Blasters and LOT?

Hi Guys,

Have been doing a basic starter routine of jelqing, JAI stretches and BTC stretches for around 4 weeks now and want to start to encorporate Blasters and Ulis into the mix.

However am a little unsure of how to execute the Blasters with respect to my LOT. With a LOT 0f around 9 I understand that I should concentrate on my ligs by doing mostly downward stretches. Are Blasters a predominantly Tunica stretching exercise? If not how do I go about executing the Blasters? In DLD’s instructions he states that one should lie on ones back and pull your penis up towards your chest - A stretch that does not hit my ligs. Can you perform the blasters so they hit the ligs?

Cheers,

JC

JC,

Look up the thread started by DLD called “DLD blasters and LOT theory” or something similar, there is a lot of ranting about this in there.

IMO, you should only do reverse kegels while hanging/stretching SD and BTC, for 5 seconds then a 5 second rest. With no normal kegels.

Cheers pal will look it up,

Hey,

I always just assumed that everyone did DLD blasters at 12 o’clock (lying on their back).

Doesn’t 12 o’clock give the most tugback for everyone? I guess I just assumed that too ‘cause it’s the starting point for checkin LOT and it’s also where my biggest tugback is. Since 12 is my biggest point of tugback, is that where I should be doing the blasters?

Thanks!

Mick,

Yeah.

>Since 12 is my biggest point of tugback, is that where I should be doing the blasters?<

What is your LOT?

SS4 Jelq,

My LOT is about 8:30.

Mick,

Go for downward stretches, not upward. The reverse kegel part of the blaster will give extra stress when stretching down, IMO the normal kegel is not necessary, and will reduce the stress. You can do them if you wish, some people find that the part of the stretch directly after releasing the kegel is quite intense.

If you had a low LOT, and did an upward stretching routine, the reverse would be true.

I like to do reverse kegels for 5 seconds, then rest for 5 seconds and repeat for all of the stretching or hanging. Worked for me.

Hey SS4,

I definitely do feel a stretch in the ligs when lying on my back and stretching up when doing DLD blasters. However, after about say 20 stretches, I don’t feel the stretch anymore.

Also, I can definitely feel the stretch more when stretching downwards, it’s alot more intense. I think this is partly because I can put some of my body weight into it because I have to sit down to do these. The only problem is there is no tugback when I’m sterching downwards. Is this ok for DLD blasters???

Thanks

Mick,

You sure your not feeling the stretch in the tunica?

As I say in the above post, I do not think the kegel part of the blaster is needed with downward stretching, only the reverse kegel part.

This is a good question. Are you using the A stretch with the blasters?

If you are if you lay down and move your wrist down as far as possible you can stretch more in a downward direction. I have wondered about this myself since I have a lot of 8.

If I were you I would also do some BTC stretches to make sure you are hitting the ligs.

CL,

If your LOT is 8 I would not bother with A stretches at all, as even if the fulcrum arm is right at the base it still effectively raises the angle of the stretch.

When stretching up I feel a stretch in the ligs right where the pubic bone is. I have to pull really hard though to get a good stretch (it’s not even that good actually) and after a while it’s almost impossible to stretch hard enough. I thought DLD designed the blasters for upward stretching though?? Maybe I’m hitting the tunica and just don’t know it.

> As I say in the above post, I do not think the kegel part of the blaster is needed with downward stretching, only the reverse kegel part. <

I thought the kegel was the whole point of the DLD blasters?

Anyway, I tried the modified DLD blasters last night (where you twist your penis 360 degrees) in a downward direction. It felt pretty good, so I think I’ll try these for the next few weeks unless you think this is a bad idea.

CL,

I’m just using a regular grip for the blasters. I also do V-stretches (which is basically the oposite of A-stretches right?) as well as BTC stretches. I always get a nice burn when doing the BTC’s and a pretty good burn when doing the V-stretches.

Thanks for your replies guys!

Interesting, I cant imagine you getting a lig stretch from upward stretching with a LOT of 8. No matter, with this LOT downward stretching is the key to gains.

>I thought DLD designed the blasters for upward stretching though?? Maybe I’m hitting the tunica and just don’t know it.<

The blasters are done to fatigue the PC muscle, in order to avoid its relfex contraction. However at upward angles the PC contraction will actually increase the stress, and at downward angles the relfex can be avoided by reverse kegeling, because the muscles are antagonistic. RK’s will also increase the stress at lower angles.

Ah the bundle stretches. I’m not a big fan but somepeople love them. I would think they are not needed at low stretch angles, but if you get a good lig stretch then go for it.

Good Luck

Hey SS4,

Thanks again for all the help, good explanations in there. I’ll let you know if the bundles work or not.

Mick

Sorry about the late reply. Have been gone for a few days.

Mick- I also get a burn when doing the blasters but it only lasts for a few reps.

SS4- Thanks for the advice. I agree with you about the A stretch raising the angle. I had my best success with these and it is hard to give them up even though I think you are probably right. CL
