Harder Shooting farther following core-training
Hi all,
I just wanted to share something positive that has happened lately, and I haven’t found too much about it with the search function. I was hoping to see if there are any others that have done something similar, and feedback would be great.
Following a car accident when I was T-boned by a man running a red light, I had some back problems and was sent to physiotherapy. During my time at the clinic, I worked on a number of back exercises and recently moved to strengthening my core. With the core exercises such as pelvic lifts with leg extensions, they are similar to pilates and focus on targeting the deeper muscles such as the transverse abdominus (TA) and pelvic floor. You must contract the TA, pelvic floor, and multifidus (sp?) during all the exercises.
By contracting the pelvic floor which is the sling like muscle that wraps around the bottom of the pelvis from the groin to the anus during the exercises, I’ve noticed that I stay harder and shoot farther. I have done kegels before where you contract the BC muscle with hold/release every couple of seconds, but it does not give me improvements like the ones I’ve seen recently.
I believe the difference is that when I hold the different muscles, including the pelvic floor (which is essentially a kegel at the same time), I have to hold it for as long as I can until one of the three muscles discussed above gives out and I have to release and re-contract them to finish a set of exercises. The exercises last for 30 minutes or so, so it is quite intensive on the BC. I went to physiotherapy every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so it gives time for rest in-between.
After doing this for three weeks or so, it’s been great and there are definite PI’s with no negative ones. At first I was afraid it would cause some premature ejaculation, but none so far and I will be monitoring for that. Perhaps this may be something of interest for the people here to try? Any thoughts?
