Hello Zee. Yes I was surprised seeing some people say they want a curve. I could probably understand wanting to have a curve it did not impede gains, because personally I really think it is the greatest limiting factor on me (and you probably) achieving maximal tension to the CC’s and TA. Observe, every time I go full stretch, I could still press the lateral sides of the CC’s, implying that the CC’s are not stretched enough. The only thing that is stretched is the ligament along the shaft.
I could only achieve tension in CC’s in two ways, which I do now. Mostly, it is through clamping and doing extreme ULI’s with it. But it targets width, not length. The other, which I less commonly employ, are erect bends. Only during these two exercises that I could feel tension and subsequent fatigue on my CC’s.
Stretching have given me 0.6 to 0.7 in. Increase already just in the first two (approx) months, but when I started, these dorsal ligaments are not really that prominent. Also, before, I got 4 to 5 “lig pops” that contributed to the “growth spurt”. Now the gains hardly come because I think these dorsal ligs are stretched out.
Another thing that I want to point out is that from what I know, the dorsal vein and the dorsal nerve of the penis is housed inside these dorsal ligaments. I am a little hesitant to really push to the limits, because injuring these structures could be catastrophic.
