Long Grass, Latency, Mad Dog and others -
If you are experiencing loss of morning wood, soreness after 24 hours, and/or difficulty getting into your stretcher from one session to the next, then these are physiological indicators of overtraining. Please read Sparkyx’s excellent thread on PI’s for more details. Just search the website - you’ll find it.
In my own experience with the Penimaster, I have experienced good gains as long as I watched my own physiological indicators. Also, I very quickly learned that, for me, it was not necessary to wear the Penimaster 9 or 10 hours a day to get results as such times even wearing a band (let alone a noose that is downright dangerous) for 9 hours quickly led to negative indicators. Here’s what my routine evolved into:
Morning: put on the penimaster for 1 hour - see how much the tension bar shifts, if any towards a more loose condition at the end of that hour. Take the device off, shake your unit to establish blood flow and warmth/color, then wrap the entire package (both cock and balls) snugly but not too tight with a Therap wrist wrap. Go about your business for 2-3 hours. Watch and note what level of pump or engorgement you get wearing the wrap. A good pump is a positive indication just as good morning erections are.
Noon: repeat the morning session. If you have trouble getting into the stretcher because it is now too tight, then you probably need at least 2 days rest, if not more.
Late afternoon: Repeat the noon session. Stay wrapped until you retire.
Note: I do not recommend wearing any kind of stretcher, wrap, or any form of constriction when you sleep.
Repeat the steps above - 5 days active, 2 days total rest.
If I consistently have trouble getting into my stretcher for more than 3 days in succession, then I take an extended break for a month or so. This means you have to watch the rod setting on your stretcher very carefully as they can sometimes move around due to your body motion. However, those threaded rods and the spring tension are, over time, your best indication of how you are doing and how your unit is responding along with how you feel and the quality of your erections.
For more information about the TheraP wrist wrap and how to use it, search this site for PEFOREAL and his excellent thread about the Homedics THeraP magnetic wrist wrap. It is being used by pumpers, hangers, clampers - and even this poor old stretcher user.
All the Best,
