Ascend and descend journey

OK, it has turned to Friday for me already. Sadly, these two days I've done minimum PE, mainly just some Kegels, wearing the Ring of Power for several hours.
I did do a 5x5x3 routine today, it was quite alright as I wore the Silicap.
Today there was some outdoor and indoor work to be done, heavy lifting and stuff, considering what I had to lift and carry, I think it was alright I didn't wear Silistretcher.

Still waiting for my supplement package, might take a week or two, hopefully I'll get it next week but I doubt it. For now, Tribulus and NAC. And the Beauty Molecule, 5 ml of that daily.

Keep on gaining Brothers! I'll pick up the pace again, I'll consider doing some light hanging today, although there will be some visitors. I want a private cabin where I can just concentrate on PE and overall well-being! :D
 
OK, I did some hanging yesterday by Friday. Sort of a Pyramid set although the time I used wasn't as much as I would had liked.

18:30 19.4.2019 Hanging 7,36 lbs
18:43 19.4.2019 Off
18:45 19.4.2019 6.31 lbs
19:15 19.4.2019 Off
19:24 19.4.2019 5,26 lbs
19:54 19.4.2019 Off

I couldn't do that first heavy set for too long, I think I can do about ~6 lbs and taper off from there.
After the set I wore Silistretcher for about 1.5 hours.

Yes, smaller numbers and let me say; I need to let my frenulum cut heal better. That's why my sets have been lacking. I was able to do a 5x5x3 routine using Silicap and Silisleeve, the cap especially helped.
But I better just keep applying ointment and let it be in peace for a while.
Sucks but things like this happen. I don't want to make the cut / hole any bigger.

So, for coming days I will concentrate on Kegels and cardio. Kind of a bummer as "my train" was running so well but as said, things like this happen. ;)

Staying in the game with my mind!.
 
Excellent journal my friend, such a good example to all the brothers out there. I love that you’ve incorporated the reverse pyramid hanging methodology as I believe it’s going to greatly benefit anyone who uses it. It’s also good that I see the SRT components being used. Very smart healing and very smart gaining!
 
I will let the frenulum heal. I acquired more zinc ointment (usually in the baby section in stores :) ), it's great stuff for healing. Just got to check for the ingredients, the brand I bought seemed fine for my needs.
There are different ointments in my cabinet for different needs. Mainly I use Shea butter for most things.
It has proven to be very in sync with my chemistry. While I like coconut oil and the smell of it, I can't use it due to my skin's ratio of fats and oil etc.. Cacao butter would be another good product but that also hasn't agreed with my skin.

I'll do visualization and Kegel training while I let the my slightly torn frenulum heal.

With supplementation I take break by weekends from Tribulus. I'll still take the NAC on a daily basis and I'll run a course of that Beauty Molecule liquid supplement I bought.
Next week I should receive some Shilajit capsules. Don't know when the other shipment might come.

Keep on training Brothers!
 
Slow day, the healing is happening, the stinging isn't so bad anymore. I am really looking forward to getting back to hanging, pumping and all that good stuff!
Some slight visualization, did 50 75% force Kegels and 50 Reverse Kegels at 90-100% force.
Not much, but still something. I will do variable Kegels, as in using more force or less, short and long ones. The instruction sheet I got from a doctor advised to vary between different Kegels and keep a rest day as well.

I think I'll get one of those clicker counters to make more emphasis on my Kegels, as counting them in my head gets hazy at times.
Going to do some cardio tomorrow outside by yard work.

You’re doing an incredible thing by keeping your head in the game. So many people will take on an injury and they will fall out of motivation to never return. When we go through a period of penile issues and we can’t train it is so important to do something. Kegels are the smartest thing to do and I love that you’re doing visualization. These are the two things you can do that will keep your head in the game.
 
So, few days have gone by and I don't see an open wound anymore, seems pretty solid to me.
I received a nice package with some tools, I'll be writing more when I have tested them properly!
(Such as the Siliscale and Silistrap for example. ;) )

I've done some Kegels but I've honestly lacked with that. I did practise certain kind of cardio on several days, so I am pleased about that at least. I've worn my Ring of Power and I got my new supplements as well!

Grape Seed Extract, Cayanne Extract, NAC, Shilajit ... Yeah, I'm a "one man dispensary" :D .
Some Pomegranate Extract as well. I would have got this parcel last week but several holidays put things on hold.

As weekend is coming up, Tribulus is out of the loop for two days. I'll give these other supplements a go during the weekend if I have any initial bad responses, just to be safe. I assume quite the other way around. :)
But of course I realize that there are no over-night magic pills, even as good as certain supplements are, they do take time to balance things out.
And diet is in play so much anyhow. Been adding more vegetables and fruits as of late.

Anyway, soon to get some rest and light routine by day or evening time!
Just have to remember to do a light routine, possibly some very low intensity hanging and then Silistretcher. Now as I have the scale it'll sure be easier to set the tension, high or low!
 
I’m so happy that is cleared up! Be sure to use that hydrocortisone as a preventative method for the future. I’m so psyched that you got your equipment and I cannot wait to hear your reviews.
 
Alright, I need to get things back on track more! It it Monday to Tuesday night for me.

I do time my hanging sets so why not Kegels as well.

With that said, I've done some hanging. I think I did jump a bit eagerly on the weights again but frenulum seems fine and no other issues!
Here's a crude list what I've "done."

0:38 29.4.2019 Hanging 2½ lbs
1:03 29.4.2019 off
1:39 29.4.2019 pump
1:49 29.4.2019 off
2:02 29.4.2019 Hanging 2½ and 2.76 lbs
2:07 29.4.2019 off

14:15 29.4.2019 Hanging 2½ +2,76 + 1,05 lbs
14:34 29.4.2019 off
14:47 29.4.2019 Hanging 2½. + 2,76 lbs
15:10 29.4.2019 off
15:23 29.4.2019 Hanging 2½ lbs
15:43 29.4.2019 off
16:05 29.4.2019 SS on (~3 lbs)
~18:00 29.4.2019 SS off

Wait, ehh ... LOL Looks so odd to me. Oh well. Yeah, the hang and pump thing. I was mainly testing the waters by then.
By day time I wasn't able to wear the Silistretcher on for too long after a session, that was bit of a bummer. Not because of discomfort or anything like that, things just came my way and I had to concentrate on other things.

I need to remember to do a bit lighter hanging sets. (As I really just got into hanging recently!)
Part of me thinks of doing one shorter set of heavier weight (5-15 minutes) and then decreasing the weight but adding a bit more time.

I tried the Silipads. The gel one is pretty nice, the solid fits the SS great but I need to test it more to have a valid opinion about it. With the Siliscale I find that it could attach easier to the Silistretcher, the keyring is quite rigid. I do understand that it needs to be though.
I was able to attach it and see where I'm getting that ~3lbs stretch, but I didn't leave it on my body though.
Would be a good if there was somekind of a chart regarding tensions. (Use x for light, x for harder.)
Of course our bodies are different and personal physical feelings come to play, so there's no exact answer, I assume. But a "in the ball park / estimates" would be nice. :)
(Maybe there is such and I've just casually missed it!)

Supplemental wise, no ill effects from the new supplements. Possibly some more energy from Shilajit and others. With Cayanne Extract I notice this certain warmth a moment after having one or two capsules.
Booked a small cruise to my neighbor, going to get some more honey and other bee related products!
And other nice things, depending on my budget.

OK, going on long enough here, wishing the best of times gaining to all Brothers! (flex)?
 
Tuesday went by fast! I had an idea of doing a hanging session but only got to do 5x5x2 routine. Just two repetitions, I'm easing myself into after the frenulum tear.
Used a Silicap while pumping but no sleeve this time, decent expansion, relaxed after with a cockring on.

Managed to clear out some old stuff today, that's always a plus when I get some cleaning done.
Got a phone call, was asked to help with something, I didn't flat line decline but this caller usually seems to call when there's a need for a "handyman." Not very cool, I have taken a good distance as of late.
Just needed to vent out a bit. :)

I am liking the Spring time with more natural light, I feel I've been a little bit more productive due to it.
Could also be the supplements. :D But in the end, it's a bigger equation ...

Keep on going strong!
 
maybe when your friend calls you for some help (with no reciprocity I presume), chalk it up to doing 'community service' instead of feeling like you're being used. I should add, only say 'yes' if it's of no detriment to you
 
Thanks @Big Schwanz Acht ! It's usually always a call for request really. Not so much a friendly chatter I would say. I feel much better talking to other people and exchanging words here at MoS, that one person really can suck the life force out of me at times ...
But your advice is good, I appreciate it, I could see it working. :)

Let's see now, supplemental wise I've been adding some Shilajit, that's been quite nice!
And big thanks to @Iceman338 , the Grape Seed Extract is good stuff. Already noticing good benefits.
Otherwise business as "normal", going for that Tribulus and wearing the ROP when I can. Today was on odd off day, I didn't wear the ROP today. Another quick day, sometimes the hours just fly!

Some notes from my exercise log:

16:20 1.5.2019 Hanging 4,6 lbs
16:42 1.5.2019 Weight off
16:50 1.5.2019 3,55, lbs
17:11 1.5.2019 Off
17:15 1.5.2019 2,5 lbs
17:40 1.5.2019 Off
17:55 1.5.2019 SS on
18:40 1.5.2019 Break
18:45 1.5.2019 SS on
20:29 1.5.2019 SS off

That was from Wednesday. Today I did full 5x5x3 routine wearing the Silicap. Frenulum feels good, I'll be using somekind of moisturizing element or shea butter for example to keep it more pliable.

I can't remember which night it was, but I did a short 5 minute clamping before I cleared my plumbing. :D After I took the clamp on I honestly felt a lot longer than before. A very nice feeling!

Got to keep the train going on, but now I'll catch some sleep. Keep on working hard Brothers!
 
Much love to all the Brothers from me as well!

Somehow I haven't been in the greatest zone for few days, especially PE wise.
Last night, Friday, I did some light pumping and clamping, but didn't get to do hanging by daytime.
Well, for me thing is to get something done everyday, while keeping things fun.
I don't want to feel too stressed about doing certain exercises, so there can be a lot of variation in my process.

I took things quite chill yesterday anyhow. Went to the garage to look for some springs and found a small piece of burl wood or something, decided to make it more round. Been polishing it a lot, it's fun to do crafty things from time to time.
Speaking of that, I've been trying to source some medical grade 316 stainless steel to make something. :D

Keeping the train going on, I think I'll go for some hanging sets, big thanks to @Haursen for tips regarding good stretches.
 
being active, (both physically and mentally) positions your body and brain to stay connected...next exercise is to find something that enriches you emotionally. Put them all together and we've got us one happy Ark :)
