Monty, Wantsmore, et. al. ,
I have read with great interest your thoughts and experience on the use of golf weights for manual stretching and ADS. THe technique is innovative, practical and apparently very effective. Thank you for keeping this thread alive with fresh content for several years now. I am off to Sears today to buy some if these golf weights to give this a try … and I am pretty enthusiastic based on what I have read. Specifically, I have the impression that this is a much more efficient technique … i.e. you get more impact from the time that you put into your PE sessions.
The one thing that confuses me is that the last 4 or 5 pages of this thread make it sound like the general experience of the practitioners of this technique have experienced more girth gains than length gains.
When I initially read this thread I got the impression that this was a way to make your manual stretches more intense and effective because the fulcrum applies more force at various points along the shaft …
I expected that this would have a more significant impact on length.
My goals include both length and girth. I have had encouraging gains but I have roughly another 1.5 inches to go in length and .75 to go in girth. I am not too concerned about which comes first … but if pressed for an answer I would lean toward length.
I understand that the conventional wisdom is that it is better to go for length exclusively first and work on girth later … I just have a hard time mustering the patience and would rather attack both objectves at the same time.
My Questions:
1. How is it that the golf weight technique is viewed as more of girth exercize than a length exercize?
2. My routine consists of an hour of hanging (10lbs) a day, 20 minutes of manual stretching and 30 minutes of Jelqing and clamping.
My intention is to use the golf weights during my manual stretching and extend that to 30 minutes a day.
If I can achieve the required stealth under my pants, I would also like to add some ADS (with the golf weights) to my regimen.
Am I shooting myself in the foot going for both length and girth at the same time?
