I posted some stretching excercises I have had a lot of success with in terms of being able to pull harder and longer but not wear out just my arm muscles. With these excercises I use the back, upper chest, lower chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, you name it and the great thing about them is that you can use the resistance of your penis to add some strength all around your body (though nothing is gonna beat free
weights, but it is a good alternative for an upper body workout if you ask me).
Anyways, I have modified some of
THESE EXCERCISES since I made this post, so maybe I will put up a follow up post in the near future when I have perfect them. Who knows maybe sell a video since every other gym rat in existence seems to be doing "GET 6 PACK ABS IN 6 MINUTES" excercises. Hehe.
But yah, I agree with the original poster that your tunica will toughen up a lot faster than you can add upper body strength to keep the quality of the stretch high enough to be doing anything and I have found that anywhere from going 3-4 weeks of stretching will toughen up my tunica enough that I need to take a 2 week break. So in
THIS POST I MADE I was talking about a 3 week cycle of rotating lig, tunica, and girthwork.
After reevaluating it, I decided to go on a 6 week cycle where I do two excercises at a time and rest for two weeks on the other. The reason for this is basically that from what I read about tissue deconditioning, it takes 7-9 days to fully heal tissues from stress and then real deconditioning does not take place until after that with the greatest amount happening within a week after that 7-9 day period. So I figured, if I did ligs and girth for two weeks, then moved to ligs plus tunica for another two weeks while resting the girthwork, then finally do girth and tunica for two weeks while resting the ligs, then I would have an optimum gain cycle to break out of a plateau.
So far, the gains have been pretty good (at least in length) in getting out of the plateau. The girth gains have been slow, but I am just about to go into a full girth cycle after 2 weeks off.
Anyways, I have gained a 1/4 inch in erect length and about 1/2 an inch in flaccid stretched length in the last month after basically plateauing for about a month or so previous to that. Also, when I first started back up after 2 weeks, my tunica work seemed to go very well based on past experiences as it seemed to be very stretchable (more like a rubber band and less like a rope), and after the first half a week or so I had all the newbie signs of gains to come as I had stretch marks and excess skin. I am now finished with lig work for the moment and the skin has mostly gone back to normal as had happened when I plateaued so I am thinking I might be at the end of my length gains before needing to take another break again.
Anyways, my gains could be the result of other factors though I am pretty sure this cycle has done me a lot of good just because my penis seemed a lot more receptive to stretching after having rested at least 2 weeks from manual stretching excercises (during this time I still did
hanging and girthwork). I am now excited to see what I can do with girth gains now that the cylindrical tunica tissues have had a nice rest. Hopefully, I can bust out of this 5 inch midshaft girth plateau and at least get an 1/8 of an inch in the next month.
