Gains after deconditioning break

I am going to take my first week break since I started PE last year, I sometimes take a day off on the weekend but I feel stuck at 6.9/7BPEL

I haven’t done hardcore jelqing in a while, and did a session last night with intense jelqs and I got the donut effect. I haven’t had this effect in 6 months. My dick hasn’t been sore from PE in forever, as well. I haven’t lost any gains, but it FEELS like I’m about to have more gains.

I think I gained in girth after this summer vacation.
Don’t know how this is possible, I was quite fatigue before the summer break. It was fairly active vacation and I unintentionally got more fit (lost 2 kg, FYI my BMI 19.8), had very good sleep, the only PE I did is a single stretch after being to the loo/shower. Maybe my Testosterone is just higher now.

I haven’t measured it yet, because I wanted to do some weeks of PE before I do that (do gain even more). But I noticed after a week now of PE (after the summer break) that the girth is somehow ‘back to normal’, I don’t know.. Maybe I got used to the gains. Maybe my 1 h routine is too much (stretching for 20 min and 40 min jelqing, 5 of 7 days)

Any thoughts on this, similar experience maybe.

PS: I haven’t experienced anything like this in my previous breaks equally long (4-6 weeks)

Took a six month break recently. I got back into hanging again. The weights I could handle were like when I first started and I gained almost a half inch already. I think some of this was recouping maybe 1/4” I lost over the break, but I am up over my previous best measurement now, so I made some progress on top of recouping what I lost already. It has only been maybe a month now. Maybe a week more at this point.
