The characteristics of the tunica albuginea revisited

Kyrpa,

Thank you so much for your work. I have a MS in materials science and have just started PE in the past few months. Your research and conclusions make a lot of sense to me and I am currently on the first week of a 4-6 week cycle in which I’ll be employing your methodology. I just have one question about the recommended 20% weight increase on the cooldown set. Wouldn’t this increase in weight bring us past the inflection point on the stress strain plot into the area we are trying to avoid since we are now back down to body temperature? I see everyone recommending and implementing this increased weight during the cooldown but haven’t found the “first principles” post or study that supports this. Would you (or any other member who is knowledgeable on the topic) please humor me and explain why we need to increase weight during cooldown, and perhaps why a cooldown is even necessary at all? I understand the idea of “freezing” the fibers in their newly elongated state that’s being spread but is there a scientific basis for this idea?

Much appreciation.

It came from me. My device precisely measures the load increase that happens naturally during fixed strain cooldown. If the strain is fixed, you will see about a 15-20% increase in load as the tissues contract. So for those using a device that doesn’t fix the strain, they will need to increase the load by 20% as the tissues cool to maintain peak strain.

In terms of research supporting maintaining the strain during cooldown, there are many references in the literature supporting this and it’s well established in tendon and ligament therapy. But the tissue should be allowed to cool slowly in ambient room temp. It was discovered that rapid cooling with ice packs actually reverses some of the strain resulting in reduced permanence. Feel free to lookup the medical studies, or just take my word for it as I have a bioengineering background.

Thank you for the info!

When I try to load the load calculator I just get errors as it tries to fetch data from cells M36 and L36 which do not have any data.
Does anyone have a working version to share in Google Sheets perhaps?

Thanks.

This might help.

For some reason I can’t attache the list. I try to pm you.

Cheers! Would love to have the working spreadsheet too though.

Save it to your harddrive with new name, then open it. It is pw protected so you cannot change it, but you can change the 2 (maybe 4) input cells.

Hello guys!
I have been lurking for some time now, but I’ve got a bit of a special case here, so I’d like to ask for advice:
My penis is curved, meaning when load is applied to it, only my left (shorter) side is under tension. How should I modify my inputs in my calculations to account for this? Should I halve the input since only half of my penis is under considerable load?

Another thing: I have done traditional hanging for about one and a half months, and in that time, easily got to around 5kg (!) in weight under the old methodology. This was only possible due to it being outward extension (I’ve got a bit of a setup here), so the ligaments were not targeted strongly. This would not be possible standing up and hanging straight down, since the feeling on the ligaments would have been much more intense.

The reason I bring this up is that I’m one month off the training, no PE at all, but I still feel a sour sensation along the left side of my shaft during the day sometimes. The sensation is more noticeable after masturbation. What does this mean? It’s not pain, just some sourness as if the tissues were “used”. Sometimes more intense, but not too hard to ignore. Any help?

This is a little off topic but my dick curved slightly as well to left not much but enough to bother me. I read somewhere and it’s the best I’ve found regarding straightening your penis. Basically the only way to truly correct curvature is while you have an erection. While erect you try and straighten your penis as much as possible but never to where you ever feel any pain. Just what you can comfortably do and hold for a couple sets of 30 seconds.

I started doing this every time I had an erection and after a few months my penis is basically straight as a sword so I know for fact it works. Again, I went super slow and never tried to push too hard especially while erect.

If you are concerned about overloading your penis because the left side takes all of the load, then yes, reduce your starting weight and closely watch your results. If you have progress then continue with the program. If you have no results this is an indication the weight is too light and you need to increase it.

I think we have a translation error because I do not understand what a sour sensation is as pertains to your penis. Does ache translate to what you are asking? If this is the correct description, and you have this feeling 1 month after stopping PE activity I suggest you take more time off for the problem to heal.

Dear Kyrpa or other user, Could you kindly copy-paste your Load Calculator sheet into a Google sheet or export it in the latest format? I cannot get the downloaded version to work at all. It tries to fetch data from cells that are empty.

I didn’t receive any PM :(

And let’s now forget the deconditioning which I believe should be re-iterated often.
Is it best to incorporate breaks every 4-5 weeks or should it be based on the strain levels and how can one calculate this most accurately?
Is it best to hang daily until the deconditioning break or to also take off-days weekly?

Please dumb it down for me so I can an idea of what I need to do. I’m sorry I don’t understand. Also, do I use heat or no? I apologize for not understanding

I’m just trying to understand, I apologize, how exactly do we calculate the weight needed for our size? And we need to use heat to help it? I respect your knowledge on this subject and I just want to have the complete idea, I’m sorry to be a bother
