Big upgrade/redesign with huge benefit
I recently updated/upgraded my setup. On days when I’m not at my desk for prolonged periods I’ve found using this setup as a great second option for my length training. With my new setup I can pull high tension and reach elongation rates similar to my hanging sessions with about 2 hours of use.
I’m using the same silicone pessary ring, but I upgraded to a 5 foot piece of 1.5" wide heavy duty elastic band, a plastic strap slider and heavy duty swivel clip.
I wrapped the band several times around the setup so the tension is pulling a total of 4 segments of overlapping elastic band. So I can get a LOT of tension. I don’t have an in-line scale, so I can’t say for certain how much, but it feels like a heavy hanging set and I have to take a break every 30 minutes or so from local fatigue at the point where the ring is in contact with my shaft.
The thicker elastic band is also way more comfortable, and the adjustability is easy so I can shorten it for each set as needed to increase tension or keep it relatively constant as I elongate.
It’s been nice to have as a backup to hanging. It’s totally stealth under clothes and I can get a lot done while wearing it and don’t have to find a reason to disappear into my office when I’m not working from home. With less than a month of use I can’t say that I’ve gotten gains from it yet, but with elongation rates being similar it seems reasonable to expect they will.
