i recently rediscovered my
silistretcher after putting it away for many years. I wanted to confirm a few things I was unsure about.
Well, dusting off the old tools is never a bad thing. But do make sure to evaluate the tool for any possible rusting (the C-clip) and faulty parts that have been sitting for too long. If you need restoration steps, I made one for the rusting issue in the past.
Just wondering how the brothers prevent the rust from occuring for the seat rings at the top? Rust starts to form around the seating c-clamp ring and washer at the top and making a mess. I can't figure a way to remove the sealing
cap (the one with the o-rings) to clean the seating c-clamp and washer.
Beside that, how to apply the silicone on the o-rings and not the side of the chamber? Applying the food grade silicone on the
cylinder wall simply get it wiped away.
Am i still getting a stretch / making gains by wearing the
silistretcher alone without using the belt to stretch in different directions (so simply putting it on, turning the piston and then laying down watching TV) or do i need to include the belt to actually make it work?
So, to answer your multi-level question, no, you're not getting any benefit by just slapping on the
SiliStretcher under negative pressure. You need some level of traction, starting at 900g of pull/traction force. But before wearing the
SiliStretcher, it's heavily advised to perform a 5 to 30-minute newbie
SRT stretching/warmup. The more exercises, such as the infamous bundled exercises, you can incorporate into your warm-up/stretching routine, the more effectively the
SiliStretcher will help you achieve gains. A stretcher, like an extender, helps cells heal in an elongated state. If there's no prior stretching, it will take the stretcher/extender much longer just to loosen the tissues and stress them before the healing process can solidify the gain. Reduce the total time to "initiate" the process by manually stretching and stressing the tissues first.
If i use
hanging weights do i also need to remain standing or sitting forward at all time to make the
weight hanging actually work, if so how long would be good to hang with some
weight each day i hang?
You can sit or stand if you're using the
weight. Standing pulls the ligaments and base tissues, along with the entire penile tunica. Sitting down, depending on how the penis is rested, may only offer part of the penile length to be stretched. If you're using a pulley system or
hanging the line from the
weight, you can specify the angles to stretch at while sitting or lying down.
The time period of
hanging depends on how far along your are on your restart of your journey. Starts at 2.5lbs again for the next 4 to 6 weeks to get the tissues back into the rhythm of things. With light stretches, you can cut that time back around 3 to 4 weeks. Every 2 to 3 weeks, increase the
weight by 0.5lb, MAX! Going anything past 0.5lbs at a time will overstress the tissues, causing your tissues to hit a plateau very fast. It's not about how much
weight you can add into your regimen. It's about consistent and long period of
weight influences. Around 3.5lbs, the amount of stress loading will be more than enough to cause tissue stress loading to break tissues down. The trick is to do a dynamic stress load routine. For example, you can temporarily push the manual stretching from 2.5lbs for warm up, to 4.5lbs for tissue break down, and back down to 2.5 lbs for a long period
hanging using static
weight. For us that use the
Length Master, we use the gentle warmup using 2.5lbs or even 3lbs of bundled exercises in the first 5 minutes, push up to as high as 7lbs in the the next 5 minutes, reduce to 5lbs in the following 5 minutes, a systematic push for 10lbs just for a few minutes, and reduce back to 2.5lbs using
hanger or extender for as long as we can.
The more
weight you force your penile tissues to be under, the faster the penile tissues will adapt to the new stress loads. When that happens, you hit a plateau very fast. You need to keep the body and tissues guessing. Dynamic stress loading is the best method, but keep a very low, constant load between 900g and 1.15kg (1.9lbs and 2.5lbs) to optimize and maximize post-routine gain-cementing. Don't push too hard into the zealous mode that you end up regretting. Ease in and discipline yourself to maintain consistent routines in the long run.
