V-stretch and girth

Hi guys,

While doing some V-stretches today I noticed the formation of a few red dots.
Now those dots are nothing new, but it struck me as odd that this happened
during the stretch (especially since I only use my hands so any stresses
applied aren’t that strong).

Therefore, has anyone experienced girth gains from these stretches? It
would be a great way to ‘iron out’ unwanted shapes like baseball bat or
rugby ball (I have no clue how else to call it).

I can get dots from clamping with just my hand if I do it for longer than 8 minutes. That’s enough pressure . I’ve done v-streches but I think most of my gains are seen from clamping in general. However I’d do v-streches, uli bends and everything else as I think it allows for more possible conditioning and expansion all over. Then clamp.

Yes, but isn’t clamping generally considered as a girth exercise? (and V-stretch not)
Also 8 minutes is quite long in my book (In this specific case I’m talking about 30s)

I was referring to seeing red dots. If you saw them in 30 seconds then wow be careful.

Also you can’t really control exactly what any exercise is going to give. From what I understand whenever you’re going for length you can get girth and vice-versa. I don’t think it’s a perfect science. v-streches are supposed to stretch your ligs but also stretch the tunica. Clamping can enhance length first or girth first depending on your tissue. I think hanging is the surest way for length I can think of.

V stretches theoreticly target the circumferential layer of the tunica more then the longitudal.
So they could be usefull in targeting specific parts.

I do them at my base, as I want it larger, and then do expansion exercises. The pre weakened parts inflate then more then the ones you didnt v stretch.

Okay yes, fair enough.

I am aware of the fact that isolating length or girth isn’t really easy to do, but
I am curious about the general consensus here.

I think I just learned something from dickerschwanz that I’m going to start applying myself. A bigger base is what I’m looking for. I don’t have a baseball bat yet but I also don’t want to get there either. I do have a slightly thinner base and middle the thickest. Hanging is supposed to bring out thickness in the base.

You can just bend, squezze, jelq, compress and v-stretch the base.

Then you edge, clamp or pump to hold the expansion for longer. All of course within your level of conditioning.

I never really got into stretching much. I was of the mindset that it was not really for girth. Silly newbie PE misconception. I have been doing stretches to start off my routine(mainly girth) every time and the results have been astounding. I cant speak for V-stretches but I can say that other forms of stretching have absolutely contributed to my girth gains, so I assume V-stretches would as well.
