New Hanging Method - Bungy Strap

On another PE website a poster mentioned using surgical tubing or bungie cord tied to a secure object and then to the Bib as a means of stretching without using weights. The idea really caught my attention because with the Bib and attached weight I was just never able to consistently get the tug I wanted without problems. Sometimes it worked like a charm, but just as many times I got pissed.

Tonight I took one of those bungie cord straps (the kind with hooks on both ends used to secure items) and wrapped it around the base of my chair, then hooked it to the Bib, and bam! Got it. Great thing is that I can really adjust the tension by wrapping the cord around the chair base a few times.

The chair I sit in at the computer has four rollers. Think of an intersection of two line with rollers on each end of the lines. At the intersection of the lines a shaft extends up and is attached to the bottom of the seat. The base for the rollers actually extend a couple inches past the seat. I wrapped the bongy cord around the end of the the base, positioned that wheel between my legs, attached it to the Bib for a BTC pull. Next I rotated the base so that the cord was to my right, attached the Bib, attacking that angle. I did the same to the left side. OTS is possible as well if you put some padding on the shoulder.

For those who have had the same problems with weight hanging as I have, this may be a simple alternative. Great thing about these cords is that they have hooks on both ends.

Hate to burst your bubble…but this one’s been done before.

Alternatively, you can use a string and a fish scale to acurrately calculate the poundage you’re stretching with.

Dream, did you even read the first sentence of marty’s post? He isn’t saying he had a novel idea.

About how much tension do you feel like your getting off the bungi marty?

Nope. I just scanned it. My bad!

Marty, give this a try. Go to SEARCH and type in Bungee and see what you get. I think you might be surprised about how many ideas are there.

Marty,

Yeah, it has been thought out of before, but don’t sweat it. We all try and innovate and few of us just “think” things up that have been done before. I know I do with stuff in life.

My idea a ways back either here or on PE Forum many moons ago, was to use an eye hook privacy lock that you put higher up on doors to keep kids out. You slip the bungee end with hook into this screwed in piece and it should hold especially if you have it into the base board of your room. My grand scheme was to sit on my ass on the floor with the contraption on and how hard I pulled away from slowly would give me a good stretch.

In the end, I really didn’t even carry on with that at all. I got tied up with more crap in life. Oh well.

Please wear safety glasses. I don’t want to have to post about some crazy naked guy with a bungee strap caught in one eye and dangling from the other end of his ding a ling. Seriously be cautious about those ends rebounding back on you, especially with that hooked end.

Sounds really good, you can alter the weight so much more easier than pulling weights off etc. So if you’re too sore during a set, move closer and continue. Let us know how it works out for you!

I think the title of the thread is what was misleading. Yeah, I figured this and all other things that come to my small mind have been hashed out here before. This particular method of using the cord is very simple and allows for much control of the tension.

How much tension am I generating? I have no numerical answer, but I can say that I get as much as I can stand, just like when I was hanging weights. One thing about this method is that the wrapping around the shaft does not have to be so perfect. Why? I have no idea. Everything about this method is easier for me. Being easier and less painful = doing it consistently in my case.

Twat - I did not think about the safety glasses, but soon realized I had better were a protective cup (like a baseball catcher wears) just in case the cord slipped :)

I’m telling you bro, get a fish scale at walmart and attach a cord/string to it. You can see exactly how many pounds of tension you’re getting.

Just a general pic in case you haven’t seen a fish scale before. When you pull on the bottom hook the scale moves to show the pounds of tension/weight.

Marty,

Just as Twat mentioned, there have been numerous accidents with eye damage as a result. You can get (at least in Sweden) a bungy made specifically for bike purposes, that has a nylon carabiner clip in each end - no sharp hooks.

I use the budgie like method. No weights ever. I wrap my unit in the self adhesive bandage at the base, cover it with that black urethane pvc pipe covering. Then I single screw fastening automotive O-ring/c-clamp (whatever it’s called) over that. I have a very thick string tied in a loop around this ring that attached to an S hook. I take two bungie chords that have hooks on both ends and I place one on headboard at the end of the bed. I lay down and attach the other chord and lay back once I find the right resistance I lay down, sitting up can increase the chords force on your unit. So I alternate. Grab my smokes flick on the tv and let an hour or so drift out. I’ve been very careful as of late, because during manual hand stretching in a flacid state I made something at the base pop. I was over doing it and I got what I deserved. I wasn’t able to maintain an erection for like a month. I think I snapped the top ligament. I don’t think I cause a penial fracture. There was a popping sound but no pain. Now when ever I do any kinds of stretch routines be it by chord or hand I feel pain or soreness right under my testicle’s near my anus. I don’t know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Cause I hear some folks have a surgical procedure that effectively removes their penis from that area to get immediate gains.

damnit,

i thought i came up with the bungee strap routine

Sounds like you had a lig pop. Not dangerous and fairly common.

If you had snapped the top ligament you would have known all about it. That would not be a painless occurence.

That’s kind of like saying the ocean has some water in it…true, but a bit of an understatment! A snapped ligament would definately be noticeable- as in you’d be crying/screaming/whatever.

Well I had an extreme cold sensation race through that area when it happened like some one injected ice cold water through me down there. I did a few “Oh God, No!, what did I do” calls and then I calmed down and just didn’t mess with it at all for the rest of the day. I noticed that I wasn’t able to hold an erection up. So I thought I snapped the fundiform ligament, because before I would have this banana uplike curl and it wouldn’t flop down on my stomach if I was laying down with an erection. I have done some up pulls with small amounts of resistance and it seems to be getting better. I can make it dance and bounce again.

I have a high pain tolerance but I swear I only had the shock like sensation and no pain. I don’t know what I did because they say penile fractures hurt like hell until they are fixed and I believe ligament damage causes pain to.. But one reason has me unsure. A dog we had who was real fat jumped off the bed one day and he completely tore his ligament off a part of his leg. He didn’t cry scream or nothing and this dog was a wuss. He never walked the same ever again. Who knows. It still works and it was the scare I needed to do this properly. Just know your limits. If your sore down there- Stop! Don’t over do it.
