Buckfever's "It's The Final Countdown" Journal

Correction:

Last 2 sessions was 60 half turns. I backed it off because of the time off.

Cut is going okay. I added a serving of protein because I was dropping too fast and losing a bit of muscle. At a new gym lost a little figuring things out, just starting to progress.

New noose was installed. Tension ramp up during cool down was appreciably higher. With the new noose we’ll have to keep the tension stable for a while.
Longer session seemed more effective. Glans condition excellent at the end.
Getting close to back on track after the break but not there yet.

Cut is going well. Got to work on getting more protein.

Best session so far. Glans condition was excellent at end. I ended the session sooner than I needed to, just being cautious. .

Slow and steady. We are ~ 2 months in, I’d say we’re looking at 5-6 months for this campaign.

As I turned off the heat at 45 minutes the tension increase during the cooldown concerned me so I removed the device and went to manual stretching. Not quite ready for 70 half turns especially with the faster ramp up.

Felt a little slippage during the cooldown, so switched to manual stretching to avoid injury and finish the cooldown. The tension really does ramp up during the cooldown. Should of stayed at 66 half turns.

Not sure if 4 or 5 sessions per week is better. Today went pretty good. I would like some longer sessions but time has been limited.

Cut is going well.

Increased the rate of ramp up, went well. Glans condition excellent at the end.

EQ was through the roof yesterday. Rock hard and persisted after. Flaccid hang seems to be helped by the heat.

On Wed I was severely dehydrated which affected the head swell so I just skipped the session and with late business meetings last night I decided to take advantage of the 3 day break and add the 5mm to the extender length which was going to be part of the objective of this campaign.

Overall it went well except that at 51 minutes I felt a slight pinching at the attachment so I ended the session. I had to guess and I would say that I 30 half turns was just a little too much, particularly since I have not been doing longer sessions recently.

Very, very pleased that we were able to execute with the length addition because at the beginning of this campaign we could not.

Glans condition excellent at the end.

After the last session, with the length addition to the extender I thought we’d have to back off the tension today. However, upon attachment I noticed we had gained forward position in the cradle, so we were able to stay at 30 half turns with the Glans holding the robust head swell.

Also able to extended the duration of the session during the cooldown.

Glans condition excellent at the end

Ways to go, but things are looking good.

Once again dehydration led to an inability to maintain head swell so discontinued session.

Pretty clear that the noose integrity is compromised. So We’ll replace the noose and get back on this Sunday morning. This past week has been very very poor but other things have taken priority. We’ll try to do better going forward.

I felt attachment discomfort at 47 minutes so removed the device and used manual stretching for the cooldown. Glans condition excellent at the end. This went better, need to be more consistent.
