Buckfever's progress report/bananaman story.

8/24/2018

100% Max tension @ 60 minutes

Glans is still beat up a bit so only one session today. Probably keep it at one session till things get well conditioned at this extender length and tension.

8/26/2018

100% Max tension @ 61 minutes.

Sitting slightly forward in the cradle. So a little bit of accommodation.

With the extender you need to pay attention to the position of the glans in the cradle, otherwise you can be fooled into thinking you’re making more progress than you actually are. But also as accommodation occurs you’ll start further forward and not be able to handle as much tension or duration. It’ll make you think you’re losing ground but you’re not. Just something to keep an eye on.

8/28/2018

Morning session pressed for time:

100% max tension @ 32.5 minutes

Afternoon:

42% max tension @ 60 minutes

This was a new high for tension for that duration for a second session of the day. Slow and steady. Doing what we can before the holiday causes us to fall off.

8/29/2018
a.m.
57% max tension @ 65 minutes

p.m.
42% max tension @ 65 minutes

Making a focused effort on longer session duration.

8/30/2018 a.m.

71% max tension @ 60 minutes.

Continuing to favor the longer sessions. Really would like to get 10 hour long sessions a week, tucking it in when I’m on the computer.

9/5/2018

5 days off, starting back up.

57% max tension @ 45 minutes

9//7/2018 Update

57% max tension @ 60 minutes

Getting back on track.

9/8/2018

85% max tension @ 40 minutes

Pressed for time so I upped the tension a little.

Keep pushing forward Buck!

9/8/2018

57% max tension @ 27.5 minutes

Overzealous with the tension on the second session.

9/9/2018

Yesterday p.m. session

55 minutes @ 14% max tension, all told 131.5 minutes for the day, trying to get back on a roll.

Today a.m.

62 minutes @ 71% max tension.

Creeping it back up.

Having been at this for a while now, using what I think would be regarded a higher tension, I am of the opinion that 10-17 hours/week would be the optimal protocol for me, or more specifically 10-17 hour long sessions. I am of the opinion that sessions closer to 60 minutes are much more fruitful than sessions less than 45 minutes. And that when using higher tension the limiting factor becomes firstly the condition of the glans and secondly the condition of the tissues at the point of attachments. And the truth is that I’m not sure that 17 hours/week would actually be sustainable/tolerable for the tissues, in my case. I have not had the time to actually explore that, but when I approach that in the short run things get pretty beat up.

I don’t think this is simple. You really need to pay attention to how your equipment is responding to the treatment.

Hi Buckfever

Great job at staying with your routine. I tried amping up the tension with the extender I’m using. But I would ended up to sore and would have to take the rest of the day off. It’s just that higher tensions does give me better results. Or what appears better results in the short term. After taking off the extender my flaccid length stays longer with higher tension than with lower tension.

Thank you buckfever for your logs. With out them i would be in the dark. When it comes to exploring different levels of extender tensions.

9/10/2018

85% max tension @ 40 minutes

Again pressed for time.

9/11/2018

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

Progress.

9/12/2018

100% max tension @ 45 minutes

Seems like whenever I make a jump the next day there is a bit of a pullback. I think there is something to be figured out regarding this, but I am so inconsistent that I have been unable to decipher the code, so to speak. Maybe time for more later, we’ll see.
