I apologize for the delay in updateing my "Progress Log" (tried to ealier when writing to JonPop and after I finished the entry the whole @#$ screen when balnk and I lost everything !!..Hopefully that won't happen this time).
Anyway, since my "Measuring entries" entered above, I have taken a planned deconditiong/recovery phase/break in my PE for a total of ~3wks. as follows:
Wk. #1 -
NO structured PE AT ALL, BUT lots of lube for the "beef jerky" prevention
Wk. #2 - Kegles (2setsX30reps@1s./rep. 3-4X/wk.) and "random" jai streches (becoming daily towards the end of the wk.)
Wk. #3 - Kegles (1setX3reps@10s/rep with X2reps@1s/rep lead in 5X/wk.) and daily (5-6X@6s./stretch) Jai stretches
Started the "90 Day Program" promoted by JonPop on 9/21/08@~2130 with the following weekly structure:
Week 1 -
ALL recommended streches/Kegel combinations and Jelq
(without "rotary stretches" in Day 1 because I forgot @#$) at 50% time/rep. guidelines. ADDED downward(DWN) stretch (without Kegels) start @15s. static hold.
Week 2 - same a wk. 1 EXCEPT increasing stretches to full time and Jelq up to full guideline recommendations (start 35reps./ 20reps. and increased by 5reps./session respectively) time. Increase DWN stretch to 30s., and ADDED Uli X1@30-35s. at end of Jelq. Jai stretching now done daily (5-6X/day@6s/rep) now
.
Week 3 - same as wk. 2 Except ADDED "Fowfer" (I now have the length to do this
!) X1rep.@20min./rep.[the drive home]3X/wk. on workout days.
Week 4 - same as wk. 3 BUT have decrease Jelq to 100reps. "O.K. grip"(use under on 1st. 50rep set and over on 2nd.) and 60reps. V-Jelq do to time constraints and some tired hands!.
*NOTE: I am PEing 3X/wk. (M,W,F) as this fits my schedule best and is about as much as my unit seems to be able to handle at this time.
Well, that's it in a nutshell (no pun intended) and it looks as if my screen is still up !!
CONCERNS- Does "90 days" encompass ONLY training days or include off days?
- What is max. effectiveness jelq time and what is the maximum "break" time during a set and when should I "re-warm"?
- Should the stretching part of this routine have some progression in it?
??? Questions ????
Well, thats pretty much it for now, any feedback whould be appreciated especially from moderators/those more advanced in this pursuit than I. Thank you for your time.
