Hanging vs. Manual stretching

Question, I manually stretch hard for 20 min every day. If I do consistent 5 min stretches with no warm up every 2 or 3 hours from then until I go to bed, would that be equivalent to an ads in that it won’t allow the results to shrink back to their original state?

Every now and again stories come along of guys who have made fantastic gains from manual stretching. These guys nearly always seem to stretch whenever they get the opportunity, often doing over 5 stretching sessions per day. Because manual stretching and jelqing are usually combined in routines, they are often treated as the same in terms of frequency. Yet I suspect to get the most benefit out of stretching and jelqing, each exercise needs an entirely different timetable. With jelqing it seems that often less and more and that rest days are almost a requirement. Yet with stretching, more is more and rest days are the enemy. If I’m honest, I’d like to remove jelqing from the newbie routine. I know it is seen as the core exercise in all PE, but I think it’s the worst erecise and feel it’s only so widely accpeted as it was sold as a secret technique in the back of magazine before the internet. It’s almost as if jelqing is PE and other exercise are just extras. It works, but I’m not at all convinced it’s any safer than gradual pumping and manual clamping. In fact when I look at the injuries thread, most serios injuires (ie ED and leaks etc) seem to be casued by jelqing.

Your right, Girth gains are different. Although there is a different kind of tissue surrounding the corpus cavernosa it too is a very tough kind of cartilage. That is what needs to be expanded but it doesn’t get expanded from hanging exercises. I say that with one caveat and that is that girth gains will come along with the ride to greater length gains but that is kind of a side note and not to be depended on. In my career when I got to my upper length gains I noticed that my girth was greater as well even though I hadn’t been doing any girth work particularly.

I don’t see why that approach shouldn’t work. I’d say give it a try for a month or two and see what happens to your gains. If they are consistent, then good enough.
