doing almost no PE every year during the summer break (1.5 months). Zero losses but new maximum BPFSL measurements one week after restarting PE.

I so much hate off days. I took yesterday off and I will also be taking Sunday off as well. I feel quite sad about all this off days. But your post motivated me.

Two approaches exist in my understanding:

1. The way of the mind: Mind wants gains Now. Exercises are planned and the optimum would be to train 24/7.

2. The way of intuition (way of the gut): Intuition is in the Now. Exercises are started based upon libido, feedback of the penis (degree of exhaustion) or time at hand.


I can't do the way of the mind - it puts me under too much pressure. I feel comfortable with this principle in an environment that relies heavily on planning but it took some time to gain trust and sort out some problems in regard to that principle. A predominant feeling which speaks against the principle of intuition is the fear of loss.

You are right. As long as the off days is not too much, the already made gains will always be there.

I'd say they will not go away at all. Just through ageing itself.

Most men I have seen here are extremely focussed on gains. That is all they care about. With that attitude you can't really go the way of intuition. Then in the way of the mind fear arises.

Bodybuilders show the same fear, fear of muscle loss. If BB are juiced they are so afraid to loose the muscles that they don't dare to go off steroids. Then I have seen interviews of famous trainers who put them off steroids on purpose just to show them that they can still function and make gains even without steroids.

When I didn't play the keyboard for 2 weeks I come back and do different things, somehow I have learnt. Everything I have done has surprisingly high tolerance for taking breaks.
 
Damn you guys are going deeper than Jacques Cousteau :)
