Another extender log - ViBS

Week 5 complete! 4 sessions this week, and annoyingly I gave myself another blister. I should’ve been listening to my body more, there’s a light stinging pain when one forms. Hopefully it’ll clear up by Monday, but we’ll see. Measured again this morning, no noticeable change in BPFSL or BPEL, though there might be some small growth (<0.25"). Again, some small changes to the routine, I don’t feel like the higher tensions are doing anything more for me.
1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes
2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)
3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)
4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried vibration when it comes to stretching/hanging? I read an interesting paper the other day that claimed athletes (gymnasts) who do their stretches on a vibration machine make better progress with flexibility. They also mention heat, which sparks some similarities to what we do here.

Had to let the blister fully heal, so only 1 session this week. Unfortunate, but I won’t let it stop me!

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes

2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)

3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)

4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

Back at it, 5 sessions this week. Didn’t bother measuring due to the off week, and I have plans next week that will get in the way too. Either way still feeling pretty good!
1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes
2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)
3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)
4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

I’ve noticed that the majority of the stretch currently is on the top and middle of my shaft. This lines up, since my dick can bend upwards pretty easily even when erect, but it’s a challenge to bend it downwards at all. Hopefully once that part of my tunica is more flexible, the stretch can start affecting the rest of it, and growth can actually happen.

Week 8 complete. 3.5 sessions this week, had some plans that got in the way. No changes to the routine either, still jelqing and edging, and keeping up an active healthy lifestyle. Measured this week, no noticeable change in BPFSL or BPEL.
1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes
2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)
3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)
4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

While I’m not losing faith in the process, I am wondering when any gains should start showing? I’d say my BPEL can vary by maybe 0.25" day by day, so it’s very hard to tell if any progress is being made.

Week 9 complete! Got four sessions before giving myself a blister. Again. This one I barely even felt, which was surprising. Either way I guess I’m back on a small break. No changes to the routine. I have been doing some more active stretching with the extender though. Because of how the Apex is built, I can just twist my dick 180 degrees and extend while like that. I’m hoping this helps get a more even stretch.

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes

2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)

3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)

4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

Didn’t I tell you you needed a cable mesh jacket ？

You’ve been injured and blisters over and over again and have you ever thought that your equipment (vacuum) is a dangerous way to exercise?

Penis injury again and again will let you push (scar) dangerous edge

people if you have scars are difficult to heal, penis exercise is a healthy way of exercise rather than let yourself get scars can not heal

hope you seriously consider your exercise process whether you do something wrong steps (if the exercise often blisters give up this method)

This forum has so many people that have gotten results from it, and most of the blisters have come from my own attempts to overstretch. But you’re right, I’m definitely causing more harm than good at the moment. Going forward I’m going to make sure to remove the vacuum every 45 minutes or so to make sure no blisters are forming. I’m also going the keep the tension low (below 5 lbs). The only reason there’s enough pressure to cause blisters is because I’m pulling too hard, so I’m eliminating that.

Week 10 complete. Only two session, of course, as I was letting the blister heal fully. As mentioned I’m keeping the tension lower overall, and taking the extender off at regular intervals to make sure everything looks right. I also ordered a LeLuv pump, cause I figure it would be nice to add some extra stuff to my routine, an compared to the extender it’s not nearly as expensive. Some changes to the routine:

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes

2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)

3) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)

4) ~3-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

Overall not too discouraged, just trying to figure out what works for me.

To avoid blisters = Water method

I am very blister prone myself, haven’t had one since I started using water in the vacuum cup

I’ll definitely look into the water method!
Week 11 complete! 5 sessions, all of them went very well. I’ve been noticing that after extending my flaccid size is probably ~0.75" longer, even accounting for my glans getting stretched by the extender. Not sure if that indicates anything permanent, but it’s nice. Measured this week, no noticeable change in stretched flaccid or erect length. No changes to the routine:
1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes
2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)
3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)
4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

Got my pump in this week, just doing some low pressure low time stuff, to ease into it. It’s pretty fun!

Week 12 complete! Another 5 sessions, all of them giving a good stretch. No measuring this week. I ended up using the heat multiple times throughout the day, instead of just during the "routine" part. I’ve also adding some pumping every other day, just 5 minutes x3, with a 1 minute break in between. I didn’t buy a gauge with the pump, but I’m not getting any fluid buildup (any only a few red dots), so it must be a relatively low pressure. Either way, it’s a really satisfying feeling!

No changes to the routine:

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes

2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)

3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)

4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

Week 13 Complete! Only two sessions this week, got a new injury. On the bottom of my shaft there’s some kind of bruise, probably from extending. It’s only on the skin level, so I know my fascia and other stuff is ok, but it was uncomfortable to extend with, so I stopped. However, I continued to pump and jelq to try and make up for it.

And on that note: Progress!! I measured today, and my BPFSL is officially past the 6.5" mark, my BPEL is also well past the 6.25" mark, but not quite to that next half. I also measured my MSEG (since I haven’t since starting), and it’s almost 4.75"! For reference, I don’t consider any changes under 0.25" to be "progress", since my EQ can vary by about that much on a day-to-day basis. I also always round down to the nearest 0.25", for consistency. Pretty ecstatic about this though!

No changes to the extender routine, but adding some clarification:
1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes
2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)
3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)
4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)
5) After this just keeping it on as long as I reasonably can, occasionally putting the heat pad back on.

For the days that I wasn’t extending due to the injury, my routine was:
3 sets of 5 minutes in the pump, done 2-3 times throughout the day
50-100 Jelqs

Week 14 complete, and 5 sessions this week. No measuring, just keeping up the process. I’ve also been doing some skin stretches on my shaft, since I can tell the skin around my crotch is getting pulled forward.

No changes to the extender routine:

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes

2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)

3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)

4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

5) After this just keeping it on as long as I reasonably can, occasionally putting the heat pad back on.

6) 4 sets of 5 minutes in the pump, done twice this week.

Week 15 complete. Hard to believe it’s been almost 4 months! 5 sessions this week as usual, just keeping the consistency. I have been trying to massage the deeper parts of my tunica while extended more. At a 3lbs stretch, my shaft feels relatively flexible, but the closer the base I get, the tighter and more rigid it gets.

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes

2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)

3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)

4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)

5) After this just keeping it on as long as I reasonably can, occasionally putting the heat pad back on.

6) 4 sets of 5 minutes in the pump, done twice this week.

Measured this week as well. No noticeable increase, but no losses either.

Week 16 down, officially 4 months in. I should probably consider doing a Decon month or so soon. 4 sessions this week, and I replaced the final one with a hanging session instead (2.5lbs). I figured my suspensory ligament might be lagging behind in flexibility, so I focused heat and vibration there. Otherwise, no changes to the routine.

1) ~1-3 lbs - 10 minutes
2) ~3-4 lbs - 15 minutes (High heat)
3) ~4-5 lbs - 15 minutes (Low heat)
4) ~4-5 lbs - 10 minutes (pad removed)
5) After this just keeping it on as long as I reasonably can, occasionally putting the heat pad back on.
6) 4 sets of 5 minutes in the pump, done twice this week.
