Rest days when pumping.

In all PE routines I have seen there are rest days included but when I started to read about pumping and pumping routines I didn’t read anything about resting days. Is this not needed when pumping?

As I have learned. If you are pumping for girth at low (LUV=length under vacuum) then you don’t really need a day off unless you are feeling sore. If you are pumping for length or even pumping past your normal EL then I think a day off or two is needed :)

Maybe clubber can pitch in? I think he’s a big pumper.

I see no decrease in EQ so I pump almost everyday. But maybe rest days are needed anyway like in other PE forms. Give the unit a day or two to recover and produce gains.

Yeah I hear you. I tend to take weekends off, or even just Sunday when I was pumping. I’m giving my unit a rest just now until I get my BM fixed.

I believe in Avocet’s 101 routine (at the top of the page) he notes a weekend break. From my experience so far I feel that the lower the pressure being used the less rest that is likely to be required.

This is one of the most debated topics on the pumpers forum. I still don’t know which is best; rest days or no rest days.

There is a study on Wikipedia that showed that length increase was a side effect of pumping twice at day for 10 minutes when trying to correct Peyronie’s curvature. The pressure and amount of days from this study interests me because it found significant results for the length increase. I think you may have to purchase to the full journal article to view it or if you go to a university use your student privileges to search for the study to see their protocol for number of days and if they had breaks.

OK. I think some rest days now and then are good. And I do other types of PE also so I need rest days and I suppose that pumping on rest days from jelqing is a bad idea.

I rest on the weekends to fuck my GF.

I will say the even at low pressure and 5 minute cycles my dick get sore during the week.

I believe that two days of rest is itself sufficient.
If you do not want to rest days, just pump in less time.

For example I instead of pumping long sections I do just 30 minutes these days.

Hey baywatch, are you using Bagman’s method of recycling pressure from 5” down to 1” every 5 minutes? I read that article recently and thought it might be worth having a go at his suggested regimen.

So if someone did two 10-15 minute pump sessions per day during the week, but stopped during the weekend, would this be enough rest?

Rest to fuck? Can’t fuck the days you pump?

I do. But, I find my dick feeling a little fatigued after a good pump session followed by a long fuck session. I’m usually ok the next day, but I’ll give myself a day of rest if mmy dick still feels fatigued. If I don’t I’ll pump almost everyday. Sometimes 6 on and 1 off or sometimes I’ll go 5 on 2 off. I think it depends on the individual. So fellas; listen to your dick!
