In Need of Cementing Routine

[DryJelq]

Over the past few months I have been resting and trying to recover from an injury. In the past 2 months I've been doing a very modest routine about 2-3 times per week. Mostly I've been trying to concentrate on edging consistantly.

Recently I upp'd my routine to include a few Uli's. No more than 5 reps per workout. I've definitely been gaining. However my EQ is starting to suffer.

When I edge it gets much thicker, but its not as hard. This has always been my plateau and if I refrain from working out and rest I lose my gains. If I continue to plug away with my routine I usually injure myself.

I feel like I need a routine to cement my gains before i can continue with my regular workout.

If anyone has some advice please help me.

You can slowly reduce your regular routine over time and gradually get to were you are doing nothing but a very light maintenance routine a couple times a week, dont fret because you can maintain with very little work and this will help to cement your gains.
An example of cementing would be that if you jelqued from 50 reps in the beginning and increased to 250 over a year you could slowly start to drop reps and basically go backwards untill you get back to where you started.
after that you can just do a very light wrkout a couple times a week and you should mantain your gains. You could possibly even just measure and when you hit what you believe to be your bottom line you could incorperate some light exercises to stay where you want. Sya if you hit 7.00 and didnt seem to be losing or losing very very slowly you could set a limit at 6 and 7/8th or 6 and 3/4ths and if you hit that then you could just get on with it again for a few workouts a week and do it that way.
My personal plan is to get where I want and then do manual as a maintenance routine for the rest of my life. Its a life long thing for me and I will go all manual to also provide penis health into my golden years.

I did a quick edging routine. Took me 15-20 min. It took a while but eventually I got it up to a 10 EQ. I measured 5.5 MEG 100% erect. Usually it's only that thick when I'm about 80%. I don't think I've ever measured 5.5 100% erect.

The thing I'm worried about is that after I break my plateau with some gains, my EQ goes to sh*t. At least normally that happens to me.

DryJelq i've realised that about EQ, but was never really bothered because it always comes back in the end

What gives me trouble is that when my EQ returns, my gains go away. I can never seem to get my EQ back without my gains going away.

I wonder if that relates to the inner tire/outer tire analogy...

Ya that's what I'm thinking. My tunica gets stretched out. And I lose my EQ. Then I stop PE and my tunica tightens up again and I get my EQ back. This has been my plateau seemingly forever. The only thing I can think to do is to reduce the intensity of my workouts and increase the duration.

Lately my workouts have been short and intense. I think that perhaps to overcome this plateau I need to reduce intensity, but increase reps or time.

Anyone have any feedback here?

I reduced my workout to every other day and even included an extra day off of just edging.

And my EQ went down and I lost what I had gained slightly. Definitely showing some poor PIs.

This is very frustrating. It seems that maybe I'm not well conditioned enough for my current routine. I'm going to continue to decrease intensity while increasing time spent.
