From what point do we extend?

From what point do we start extending :

1) from BPSFL or
2) from flaccid length pulled little

This would make a difference in tension.

i.e when we put our extender on, is the penis already stretched to max flaccid length ?
This would mean the tension on extender = tension to pull flaccid max + spring tension.

asking this because if we make 1to1 comparison between hanging and extending tension, extending at 2.5lbs is much higher than hanging at 2.5lbs.

No, one’s extender set up, without load, should be such that they are required to stretch their penis slightly to get into it while compressing the extender. Once in the extender they should be able to dial through the various tension settings, such as 33% through 100%. If they strap in and let go and immediately the load sets to 66%+ tension, then the extender rods should probably be reduced. On the other side, if one cannot hit 100% tension, then rods probably need to be added to increase the length of the system.

Here we are describing a situation where the load is equal. When the springs are engaged on the extender it takes a specific amount of force to take the springs to say, 33% tension. Depending on the spring specifications, 33% will always be 3.00 lbs and is indicating that 3 lbs of forces is currently being placed on the penis.

When hanging, the force applied will be equal to the weight one has on the other end of their attachment mechanism. This will be true unless one is using a compound pulley system, which will then reduce the force required to “hang” the load.

I may have missed the point of what you are asking or describing, so let’s definitely keep the discussion going and see if anyone else might also have some thoughts to add.

I think things would be more clear when I get mine.
I forgot to add I ordered a slider based extender from Totalman. It doesn’t have markings etc

In standard extender visible marking means no tension and if we stretch more marking go away indicating tension.
Wondered how this works in slider one .

I got my slider extender and am loving it. Extending is finally comfortable for me, not discreet though.

So I rotate the bottom screws until the penis extends with no spring compression i.e no tension. Then I add 2 lbs from there.
This is still less than my BPFSL as I need more force to reach there.

I did 30minx3 last week, Trying 1hr sets today.
I think there is minimum blood cutoff as tension is low and we need to keep the hanger tight enough to not slip, just not too tight. Like I would slip for 3lbs now without tightening.
