Yes, for the powerassist I am using the handle and ring of the LM3.
Got it. When you can, try to upgrade it with the plates so you can do bundled stretches so the lateral tissues can be broken down faster with less pulling force.
Hmm interesting. The thing is, I always thought as long as I am stretching with full force/at max capacity that it didnt really matter how long the sets are, as long as I achieve a workout of 20-25 mins. I did try to stretch for longer but it would get so uncomfortable I found that it suited me better to stretch at max capacity for 1 minute, then a short rest. I used to do 5 mins straight of bts but I could never hold at full force without "releasing" a little several times over the 5 mins. This is why I choose the 1 min full force stretches.
Maybe I am wrong though and this is losing me gains...
It's correct to go full force, but pulling full force by hands only lacks the "full force" that we're looking for. Human's pulling strength lacks the assisting strength of mechanical assistant, such as the pulley system. In this case, leverage and contortion/twisting application. Rather than pulling at 10kg to 15kg of pure strength, which can arm the penile tissues, all you need is 5kg to 7kg using the PowerAssist with the plates while the penile shaft is bundled/twisted. That still generates about 15kg of pulling force result.
If you're using 1 minute full capacity, bundle the pull and you'll achieve better results. Increase it to 2 minutes, and you'll get even more results. If you reach upper intermediate around 7 to 8 months, you can go a full 5 minutes before the 1 minute rest and maximize the results even more. When you reach around 5 minutes per exercise, you are causing the tissues to reach peak fatigue zone, creating a bit of achiness and soreness without the pains. You can select 5 different exercises, or even 6 exercises, you achieve the same 25 to 30 minutes.
When increasing the time of sets, can i lower the total sets or leave them as is? In other words, does the workout need to be x2 longer than currently?
Yes. You can decrease from 6 to 8 down to 5 to 6, but increase the time to 5 minutes, and eventually, 10 minutes.
My ads (expander system) tops out at 1,25 kg on the measure bar, although it is possible to apply forces greater than that. Since I am often sitting down at my computer, and the force is amplified, I am pretty sure it's around 1.5kg (or something close to that). Then I reduce it to around 0.75-1kg force for 3-4 hours.
When you max out the extender, the 1.25kg is not really at 1.25kg. When you bend over, or when you overstrech the maximum spring system, the traction pressure from the system exceeds the 1.25kg. It goes as far as 3kg while the tension indicator max out at 1.25kg, as you suspected it.
At this point, stick at 1.25kg, and ease out down just a tiny bit below it. You're perfectly fine. Since you are under the slow grower condition, we'll use the ADS to the peak advantage.
