Stretching and hanging with an infrared lamp

Hi guys,i plan to hang or stretch with an infrared lamp.

I want to know if everyone out there has made some experience with that or do you think it is a waste of time?

What should i mind/heed when i use the infrared lamp.One problem is, that i should not look in the lamp.But i cant stretch with eyes closed?

How many cm should the lamp stand away from my unit?How long can i use the lamp?

To add to simon’s questions: What kind of infrared lamp is best and where do you buy one?

Sunglasses?

You’re thinking of UV light. Infrared won’t hurt your eyes unless you hold it up to your face and bake your eyeballs.

And does your dick come out looking like a french fry? :)

I think I remember somebody saying that Wal-Mart has them in the US but I don’t remember the details.

I wouldn’t reccommend applying infrared heat for more than about 20 minutes, as any more will just irritate your skin. I have been doing 15 minute warmups with an infrared heat lamp before my recent workouts, and I must say its the most conveinient and effective way of warming up I have ever used. Apparently if you warm up with infrared heat and stretch collagenous tissues (ie. ligs, the tunica), after 20 sessions or so, around 20% of the difference in size between unstretched and stretched will become permanent. This may not sound a lot, but it is potentially 1/4” in three weeks of workouts!

How many watts is your bulb and how far away do you keep it? What kind of fixture is it in? A droplight (like the kind used for working on cars or around the shop) with a reflective surface behind it or an ordinary light socket?

Where did you come up with those figures about heating and stretching?

You’ll pardon any vagueness in my reply, as I didn’t keep any of the details: however, I researched this a while ago and recall seeing that there is a pretty wide quality range available on the market, and the low-to-median-end models suck (at best an additional tool for normal warmup exercises, along w/ rice socks or whatever else you use).

There was one expensive & medically-intended type of lamp tho that was designed specifically for deep-heating and emits a specific bandwidth that’s much more penetrating than the cheap models do. It’s designed to be part of a therapeutic regimen, but home models were available I think. It’s mounted on a boom something like a dentist’s lamp, just smaller.

It’s gotta be in the archives here somewhere: anybody else remember this? Like a year ago, perhaps a little less?

I just started using an IR lamp on Monday. I love it. Both the bulb and ballast are from Home Depot, which cost around $15. The bulb I use is 125 watts. Before a workout, I switch it on and let it heat up for about 15 minutes. Then I sit about 12 inches in front of the lamp (pointed at the snake). After 5 minutes, I apply some powder behind the glans and begin manually stretching for about 20 minutes. Finally, I slap on some lube and stroke 500 jelqs…this is all done in front of the lamp. My session usually lasts about 45 minutes. Naturally, you’ll need to gauge your own comfortable distance from the lamp’s heat. Some of you might also consider shielding your nuts from direct light. It gets really warm down there, so I’m sure the sperm count is melting. Anyway, like I mentioned before, I just started and I love it.

Is infrared bad for your testicles?

@Cockyj and the others who use infrared

Do you use a sunglass to protect your eyes?

In general, excessive heat can affect the spermcount (disable your little swimmers). The reason your scrotum is hanging loose when hot, is to cool down the nuts by increasing surfacearea of your scrotum.

Philips have been making these lamps for years. They are marketed under the name ‘Infraphil’.

It comes with its own stand and is about 150 watts.

!8” to 24” is about right.

Do an internet search for ‘infraphil’ and you should come up with various suppliers.

I know that ‘Amazon’ do them for about £15 (inc VAT) in the UK, But you may find a supplier closer to home.

They give a penetrating heat which should reach the inner ligaments and warm them.

Make sure your image is not projected onto a curtained window. Particularly when jelqing!

Simon, I do not use any sort of eye protection. The lamp is pointed downward at my member, and the ballast shapes around the bulb and its light. I don’t see any need for shades. Anyone else?

I use a $10 infrared heat/massage wand that I got at Walmart. I use it to warm up before stretching and also use it while pumping. I think it really helps.
