Turtleing When Sitting

I really want to have this stop happening to me. Standing and laying down I don’t experience this, but when I sit, he turtles. How do I stop this?

Abs and leg work don’t help?

I don’t see a connection there, Marinera. How would that help? But to the OP, I don’t think turtling reverses any effect of PE efforts. And I can’t see how it matters unless your sitting on a nude beach before all passersby giving a demeaning stare.

Because more blood in the area, I guess.

I want to know as the same thing happens to me.

A solution would be to get an ADS sleeve with a stealth cap from Autoextender.

I was into bodybuilding for many years and had fantastic abs and legs but Mr. Happy still retracted when sitting. I mean, it didn’t go negative but sure wasn’t like flaccid hang standing.

That’s interesting Ectoplasm. I mean, the fact that it would affect standing flaccid but not sitting flaccid, if I got it right.

Are you overweight ? Have much of a fat pad?

I think reverse Kegels might work - not only do I feel more blood going in but it helps relax the pelvic region.

Sit with really good posture and focus on breathing correctly using your diaphragm. All the muscles of the pelvic floor are connected in places you wouldn’t guess. Deep full breaths feeling your belly expand and keeping lower back support. Focus on relaxing your Perinial region. My guess it works for you.

Another thought. It’s not just pelvic floor muscles but quadriceps and iliopsoas can be a limiting factor.
Assess the quads-lay on your stomach flat on floor face down. Bend knees to raise your feet off the floor. Feel tightness in hips?
Assess iliopsoas-lay on your back on flat bench with your butt at end of bench. Now bring one knee up, bent, grasp with your hands and pull it against your chest. Leave opposite leg/foot on floor hanging off bench. Tightness in pelvic/hip region?

If yes. You need to loosen up those muscles, tendons and faschia. Everything is connected like a web!

No I’m not overweight, just a little out of shape . I ref hockey in the winter, and swim and play ball in the summer, and I’m 51 years young.

Interesting. I asked the question in an earlier post about stretching groin muscles to possibly increase gains, and was replied to saying there is no connection between the two.

Sometimes I’ll feel some tightness in the above mentioned thigh muscles when I train. I dont believe it has much to do with growing though.
