Vacextender and stretch
I have a question with regards to extenders.
First I am not a newbie and I am conditioned. I have been wearing Monkeybar’s Vacextender 2 for about 20 hours and I noticed that my stretched position that I wear is roughly just short of my flacid stretch limit. I can definitely increase the stretch to equal that of my flaccid stretch but anything beyond that is uncomfortable. I also want to add that my flaccid stretch is roughly equal that of my erect stretch measurement.
So the questions that I have are:
1. How much stretch should I strive for? Meaning should I go for slightly beyond my flaccid stretch to gain the most benefit?
2. Does wearing an extender up or down matter? I read in some threads that wearing down helps with ligament stretch while wearing up tends to be hit the tunica only.
3. How much rest should I incorporate in my routine? I am shooting for 7 days of wearing the extender, roughly 5 to 7 hours, more or less each day.
One other thing to note is that I am currently re-doing the newbie routine to compliment my extender wear. I do 2 on and 1 off as well as stretching on those days.
Thanks in advance for your comments and advice!
