Should i take a week break to help break thru plateau ?

I've been using a SizeGenetics - Penis Traction Extender penis extender since August and have gained 0.6 inches, increasing from 5.7 inches to 6.5 inches, with a bone-pressed measurement of about 7 inches at times.

I've noticed my gains have slowed, and I'm considering a one-week break to break this plateau.

What do you all think? Thanks in advance.

Why take a break if you do not have an injury i would not break. If your gains have slowed i suggest you increase time and intensity to get you to continue to grow.

Thank you for your response.

I believe it would be wise to take a break to allow my penis time to recover, as suggested in this post:


While I wouldn’t say I have any injuries or nerve damage, lately I’ve noticed that my penis hasn’t been getting hard without stimulation. This may be due to my recent increase in daily �naked people movies� use.


So, it seems that ED might not be related to penis extension, but just constantly whacking off. I know i need to stop lol.

However, if taking a break is not such a good idea, should increase my duration ? I usually do, 4-5 hours a day. 2 hours here, break, 2-3 hours later in the evening. Should i up the hours ? i also don't want to overstretch on my extender.

PIED can and is a serious problem to have. Do be careful on this.

As DLD said, why stop? Most will reduce the intensity during a light break just to keep the tissues loaded with blood and malleable as you come back into the routines. But by increasing the intensities while holding those intensities for a longer time period per repetition, the stress loading will open avenue to breaking through the plateaus.

Since you only use the extender, it's a static tension against your tissues. What DLD suggested is to break through with a high intensity load, say 4kg for 30 minutes, or even 5kg based on where you are for 20 minutes, and reduce back to 1.1 or 1.2kg for the rest of the wear time. However, wearing it alone is not enough. A stretching routine should be added to loosen up the tissues around the entire penis so the tissues can effectively be stretched. Let us know of your routines first, not just you put on the extender and forget about the rest.

Yes brother. Do stop. It will harm you in the long run.

Yes. You can increase the tension in short burst, and reduce to lower tension below 1.1kg for the long wear time.

Thank you for your recommendations.

Yeah, I have just been using an extender only. I don't do any other routine, but just put coconut oil on my penis and put the extender on.

What stretching routine would you recommend? Would you happen to have a video demonstration of this routine, if possible?

SRT - Suppressed-Restricted-Transposition Theory is the best routine to use. If able to do the entire routine do so as it is the most powerful way to gain

Thanks for sharing. I will give it a shot. Curious, is it possible to gain more than 2 inches with PE, either done through extension, hanging, etc.?

I heard somewhere after someone gains 1 inch, it gets harder to gain another inch, but I am curious about your thoughts.

As our founder DLD indicated, the SRT has a full list of videos. You can find all types of videos for manual stretches under the Resources and Programs:

It allows you focus on all types, from manual hand works to device assisted, or even the standard poor man's method using a broomstick.

Don't approach hanging yet. Yes, you can achieve 2 inches. I already have and exceeded it. Our brother squirt_inducer_man (SIM) already documented this in his logs through month-by-month tracking. Many brothers also documented as well, but since personal preference of showing off their penises may not be in their favor, they only report their results.

That is incorrect. After 1 inch of gain, they may hit a hard plateau. This is due to improper methods of approaches. Why? Thy went too hard, too fast, and gained like a madman. However, the body fights back because they approached PE too aggressively. It's about check and balance, focusing on length, then girth, then length, and keep switching to prevent the body from fully adapting to the changes.

So happy you're going to use SRT. You will not regret it. With Srt you can gain even more than 3 inches. Start gentle and as time goes by increase intensity until you go to your max

Will consider the bundle at some point, it seems i need alot of equipment excluding the extender that i already have, but fair enough. I think my next move is to buy the bathmate. I kinda steered away from them, after hearing that the gains are only temporary, but that could be because most people don't stick to the routines for more than a month which is why their gains are only temporary.

Curious, if my extender noose keeps slipping off, is that indication that im over extending ? should i minimize the rod size / reduce the tension ? It only seemed to start slipping when i went up in rod sizes. I guess im over extending, but i know i need to add more intensity to break through my plateau, but i also don't want to injury myself.

Think carefully about buying a Bathmate since it does offer both water/air with ease of carrying conveniences, but it lack the gauge for safety purposes. Do compare other pumping system with the safety features similar to the MityVac - Wet and Dry Penis Vacuum Pump System.

Gains are not temporary if you use the devices consistently. You must keep up with the routines until the gains are cemented into permanents. I can tell you that the brothers have solid permanent gains, but you must not stop until the gains are solid and permanent. The cementing process is normally 4 to 6 months past the last gains you want to stop at. I can tell you, some of brothers here, both hidden with mininal posting and actively posting, went past their initial plans. I'm not joking with you when I say they have stallion penises that even scare the size queens out there.

Yes, it is an indicator that you placed too much traction tension on the skin that cannot support the tension at the moment. On top of that, your penis may not have the proper wrapping where the foreskin is allowing the internal penis tissues to shrink and slide right off. Most traction devices (extenders) recommend you to pull your foreskin back, wrap the base of the glans with good traction tapes/wrapping for the noose/strap to grip on to. It will make the glans uncomfortable after a few hours of wearing .Wrap it correctly, and you'll have great comfortable tractions for hours on end.

barnyowl said:

Click to expand...

Yes. Only achive 1.1kg or so after the initial hour of higher traction, which an be up to 5kg. 800g is fine. But 1.1kg is the most optimal traction load for your penis going past 1 hour of initial traction load.

Breaking through plateaus is not about pushing heavy weights for long hours. Pushing through plateaus is about breaking through the tough tissues with strong traction initially, and remain at low traction for longer hours. It's a misconception to remain at high traction force for ultra long hours (6 to 12 hours). It's about breaking the tissues at high traction at first, and lower it down.

Wow all this time, i only thought i could grow no more than 2 inches the max, but id reckon getting more than 2 inches will many years right ? i know the admin was able to grow 2 inches in 6 months, which is great, but not everyone will not have that level of gains in a short amount of time.

Thanks for sharing, its very eye opening.

Nope. Most younger brothers less than 30 years of age can gain 2in in less than a year since their bodies are still primed for reproductive growth for the last phase of reproduction. Those who are older than 30 have less growth potential but can still achieve 1.5in in a year, but average is around 1in. At worst, 0.5in.

Those who reach plateaus after 2in tend to overworked the penis and made the internal tissues too thick and too fast. They have to work even harder to break the tissues down. Those who play smart by easing up tend to go past 2in with no issues, and some can gain an average of an inch per year playing safe to prevent the tissues from becoming too thick too fast.

In reality, everyone is different. No one has the same amount of drive, the available time, and the budget to tackle the penile growth. We also have medical, emotional, physical, and hidden issues to deal with. Not everyone is equal in that aspect. But if we are all the same across the board, 2in per year can easily be achieved.
