A few other things I was thinking about in bed last night and also this morning when doing stretches:
- For the tiger trap, I understand that you use it when clamped & erect, so in this case I can see that the penile tissues are then squashed/stretched intensely at certain points. But what happens if you go in flaccid? Does the fact that you’re flaccid mean that there is more inherent flexibility and therefore less intense stretch? What would happen if you lined the rows of teeth with theraband/swim cap material, then clamped down when pulling out and flaccid - presumably there would be good grip at each end and then you’d get the intense stretch along the shaft in this case too. Just an idea.
I haven’t used the TT flaccid…ever, which is kind of amazing to me given my experimental nature…but what happened is Bearded Dragon tried the Tunica Tenderizer, which operates on the same premise as the TT, tunica stretching, and he had blood emanate from his urethra…”urethra tenderizer” he called. So yea, after reading that report, I’ve not used either device flaccid.
- When you were hanging weights during the “I” phase before, I think you’d mentioned going very heavy. For me I’d need to figure out what range to aim for - was thinking between 4 and 8kg, somewhere in that range. Also regarding the timeframe, you said you did that in the morning, but for how long do you think in general one should aim for? Might be good to have your take on this before I dive down the rabbit hole of the hangers forums and threads. Initially I was thinking something like 3 x 20 min sets, then put on the ADS. But from my notes I made some years ago, it seems that hangers experience is that 10 hours/week should be the minimum to create enough stress, so in this case if during one week you’re doing an on/off routine, that means perhaps 3 hanging times per 7 days, so if keeping to that 10 hour rule it would be something like 3.3 hours per day. So interesting to know how long you think the hanging part should be before reverting to the ADS.
Honestly, I’m not much of a fan of hanging anymore. I’ve demonstrated to myself that I can grow length with much less time spent by using BB and Sumo stretches, a Tiger Trap, multiple cable clamps and Cock Coils. Having stated that, hanging will still work for length. My heavy weight work was my foolish attempt to combine hanging for strengthening the bulbospongiosis muscle (for semen retention/SKF purposes), which requires kegeling against a “immovable force” and hanging for PE purposes. I did gain early, at weights below 20lbs. but when I starting working with weights in the 30lbs. + range, gains dried up…I don’t have a biomechanical explanation for that happening, but it did. Anyhoo, your weight and duration plans sure seem appropriate to me.
- About a proper ‘stretched’ feeling - I’ve had this question in my mind for a long time actually. When doing manual stretching with fulcrum, I sometimes get a burning feeling especially in certain positions especially pulling up in the bucking bronco type of position. I’d thought before that it could just be skin stretch, especially since the harder you pull and/or when your thighs descend, the fulcrum moves up the shaft and this is when the burning starts. But if it was just skin stretch then presumably I’d feel it when doing the stretch over and down over the fulcrum, but I don’t get the same sensation there. Anyone has an idea on when we really know (by feeling) when the important tissues (tunica et al) are being stretched?
With the BB stretch, yes, the fulcrum does tend to want to ride up the shaft; really important to dig the fulcrum into the pelvis prior to initiating the stretch. I’ve been able keep it much less mobile by using a oval cross-sectioned Pulaski tool handle. All I know on that one!
Otherwise just ordered/paid for the BiB!
Really recommend making the modifications to your new BIB; your hanging will be much more comfortable.
Good Luck!
