More Tension BETTER?

So in hanging, the more weight over the longer period of time, the better. Guys will hang 25lbs for 8 hours a day. The more they do, the better. But with extenders (ADS), alot of guys preach very low tension as the best way to go. They say high tension risks causing the penis tissue to react adversely, toughen up, and resist growth. And I can testify, that there is at least a kernel of truth in this, because when I extend at high tension I don’t see any difference at the end of the day, but when I just do an all day wrap in extended state (basically zero tension), the flacid penis is very long, soft, smooshy, and elongated afterwards.

However, I am wondering.. Perhaps the long, soft, elongated, jelly-like effect from low tension extending is not necessarily correlated with gains? I mean, I read the testimonials from the guys who preach low tension, and they are gaining around one inch in two to three years or more. But then you look at guys who hang heavy weight all day, and some, like Bib, gain 4+ inches in a year and a half. And it seems to me that just because the penis isn’t soft and smooshy and elongated at the end of a long day of high tension extending, that this doesn’t necessarily means there hasn’t been significant (even extreme) growth stimulation at the cellular level.

Now, for those who want immediate and assured results, I suppose sticking with the method that causes instant “smooshy elongation” may be the safer route to go. But I also think it may be true that the greatest gains may be had from using the highest tension possible. I mean, the basic laws of physics would seemingly point in that direction, at least. And the results guys get from hanging heavy weight seem to point in that direction as well. I mean when you think about it, you have guys claiming it’s too much tension to extend with 1,200 grams, but the guys who get the most gains from hanging use up to 9,000 grams, even 12,000 grams and more, for 6, 7, 8, 9 hours a day.

I brought up the same point a few months back.
I really think with the advent of vac cup extenders it makes higher tension extending more feasible.

The current concensus is to extend light but I feel this is because the old noose extenders didn’t give an option to extender with more force…

The question tho is how to set up a routine to see the benefits?
I tested it out but only extended 60 minutes a day at force all the way to the rod screws and 1/8” longer then my BPFSL.
60 minutes wasn’t enough to continue gains for me past my newbie gains.

I would like to test 180 minutes a day for three months and see what happened…

I got a vacuum extender, but I made it myself by purchasing all the parts separately.

1 plastic bell = $10

Big-toe gel caps as a glans protector (10 pieces) = $10

Silicone sleeves = $3 each

Adjustable elastic belt with clips = $14

What I do is put the belt around my neck, sort of like the penimaster around over the shoulder. I can go full tension (as much as 5-6lbs) all day long no problem, I just wear the device under a hoodie so no one can see it either below my belly button or around my neck.

Gains do correlate to a basic Force X Time/Tensile Strength of Penis (which may be decreased or increased over time the more this equation is run.

But, I was raised on low tension. I still get good burn at 7.5lbs and I don’t mind clocking heavy hours. Time under tension is a winner. More tension does win, within a certain range unknown to each PE practitioner.

My issue with the theory of 15lbs+ being the golden gain zone is it doesn’t account for biological reactions of pain and retraction. A flaccid 7x5” will do better (I failed hard while in a Bib Starter at my much smaller 2nd year PE size) than a 5x4” in the same high weight with the same conditioning scenario. And the unknown is exactly how much better and exactly why. I like to use a basic dispersal of force on surface area/volume but it doesn’t decode the missing multiplier of exactly how much success or failure occurs.

So, given I go with a weight dispersal theory that a smaller penis by volume will experience extreme levels of gravitational pull force differently than a larger penis. Similar theories exist when pressurizing a wider cylinder versus a narrower one that picking a set HG will exert different pressures on a pubic bone when pumping at a set high pressure. I experienced greater pressure on my pubic bone when I sized up my cylinder and kept the pressure patterns the same.

I pose the reverse (since vacuum pumping works in negative space) that heavy weights are harder on a smaller penis. And, given my failure at clamp hanging early on I want to validate this but…this is just my own experience.

Pressure patterns on tissue, if we could ultrasound, would showcase if a smaller penis handles high weight stress better or worse but I want to submit that showers fare better in a high weight environment. Cannot be sure. And before you take an experiment as the next way to check…

If both of you are vastly different sizes soft and use the same experiment the theory would only be valid if you both experienced the same range of results. If you didn’t there would be no correlating factor to start with but a pressure pattern with unknown variables affecting how you two gain.

All of that is hypothetical. But, worth considering.

I just love that you include shower vs grower as one of your variables. That is outstanding!

I have included most variables but totally missed this one.

Damn you are good TG!

I’ll be 10 years into PE in August. I’ve just tried everything and know hanging works better with more flaccid hang, at least in my case.

I appreciate the kind words.

Interesting. I realized showers would have an easier time wrapping, etc, and could do tunica-targeted hanging angles (fulcrums) that growers probably couldn’t do, but I didn’t think about the idea that showers would actually benefit more, period, from hanging with heavier weights. Although, I suppose you might not be speaking relatively (say, 9lbs on a 6 incher would equate with 12lbs on an 8 incher).

On a different subject - I am wondering what your thoughts are on the correlation between the mooshy elongated state with gains. As I said, when I use low tension, the penis is mooshy and elongated afterwards. But with high tension this effect does not occur for some reason.

It is relative. The issue being what numerical factors would correlate the relativity being unknown it being relative doesn’t matter. Because we can’t use the fact for anything directly.

I don’t do any correlation with high versus low tension in this case. I prefer a workout that leaves me elongated and it is a Physiological Indicator i find to be a strong indication of good work. That can happen at high or low tension for me so I can’t speak to your experience.

Hmm. If its a good physiological indicator, then I think I am going to have to stop extending with tension and just start all-day wrapping at my fully stretched state. We will see how this works. Thanks, Thoughtfulgold.
