ADS or ANS - Increasing time gradually

I’m curious if anyone has slowly increased the duration of time per day when it comes to an ADS or ANS?

I tried an ADS experiment months ago but I quickly jumped up into the 10+ hours/day range within a couple of days. I was thinking that maybe this is why I saw very little gains. Maybe the penis gets used to 10+ hours a day if done right away and to make further progression, one needs to up the hours more.

If someone were to start at 2 hours per day, 5-7 days a week and increase 1 hour per day every week or every other week, would this be a better approach than trying to get in as many hours as possible right from the beginning?

Thoughts??

I grew 2 cm since I started using ADS (august last year) I think it is pretty good gains. I wear from 2 to 5 hours per day and do manual stretches and did it from begining. So maybe you are over-training.

dimaniac,

What did you use for your ADS and approximately how hard did it pull (say compared to a reasonable manual stretch)? Also, did you ADS after you did your stretches or did you do do the ADS before the stretches?

ShyMplsMale,

I think the idea is that if you use a low enough tension, the penis merely responds to the applied force by adding new cells. I don’t see how the penis “getting used to the time under tension” should matter. Either the body responds to low tension by growing new cells to relieve the tension, or it does not. Getting used to the time under tension sounds more like a problem associated with hanging (at high tension) which, in theory, involves a different growth mechanism.

Also, you didn’t say how long you used the ADS. Dimaniac grew at a rate of ~1/8 inch every month but he didn’t specify if his growth was relatively constant or occurred in bursts (ie: he might not have grown for 3 months, then the next month grew 1cm). Bottom line I think ADS is an important part of achieving permanent growth, but the growth from it alone is slow.

I stick to the instructions that came with the ADS. I started out with real low tension, eventually wearing it 8-10 hours per day - adding a 0.5cm extension rod every 7 days. Wearing it 12 hours a day will give you faster results than wearing it 6 hours of course, and according to the manual you should start with 3-6 hours a day the first week, and then move up to 8-9+ hours (but that’s just to get used to it I guess).

This pace will theoretically give a 0.5cm growth each month (~0.2 inches). The 3rd month there is a 10 day interval before you add another 0.5cm rod piece, and by the 5th month the interval time is 15 days.. So I guess gains are harder to achieve after a few months and you’ll need to wear it longer with the same tension to keep up the pace. My hope is to gain 1.5 inches this year.. But maybe that’s a little bit too high hopes(?)

During the last month I have been using my extender with the recommended tension for growth (>800grams) and although my erect length hasn’t grown, my stretched flaccid length has grown around 1/2”.

According to the ADS device manufacturers, this is all you can expect during the first month or so of ADS. I don’t think that 10 hours is too much at a low tension. Maybe you didn’t do your experiment for long enough.

I can’t remember exactly but I believe it was for two months. I didn’t do much except using the ADS at first, but started jelqing a bit at the end. My hang was great but not sure if I gained any length. Maybe an 1/8”, but never documented it and I probably should of kept up the experiment. I guess I was just a few light sores and maybe my tension was too much.

You might be right. I probably should of done it for at least 6 months but I was starting to get some light sores on the penis. Maybe it was from too much tension.
