Question from a beginner

[growingslow Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close growingslow]

Is three days off too much? It seems like my penis needs to recover. I'm thinking about taking a good little break, I've been at this for a month and have noticed some flaccid gains, but overall my EQ has gone down and after a workout, he is always tired and sad!! I took two days off last week and after that had my best flaccid day yet at 5.5. Can jelqing too hard cause this as well? Thanks.

Sounds like a negative PI. That routine of yours needs to be adjusted to be less intense.

Definately sounds like you need some time off and a re-evaluation of what exercises you are doing!!

The gentlemen have it right on. Rest and reevaluate. Maybe the grip is to hard, the intensity. Maybe you need to adjust to 3 days on and 1 off, etc. Let your unit recuperate, you only have one. Then go back after you reevaluate. read through the safety part of the beginner forum again. Good luck!
