Is turtling bad?

Is turtling after a workout a sign of overworking and no potential for gains?

No. Turtling is common for those just starting out. After a month or such though, if you still turtle very often that could be an indicator that you are applying too much force and maybe could ease a bit.

Would’nt a traction wrap help in those situations?

What is a traction wrap

Depends on who you ask this to. Ask someone like Bigger (Bib) and he will say turtling is a natural effect of exhausting your unit. His name eludes me right now since I haven’t been here in a while, but he will say, “Never let it turtle!”

I thought that he ended up with the result that it isn’t that bad afterall? I’m not sure though.

I think it was ParaGumba but I’m not sure.

I believe it was Big Girtha who’s the origin of “Never let it turtle”, to which I simply agree.

I stand corrected.

How do I stop it from turtling then? some sort of wrap?

Hm. I just read an interesting thread by BG on the subject. What type of cock ring does one suggest to wear all day to keep the penis in a slightly expanded state?

If it’s worth anything, I’ve struggled with girth gains so far but as of late I seem to always have a bit more of a chubby, my penis seems to be in a semi-engorged state 80% of the time.

I know I’ve written all of this in at least one (dozen) other thread, but why not once more, right? :)

My theory is that since our goal is to gain size, that it is best to keep the tissue in a more expanded state while healing. In addition, healing is improved with improved circulation. So between sets, and pretty much throughout the day I’m massaging my recovering unit and throwing in Firegoal Rolls here and there..

Now I’m certainly not the fastest gainer, but I have gained well. I’ve also gone from a grower to a shower.

Cheers,

Personally, I seem to be on the best gains road when my dick doesn’t turtle after a workout. But it also depends on the type of underwear and clothes I wear. THe best post work flaccid I get is when I go commando.

What do you mean by going commando?

Commando means not wearing any underwear under your pants.
