Hi Gymnasts!

I did my exercises this morning and I was curious (blast my curious mind)...does rest day actually mean rest day for you or do you do things like fowlers on rest day?

Thoughts?

When I started using hangers, in 2002, the bib hanger (The LG hanger was not invented until 2011) coupled with manual exercises, at first I followed the recommendations of the seven day work out week. It was suggested that bigger, would do heavy workouts five days a week and hIs in home office, and a Light workouts on the weekends.

As a scientist I duplicated that For a period of time, and it was helpful. But I'm also aware of kinesthetic (body feel) sense, and often times your body will tell you when to take a rest, and allow the tissue to recover. At first it was mind over matter and seven days a week, Come hell or high water. Then, I notice, my body or more specifically my penis Signal a rest day or two would be helpful. Therefore when I am asked about this, my answer is to PE most days of the week, rather than every day of the week with the caveat of doing light manual workouts on the off day if desired. I've found this true in weightlifting to, the body will tell you that it is tired and does not feel like lifting weights, On a particular day. So I trust in my kinesthetic/Feel sense, with the end result being, listen to your body and have a feel for the best blend of time and days spent.

Rest days should be reserved for mental rest as well- which means you should do your best to avoid pondering your training or about your penis. Enforcing this will help to ensure you avoid training burnout.
