Buckfever's progress report/bananaman story.

100% max tension @ 43 minutes

Max tension @ around 9 minutes.

Shorter session only because I slept in. Glans forward in the cradle, so that was good.

Afternoon:

34%@22.5 minutes
Followed by
Low tension @11.5 minutes

Cut short, what can you do? Tomorrow is another day.

I just wanted to say that after finding the motivation to restart extending from seeing you gain with a high intensity less than an hour a day regimen Im soon going to have put 2cm on the extender, your approach really works! And you are right some days are just not so good but as long as we at least get into the extender we dont lose ground.

Long Term Goal

Having ground it out for nearly 2 years, and having achieved the short term goal I had set for myself in terms of extender length addition after the newbie gains, my thoughts are now shifting towards the long term goal.

Based on in use realities I don’t perceive any functional benefits beyond another inch of length and there are certain esthetic preferences that I have in mind so my idea is to pursue an additional 1” of extender length that is consolidated and then cemented. Based on what I have observed post newbie gains I anticipate this to take at least 2 years, depending on the degree of diminishing marginal gains. I also will continue the regiment for 240 days after which as best I can figure will sure cement the gains. So right now the commitment I am making in my head is ~ 2 years and 8 months.

After that I will switch toward the use of PE to optimize and maintain function.

At this point I have no plans for girth work. Anecdotally based on how we have been filling up the condoms, I’m quite sure that the traction has caused some improvement there and what ever comes along with that I anticipate will be sufficient, subject to revision.

Anyway that’s the plan for now, while we await the arrival of new gear to embark on the next leg of this journey.

I can’t help but think that if we can stay consistent for another 2 years that the results will be spectacular.

100% max tension @ 35 minutes
immediately followed by
Low tension @ 25 minutes

Second session

34% @ 61.5 minutes

Very happy to get that in.

1/16/2019

100% max tension @ 61 minutes

Another good session.

1/16/2019

Second session

34% @ 46 minutes

I got to 46 minutes before getting interrupted otherwise we would have gotten an hour in for sure. Things are going very well now at this extender length despite the poor quality of the nooses, because there has been good accommodation. Looking forward to the path forward.

1/17/2019

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

Really nailing this down now. Probably only need a week to 10 days more and we’ll have to add length.

Hopefully the new gear arrives soon enough.

1/18/2019

100% max tension @ 60 minutes

Got to max tension @ 7.5 minutes

New milestone and about as much as I can do at this extender length. Initial goal is complete!!!

Adding 1/8” to extender length.

Beginning of final leg of the journey of attempting to add an additional inch to the extender length. Not sure if this is even possible, whether or not I’ll hit the headwinds of diminishing marginal returns. But we shall see. Facing a 2+ year commitment plus an additional ~ 8 months so consolidate if successful.

That’s a long time, but I remember it was almost 2 years ago thinking when I was contemplating whether to begin this endeavor, what might be accomplished if I gave it a year and here now we are a couple of months away from 2 years since we started. It goes by fast.

Very nice!

God speed Buck!

Second session and first session at new extender length!

34% max tension @ 60 minutes

Hit the floor running!!!

I was thinking about this and caught myself laughing.

We set these goals and yet we attack them 1/8 of an inch at a time.

There’s something there and it’s transferable. That creation should have offered to us the possibility of this gift and yet require so very much of us in so many ways.

Seems deliberate.
