Better results without heat

Hello

I am always hanging with a heat pad from Totalman. Since i am trying to get another baby, i stopped using the heatpad for the last 3 months. And now i notice that i got 8mm gains within that period. Much more then i had before. Didn’t want to post it too early, because i know how important heat is and i don’t want people to not use heat because of my post, but maybe someone had similar experiences?

Interesting. Have you changed anything else in your routine?

I’ve never used ANY heat in my PE exercises/routine… personally, I don’t think it’s necessary 🤷‍♂️.

I didn’t change anything in my routine.

There is something about changing things up that are good.

Q1?
How long have you hanged for?
- Maybe you were up for a big gain and it just happened to happen at the same time as stopping heat?

Q2?
Do you think having heat and then going cold had something to do with it
- Theory: For me, I notice that heat gets me stretchy, perhaps there is something there that after you use 30 min of RED + NIR for a few months you have stretched the max and now your D is looking for something else.

Last note:
In general, for any newbie for at least the first year, always use heat to warm up. I can say after a year you know the pressure and your limits so well, you know what you can and cannot do with or without heat. I know that if I have heat, I can be a bit more aggressive earlier, without heat I need more time to reach a good pull. This only comes with experience though!!!

One last note for newbies: I noticed that when I started doing some manual stretches without heat, I did more of it, I’m doing it in the car, while watching TV, while online. When normally I do my first hang with NIR+RED for 30 min, I basically just did 30 min a day. I felt now after 6 months, I need a bit more time hanging. Notice what I said… AFTER 6 months of hanging with heat but I have been on a routine for 1 year of jelq, uli, and water pumping. This is not for newbies.

Everyman is different! Do what your body is asking for.

I had some success early on without heat, but much better since adding it. I tried a lot of things for heat, but my go to is a regular heating pad, then the total man pad.
