what are your opinions?

If your ligaments still ache from the previous days workout should you have a rest day (possibly helping to promote recovery and growth?) or fight through any discomfort and continue stretching anyway?

 

[REDZULU2003]

I have done both. If its a really dull ache maybe rest a day but honestly its personal choice because if you rest this or work through it you will still gain. I see a potential problem if you work it too intensely afterwards for say 7 days on going at it like a man possessed, you may have problems then but otherwise work ahead.

thanks for the response mate, will take the advice

Work through it, embrace the soreness, make you penis larger even if it is sore

 

[Mdoc]

haha, ok boss, will do!

For me, sore ligaments are not to be rested. They're not muscles so they don't heal the same. Muscles need rest. Ligaments will respond by thickening or toughening. Don't let this happen.

I could not agree more, sore ligaments are a sign that they need to be stretched more!

I've got to spend a couple of weeks away from home, staying at afriends apartment. It's not going to be possible for me to exercise with the same routine everyday while I'm there, however I don't want to stop and potentially hinder any gains. If I continued with a shorter light routine (say while in the shower a few btc stretches and 30 second up and down stretches) would that work for maintenance?

p.s I know it's a change of topic to the original thread question however just need some advice quickly as I'm leaving tomorrow. Thanks

 

[Mdoc]

sorry going on a bit here, probs too much coffee. Just checked the maintenance section on the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]MOS[/words] members guide, will try and perform it, not sure if I'll be able to get the jelqs in but will be back home at weekends to hit my normal routine hard anyway so no probs. Thanks again for the lig ache advice. Peace

There's no reason you can't do exaggerated-angle stretches to keep the ligs sore. In my experience it takes about a month for them to stop being sore.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Yup takes allot of time. We have a guide about ligaments on the forums which suggests around 4-6 weeks for full healing to take place.

 

[Mdoc]

cool, cool, good to hear its 4-6 weeks for full healing as I'm back on the Penis Enlargement now I'm home. Was able to keep up a light routine while away, 300 jelqs here and there in the shower and some A-stretches

Not a clear answer. It depends.
But mostly my answer will be: NO.
