Questions On Stretching

What’s up everyone, first time posting. Ok so first about me I come from a 10+ years background in Personal Training and Bodybuilding. So understanding the body the way I do leads me to question a couple things. I researched what I could and didn’t find a definitive answer.

Let me post my routine first before I ask questions.

I’ve done Jelqing on and off for about 5 years, 1-2 weeks at a time. Nothing that would provide results.

Also purchased a BMate and used it with the same frequency, couldn’t expect much for lacking routine.

Ok, as of the beginning of the month I decided to get dedicated to it. In the gym community my training style would be called “Dog Shit Training”. The training is regular but technique varies. When I do “full routine” it’s something like this. Wake up and stretch 30-45 mins, jelq for 200 reps then use BMate for another 10-15 mins, get home from work and stretch for about another hour watching TV. My stretching stays constant but jelqing and BMate waver, as I’m focusing on length right now.

I will hold my stretch’s for as long as possible prob up to 4 minutes sometimes, just to let go, manually push some blood around and pull again.

Now I see everybody does very short stretches and seem to get results. But when stretching other ligaments in the body more is better, up to a point. You would stretch every day for extended periods. Especially in gymnastics and certain marshal arts you will sit in stretching for extended periods to gain flexibility in strides.

I haven’t experienced much in E length but my Flaccid length definitely hangs lower, basically turning me into a shower then of a grower’ lol. I’m at 6.50 and think girth is about 4.50 E.

I know that was a lot to read just wanted to be thorough.

So my question is why doesn’t anyone stretch for extended periods? Why the very short sessions?

Long duration stretches in my experience give better results. I doubt the effectiveness of short and intense stretches.

Hold each stretch for 3-4 min if you can with not so much force. Just hold your stretch, dont try to pull it harder.

Also i focus on downward stretching and i gain more.

For me, long duration stretching also seems to work better. Holding a stretch for 5 minutes gives me rock hard erections and morning wood afterwards. Intense pulling for a lot shorter time also gives me great wood sometimes. Intense pulling + long hold = bad. Later it might work better though.

Thanks guys, I couldn’t understand why everyone was doing like 3-4 sets of 10 second holds a few times a day.

I’m not pulling very hard, sometimes harder then others but for the most part just creating tension. Pulling in various directions. Mostly strait down, down left down right, some upwards stuff. I’m not warming up with a compres either. I figure for thousands of years rural peoples have been stretching and jelqing successfully prob with no warm up. Do you think the warm up is significant?

And also what do you think of this technique, it’s kind of like the power stretch where you’re using a fulcrum to pull over. I do this fully erect. So thumb down pink up I push through the meat at the bottom of my cock grabbing the shaft as low as I can go. I then use my thumb as a leverage point and slightly bend to the left or right creating tension. It feels good, no pain and I’m “gentle¿” nothing very force full. I feel like this stretches the ligs when there actually working naturally and pulls at the root. When you understand how the body works and adapts it lets you create new movements to target different muscles. Granted it’s ligaments not muscle we are targeting but same concept.

Why not mix them up?

In fact we dont target the ligaments but the tunica albuginea.

I hope that you dont stretch at full erection the risks are more than the benefits.

I think he’s talking about lig stretches while erect, like pushing against the support ligaments.

I’ve done this. It does feel good. Honestly you should be careful though. It’s not like pulling though, more like pushing the erection against the angle it naturally goes to.

I cant see how this technique can give gains.

I have only been doing PE since the beginning of this month so no idea what works however I mix up the stretches I do. On my on days I will do long stretches(2 or 3 mins in each direction) in the morning then in the evening do jelqs and end with JAI stretches. My thinking is I want to see growth period and I don’t care to determine which is better short or long duration I will add in both to try and cover my bases lol. I will say that I feel better doing JAI stretches though. It seems to hang lower and feel better while the long stretches it seems to just get real skinny and shrink.

Man, I am foreshadowing repetitive effort injury, I can’t hold for more than 30 seconds manual stretch because it start to hurt, but I would love to do some long hold stretches like you guys can do.

I head it really can give you some result, but I always make thoughtfulgold my words : do what you think works the better for you.

Abraço.

Gentlep, I’m not sure if the technique I describe will give me gains. I understand it can be risky doing work while erect but I’m being careful. If my regular morning wood changes I’ll take it as a sign. But since I’ve started my routine the beginning of the month my morning wood has increased and I can feel more pressure, more blood in my dick.

Also another question, and I really appreciate you guys taking the time to reply.

So yesterday I started pulling my cock through my legs and sitting on it. Is it strictly a blood flow issue for time in this position. It seems like all the stretching devices work because you are being stretched for long periods. Wouldn’t sitting on your stretched dick be the same difference?

Its ok but my point is to not waste your time with less effective exersices.

Have you ever tried fulcrum stretching with heat?

With my manual routine, I have seen good results from trying to hold the stretches for as long as my wrists will allow. I have gained about .5” in just a few short months from inconsistent manual routines. If I were more consistent who knows where I would be at. I just got a vac hanger and that will be easier to use daily as I will not have the limitations of wrist pain. I plan on doing 40-minute routines at low weight and I will report back in a month or so with my findings.

I messed with it a little, but haven’t added it to my routine. I read a post where someone was used golf weights to stretch, I’ll probably do that when I add it in. Going to give my current routine 3 months, I’m hoping for “newbie” gains. I don’t want much I’m good with a sold inch, I’m at like 6.5” now I’m good at 7.5
