Recent Gains
I’ve been doing a stretch-only workout for a while now. I’m using an old ruler (no mm’s on it), so I can’t offer the precision that I’m used to, but I am now past the 7 3/4” mark (BP). My max before was 7.8” (briefly, did not duplicate it), but I’m beyond that now. I’m almost 7 7/8” BP.
If you’ll recall, I was at 7.72” BP for a long time. Then I took a complete break of more than 1/2 year, and lost some size. But I’ve been stretching it constantly - possibly a nervous kind of reaction, with all the stress I’m under. But in the evenings, I’ll sit around in my sweat pants with a bottle of baby powder and go to town. Its almost become like a stress-reliever, more than a quest for more length (although, that’s obviously what results).
I have been stretching so damn much, that I’m actually getting small (and painful) open wounds on my shaft. And the curious thing, they’re not where I grip. They appear to be splits in the skin from so much stretching - as in the skin getting pulled apart. I’ve never had this type of reaction before, but I’ve never stretched quite like this before either.
When I finally started back, doing this routine, I was around 7 1/2 BP or a hair over. I’m now nearing 8 - in only a matter of weeks. But I stretch like a fiend. About 80% of my stretch time is straight up (and about 35-40% of those are bundled). Another 15% of my time is straight-out, and maybe 5% straight down [trying to stress tunica gains, not lig gains].
I stretch 7 days per week, maybe 2 hours per day (with some breaks because my hands tire so badly). But I do log about 2 hours per day, but the dick is splitting. I’ll need a brief break - maybe a week - to let them heal. Any over the counter suggestions for the skin splits?
