Measuring Post Workout BPFSL for Strain

Just wondering when people measure there post exercise bpfsl to calculate strain from their exercise. So the strain is (post bpfsl - pre bpfsl)/pre bpfsl

At the moment I am vac hanging so I take all equipment off then measure my post BPFSL. Though I am now thinking that maybe I should to it while stretched in the vac hanger just before I take it off, this would be a bit more challenging but doable.

Just wondering what others do?

I’m doing it the same way.

I’ll ditto Rocco. I take my pre measurement without any gear, so I remove all the gear for a post measurement.

Thanks and it does make sense to me to do that. Though I was then thinking if we were getting scientific and by that I mean following the approach engineers use when testing materials, I think we would have to measure while under stress. I might try to start to do both see how it works out or helps any.

Thanks for the input folks, much appreciated

But for this approach you will have to take both, pre and post measurements, under stress I think.

Yeah I would have to measure pre exercise with hanger on and just pull it out. Then see if I can get the same measurement or see how it differs. Will probably mess about with it over the next few weeks and see where I get

I think measuring with a vac cup on will lead to inaccurate measurements. Do you really mount the cup at the same depth every single time? Do you know if there was a bit of slippage under load leading to a longer post measurement?

This is about PE. Just measure the P :)

I can see where the tip of my penis goes to and think I can measure that but I’d have to try it out to see if it is doable, repeatable and usable. Not sure it will be.

What sent me in this direction is when I add weight to the hanger I can see my penis stretching further. When I check my post exercise bpsfl for 1kg or 2.5kg there is 1mm of difference, I was expecting more.

That is the mental downside of measuring daily strain.
1. Post measurement only counts for strain. That’s it. FWIW I used to think that I needed strain to be greater than 2.5%. I now cruise under 2% most of the time and still see the same gain rate that I saw with a higher strain.
2. Your pre measurement should increase ~1-2mm per week. That’s it.

Don’t stress over the post value.

It’s the pre measurement that matters and it should increase slowly.

I agree with that but that is based on using the same weight for a week. I was moving up in weight from 1kg to 2.5kg. If I was plotting a stress strain graph or load strain graph for these numbers there would be very little difference in strain, it surprised me more than anything.

I don’t get frustrated with lack of change or anything like that. The most frustrating thing is getting an accurate measurement or a set of data that can help you move in the correct direction.

Btw guys, is there any “rule” how long the strain should last after workout?

I mean the longer the better I guess…

But if it last only for minutes does that still mean the workout was effective?

No idea and I would assume like you the longer the better but I never checked it over time to see how long it lasts. I just try and get my equipment off promptly and measure straight away.

I think that most here measure directly after the workout and do not worry too much about the time.

I think the idea of measuring post workout BPFSL has merit but personally I still wouldn’t due to daily fluctuations, measurement error, demotivation of measuring too frequently, etc, etc. Not to mention the individual’s post-workout response. Some folks may have quite rapid drawback or turteling making the true post workout BPFSL very difficult to measure. However, I absolutely agree that close to maximum BPFSL is where you need to be working at in order to get tissue adaption. If you’re not working at that level then it is likely wasted time and effort.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly: measuring after every workout exactly AVOIDS daily fluctuations and measurement errors because you can see the range :-D.
The best thing you can do for consistency is to measure your post exercise BPFSL daily. Pre exercise is not necessary every day.
Besides, if you measure directly AFTER the workout,there is zero turteling for me.
For cooldown, I hang with 4.4kg. 15 seconds later, I already stretch my penis manually with the Phallosan cup still on.
I achieve my post exercise BPFSL. Not a single time did I have turteling.
Even if I chill for another 40 seconds and stretch the second time, I get the exact same value in nearly every case.
So you have a time window of at least 60 seconds IMO. But I would never risk it and would stretch ASAP.
