Should I take this week off from PE?

[GymRatGuy]

Hey guys!

I'm still a newbie and am 35 days into a modified JP 90 day w/ Bathmate as a warmup - routine. I'm wondering if next week I should take off because I'm traveling to the East coast from Tuesday - Tuesday or should I incorporate a mini routine while on the go? I'm going to be staying at my sister's place and my aunts so I really wont have any consistency. I've heard some members have had great success with taking a week off every 6 weeks and letting the gains come in. So I'm just wondering what the general consensus is about breaks/should I just continue with 2 on 1 off?

Thanks in advance guys!

It's still early, I would do some manual work for at least a few days

I agree. If you were a veteran at this stuff, I'd say differently. However, you just started and the most important thing is making sure you establish a routine that doesn't inhibit what you're doing in your daily life.

I would not worry about taking a week off!.

Taking a week off isn't going to make any real difference. If you're busy visiting people and privacy may be an issue I'd just take a break. Or maybe just do light manual exercises and leave the bathmate at home.

Stay with the routine for a while to make a habitual part of your life allowing your penis and brain to really become accustomed to the resistance. This is part of conditioning. I advise (unless your are suffering injury) against it.

Within the first 2-3 months I would say to all members to try to stay as consistent as possible, just to get your units conditioned. Do what you can, i.e. if you can't do your jelqing, then replace it with extra stretches etc.

I was consistent with the JP90 routine first and foremost because I have struggled with discipline and knew if I took breaks I'd fail to adopt it as a life routine. So if you're anything like me I would suggest continuing, even if lightly.

Yeah I'm really not bad with consistency I'm sure I can probably get in 5mins of jelqing a day and the stretching that i do in... will probably shower to warm up (leave bathmate at home) but don't see myself being able to edge for my usual 20+ mins. Okay I"ll stick to stretches and my jelqs/v-jelqs/uli's thanks guys I really appreciate it..

This month is really going to mess me up after I get back I'm home for alil more than a week then driving to San antonio from El Paso... 3 days down there and back to EP. Lol at least after that I will have my PE and Gym time back..

Yeah, if you trust yourself in taking a break from PE, then by all means, go ahead. I just remember when I first started working out in the gym during my own time. If I didn't stick to a schedule, I often found myself stopping altogether.

You can take a break but most breaks turn into vacations.

 

[thenewdude]

There is nothing wrong with taking breaks after one has been accustomed to PE because it has already become a part of one's life. This really applies to most things in life that we force ourselves to get used to again making it habitual.

 

[Rasputine]

Breaks only turn into vacations if you allow it to
take place.
As hard as some beginners on their johnson:help:
they should give there dicks a break

 

[thenewdude]

Again you missing the key word - habitual. Common sense tells us this applies to those who have been PE'ing (or anything) for a good period of time.

Very true I'm back off my trip and man trying to PE was hard I honestly only got the chance to twice an actual workout with stretching and jelqing barely 15 mins but didn't edge all week. Got back this week and edging feels twice as hard... I was mostly painting, doing hard labor and not really sleeping much on my trip but coming back to PE this week has been hard. My routine seems way too tough so I'm cutting it back abit and i feel my gains have faded away... sigh.

Oh well If I have to start over from scratch I will lol

I think if your able to continue with 2 days on 1 day off then do so.

I personally have stayed consistent from the beginning and it has payed off.

Not sure that 1 week make a huge difference but you make choises yourself. You have just started so just keep at it!
