Brawn Johnson's Routine and Progress

I tested out the silisleeves today, used the wider one to do manual stretches in the Lengthmaster bundle chamber. MUCH more comfortable, and faster than the wrapping!

Having said that, it looks like wrapping might not have been my problem in the first place... I experimented with slow cranks at 20lbs today, 30 reps at 10sec/rep, and although I wasn't in pain I had bleeding in my urethra again and ended up skipping the rest of my manual stretching.

The bleeding wasn't as bad as on the 4th, when it was literally coming out of my dick. I could see blood inside, and when I pressed the tip against my palm it left little bloodprints, but not enough to form a full drop that could come out. So hopefully I'll be ready to go again tomorrow.

Whenever I go after the manual stretching again, probably tomorrow or the next day, I'm going to try clamping a little farther behind the glans. If I leave more penis outside of the bundle chamber that may reduce the pressure on that outside penis. The only thing is that then more tunica will be outside of the chamber as well, which means I'm stretching a smaller portion of the tunica. That won't matter much at all for expressive stretches, though, and I beat the hell out of my tunica with the bundled stretches anyway!

It's also possible that the forces I'm using, 20 and sometimes 25lbs, might just be a bit much. I don't want to back off of that if I can help it, so I'll play with that last. If any of you have $10 to spare for a luggage scale, I'd be interested to see just how much force you use for your manual stretches! (Here's the one I bought, about $7 and free shipping with Prime, works pretty darn well).

Onward and upward!

You know I hadn't read this properly! Its a terrific idea, and will measure the amount of force being exerted on the penis while using the length master or power assist

I won't lie, I've been pretty shocked at how slowly this thing is taking off. I know people have traditionally stretched "blind," and plenty of people have gotten fine results that way, but it seems overwhelmingly obvious to me that one is better off measuring this stuff!

Even just doing it on my own, I know exactly how much force I'm using. I know for a fact that I'm not hitting it hard one day but inadvertently backing off the next. It's because I'm measuring that I know I can get a good stretch in at 15lbs, but avoid injury by keeping it there. It's because I'm measuring that I can hit that safe-but-effective range day after day.

And then imagine when it's common for the entire PE community to measure the forces used during stretching, and we have access to that kind of data! Maybe we see patterns emerge of some optimal range or practice that consistently gets the best results. Maybe we will have the numbers to show how important progressive overload is. Maybe we'll find that PO works best when we increase the time, or best when we increase intensity. Maybe we'll find PO isn't a thing at all and the best is to just stay consistent. Maybe we'll find different answers for different sorts of people. Who knows what patterns could emerge that would help us get smarter and smarter about how we train? We won't find out until we've got the data. :)

Great suggestion, in Barracuda's thread, about including a scale with the devices we already sell. That should help get the ball rolling!
 
Today marks the 4th straight week of hitting it every (week)day! Had to back off here and there due to injury, but going forward I should be able to avoid even that now that I've got a safe and effective force range to use. My poor girth work there at the end is what needs the most attention, but length is my primary focus anyway. If I need to play catchup with girth later then I can shift the emphasis of the workout and break out the pump again. :)

Speaking of girth work, I found yesterday that I could get a lot more SSJ-ing into my 6 minutes if I didn't try to go for full erection, and actually the quality seemed to go up a bit. I could feel the pressure a bit better when there was a bit more 'give' in the shaft, and I could roll it around a bit like DLD does in that dildo theater video. (Where did you guys shoot that?? :D) Anyway, something to try if you've been struggling with it.

I hope everyone is having a good time going after their goals, and if anyone has fallen off the horse this is a great day to get back on!
 
I think this is FANTASTIC and I like looking into things technically, and this brings it more in line with methods such as hanging weights, using the extender, pumping because all those can be measured how much force is being used ... stretching always was a blank zone, and I always used to say stretch with intensity, but as we know my intensity could be medium for you ... people have different strengths, hand grip and literally what DLD sees as a hard pull could be VERY hard for someone else :)

With this device we can say, stretch with for example 40lbs of force, and it is across the entire board with all users.

Oh god 40lbs...

LOL

I feel like I've heard of hangers getting crazy like that, though. Maybe someday I, too, will be so powerful!
 
Just been hitting my daily routine, another good week turned in so far!

Part of my routine involves A-stretches, and I thought I'd mention a couple adjustments I've made to help get more out of that exercise.

The A-stretch was introduced to me primarily as a shaft or tunica stretch, and it certainly accomplishes that, but it can also be adjusted to provide more of a lig or expressive stretch, as well as to help fight turkey neck.

First I'm going to define a couple terms. The hand you use to grip your shaft is called the grip hand (GH) and the hand over which your shaft is stretched is called the stretch hand (SH).

To add a ligament/expressive element, simply pull both hands away from your body once you've set up the stretch and can feel it in your shaft. Be careful not to lose the feeling of stretch in the shaft! To control the tension applied to the lig/expressive element, pull both hands away from your body with more or less force. To control the tension applied to the shaft/tunica element, pull down with your GH and/or push up with your SH. This is actually a great way to get more force into manual stretching than you might otherwise do, since the A-stretch itself actually creates a pretty strong grip on the shaft, and much of the force of your pull away from the body will dissipate down into your SH wrist rather than going straight to your GH grip. Experiment with different directions of pull!

To help reduce or prevent turkey neck, add a twist with your SH. As you place the SH beneath the penis and grab your GH, the top of your SH should be rotated out away from your body. Once you've secured your shaft against the top of your SH, rotate the SH back towards your body again. The friction against your shaft will pull the skin beneath it back away from the glans, adding a TN-fighting skin stretch. Experiment with how much force you apply here, as too force in the skin stretch will reduce the force applied to the tunica, which is your primary target.

By making these adjustments, you can leverage this stretch to accomplish three things at once, rather than simply stretching the shaft/tunica. Just be careful not to get carried away with these adjustments and lose your focus on the tunica! That's first priority. :)
 
Looking at all the work you do in reading through your incredible progress thread I’m just amazed at how well you’ve taken theory here and made it work for you. I see the elements of SRT within your routine so I know that you’re paying attention. I’m also amazed with how much help you give other brothers here, God bless you!

I really appreciate that, DLD. I wouldn't even have gotten started on this stuff in the first place if it weren't for you and the community here at MoS, so any value I provide is just fruit of the tree you planted. ;)

Continue in your awesome work and I think will have a place for you in management pretty soon!

BPFL: 5 1/4"
BPSFL: 7 3/4"
Erect Girth: 5 1/4"
BPEL: 7 3/8"

You can see these measurements in the context of my entire history here.

Rest week over, back to work!
