Buckfever's Post Collagen Remodeling Theory with Heat

0% tension

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes reset noose add heat high setting
55 minutes turn off heat
57.5 minutes remove heat pad
60 minutes end session

One observation I’m thinking that the reset of the noose puts too much tension on the glans so will try without that step going forward. Felt pretty damn hot at the end, I think 45 minutes is plenty.

I don’t have a set plan except to slowly move up to 100% tension as that would be a great adaptation.

6%

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat
52.5 minutes turn off heat
57.5 minutes remove pad
60 minutes end session

Because I eliminated the reset of the noose at 5 minutes, this reduces the tension in the system so I added 6 %.

Intend to follow a very slow progression, have no timeline in mind.

6%

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat
52.5 minutes turn off heat
57.5 minutes remove pad
60 minutes end session

Not going to add tension at the end of the session. I perceive the buildup in tension with the extender, when the heat is turned off is plenty.

One observation, the treatment effect at the end of the session, with the Far IR heat is a very different sensation.

Do you use a heat pad for IR Heat? And do you think it’s better than normal heat?

I’m using the Thermedic Far IR heat pad that others here use. I’ve never used heat before so I can not speak to results. Anecdotally it feels robust.

6% of Max tension

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat
52.5 minutes turn off heat
57.5 minutes remove pad
60 minutes end session

Already feels like there’s less tension at the end of the session. Basically that’s how I’m planning to work tension increases. It’ll be based on definite accommodation rather than following a schedule.

12% of Max tension

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat
7.5 minutes add 6% tension
52.5 minutes turn off heat
57.5 minutes remove pad
60 minutes end session

So far so good.

12% of Max tension

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat
7.5 minutes add 6% tension
52.5 minutes turn off heat
56.5 minutes remove pad/end session

Problem today maintaining flaccid when attaching, had to end a little early during the cool down, too much pressure on the glans. Happens sometimes.

Tension really builds up during the cool down.

Thinking on 4 days per week as that seems to be just enough and that’s all I want to do, is just enough.

12% of Max tension

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat
7.5 minutes add 6% tension
52.5 minutes turn off heat
57.5 minutes remove pad
60 minutes end session

Better.

So far, how are your results?

What does that 12% max tension correlate too?

I’m not posting results as they seem too good too soon. I suspect I’m just regaining from the long deload. I think we just have to see if we exceed the previous max lengths.

So I can back out the tension screws about 100 half turns. So I call 12 half turns 12%. I do not have a scale to measure actual tension. I just make sure not to progress until the tension at the end of the sessions has become very very light and the pressure on the glans is minimal.

12% of Max tension

2.5 minutes down position
5 minutes add 6% tension
7.5 minutes add high heat

57.5 minutes remove pad
60 minutes end session

Going good. Slow and steady.

Just one note, for sure need to be careful with the noose, too tight puts too much pressure on the ridge of the glans and reduces the head swell which is helpful for retention. I would say look at the level of blanching and how long it takes for it to resolve as a guide.

Great consistency Buck, you got a nice run going.
