Progress thread Stretch For the Stars...Land in the Cul de Sac!!!

Awesome man, keep it up. Nice log.

I am still in decon break for a few months.I have to save up for the ultrasound device and I need my money now for other priorities in life. I will catch up soon. I’m doing only pelvic floor muscle exercises to keep everything in top condition.
 
That’s awesome and I appreciate it. Are you still having any issues with the forum?
 
Plan on starting new cycle next week. I gave a trip this week and interview for my master's degree next Monday so after that I'll look to start back. I'm sure my glans is not conditioned for vacuum hanger so they'll be a break in period.
BPSFL: 22.2 cm (8.74 I )
BPEL: 20.6-20.8 cm (8.11-8.19 in)
MSEG: 14.2 cm (5.59 in)

Slightly extended decon, no losses. I start school in fall, I have 95% confidence I'll get in. Between balancing work & school both full time, gym life and the wife, PE will have to be put on hold. I can always do like I did this past summer, come back and make easy gains. I may or may not be in school over the summer semester in 2021. If not I may pick PE back up. I may reach my end goal by the Fall, who knows.

Awesome to hear man! I hope you will get accepted into the master’s programme.

I am still in my decon break and saving up for the ultrasound device. Doing kegel routines. I don’t jelq or anything because I want to focus on length only.
 
So I was sick all last week. I work the next 3 days. I got a good starting session in today and will wear PE weights today and while at work next few days. Hoping to get another session in on Thursday after work and 1 or 2 over the weekend. Will do better with experimenting with ADS this go around. I did get into my school of choice. I’ll be hanging this up around late August. Maybe for good, maybe not.

Strain: 2.67%

Comments: So I started off good and was stretching past what I've been getting. Moved onto heated hanging and maybe didn't set up properly or had the fulcrum pulling the skin wrong but when I removed the LG I was met with copious amounts of fluid. This is my 3rd blister in my entire career and I didn't follow my own rules of a slow progression, especially after the decon. My glans was just not ready for it and the other factors that I mentioned. It's the biggest one I've ever had, almost the size of dime. I'll take some time off and switch to only bib hardcore hanger at least for a while. I'll probably utilize the regular extender for precondition stretch or use ADS for 2 hours before routine. This will take a full week to fully heal.

30 min x4 extender with stress relaxation every 5 min

20 min hanging A-stretch (1.25 inch diameter) with Bib Hardcore @ 8.25 lbs heated with US (1.8 w/cm²) with IR light
T²: 18.9
10 min Hardcore fulcrum stretches with Bib hardcore and PA, mainly upper angles and A- stretch with some bundles thrown in. 15 sec buildup, 15 sec all out, 15 sec rest intervals
T³: 19.0
Strain: 2.15%

Comments: The scab from my blister finally fell off! The skin is still new, sensitive and darker colored. This is like my 2nd time using the X4 extender without the vacuum mod and it'll take some getting used to. Because I'm now using bib hardcore for my heated stretch, the attachment point is behind the glans not from it and so US was applied more proximal at the base. The base is harder to heat up, I may increase intensity next time and try to attach closer to glans. I also needed 5 min between hanging and my after stretches for good blood flow, I keep IR lamp on and space heater.

I really had to fight for that strain rate. I'll keep making tweaks to optimize routine. Will be wearing PE weights today and tomorrow. I have taken the last 10 days off and will now get back to it.

How long are you on lockdown for? We’ve been on lockdown for 15 days and I think they’re going to extend it to April 8. I hope they find a cure very quickly
 
We're more practicing social distance, no mandatory curfew in my area but Atlanta has which is about 25 min from me. Hoping to start on the downward slope in a month.
