Thanks for the welcome

You have an awesome forum and site here, the objective & experimental approach really appeals.

I've not really been doing Kegels long enough to form a judgement. At the moment I'm going for 2-4 sets of 100 quick reps, and 2-4 sets of 10-second PC holds, 10 reps a set - all spread throughout the day. All done well clear of muscular failure.

I understand the principle behind training hard & giving 48hrs rest, i.e. it's how you should train skeletal muscle for size and strength, e.g. classic bodybuilding.

My intuition with kegels was that what is most important is developing the neural highways and nerve innervation into the PC muscle so more of the muscle fibres that are already there are getting recruited and contracting harder. This is more aligned with the thinking behind functional strength training as opposed to bodybuilding.

Again it's just personal speculation so it'd be great to here from others. I'm going to stick with the everyday approach for 2 months or so, maybe taking 1 day a week off for recovery. I guess I'll judge it by erection strength, etc.
