If this does not make a difference I will think about trying to make my pro extender design about to be used for BTC or between the cheeks
jack1015,
Sorry I missed your post and sorry to hear that you have stopped gaining. It happens… I have stopped gaining several times. That is when we seek more knowledge from people who have busted plateaus before.
Good question about extenders. I have to say that this has crossed my mind before. I have used 2 extenders but mainly as stretchers not ADS. I would load them as much as I could tolerate in the SO position. No going public with them on. I would lay in bed with it stretched to the max and try to relax. I always got a nice stretch and a good soreness. So IMO, you can still gain this way. I could not get used to all day wear at a lower stress but I believe that increased time works just as well as increased weight.
You might try some heavy SO work in the AM and PM and a light ADS to stay extended in the time between.
Let’s say that you have a LOT of 10. This means that in the SO angle your ligs are engaged. For awhile you will stretch mainly your ligs with the extender straight out. At some point the tunica anchors will begin to engage more and add more resistance to the stretch. You may even notice that your LOT has dropped to 9 or so. This is when it would be benefitial to focus on either the ligs or the tunica but not both. Of course you can still gain in the SO position but it will take more weight and time.
I am sorry but I do not know what 180 degree bundled stretches. Most guys stretch the ligs before the tunica. The ligs are easier to stretch than the tunica. So this does suggest that you do something to stretch your ligs either SD or BTC. Preferably BTC.
If you do not want to hang then I am sure that someone has invented a stretch that targets the ligs without engaging the tunica.
