Keeping Your Grip

I do the exact same thing, so do many others.
I find no problem with slippage. I have a problem with findiing a spot where I can exert max power while stretching, without squeezing my head to death and getting huge bruises/blisters.
I use baby powder, the best thing I've used for grip. Your grip can seriously affect the concentration and intensity of your stretch. Very important.
I find that in order for me to get sufficient lig stretch I don't need incredible grip. I used to use gloves and 2 hands at full power. I did damage and didn't gain a thing.
Damage is the word. I had a situation a while back from putting too hard of a tug on. I have since been backing off on intensity because I really did do some nerve damage.
I have been really analyzing my grip and realized that when i grip too close to the head I am putting too much stretch and clamp where the head joins the shaft. This has caused some loss of sensation in my head. I also try to avoid putting too much blood pressure in the head when jelqing.
My new approach is to do stretching from a little lower than the head. I use less tension but consistent tension. My general routine is lighter too. Maybe I will gain slower, who knows.
Banana what kind of damage did you do?

Another thing to consider is using the Power Assist to help with intensity and not as much grip needed as the stretch is applied through the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/join-now.html]PA[/words] fulcrum points.
