Cardiovascular Fitness and Gains

I was doing some thinking about my PE history and I finally realized that there may be a link between my gains and my fitness levels at the time of gaining. I’ve made gains in three separate periods.

1) When I first started PE I was still in high school. At the time, I was training for a sport and the majority of my training involved weightlifting and plyometrics but I would sometimes train for up to two hours at a time. I would imagine that I built some sort of cardiovascular endurance through these extended training sessions. I gained a minimal amount of girth, maybe a 1/8”, and probably 1/4-1/2” in length. I’m not exactly sure how much I gained because my measuring was a bit questionable. I made some gains, but they were not that huge and they were probably just newbie gains.

2) After I graduated college I wanted to drop some weight so I began doing a mix of high intensity interval training and regular cardio. Over a period of several months I grew about 3/4” in length and once again gained minimal girth. Some of this girth may have been from losing my fat pad but I probably only lost about 10 lbs of fat or so, so I believe that most of this was the real deal. At the time, I was doing cardiovascular exercise 5 or 6 days per week and I was in excellent shape.

3) Recently I began a more intense clamping routine where I clamped just about everyday and sometimes twice per day. I gained nearly 1/4” in girth in less than a month. At first I thought that clamping was the end-all way for me to gain girth but I continued that routine for some time but never gained anything more. Just recently I remembered that I had been on a cardio kick for about a month or so before starting my clamping routine. I hadn’t gotten in as good of shape as I had been directly after college but I was getting there. I ended up quitting my cardio kick and focusing on weightlifting.

So, I’m wondering: does anyone else have similar experience?

Also, FYI, I’ve got some lifting goals right now with which doing cardio would interfere. Once I get to those goals, I’ll get back on the cardio and see what happens.

Both lifting and cardio are great for penis health as long as you don’t catabolize from over exercising.

over exercising is a problem I have.

I tend to overdo it and end up working out for 2-3 hours at a time and that pretty much negates a lot of positive effects of exercise so you tend to lose muscle,strength and feel tired for the next 2 or 3 days as a result.

I’ve rectified my mistake by doing no more than 15 mins for each bodypart & having no more than 45sec breaks between sets. For my smaller muscle groups (bicep/tricep/calves,etc..) I rest between 15-30 secs between each set.

This gives me an incredible cardio workout aswell as working my muscles. I have to drop the weights to a medium capacity so my benches for example may only go up to 50 or 60 kg where I’d usually go up to 70-80 (not including the weight of the olympic bar) but it’s worth it at the end as you do your weights routine in around 30-40mins followed by 30-40 mins of cardio and 10mins stretching and then you’re good to go.

I’ve started doing this 2weeks ago and the difference in how you feel is amazing!

What I will do is every 6 weeks or so I’ll have a week of heavy weights sessions where I get up to my maximum weight limits,shock the f#c! out of my muscles and then get right back into the shorter more intense routine,maybe with one or 2 new exercises in place of others.

Incidentally my penis & ,just as importantly, sex drive are loving this new way of training. Yesterday for example I was horny ALL DAY LONG! and my dick was in that semi erect state the whole time.Even after doing a full on PE routine in the afternoon followed by a 30min edging session in the evening it was still plump & full and it’s the same way this moning :)

So keep it short,sweet and to the point in the gym and your body (and penis) will thank you for it.

I know I’ve read people on this site talking about working out their lower body and how the increased blood flow to that region helped. II don’t see as strong of a connection with weights and PE as with cardio and PE but that’s what’s been said.

I wanted to add that when I gained 3/4” in length, I always did PE before lifting or running. I also said that I did cardio 5 or 6 days per week but that’s wrong. I lifted 3 days per week and did cardio 2 or (usually) 3 days per week, but when I did cardio it was intense regardless of whether it was HIIT or steady-paced cardio.

incidentally-cardio becomes even more effective when done after a weights session.

I don’t have a link to any articles on it but I remember reading that due to the efforts during weight training your body has used up a good amount of energy so when you hit the cardio the only source of energy it can use to keep going is fat.So you tend to lose fat much quicker by doing your cardio after your weights routine as fat is the only energy source it has left to target.

If anyone has any links to articles on this I’d be grateful :)

Here’s a thread with discussion.

Cardio before or after weights training

This is about as good of an article as you’ll find on fat loss. I’ve lost fat while gaining muscle using this "method" multiple times. It’s all about making your body want to lose fat instead of just wanting to lose any weight it can. It’s very much worth the read.

thanks Wangchun-good article.
