When to take a long break?

[SubStance]

I decided after using the device for 3 months straight I am taking a week off. The reason for this is because it hurts on my pelvic bone and my ligaments are quite sore. My routine:

I started with the 12 hours a day.. well worked up to that for about two months, but from time constraints I lowered it to 9 hours.

After the 9 hours I would do manual exercises.
300 jelqs
50 supra slammers
then manual stretching

I feel I might be overworking myself cause my penis really hurts and I have not seen very big gains. about 1/4 of an inch... i know that sounds like a good amount but in the manual it says I should be up almost an inch.

I am just asking for advice.

Should I be taking this week off?

How often should we be taking a whole week off these exercises?

Hi mate,
A week off sounds like a good idea. Let yourself recover. If you are religious with the extender use, I would suggest that at least 1 day a week rest is a good idea and maybe a week off every couple of months. Rest periods are just as important as time wearing the device.

Your manual routine seems pretty intense to me as well, if you are doing this every day after wearing the device for 9 hours.

I suggest, 5 minute warmup cloth, LS x 1 rep, 15 second hold in each of the 5 directions as a warmup for applying the extender.

Extender use 9 hours, remove extender and warmup 5 minutes, 100 jelqs and 10 x 15 second squeezes to re engorge your stretched dick, warmdown to finish.

Cheers
Dazz

Hey SubStance...

I don't understand your measurements in your sig file. Does "EG" mean your length?
