I think in flaccid state, fulcrum does almost nothing…. it´s like expecting a rope will stretch one side and not the other, after running on a pulley…
Probably will not changeI felt like bending downward while erect could have an impact but it´s not easy to do that, and I also fear the powerful stretch can create scar tissue and retraction. I dont believe in vigorous stretching.
I feel my collagen is strong because afte 3 months with BIB system, climbed up to 14 pound, invested many hours a day, and got 3 milimetres.
Doing another 3 months in extender, got 5 milimetres using low tension. So in my case, it´s far less effective to use strong pull forces.
I may try constant fulcrum in stretcher but i dont think that will work much
Downward fulcrum stretching is effective because it targets the dorsal side of the penis, where is the tunica that covers the corpora cavernosa bodies. So in theory it will reduce slightly over time the upward curve. An upward curve means that the ventral side is longer than the dorsal, so an exercise that lengths and targets the dorsal side should have an impact. I have an upward curve too but it hasn’t change from all the downward fulcrums i have done. My penis is just longer in both sides with the same upward curve, maybe it takes more time and it’s a very slow process.
That being said its an exercise that gave me great gains. Doing it erect it’s a big NO in my opinion and it can lead to serious injuries. The tunica during an erection is more stiff and less deformable, so its not effective either. Stretching should be done only in flaccid state, because the blood inside the CC doesn’t help you achieve the proper lengthwise expansion.
You are right that higher forces may don’t work in your case. If your tunica is strong the more effective way to gain is through more time and less force.
Fulcrum stretching doesn’t require to pull like crazy, the force provided from the fulcrum is already enough. I try hold for some minutes and i try to reach a longer state during the fulcrum stretch, i don’t pull with power in order to hold it. If you can combine fulrcums with heat they can be even more effective. You can do them after the extending for some minutes few times a week.
