Hey Longstretch...mine Thunders for any tidbits that you may think helpful/useful and please share

Ok so almost 2 years later and some very non continuous PE bouts and being mainly deconditioning, i.e. resting I'm back. Let's just say i no longer feel the same way I did when I left and I see things have actually improved here. I have bought the silistretcher and am excited to give it a whirl.Since the beginning haha! Time has flown by.
I'm at 7.75 x 5.75 on a good day. I want to eventually get to 8.5 x 6. I'll be happy with 8.0 x 5.75 though
Thanks guys!
20.0 cm (7.87 in) BPEL
21.0 cm (8.26 in) BPSFL
14.7 cm (5.78 in) MSEG
Decided to start tracking in cm as it's easier to track a 0.1 cm gain over a 0.I inch gain.
To more accurately measure tension used I broke out the Bib Hardcore today and used that as my A-stretch with PA as fulcrum. Same warmup and same shutting off IR heat lamp 5 min into it. Did 16 minutes with 8 pounds and reached okay fatigue levels. Then did 6 minutes with lengthmaster for an assortment of stretches, mainly upper sides, bundles and V-stretch. Bib Hardcore and LM have different attachment points and can use same wrap so win win. I will ADS, Jelq for 15 min and repeat stretch routine later today. I wish I had measured BPEL a week or two ago. I feel like I've gained already. I got 5 hours of silistretcher use in 2 sessions on Sunday going for around 2 lbs.
After today Thursday will be my next stretch session. Doing Bucking Bronco in AM (like a leg and hip assisted down and out stretch but way more powerful) and sumo squat stretch throughout the day. Will continue to push ADS especially right after stretch sessions. Will be my first go of using silistretcher at work tomorrow.
I feel like I've gained already. 2 more weeks then decon. If I can gain 0.2 to 0.3 cm per run and maybe only lose 0.1 cm during decon I'll hit my end goal soon.
Sure thing it's post #947 in this thread.
So got 4 hours ADS at work so far with minimal fluid buildup. Currently taking a break till after shift change and then will get 4 or more in. It hasn't felt like much at the time but I got some pretty good fatigue going on, I guess because of the cumulative effect of everything I've been doing.
Something I didn't think about till yesterday was creep deformation. Basically in layman's terms doing a low load for longer time (ADS) can reduce the amount of load required to induce microtears or plastic deformation. So less force is required or the same force has a greater impact... in theory. I did ADS up until my second stretch session last night and ended the night at 21.3 cm BPFSL. If I can I will try to get some ADS work prior to my fulcrum hangs, even the AM sessions
Shit man it's like I can see it growing before my eyes. I went a little zealous this morning. Wanted to put the silistretcher to the test, I attached the siliscale and a foot cord and applied 10 lbs of pressure with my foot for an hour. I pulsed up to 20 lbs on siliscale before reducing load, it held nicely though attaching weight did twist knob which I discussed in my review. For now I'll stick with ADS tension up to 4 or 5 hours before the stretch session. I was not conditioned to it and did get some swelling at frenulum area, I don't recommend people getting over zealous. It took an hour to subside to where I could do my 17 min hang session and 7 min fulcrum and bundled stretches.
After session I measured 21.7 cm (8.54 in) BPFSL! Before session I was still 21.3 cm! Not sure if anything has translated to BPEL but this is amazing progress in such short time. I'll see how I'm progressing next week to see if I'll commence with ADS decon afterwards. Will likely repeat hang session this afternoon with as much ADS as I can fit in. ADS tomorrow and aim for one short session Saturday, I have brought the wife aboard and she's not judging me thank God, but I know not to let this consume my life life I have let it in the past.
Girth measurements same, 21.7 cm BPFSL keeps getting more and more common. I was able to pulse up to 20.3 BPEL before it settles back into 20.0 or slightly below. That's common during other times I've gained too. I will continue out this week and next then go into ADS only for a month. I have an ultrasound unit coming Wednesday. I would like to use it a few times before my break and then intermittently while in ADS during my break.
Upped weight to 9.25 lbs for 15 min and assortment of stretches for 7 minutes.
Just did the math and with this measurement I've broken in to 8 inch club!!! Now this is at 110% erection level and I'd like to solidify 8.5. So I'm hoping to a gain a little more and hoping to not lose an anything in the coming decon break. The ADS should help cement what I've gained while at the same time allow healing and remodeling of tissues. Decon starts after stretch session next Thursday. I'll aim to do 3, possibly 4 more sessions before then.
Just been learning alott about different tissues and trying out different PE strategies. From what I know medically and have experienced in a long PE career it makes sense. Also I have a life these days, working overtime, married and active family and social life, I can't afford to do the hours worth of routines in the past. And I don't think need to. I've learned to really attack the tissues and then just let it rest and heal one can keep making consistent gains. I hope it plays out true in my case but time will tell. I've been hitting milestones so I think the odds are good. The inevitable plateau comes and instead of upping the ante and making maybe 25 to 30% more gains and leading to major conditioning, thereby making future gains harder. I just rest, let the body do its repair work, let the tissues decondition and then come back and do it all over. 2 years off and I can jump back into 8 lb fulcrum hangs tells me I needed the break. I also know what I can get away with and have a better framework of what it takes to gain and keep that up consistently.So you are on the road to gains. What do you feel is the successful approach to using the equipment?

Also I used to use heat throughout treatment now I warm up and then continue the heat during the first couple of minutes. The theory is the heat breaks some of the bonds in the connective tissues and aids in elasticity. The rest of the session it's cooling back off and the connective tissue is rearranging itself in an elongated position. ADS and rest help "cement" this gain as the tissue proliferates, repairs itself and becomes permanently adapted.
ADS or maybe even relaxed manual work BEFORE the main work might aid in creep deformation and will mean a lower load or the same load will have a greater impact. Been testing it out this last week and makes sense. Will concur objectively in a few more "runs" or "gains campaigns" as I like to look at them.
The hardest part is stopping after gaining but as mine and other experiences shows, you can bust that plateau but it'll come with more work, more conditioning, more work in the future to make the same gains, possibility of gains coming to a halt and will prolong the decon one would need to "reset" the tissues before another gains campaign.
Attack it, rest it, track your progress, get those "easy" (or easier) and"cheap" 75% gains and then take a break. Rinse and repeat. Now with girth I will probably do like 5 days on 5 days off. I tend to gain girth easy. You'll see I do a 1 day on 1 to 3 day off for length. Do that for one month. Rest for a month or two. I say rest but I continue sumo squat stretches and ADS if possible.
I could be the Iron Guru?!!! Trying to get like Frank Zane.
Got the ultrasound machine and tried it out. It's 3 mhz. Felt deep warmth after a few minutes. Did it while in ADS and then again while fulcrum hanging. Measured 22.0 cm BPFSL. Will probably not be able to get my second stretch session in tonight but that's okay. After next Thursday I'll go on my month long ADS decon break
