Low traction devices

Warm water warm up 5 mins
Stretching for about 5 mins
Jelqing for about 15-20 mins
Then I take a shower and put on the extender for about 4 hours.
I go 2 days on 1 day off or sometimes 3 on 2 off per week.
Am I doing anything wrong. Any suggestions and advice is welcome.

Extenders are low traction devices, at best the most traction that can be generated is 6 lbs. One exception is our Extender which uses springs that are rated at 10 lbs under 1” of compression.
The low traction / extended wear theory leaves many Extender users with disappointing results, usually very little gain or none at all.
I would suggest you increase your hand stretching time to 20-30 minutes twice daily. Be sure to pull as hard as you can tolerate, using a couple Girth Bands (one at base and the other below glans) will allow you to get a better grip too. Use two hands, your dominate hand to pull with and your other hand at the base for stability. The intensity on the jelqing should be on a scale of 1-10, ten being the most intense between 5-10 when semi erect.
If you’re so inclined to experiment and invest in a device that generates more traction, I suggest a quality, vacuum based weight hanging device.
