decon break in pumping?

Is pumping something that will get the best results by doing it constantly over a longer period for about six months?

Or is it effective to pump for 6 weeks and after it have a break of 3 weeks? Then repeat this cycle again?

It depends a lot on your pump routine. If you go for minimal trauma using pressures in the 4”hg zone you can probably go for long periods with only taking one day breaks as you go.

If you are using higher pressures in the 6”hg range, perhaps your second scenario would work best.

It’s hard to pick a one size fits all schedule. They are all pretty much a custom fit. But one thing that is fairly constant is that when results start to diminish it is time to take a break of some sort.

I have pumped one month after a long break of at least three months, with a lot of heat of the ir-lamp.

My gain has been 0.5 cm lost lenght plus 0.5 gain new length.

With the constant heating I do go to pressures in the 6”hg range.

In a former pe period the same has happened. I hung weights with a redi-stretcher with contant heating of the ir lamp also gained 0.7 m new length in a few weeks.

I’m sort of on a decon break right now. Been like 3 weeks since my last good pump. Unit definitely feels less beefy but according to the tape I haven’t lost anything — yet.

That’s impressive!!!

I know he reaches above my head now.

:) And you think you need a de-con break??
