One week on One week off Concept

I’m interested if anyone has attempted 7 days On – 7 days Off Routine for girth and an everyday routine for length. I believe that the ligaments need constant tension (everyday) I.e. To stretch it out into a permanent elongated length. With regard to the girth, correct me if I’m wrong, requires a long healing period.

Any comments? I’m entertaining this concept; however, if anyone has tried this and it does not have merit, please let me know.

Without giving force/time ranges… and your PI’s…its really a meaningless question.

For example, if you clamp for 1 minute…you may be able to do that productively 10X a day.

If you’re hanging with 40 lbs…it might take 3 days to recover properly.

Lets say, you can clamp daily for 15 minutes…but perhaps I would need 3 days off to recover.

Physiologic Indicators (PI’s) are critical in developing or conveying any routine, otherwise its just taking wild shots in the dark.

Sparkyx,

Thanks for the comments. I did read the thread on PI - it is a very good one especially on morning wood. This thread was triggered by the numerous threads I’ve been reading on members coming back from a break that have gained. This leads me to believe that a deconditioning break is conductive to gains. I’m interested in concept of frequent deconditioning breaks. Is this feasible or should I stick with the PI concept?

The concepts are not mutually exclusive.

I too am experimenting with micro-cycles.

The concept of PI’s boil down to this…base your PE on whats actually occurring to your dick from the force/time/recovery you are applying.

Try anything you like, but don’t just do it and hope it will work…do it and SEE if its working!

Get that?

In trying the microcyle, I did one day on, took one day off. Measured bpfl both days.

Then I tried one on, two off and measured again…everyday…sometimes twice.

I found by the second day off, I was starting to contract.

So for the force/time levels I’m CURRENTLY USING…based on by actual physical reaction (PI’s) one on, one off is most productive. (now if I change my force/time parameters significantly…it could easily change the one on, one off cycle to something else.)

Could I then say for you, don’t do two days off? Of course not!

I use very short times with low to moderate forces. For example I hang 7.5 lbs for 2 sets of 5 minutes…thats just a friggin warm up for most guys!

By observing MY PI’s…I have found that I need to use much less force/time than whats usually discussed here…or I go backward quickly.

So lets say you decide that 15lbs of hanging for 3 sets of 20 minutes is what you want to do. Fine.

After your done…what happens?

How is the flaccid for the rest of the day, how is nite and morning wood? And above all, what is happening with your size?

You may find that it’s all bad for about 6 days…then on the 7th day…VOILA’ you find an extra inch of length and girth!

So, for you, a one on six off is fantastic! There is your cycle! Deconditioning break built in!

Lets just say you pump with really low vacuums…1-2 in hg.

Lets just say you make slow steady gains for 2 weeks then it stops.

Well, the decon break may only need to be 4 days because at that low force, you get almost no tissue damage and toughening.

Maybe you just need to up it 1 in hg and you’re back in business for another 3 months.

How will you know unless you keep close watch on your PIs? Especially measurements!

On the other hand, lets say you hang and you have slowly pushed your weights up to 50 lbs and you haven’t seen any gains since 20 lbs and 1 year ago?

What you have effectively been doing is just making a beef jerky dick and you may need 3 months of decon to begin to get any gains at all again…or more!

PI’s are important because they are the actual effect your PE is having. It is the way to DETERMINE if what your doing… is doing what you intend.

No matter what approach you use to make a bigger dick…if you aren’t watching and keeping track of whats actually happening to your unit…you are just taking wild guesses and praying something happens…not a real good approach!

Sparkyx,

Thanks for taking the time to comment on this thread. The PIs definitely needs to be closely tracked to see how my dick reacts to assess the optimum on/off days. The ruler does not lie.

Your welcome and RIGHT!!!

While I don’t recall anyone trying it, why not give a go? Do a couple cycles and report back.

The only way we’re ever going make real progress around here is if guys state what they honestly believe and then back it up with either science or first-hand experience. Anything else should be construed as just mindless chatter by arm-chair dick yankers.

MX,

Thanks for the comments. I’m a creature of habit and at this point I will stick to my routine of 5 days on and 2 days off; however, I will give this a try at some point when I need to shock my dick into growth.
