Girth and rest.

I hear a lot that people make gains during their off days, but what about girth? It seems that my girth temporarily expands after I jelq, but by the next morning it is back to normal. So when people say they gain after taking a few days off, does that include girth as well?

It includes girth even more than girth. :)

I’m sorry, I didn’t understand. Did you mean it includes girth even more than length?

The girth gain you get after your workout is just a post-workout pump. Like lifting at the gym, your tissues are flooded with blood and being expanded past their resting state. The next day they have recovered and gone back to ALMOST the original size. But what PE does by over expanding those tissues is slowly break them down and stretch them, so their natural resting state gets bigger and bigger. Let’s say you normal girth is 10 (not inches, just the number). After you PE your girth is 13, the tissues have had extra blood forced into them and they are stretching. You go to bed, and when you wake up your girth is 10.2. And so it continues until your resting girth, before working out, is 13. And so you keep climbing.

Ah ok thanks Continental, that was a great explanation!

I mean, girth work requires more rest than length work, on average.

Nice post, TheContinental .

Off days are for old people that have less elastic and resilient connective tissue

Young guys have to be consistent in their workouts, can’t just take days off that are not in the routine, that will not work, the filaments in young people are more resistant and so have to be a bit “over done”. E.g. If you do a routine for 1h for 4 days at the 4th day it will be over done and you should take 1 day off.

The above is especially relevant for girth and jelqing

I’m not recommending long breaks for these guys that have been PM for less than 4 months and you should have some results as well the first 4 months (0.75 cm to 2.5 cm).

Please don’t listen to or be critical to the almost-crap workout analogy between penis’ meat and muscles meat.

I completely disagree with that statement.

I am in my early twenties and rest days for me have been the key to my gains. It may seem that attempting PE three, four or five days in a row may be productive, but it is not, especially in terms of girth, rest is needed. Although length workouts are a whole different story.

Not the advice I would give someone new to PE.

I was talking form experience, and I have my data which is the simple statistics at TP.

Privately I have compared the measurement systematically with the routine durations and off-days.

I can only give you credit that I have increased a lot more in length than in girth*, but on the other side this is common.

*One can argue that I would have increased more in girth if I had more systematical off-days (I had 5 on 2 off).

I’ve been PEing for about 3 weeks now and I’ve seen some incremental gains but my dick measures different depending on the day, just a few days ago I hit almost 7” NBPEL (about 7 1/2” BPEL) but now I’m back to 6.7” NBPEL, generally my schedule is 3-4 days PE and 1 day off and I tend to PE pretty intensely during a session. Do you think 3-4 days of PE and 1 day rest is too much on my dick?

One thing I have learned in the couple years I have been reading thunders is that DIFFERENT PEOPLE RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO PE.

So you can’t make blanket statements like “days off are for old people”.

I’ve read of “young” people who do fine with no days off. I’ve read of “young” people who do best at one day on/two days off, etc

I’ve read of people who find that doing 30 mins of edging on off day really improves erection quality and helps cement gains.

I’ve read of people who find that doing 30 mins of edging on off days DESTROYS their EQ and causes intense turtling.

What does the above mean? Especially the second part

(About the >[age] and <[elasticity and resilient of the connective tissue] is a fact statistically and eventually (>>age), and it has a relevant impact on PE)

Please don’t think I am attacking you. All I am saying is that you cannot assume that what works for you is going to work for 100% of thunders members.

Of course you should ABSOLUTELY share your knowledge because some people will probably respond to PE the same as you. And they will find it very helpful.

But not everybody will respond like you. So you can’t assume that your experience is going to work for everybody.

It means that if some guys edge for 30 minutes on their non-workout days, they can not get a good hard-on later and their flaccids shrink up.

That is not how edging on off-days affects me — it makes my hard-ons better and keeps my flaccid nice and plump.

However there is no way I can say - “EVERYBODY MUST DO EDGING IT WILL MAKE YOU HARDER.” Because that is not true - it makes some less hard.

I can however say - “Edging works for me and a lot of others, and it may work for you. Try it out and see what happens to your erection quality. If it doesn’t work don’t do it.”

Certainly, But then you can likewise understand that some “young” people might have less resilient connective tissue that you do. And conversely some “old” people might have very elastic connective tissue.

There isn’t any data that could back-up your assertions, Aries. They are based on naive pre-concepts.

If you are not here to share your ‘knowledge’, please at lest avoid misinforming people.

You have been a member for some time now. and I assume that when you started your PE journey you read and gained knowledge from other members.

This is a forum to help people with their desire to gain a better penis. If everyone took the attitude you wish to take, you would not have had the experience of others to help with your gains

Naturally if you do not wish to share knowledge that is your decision.

But why do you bother to post in the Forum?
