RKs overpowering normal kegels through squats and leg raises-->EQ loss

[Manonamission1791]

I was planning to take a break from pe for a couple of weeks as I noticed a huge loss of EQ and nonexistent morning wood. I have experienced fatigue before and it should have passed by now (5 days off). The thing is that I easily become aroused BUT my erection quality is 60% at best so that got me thinking. My kegel routine has been 50-50 kegels to rev. kegels. I do these every other day. However, I have been doing 60 squats and 60 leg raises DAILY. Some folks have mentioned that these exercises work exactly like RKs and are perhaps even more effective. Does it sound plausible to you guys that net RK effect became so huge compared to the kegels that it killed my erection? My pelvic floor seems more relaxed than ever right now so that makes it even more possible.
I have also experienced EQ loss in the past during my RK only routine. What would a proper ratio be? I mean one that takes into account the extra exercises that in effect work just like RKs. I was thinking something that favors normal kegels. Any thoughts?

What style of squat are you using? Do you get any involuntary kegels, are your currently doing any manual/device work?

Sounds like you're RKing too much, 70/30 in favor of RKs is what I have seen prescribed for balance - but it could just as easily be over training. When you say 50-50, does that mean the time it takes for you to do 60 squats + leg raises, you're taking roughly that amount of time and doing kegels?

I'd drop the RKing to 10 slow hindi squats twice per day, and keep the kegel intensity the same, and reassess. You're doing alot of volume on the RKs - I'd say weekly split isn't anywhere close to 50-50 because of the additional RK work.

I meant that the kegels alone are 50-50: 20 kegels, 20 reverse kegels, 20 root locks and 20 reverse root locks.
I used to do the above every other day + daily squats and leg raises.

It depends on the type of squat ,hindi squat for instance are rk type whereas overhead squat is more k.

You may have to play with the % k to rk I suspect there is a lot of individual vary in what causes balance even with the complication of squats etc.

I'm in the same boat as manonamission at the moment. I was doing 50 5sec RKs and 90 hindi squats 4 days per week for 5 weeks. My EQ is not great at the moment. Woke up with some morning wood today but was only about 50-60%.

It's interesting that squats have been mentioned as having an RK like effect. I'm wondering if I've done too many of these and normal RKs.

I'm currently taking some time off from pe exercises at the moment. I hope the 2 weeks rest will do some good but I feel that I may need to reverse the RK work and do normal kegels?

Squats do act as an RK substitute for me, so I generally just do K maintenance every other day. Unless you're doing a lot of squats in your regular exercise routine, the best ratio generally is 60:40, regular Kegels : RK to maintain balance, I've found.

 

[Manonamission1791]

I have decided to take that break after all. I am pretty sure that I overdid it with the RKs but I need the rest nonetheless.

what i would like to know the most is how is your stamina ? can you last long now that you RK'ed to the point of overdoing it... if tense pelvic muscles are the cause of PE and RK are the solution - judging from your current symptoms your pelvic floor should be completely loose and your should be lasting forever... is that true or not... how would you judge your stamina at the moment with completely exhausted pelvic muscles... thanks

Just about squats for pre e..... I still can not understand how doing squats is going to help with pre e. I squat a lot. I have done the smolov program where you squat 4 days a week, and I got up around the 2.5 times bodyweight squat there at one point whilst I was doing more powerlifting type training. For me squatting does nothing for pre e! I know everyone responds differently but for me it doesnt seem to change anything. Has anyone found that it does actually help? or can anyone explain HOW it is supposed to help?

Pre e and bad EQ can be the result of both too tense and too relaxed pelvic floor. My current EQ is not enough for proper intercourse and no, I can not last long. You need BALANCE to be able to last long. Having a relaxed pelvic floor with no strength won't do you any good.

Depends on the squat. I did a lot of deep flat foot squats. THOSE work like reverse kegels. However, pre e is caused by a number of things so do not expect to solve it just by doing squats. In my case, too many RKs caused a huge drop in EQ so you get my point.

I won't be visiting the site during my break. See you all in a couple of weeks.

Ok squats can gave a strengthen effect on the pelvic floor due to it'snuse in core stabilisation so this is a kegel type effect . Now this is more apparent with heavy load . It can also have a stretching relaxing effect in low positions ,more apparent with wide leg position and long pause in bottom position so hindi squat this of course is a rk type effect..
Here is discussion.
