Ballooning help

Hello all,

I have been ballooning everytime I end my routines. 2 days on/2 days off. Now I have noticed that my unit is bigger with girth, but not with width. Will ballooning help with the length?? Or will I have to work that out a different way? Am I susposed to warm down after balloon/edging? Also, do you guys balloon/edge Right after jelqing or do you wait a bit to do it?

I think almost everyone here who balloons does it as one part of a routine with other exercises, which makes it difficult to know what gains are coming from the ballooning alone. One guy here has said he only balloons and I remember him claiming some length and girth.

Personally I see ballooning as such a ‘mild’ exercise, I cannot imagine it doing anything for size unless it was done for at least an hour at a time by itself.

The CS is easier to stretch than the CC so that is where most girth increase comes from. The CCs give more width, but are harder to enlarge, and ballooning would not provide enough force alone, IMO.

If you do want to get the most out of it, I would do it after jelqing when the tissues have already been made more flexible and ready to stretch. It would probably be best done straight after jelqing, but leaving it an hour of two would not reduce results much.

If you have done only ballooning, it’s so mild you wouldn’t need a warm down. Ballooning after a gentle routine would act like a warm-down anyway. If you have done a full, more strenuous routine, you should try with and without a warm-down, and see which gives you better flaccid hang afterwards.

(If you don’t know what the CS and CC are, just hover your mouse pointer over the abbreviations. You can do that with many abbreviations on this site. :)

Thanks firegoat!

Hi mann69,

I just looked over which threads you have posted in and found that you have not participated in any of the ballooning threads. Perhaps you have looked and lurked but perhaps you are not aware of them. And so:

The great big ballooning thread.
Plenty of the members and moderators do not agree with Werner’s views on the topic. Personally, I have a hard time with anyone that endorses Dr. Lin. That said, if you don’t take any of the metaphysical terminology literally the thread can be quite useful. If you wish to buy into the metaphysics that is your call.
