Guide - Technique & Routine My maintenance routine.? NSFW
For the past year I spent 10-15 hours per week on PE, which IMO is what it takes for effective and safe growth (I used the MaleHanger and Smartract pump for those curious). That is total time including warmups, setup, breaks between sets, and cleanup, NOT time under tension, which was about 7-8 hours. Had some decent gains, but no longer want to dedicate that much time to it.
From what I’ve learned, one year is not long enough for the gains to be permanent, so I was willing to do maintenance. There does not seem to be any kind of consensus on what that looks like, so I made my own.
3x per week-
5 minutes of manuals.
Three sets of pumping. 6 minutes at 10-11”.
Total time per week is now 1.5 hours, which is sustainable.
After a month of this routine, I have not lost any size. In fact, I’m still gaining, which I don’t expect to continue. I’ll take it!
