Weighted Kegels

Now, I think them attempting to sell a string and a bag, when someone can just use a string and a bag is silly, but:

Does anyone think weighted kegels are a good idea if you’ve already been doing them for a while?
Seeing as the PC muscle is indeed a muscle, it should be worked like one in my opinion. I plan on trying this.

I read about doing resistance kegels by laying down, pointing your penis to your belly button and placing a light book over your penis(the book should be opened and your penis should go along the crease). I haven’t really tried this but I guess the PC has to work extra hard to move/contract with the weight of the book. These kegels may or may not have to be semi errect.

I think weighted kegels are a good idea once one is conditioned.

Don’t make it so complex.

Grab your dick, point it straight up or out and pull away from your body lightly. NOW kegel against that resistance. As your ability to pull back against that resistance gets stronger, you can pull harder with your hand.

Try and find the angle that allows you the greatest pullback strength.

I just used a sack that came with a pair of headphones filled with some coins/batteries. It worked well, and the weight was consistent (if you’re applying the weight it’ll vary too much, in my opinion).
The rope/semi-pulley in the video was silly, I only posted it to give some idea as to what a weighted kegel would be.

Varying force may be critical for PE, but not for kegels. Remember, you are strengthening a muscle.

I have no problem if you want to use a wt, that’s kinda’ fun actually, but really not necessary. The hand applied force works very well from low force to very heavy force, and its quick and convenient.

Besides, its important to try and get the proper angle of max pull back. With your hand,its a piece of cake…with a wt it gets trickier. But hey, have at it!

Also the way the video has you do it is with an erection. That’s actually really good, the problem is the erection tends to disappear really quick when you start doing this exercise.

However, it can be done without an erection too. Just pull the flaccid outward away from the body against the “tug back”. Find the angle that give the most movement and work against the resistance from the hand. This is what I am referring to in my above posts.

Sparkyx,

Thanks. Does the BC muscle increase in size as well as strength?

I’ve been doing kegels with resistance for a couple of weeks in the M,W,F schedule recommended and am noticing an improvement in erection firmness. I’ve been applying resistance in various directions thinking that the angles where the effect was less were areas where more exercise is needed. Is this the case or am I just wasting time in the areas where there is less pull back?

Your welcome.

Its skeletal muscle so yes it can increase in size, just like exercising your bicep. However, because its skeletal muscle you can also OVER exercise it and lose strength. If you notice that you are getting weaker or erections losing their strength, consider either less exercise or less often. 3 times a week is good as long as you don’t over do it.

The areas of less pull back are due to mechanical advantage or disadvantage, so I see on benefit of pulling from different angles. Just find your strongest angle and work that, it should benefit all the other angles as well.

Now, if you are talking about STRETCHING,then all the angles are important. This however isn’t stretching, its exercising the BC muscle.

Few years ago, I heard about something similar and cheaper.
It was the same exercise but it was done with a towel.
It really is effective, but it would be nonsense to buy some “Kegel Male Trainer” that probably costs a fortune.

And for the record, an over-sized BC muscle is weaker only if it’s out of shape.

When doing a series of exercises, for example 50 kegels with pull back resistance in a day. Is it better to do them all in one session or to do them in a few shorter sessions throughout the day?

I do them all at one time because once I get the BC muscle warmed up I feel I get a better workout. If I do them throughout the day they don’t feel as effective.

Number76,
Thanks. Followed your way today and have experienced a significant difference. Today I have really done kegels! It has been a few hours and I can still feel the workout. My hesitancy was to avoid over doing. It seems there is a lot that can be done before over doing is reached.

Maybe it was necessary to have worked up to this stage. When I first began, there wasn’t nearly as much resistance as there is now. I began doing kegels with resistance about a month ago.
