Question About Extender

Hello,

Even though I’m new to this forum, I have some experience with penis enlargement. I’ve been trying to find a technique that works for me for some time. I have already tried various manual techniques, pumping and hanging weights in various configurations, but so far with no progress. I didn’t gain even one millimeter in length or circumference. It is so stressful because I put a lot of effort into the exercises, progressed with intensity, took appropriate breaks and monitored the PIs. Unfortunately, no gain occured. Basically, I have already decided to give up on the subject of PE, but there is one more thing that I have not tried yet, namely using a penis extender. I have an LG Hanger Extender at my disposal and I would like to try it out. However, I have a few questions because I have no experience with extenders:

- what is the minimum time of wearing the extender per day?: I spend most of the day at work and I could spend about 5 hours a day wearing the extender, but I don’t know if it is not enough,

- should you wear it every day or do you recommend taking some days off for regeneration?

- should I remove the extender from time to time while wearing it to massage the penis (please note that the LGH Extender is vacuum-based)?

- I know it’s an individual matter, but approximately, on average, what time it takes to see the first results? (I would to know when to give up when there is no growth). Just let me know when your first lenght gains occured while using extender.

I will be extremely grateful for any help and tips

I used an extender for awhile. I didn’t see gains, but I didn’t have the opportunity to wear it as often as I hoped. I had to deal with uncomfortable and awkwardness of it. Maybe I could have figured it out if I stuck with it though. I don’t have a job that allows me to wear one. And I have a family. I don’t like to do my PE in front of my wife, although she knows.

I have been able to stay consistent with an extender at higher tensions for shorter period of times. It hasn’t been a long time yet. I’ve worked up to 7lbs of tension at the highest, and probably limit myself to 60 minutes daily. I take 1-2 days off per week. In addition to the extender, I always use heat. About to upgrade to infrared heat (FIR)

My set up has a vacuum glad cup and sleeve. I can get some good manual stretches with it as well. Grip is always an issue without the cup on, but with, I can pull with more force in all directions, bundled and all that. I’ve recently been incorporating that into my routine.

I’ve gotten lazy at using an ADS. But I am going to restart. I have read in people’s hanging routines here that “healing in an elongated state” helps with length. I have the ability, but need to stay consistent.

So far I have noticed longer erections of about 5/16” EL. Maybe some days it’s more like 3/16” with EQ. But definitive improvement. My stretched flaccid was about 7 1/8” and now is 7 7/8” - it isn’t as much as it sounds. I still got about an 1” in fat pad. Those are bone pressed numbers and also measured with extender on.

Dont give up. I’ve been at it for a long time with mixed results. Inconsistent. But finally found something that’s kinda working and hopefully continues to work.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Basically, I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to make any progress. I don’t know if I should try the extender because I’m afraid I will waste time and it will turn out to be a failure again. I’m also considering trying hanging weights again, this time with a lighter starting weight, slower weight progression and a few days off during the week. Maybe I went too far with the intensity last time: I got to 13 lbs, had no progress and developed a blister.

My program is based off of hanging. I just don’t think I can pull off the logistics of hanging. Using a high tension extender where i can gauge the tension has been a good alternative for me. I can do all my stretching laying down in bed with a heat pad. I have worked up to 7lbs, but I won’t work past that for as long as i am seeing gains. I have heard of the steel cord effect and I want to avoid that. I need at least 4 weeks of no gains before I consider another bump up in tension.

I have the apex extender with vacuum cup and sleeves from totalman. I also got the clip on tension gauge to give an estimate of pulling force. I measure often. My main way I measure is Straight Out while in the extender. This gives me a good indication of if I am hitting new lengths or at least close. I’ve been noticing most of my progress in the stretcher. When trying to translate that to Erect Length, it sometimes doesn’t feel like much progress although gaining 1/4” in visible length is really good. But measuring and trying to stay max erect at the same time isn’t easy, seems every time I go to grab the tape, my EL drops a little. I can easily vary from 6” - 6 1/4” depending on EQ. That’s NBPEL.

You say you have an extender already. Maybe an option you can do is hang for 2x20 minutes and then go into the extender for a few hours at moderate to light tension. Even 2x15 minutes.

When is the last time you did a hanging routine? If it has been recently, you may have to take a reconditioning break for awhile.

You need to practice one day and rest one day for six to eight months （Primary stage）
Then five days and rest one day （Advanced stage）
One day of exercise and one day of rest is also suitable for the high intensity and heavy weight exercise adaptation phase
Count your training time strictly and take a month off every 10 months

If you train hard and don’t make progress you don’t rest enough
If you can eat a little medicine of course it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat it
1，Epimedium brevicornu Maxim 2，Eurycoma Longifolia ，
You can use a non-irritating massage cream

Fisiocrem Solugel
Elmore Oil Arthritis Relief

You write all of this as if they were facts based on scientific research. (I am not saying i disagree with everything you say, just with the way you said it)

MattHughes, be careful about whose advice you take, there is no one person who knows it all, we are all just trying to come up with conclusions on what works and what doesnt based on our own experiences and the experiences shared by others.

I read a lot about extending, and the one thing thats repeated a lot is that what matters the most is time under tension. So the answer to how much should you extend is as much as you can manage. The other question that comes up a lot is the traction, there are a lot of posts that say between 900-1500g is optimal for growth, but i have went trough a lot of progress report threads and many say they had most success with 2000-3000g traction.
The rest days, decons, are a mistery to me. Lots of "PE veterans" with contradictory advice. Some say you need 3 days on 1 day off, some say you dont need any day offs. You can find just about any combination of rest day/workout day recommendations you want . However most people seem to agree that you should listen to your body and do PE based on how you feel.
The other thing is heat. It is now almost universally agreed that heat helps, so i would look into that if i was you. There are different options, simple heat pads, rice socks, or more "advanced" heat pads that have all kinds of other reasons on why they apparently help with PE such as far infrared (FIR), near infrared (NIR), ultra sound (US).

Its hard to say why you didnt have any gains so far. Maybe you didnt do enough, maybe you did too much. Maybe you did the exercises incorrectly. If you search this forum, there are lots of different examples. Some people seem to gain a lot in a short amount of time, for some the same results take years to achieve, and some dont gain at all. I dont know whats true, but it seems logical that if PE works for one, there is no reason why it shouldnt work for someone else.

Of course all my knowledge is based on his videos
He said exercise for a day rest for a day Take one month off for every 10 months of training
I followed what he said strictly and I got great success

As for 5 days and 1 day off is my powerlifting habit
I took it into the dick workout and it worked fine
I didn’t overdo it

My point was, just because it worked for you it doesnt mean it is the way. There are people out there who claim they gained 2+ inches just from jelqing an stretching and there are people who did the same and gained nothing.

Hi,

Thank you all for your replies. It took a while, but I read about extenders and weight hanging, I thought about the whole thing and I think that I will go back to training with weight hanger (LGHanger). But this time with a different approach. Previously, I trained every day (according to the instructions for the LG Hanger Extender), I had 2 sessions a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Each session consisted of two series of 30 minutes each. I increased the weight gradually and after a few months I reached 13 lbs. And even though the weight was adequate, I caused a minor injury - a blister appeared. This happened because while training with a weight of 13 lbs, I was forced to take a week off (I had exams), and after returning I immediately went back to a weight of 13 lbs - I got injured during the first session. Fortunately, after 2 weeks everything returned to normal.

I think the reason for the lack of progress was overtraining. Now I will try to go back to LGHanger, but with a different workout. What do you think about:

- 1 session a day, start with a low weight and 2 sets of 30 minutes, gradually increasing the weight (once a week).

-scheme: 2 training days + 1 day break, etc

- solid warm-up before training (with gel pad)

-a solid warm-up after training (with gel pad)

And what do you think about putting on an extender with a medium tension after training with hanger (as someone suggested earlier), I mean extender worn for a few hours, and removed once an hour for massaging.

I think hanger + extender should work fine together, but i have no personal experience. In theory if hanging is stretching your ligaments more and extending works by promoting cell division in then they should work. If you search im sure you will find people who have done both with success. Its just gonna be hard to tell what actually gave you the gains if you have any. The extender or the hanger? Maybe both?
Have you looked into hanging with FIRe thread? Thats what seems to be the "meta" nowadays when people choose hanging.

I feel you with the injuries. I tried hanging for a few months but always had to take breaks because of blisters. I have tried so many different ways with taping and wrapping and what not, and you think you finally got it after many sessions with no injuries, and then boom you get a blister…

Hey Matt - I’ve been using the Quick Extender Pro for the past 3 years (it’s a noose extender, rather than a vacuum one). But it’s the same in principle. Anyway, here’s my thoughts/opinions:

- minimum time wearing an extender is probably 2 hours a day. Maximum, I’d say about 8 hours. Obviously, the more/longer you wear it, the quicker you will see results. But 5 hours is fine and you should definitely see results 👍

- there’s lots of different opinions on "days off", lol. I would listen to your body/penis though and you can usually "feel" when you need a day or two off. I think I took 1 day off every week for the first 6 months/year. Currently, I take a couple days off every 4-5 days. As I said, try and listen to your body

- definitely remove the extender and give yourself a massage, every so often. I’d do it every couple of hours, or if it gets uncomfortable

- hopefully you should see some results in 2-3 months, if not sooner. I know it will be difficult, but try not to measure yourself all the time/every day - do it every 2-3 weeks. And importantly, always measure yourself the same way, with the same tape measure or ruler - that’s the only way you’re going to know if you’ve grown at all.

Good luck, bud! 💪
