Using golf weights to stretch- the best fulcrum stretching I've EVER done

Hey Printman, how’d you get such a quick length in so short a time? I did this one as well.only I started with one for one minute each direction and went to a total of five stacked.stacking one on after each “4 minute session” only I started stacking Cable Clamps between the donuts after I finished the third set. I got a nice “beat weenie” look and I can tell it’s definitely shaping me up. Are you getting that length from hanging? Thanks.

MrNYC et. al.,

My signature may be a little misleading regarding when I started PE. In actuality, I started my PE in a haphazard and undisciplined manner in August of 2011 but my routine was unfocused and I was largely uneducated. I discovered Thundersplace in September lurked for a little while and then in October, I started with a very disciplined program. The “golf weight” innovation was integrated into my routine about 3 weeks ago and I am now fully convinced that it is the best way to do manual stretching (for me).

Since October my routine has been:

Manual Stretching: 20 minutes daily. I do this without the golf weights for about 5 minutes and with the golf weights for the remaining 15. I don’t know if it is due to my hand strength, but I can’t seem to manage more than 30 seconds of pulling in any direction. I also carry one of the golf weights with me when I am at work and I am usually able sneak in a couple 10 minute stretching sessions during the day when I use the head. My sense is that these mini sessions have a significant impact, but I’m kinda guessing.

Jelqing / Clamping: 15 minutes of slow jelqs and 10 minutes of focused and intense clamping once a day ( I wish that I had time to Clamp more!). This usually happens right when I get home from work so my hit rate has been around 80% for this component of my routine.

Hanging: I have made a Capt’s Wench and I use it to hang for 30 to 45 minutes a day. This usually happens late at night. I started with 10 lbs and have worked my way up to 15 lbs at this point. I do my hanging in front of a space heater to keep the temperature up.

ADS: I made an ADS out of a wrist guard, a leather strap and some light bungee cord. I wear it pretty much any time that I am not doing PE or wearing shorts. I consistently get in 4 hours a day but have gone as long as 7 hours on occasion.

I do not take days off … and so far, I have had no injuries of negative experiences. (knock wood !!!)

I need to get better at using heat and doing a rigorous warm up each time I PE. I do the best that I can but I know I need to do more / better.

Since I have been using the golf weights, I have had a different kind of soreness (in a good way) than I did with the traditional manual stretches. I am also feeling like my hanging sessions are more productive … but I don’t have enough data to confirm that yet.

I know that my early gains will taper off soon and I will be in for a plateau … I just hope that I can get to 7.5 X 5.75 before that happens. Then I am expecting that it will take at least another year after that to reach my ultimate goals.

I’m having trouble finding these online in the EU. When I go to Amazon or EbayUK I come up with nothing. Anyway have suggestions on where to get them or know perhaps some other name they go by to find them here?

Golf weights are fine but they limit usage to fulcrums as when you try to use them for an ADS you find yourself getting pinched and if your driving it can cause you to go blind. I’ve had it happen. lol

Very impressive gains, Printman!

I found them at Direct Golf UK, Swing Weight Ring, made by a company called Golf Locker, had to buy 7 @ £1.59 to not pay for postage and packaging.

They don’t use Royal Mail for posting, and it took two weeks to get a suitable delivery date from their courier DPD, but seeing as I did not pay for postage, I don’t mind.

Curious, is it necessary for the rings to be “tight” when they are on.

I’m wondering if I can just buy the larger rings to start with, save me some money.

No the rings should not be tight as that would cut off circulation and cause swelling. A real no, no.

The larger rings are really larger. If you need the larger rings then that’s one thing but I only sell less than 1% of the enlarged rings. Unless your inordinately large in girth the standard rings will work fine. Remember you measure girth in the stretched flaccid state.

I continue to be a “golf weights” convert.

Here is another benefit. For me, stealth is very important. Consequently, my hanging is limited to SD hanging down in the basement.

Using a hanging chair and a proper fulcrum set-up just doesn’t seem to be in the cards at the moment.

The golf weights however are arguably the best manual fulcrum exercise that I have seen on on this forum (or any other for that matter).

From a stealth perspective, if the golf weights are found by some snooping teenager or the wife … there is very little chance of them making the connection …

Have you tried a pvc pipe? I ask only because I imagine that as being just as stealth so I was wondering if that means you find the function or ease of use or something being better with golf weights.

I like the golf weights because I think that they are among the best ways to get a good tunica stretch at numerous points along the shaft.

I started with 4 weights which essentially gives me 4 locations for manual fulcrum stretches. I have since added a 5th weight to my routine. If all goes well, I hope that my gains necessitate the addition of a 6th weight … stay tuned!

It is also very comfortable because of the rounded edge and soft rubber lining of the weights. I’m not sure that tis wouldbe the case with a piece of PVC pipe.

Fulcrum hanging is probably the best tunica stretching alternative but that requires the use of a hanging chair and/or other infrastructure that is unfortunately not realistic in my living situation.

Printman are you just stretching for length or have you tried clamping straight after using the golf weights to see if the expansion is better ?

I meant just having a pvc pipe laying across the lap and sitting in normal chair.. But I’m probably missing something on what’s actually required to get good fulcrum (I thought it was just having a pvc pipe, basically). Well I’m glad that I’ve ordered some rings then. Thanks, by the way, to zdnili. To anyone looking for rings in the EU, I know the seller he shared is certainly the best one I was ever able to find. Can’t wait to receive mine!

Capernucus1,
Up until about 3 weeks ago I had been going for both length and girth and was doing a stupidly complex and time consuming routine as you may have seen in oy previous post. I have since invested a bit of time reading in the Hangers forum and on BIB’s forum and have decided to focus on length and scale back my girth routine to a maintenance level. That means that I have stopped doing clamping for the time being and just do Jelqs ndd Ulis. I will do this for 3 or 4 months and see if I can push through the plateau that I seem to be in … then I’ll make a decision as to whether to start clamping again and maybe give pumping a try. To your point though, I think that clamping after the golf weight session is an excellent means of maximizing the expansion if girth is your focus.

For length and I am looking to get 8 to 10 hours of hanging in a week with no rest days … I don’t work from home and getting in the hours is a real challenge. I am using between 12 and 17 lbs in order to get to fatigue. I can only do straight down hanging most of the time but when I have the privacy, I try and sneak in some fulcrum hanging using a chair and the duct tape/ rice sock contraption that I learned about on the BIB forum. (vkn1 … This is my alternative to using a pvc pipe. I prefer it because I can heat up the rice sock in the microwave before my hanging sessions)

The hanging that I do I believe is hitting my Ligaments mostly. I use the the golf weight sessions to hit my tunica. I try and do 2 sets for 30 seconds in each direction for each of my 5 golf weights. That is SD, SU, Left and Right for 30 seconds twice for each weight. That usually takes about 25 minutes and i really feel it at the end of the session.

I’ve been doing PE seriously for about 4 months and while I have been very diligent, I have been less than consistent when it comes to my routine. I am hoping that now I have learned enough to settle in on a consistent routine and will be able to stretch my Johnson for all that it is worth.

No BTC hanging, Printman? It seems that angle more effectively targets and isolates the ligs as compared to SD.
