Tricks And Tips For Manual Stretching

I tried this stretch grip you suggested here. Fantastic grip and much more relaxed felling into the stretch. I have never used this stretch technique when i used to ststretch before. But I could perform my stretches relaxed several minutes without any problem. Before I went tired just reaching 1 minute.. now I could hold the stretch up to 3 minutes easily.

Thank you marinera for your great information :up:

Thank you for trying this, words serve to nothing without somebody willing to give it an empirical try and reporting back. :)

This thread has changed my perspective completely on manual stretching. The knuckle grip is absolutely fantastic. I feel like it should be part of the newbie education. I’ve been doing this for 4 years and have never really heard about it.

A few other questions. 1) should there be rest days with manual stretching? If so, just generally speaking, how many? 2) do you think the progressive stretching principles apply to girth work as well? I am really lost with what I’m trying to accomplish with girth work. Do I want to go expand the tissues beyond maximum capacity as much as possible or do I want to just to slightly beyond what my penis normally can achieve? I also can’t put my thumb on the idea of rest days. With girth, do rest days all your tissues to adapt to new size or do they simply just allow the tissue to revert back to old size?

Thanks again bud.

1) I advocate at lest 1 day of rest per week even if you are doing only stretchting/hanging/whatever. If you have used too much force in your training sessions, 1 day is kind a safe window and gives your mind a rest too. Everything I have read suggests that doing something more than 5-6 days per week doesn’t give better gains, in any fields. Beside that, manual stretching, even with moderate force (what I suggest) puts more force on the penis than generally believed.

2) Here we have different questions. If you are working length or girth, your goal should always be to enlarge tunica albuginea, which is the ‘limiting factor’, to make use of a sentence in vogue a couple of years ago. The problem is that is not easy to apply the stress relaxation principle to girth work; pumpers I think are used to do that, it is common practice to start with a very low pressure and raise the pressure toward the end of the pumping session. Stress relaxation is also somewhat by default applied when jelqing, since you are supposed to jelq semi-erect and progressively push more blood inside your penis.

‘Do rest days allow your tissues to adapt to new size or do they simply just allow the tissue to revert back to old size?’. The latter is a popular idea among hangers; but if that was true, no one could have gains no matters which technique they are using. If you look at how your penis behaves, you see that it doesn’t remains longer than your BPFSL after a stretching/hanging/extender session; it will go back to a shorter length in a matter of seconds no matter how long you have been holding it at BPFSL. Sure the flaccid length is longer for a while than your average FL, but we are mostly interested in EL; so if the above idea was true, no one could ever achieve longer EL. Truth is, systematically stretching tissue at a longer length than it is accustomed to, will ‘teach’ to said tissue (through several biological mechanisms) how to reach that length easier, and a bigger length over time. Resting isn’t harmful in PE more than it is in weigthlifting or gymnastics. Not enough rest is way more harmful than rest.

Thanks again marinera. That was exactly what I needed to hear. Now my puzzle what i have struggle with for some time have come to their right places :-)

Many thanks!

Your English is excellent, so: can we have this in 50 words or less?

Thanks too kind Tom. Feel free to reformulate in anyways you like but ‘Just look at my site’. :mutley:

Just joking bro. I’ll try to find a shorter explanation ASAP.

My answer is always “look at my site” — how else can I sell my useless penis enlargement programs?

The good side is that the useful you have there is free. ;)

Marinera I’ve started this type of stretching, and I must say that in almost one year of PE (no gains) I’ve not felt this type of pull on my lig’s before.

Over a week I played around getting a feel for it, but I myself found that when I wake up about 1/2 hr before the alarm clock go’s off, when I’m very relaxed and could easy go back to sleep, I start a progressive stretch up along my belly, every few minutes I go a bit more.

I found that being so relaxed and going slow really helps. In about 1/2 hr I manage 3 upward pulls against my belly, left, right, straight. I really hope this is my key to success.
Thanks and cheers. Buggs

Interesting idea to stretch right after wake up. I have to say my longest FSL is late at night, but if you feel you get a better stretching in another daily time, stretch in that time. Just I hope you don’t renounce to part of your sleeping needs for PE, sleep is very important.

Sorry for the lack of gains, hope these tips will help getting progress; do you have a personal report? Many find helpful to have ‘work in progress’ advices and encouragement from other members.

Yes I found that other times of the day, my brain is to active and I tend to rush without me sensing it and I’m not relaxed and at peace like when I’ve just woken up. I do get mostly 7-8 hr’s sleep but the sun is coming up earlier which wakes me. (Or the dog who then wakes me.)

My Progress is on a note pad that I keep with my lube, I mostly stick to posted routines for 6 to 8 weeks then measure over a few days to get an average measurement ( always a few mm different here and there so I work out an average) and if I don’t see anything good I try something else. At the moment it’s a stretch & pumping based routine. The encouragement that yourself and others give to this site is enough to keep me motivated.
I’m in no rush at all, my ding dong still has her in lust after 21yr’s marriage and if doing these exercises only keeps my ding dong in good working order, then I’m still going to be happy, because a wet pussy is a happy pussy, and a happy pussy is a horny pussy, which means I get more. ;-)

Thanks for posting this exercise.
Cheers Buggs

Ok, I have added two more tips to this post

Golden Rules

I’ve been following the hold don’t pull method for the past week. Starting off with 15-20 minutes of sets of 2 or 3 minutes a hold. I notice a “.5 to .”75” increase by the end. Once I have achieved this have I achieved my goal for the set? Or is the goal to hold stretches at this max length for as long as possible?

The more you keep at that max length, the better, as long it is comfortably enough for your body and nervous system. You should feel fresh enough at the end of the stretching session, otherwise I think the next day you will likely miss the PE session or have a bad session. Better doing 10 minutes everyday than 30 minutes one day and the next two days doing nothing.
