Just curious, but why is it that a pump can supposedly stretch your tunica allowing easier gains from other exercises, but pumping won't produce many gains by itself?
If it expands the penile tissues and tunica, shouldn't that be the same as doing jelqs or constricting??
thanks
I don't know. It's a question that I hope someone who has more knowledge than me can find out sometime.
I've been intending to start a thread to ask about the difference between why hand exercises appear to stimulate growth more than pumping alone.
I've read bodybuilding articles that say that stretching the fascia increases the capacity of the muscle to grow more.
I suppose a basic description would be to compare it with a brand new balloon.
At first, it's tough, and hard to stretch,...but once you stretch it a bit, and blow it up, it becomes much easier to blow the balloon up. You don't need as much internal pressure for the balloon to fill with air.
I have personally found out that since I've been pretty big before (muscle wise),..then when I've been lazy and haven't touched the weights for a few months, it doesn't take as much time to get back to that original big size. It's quicker than when I first started training to get to the same size.
The tunica is similar in many ways to the penis as to what the fasicai is to skeletal muscle.
So why doesn't the pump in itself make the penis grow more than hand manual exercises?
I don't know, but maybe different pressures are at work, that stress the penis differently.
Maybe you get more pressure on internal tissues when the pressure is being pushed into the penis internally. Maybe you get microtrauma on the tissues.
And Maybe when blood is being drawn into the penis by a vacuum, it isn't being as direct on the internal tissues and generating as much pressure on them and breaking them down as much.
Maybe the pump can really stretch the tunica and enable the penis to have more potential in it's capacity to grow, but it's effects on the inner penis are minimal. So you have bag that is less tough to stretch, but needs the stimulus of manual exercises to also put pressure on the internal tissues so when the penis grows it is better able to grow to the larger capacity of the bag that the pump helped create.
I don't know, I hope somebody is able to look into this somehow. Maybe a lot of that has no basis whatsoever, but maybe there is some truth there as well.
I'm thinking that deconditioning the penis for a week every two months may be beneficial too, so that if the penis becomes tough as leather from training every day, and is too stubborn to grow, the deconditioning may make the penis supple again and make the penis more responsive to growth again.
I'm not saying that any of this is correct, but I'd like to know what other people think about anything I say.
