Continuing on with the above post, some ideas and things that I think are noteworthy ..
The first session of the day seems to take the longest to fully strain the penis before US application. It can take up to an hour to reach full strain. Later sessions achieve strain quicker.
I believe that multiple hanging sessions per day are good for gains. I can see that if I leave 8-12 hours in between sessions on the same day, that it takes much longer to reach full strain, than if I do another session just a few hours after the previous one. I have better flaccid hang in the hours after a hanging session.
IR lamp is *crucial* for pre-straining before US device. As Kyrpa has emphasized, you want to have achieved full strain before applying the extra level of heat.
There is a difference between what 3kg and what 4kg will get me. Maybe 5kg would be even more, but my glans can’t really handle that kind of pressure, even with tape. Or maybe it could, but I’m comfortable here, it’s working, and I don’t want to risk a blister.
I can often feel now when strain is occurring, especially when I’m already close to maximum session strain, even if it’s just a 1mm gain in 5-10 minutes. Sometimes I use this feel to extend a set on any particular weight, before changing it.
Pre/post session BPFSL I’m measuring only like 4mm, or about 2.2% strain. There is an interesting discrepancy between the measured length at session start with 2kg, and length at session end with 2kg. That difference was about 7mm today, even though I’m only measuring 4mm post-session. I believe this difference can be accounted for by stress-relaxation.
At this point I’m going to see if I can get a journal started in a whole separate thread, else I’ll end up taking up too much space on this one. I’m not sure if I have enough posts to start a new thread tho. Maybe I’ll have to wait.
