Best Stretching Description I've Heard
I’m Quoting marinera on how hard one really needs to pull when doing manual stretching. I always struggled with how hard I should be pulling and this gave me a pretty good idea that I have been pulling too hard, so THANK YOU marinera for your stretching wisdom!! I’m not sure how to quote something from one thread to another, I hope this works/ is okay.
” 1) Don't pull, hold
Ok, what the hell this means? To understand what I mean, do a little experiment; grip your penis and stretch it to it’s max length, with all the force you can comfortably apply; measure this length the best you can. Next day, proceed in a different way: grab your penis and gently stretch it to its NBPEL; you’ll need very little force to do that, about 0.5-1 lbs. Hold your penis at this length for 1 minute, then push it a bit further, again gently, and hold it again at the new length for 1 minute; repeat the same step for 4-5 times or anyway until you can’t stretch your penis further without applying a serious force. Now measure and compare with the length you reached the day before: I’m pretty sure that there will be a significant difference.
The reason is, your penis will react strongly to an abrupt force, fighting it, and no matter how strong you’ll pull, it will not stretch. Instead, if you hold it at a given length for a while, it will accommodate to this length and it will be possible to stretch it further with no much force: this is called progressive stress relaxation. You have to take advantage of it, because, beside the further length, you’ll fatigue less your body and you will be able to do longer stretching sessions.”
I’m still plugging away with the same routine as before, minus the ADS. I think I will resume the ADS next week as I have concluded that I overworked my unit that one day and my routine isn’t causing me to turtle significantly. I have been feeling more fatigue since I figured out how to stretch correctly. I hope this fatigue turns into gains because its measurement week next week!
