How growth occurs

[NLarge]

I am 6 weeks into PE and I had a 1/4" length gain in a period of a week, from week 3 to 4. Is it typical for the penis to grow in spurts like this? I have another measurement coming up this weekend and I'm not expecting another quarter inch. But knowing that the gains come in short bursts would be great for the psyche.

The pace of growth differs from one guy to the next. Whether that .25" is actual growth or just an improvement in EQ (both are great things), only time will tell.

I've found that growth does come in spurts. You might not see any for 3-4 months and then you measure and say holy sh*t, I've gained 1/2". PE is weird.

Every newbie needs to know this so he doesn't get discouraged.

Some people grow in routine spurts. Some people grow consistently over periods of time. Some people grow sporadically.

I wish there was one golden rule for all of this, but there isn't unfortunately. But I'm working on it

If you stay consistent enough and perform the exercises correctly, the important thing is that you WILL grow.

I've noticed spurts happen as well- especially after layoffs.

Like a one week layoff every 3 months kinda layoff?

Thats cool, so consistency and patience are the name of the game. "If you jelq it, gains will come."

Usually one week off every 6 weeks or so.

I have noted that idea in the gym work and physical training in the past 10 or so years. Seems like you work along sometimes weeks or months and then it's just there. Funny how muscles in one parts of your body react like the other parts. Just one more piece of the puzzle.

I had about a week and a half off a while ago and when I measured, I'd grown nicely. This is why I think it's important to have breaks. Without breaks, your body never really has the time to recover and therefore will not grow as well (imho of course).

With gym work your body acts as a whole too. Even if you train different bodyparts you're still stressing the nervous system as well as muscles you don't intend on targeting- this is especially true with compound exercises like squats and deadlifts in which, if done intensely, are stressing just about every muscle in the body.

As I've gotten older and stronger I've learned to appreciate the value of rest and recuperation. Instead of seeing it as "off time", it's actually the most vital part of the growth phase.

I've become addicted and its hard enough to take even a day off. I was pondering a week off starting my 8th week and measuring day would follow that week off. what do you think guys? I'm not sore, not showing any bad PIs and seem to have a good schedule. Should I go for the week off or keep doing what I've been doing?

Yes, and log the results. That'll give you some insight into your tolerances and recovery abilities.

Thanks AL, will do.
