If using a radiant lamp, there is no way to achieve target temps. Without burning the skin on the shaft and legs. I’ve tried several times. The physics simply doesn’t work. The wrap works because it effectively creates an oven heating conductively from all directions. Even then, wraps only achieve target temps in the distal shaft. But yes with clamping you can better ensure higher temps. The problem is that you shouldn’t stay clamped for too long.
Thank you for the reply Tutt.
Actually, I was talking about MOS-RED which posses Red and NIR light, which you can turn on separately from each other. Joovv products might be another example. Compared to the wraps they are more powerful in term of watts or light output, 300W.
Now, in your opinion, if we combine vacuum hanging with a slight clamp (enough to reduce the circulation of blood, but not too much to stop it completely) at the end of the shaft with only NIR light switched on, do you think we can successfully achieve the desired temperature? Clamping no more than 8 minutes straight and releasing for 2 minutes. I would assume 39C or 40C is easily achieved using this method.
So, we might stay between our 0.1-0.17 mpa weight ranges comfortably doing this exercise and achieving the necessary strain each time.
I was thinking 40 exercise days, 60 minute each:
- combining length and girth together, 20 each
- 1 day on and 1 day off
- start with length and next exercise do girth
- girth is comprised of only clamping using heat and perhaps adding additional clamps if we can manage during the exercise, 8 minutes clamped and 2 minutes release for a maximum of 50 minutes and last 10 minutes clamped without heat
I firmly believe that with this routine I can get the most out of length and girth at the same time, get enough rest in-between and achieve max strain with each exercise.
Any suggestion/review/tip from you is highly welcomed.
