What should I track for stamina training?

The most useful things are your longest continuous block before a full stop, the number of rescue stops, and whether you held your current target. Total session time, average duration and how often you practise are helpful context rather than the core measure. The app records all of these from the sessions you log and shows them as charts and history, so you rarely need a separate spreadsheet. Above all, track honestly, including short or abandoned sessions.

How often should I measure a baseline?

Often enough to see a trend, not so often that you are constantly re-testing. A standardised baseline is a focused measurement rather than a training session, and the app's ladder only advances when repeated comparable performances support it. Many people measure every few weeks and train normally in between. If you measure daily, expect noise, and do not read a single result as progress or decline.

Do I need spreadsheets to track stamina progress?

No. Everything the app needs for its own progression rules, including the continuous block, rescue stops, target and session type, comes from the sessions you log, and the progress page draws charts and history from them. A notebook works if you prefer paper, but keep it to the same few fields. The value comes from recording the same things consistently, not from the sophistication of the tool.

Recording What Actually Matters

A session log is only useful if it records the things that change. In this kind of training, three numbers carry most of the signal: the longest continuous block you held before a full stop, how many rescue stops you took, and the target you were working at. Total session length is easy to record and easy to misread, because a long session with several stops is not the same achievement as the same time unbroken. The app keeps rescue stops separate from the continuous block for exactly that reason, so a messy session cannot inflate the number that matters. Record the outcome honestly, including the sessions that ended early. A log of only your good days tells you nothing useful. An example: a twenty-minute session with four stops may hold a continuous block of four minutes, while a nine-minute session with one stop holds nine. The second is the stronger result.

Making Sessions Comparable

Numbers only mean something when the conditions are similar. A standardised baseline is the app's answer to this: hand stimulus, lubricant used, no erotic imagery, and stimulation kept continuous until the natural endpoint. That combination is deliberately plain, so that two measurements taken a few weeks apart are genuinely comparable. Everything else moves the result around, including sleep, stress, how tired you are and how long it has been since your last session. You do not need to control all of it, but labelling a session for what it is stops you comparing a casual attempt with a formal measurement. When the conditions change, expect the number to change with them. Labelling helps even when conditions are imperfect. Two words such as tired or rushed beside a session explain a dip later, when the number would otherwise read as lost control.

Reading Trends, Not Single Sessions

One session is a data point, not a verdict. Bodies vary day to day, and a single poor attempt after a short night tells you about the night rather than about your training. Look instead at whether a run of recent attempts is holding the current target, or whether the average has drifted. The app's progression gate is built on this principle: it examines your most recent observations together, advances only when the performance repeats, and asks for a little more evidence at the five-minute mark than elsewhere on the ladder. Copy that patience in your own reading. If you want one rule, compare this week's average effort with last week's rather than with your best ever. The five-minute mark is an example: the app asks for more repeated evidence before advancing past it, on the reasoning that holding the later stretch is harder than reaching it once.

When the Numbers Mislead You

Tracking can quietly change what you are optimising for. Chasing the longest total session, stacking attempts to protect a streak, or pushing arousal higher because a bigger number feels like progress all pull training away from the thing that helps: steady, repeatable, moderate control. A logged session you rushed is worse than a skipped one written down as skipped. If you notice yourself training for the chart rather than for the skill, drop the metrics for a week and record only whether you practised. The log works for you. The moment it starts deciding how you feel about a session, it has stopped being a tool. Decide in advance what a session is for. A practice session is judged on whether you kept to the method; only measurement sessions feed your trend.

Key Takeaways

Log your continuous block and rescue stops as separate numbers.
Keep every standardised baseline identical so the results compare.
Compare weeks rather than reacting to a single session.
If a number starts driving your mood, pause tracking for a week.
