1/2 inch in one month - only 5 minutes/day

Did I do an analysis? I’m not sure what there is to concur with yet…and that term ‘dead stretch’ was coined long before Thundersplace had popups that gave the meaning of long acronyms like WTFITSTM. For what it lacks in aesthetic appeal, BPFSL certainly makes up in clarity.

You’re welcome. (Ain’t it gonna be a bitch if it turns out this is all it takes?)

Tom Hubbard, I find it interesting that it may be possible for me to hold gains I make from hanging by dropping down to 5 minutes manual work a day. I always know when I take a break and I do a light session I almost immediately get an increase in length so I make sure to do light work in the shower before a date when I am taking a break.

Your experiment is to test the extreme less-is-more theory?

I have no doubts that if you’re reconditioned and haven’t PE’ed in a long time then 5 minutes is all it will take. After a month or two you put that up to 10 minutes. After a year doing the same routine it’s going to be to much time to make gains which is when you’d move onto hanging or try different methods or take a break.

Turns out making a diagram is even harder than explaining it - so I posted photos in my knuckle stretch thread in member pics.

Ah, I see - yes, it’s mislabeled. Blue should be ‘start’ and red ‘end’ - sorry about that.

This actually seems like a really good experiment and I think we should get a few more people to try it out and take just as meticulous measurements.

I guess you could say that - or perhaps reductio ad absurdum. After all, I’m the guy who made a functional hanger out of toothbrushes ;-)

I think that’s a great idea - maybe some people just starting out would be willing to try the simplest possible approach (for science, of course)?

Remember this?

“…it used to be a “secret” …. A boy would say “I think my penis is small…” and the good friend's advice would be “Then why don't you pull it out?”. We had no idea were this method came from and we had no idea what an average penis would be. No one ever tried to make money from nobody. We just transferred this knowledge as we had learned it from other older boys…. One would stretch his penis in a semierect condition by pulling it outwards, streching it “till it hurts”…. This had results and I hadn't heard of anyone dissapointed…. We did that streching in no particullar order and no particular program. The more the reps, the more the results….”

Hi Tom

I’ve been doing an almost identical stretch as my sole form of PE for a month or so myself. My session times are a bit longer, but not consistently, I just do a few minutes to half an hour of manual stretches whenever life allows it. I’ll keep you updated on my results.

Are you guys getting erect gains?

Or are they just flaccid gains?

I recently measured a 7.5 BPEL for the first time in my life - never gotten beyond 7-3/8 before.

I’d be interested to hear, naturally.

Your title is like an infomerical haha. Congrats on your gains.
