Oscillating Progression System (OPS)

Hi everyone, just wanted to get some feedback on a progression system I’ve been devising lately. This is primarily intended for hanging and clamping/clamped hanging (my preferred methods), but could possibly be applied to other exercises as well.

Rather than going to the maximum tolerable resistance and seeking to incrementally increase from there (and thereby with each new step risking injury and over-toughening the tissues), the idea is to find an intensity that yields maximum in-session expansion (for clamping) or post-session BPFSL (for hanging), and then checking each week to see if the resistance can actually be lowered while inducing the same amount of lateral or longitudinal stretch by the end of the session.

For example (hanging):

I have a basic BPFSL of about 6.25”. If 5 lbs is the most I can comfortably handle and 3x20 minutes of hanging at that weight gets my BPFSL out to 6.5”, then the next week I’ll try 4 lbs and see if I can get that 0.25” extension again. If so, I will stay at 4 lbs for a week before attempting to drop the weight again, and if not I’ll stay at 5 lbs until checking again the next week.

The concept is to progress the weight up until a decent stretch is made, and then progress the weight down until the resistance necessary to create that stretch is just barely greater than the PSI of an erection.

Each cycle is only intended to gain as much as your first good post-session extension or in-session expansion. Rather than continually playing catch-up between stretched size and erect size by steadily increasing resistance (which creates a need to regularly decon), you are simply creating a stretch and then actively cementing it.

Once you get down to creating the same stretch with something like 2-pound hanging or lightly clamped edging, an ADS or ADC could be used to further cement while switching to the next exercise cycle.

Does this sound like a reasonable approach? Has anyone tried something similar already?

I am keeping myself on a regimen of 2x15 minutes weightless clamping only for at least the next couple months. Depending on how it goes, I may keep with that, or reintroduce the weights.

Either way my goal is 6x5 by 2019. Finally attaining mediocrity for the New Year!
