Jelqing Depth Question

Sometimes when jelqing I kind of dig up into the fat pad area and I can feel things shifting around and popping. There is a slight bit of pain, but nothing sharp.

Are these ligaments moving?

Is that a good thing to do or should I just keep the start of the jelq at the base of the shaft rather than pushing in further?

In my opinion, if you aren’t experiencing pain/EQ drop/redness/tenderness/swelling/numbness…you should be fine.

I do think it is what you describe. But those tissues aren’t used to attention. I don’t think it’s a bad thing as long as you aren’t mauling yourself. Pay attention and watch for symptoms. I suspect you’ll be fine.

Thanks TG.

It never really hurts that bad and there is no redness or bruising afterward.

I’ve heard a lot of veterans talk about ligament pops being a good thing and was mainly wondering if anybody else experiences that when jelqing.

It’s not like I’m pulling them outward, just shifting them around.
