Q. I’ve been training for some time now and have used various manual stretches and other hand based exercises.

While I’ve had good progress, the workouts are taking a toll on my hands as they’re pretty long now. I also don’t get the same level of feedback. Should I consider devices for training? If so, what do you recommend?

Al: Manual exercises offer many conveniences: they’re free, versatile, and no equipment beyond towel and some lube is needed. That being said, there are times when device use can be advantageous.

If you’re going to select just one device, I recommend a pump. The Bathmate is great for beginner training and auxiliary work- along with warm ups and warm downs, but if you’re going to be performing advanced pump training some day then you’ll want a device which can generate more pressure and also has a gauge.

Kaplan Pumps has been around for close to 30 years, and their line of products are of the highest quality.

Hanging is a close second for device work. LG Hangers offers a selection of quality devices for training. If you visit them, please let them know Al referred you. Thanks!


Q. According to you and many others, regular breaks are important.

I take my week off at the end of every training cycle and have been doing so for two years. After my latest week off, I still felt like I could have used more rest.

My gains have also slowed because I don’t feel rested enough. This is creeping into my motivation to train! What should I do about this?

Al: Taking your week off at the end of the cycle is always good practice, but once or twice a year you’d do well to take a training break lasting 2 or more weeks. Some refer to this as a “decon” break, but while the goal isn’t to decondition, it’s to get a deep level of both physical and mental rest from the burdens of training.

It would be good for you to take that long break now, then wait until you feel refreshed and remotivated before you resume.

Peaking and Stress: Ask The Experts

Peaking and Stress: Ask The Experts

Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about peaking during a training cycle and emotional stress.

Q. I’ve often read you referring to peaking at the end of a cycle. What exactly does this mean?

Al: The peak of your training is when you’re both at your highest level of conditioning AND training your hardest. You’ll want this to happen towards the end of your training cycle. Continuing past this point often leads to a plateau or even overtraining.
 

Q. My biggest challenge is setting the mood. This applies to training and sex. I don’t see myself as inadequate, but I’ve found as I got older that stress (especially from work) leaves me feeling like not training or having sex. Is there a way around this?

Al: Stress is THE #1 cause of ED, and it’s also the biggest killer (when used in comorbidities).

Emotional stress management should be a daily part of your life- not just for male enhancement, but to maintain optimal physical and emotional health. Practicing your Emotional Visualizations and regular meditative rest is something you should make a part of your lifestyle.

There’s also diet, regular exercise and good sleep. If any one of these is lacking, you’re going to feel it.

End Of Cycle Peaking, Edging Improvement, and Supplementation: Ask The Experts

End Of Cycle Peaking, Edging Improvement, and Supplementation: Ask The Experts

Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about peaking at the end of a training cycle, improving edging time, and supplements.

If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Big Al

Q. You mention “peaking” at the end of a workout cycle being a goal. What exactly does this refer to?

Al: Peaking is the goal for the end of a cycle where you’re performing at maximum effort after several weeks of increases. A good analogy for this is when athletes train for a competition in a manner which ensures they perform their best on the date concerned. In your case, the final week of a cycle is where you wish to peak/plateau. Continued work much beyond this state leads to overtraining.

If you don’t hit a peak by the end of a cycle., it’s a good bet you’ve been UNDERtraining.

Q. I seem to be stuck at 10 minutes max time with edging.

The instructions say to stop three times before the point of no return but I can’t even get past two times. What is it that I can do to solve this problem?

Al: If you have to pause to get the extra time in, you can do so. If you can slow the rate and intensity of stimulation while still adding time per session that would be even better- though more difficult.

The initial goal of this exercise is to get to 20 minutes. At this point, a threshold should be reached where it becomes much easier to control your ejaculations. You should also have gotten more tolerance bu this time- though the correlation between endurance for MANUAL Stop and Starts and sexual activity may not be equal.

Q. What are some supplements you recommend for male enhancement improvement?

Al: For better EQ, L-Arginine is a good one. Yohimbe is excellent as an “herbal Viagra” and even has aphrodisiac-like qualities, but isn’t recommended for those with high blood pressure. Arnica is good to speed healing, while Butcher’s Broom (Ruscogenin) can aid in strengthening venous sufficiency. Vitamins A, E, and Zinc all help to maintain optimal hormonal profiles.
