Are there any specific exercises for the BC and IC muscles outside of working the PC exercises? I do a lot of driving for work, so I do the typical flexing routine while sitting. I feel more of a flex down there when I do the exercises so it feels like there's somewhat of a gain but, my main focus is working on things which are, as you mentioned, directly responsible for the dick.
Lots of great info guys. Thanks!
First as with any muscle the brain muscle connection is as important as the stimulus itself.
Which means you have to do it 100% aware and focused.
Its like a bodybuilder starting construction.He might have the strength to do the job but he doesnt know how to use it as he is only used to one dimensional pulls.
In my opinion a 5 -10 minute focused kegel routine is indefinately more powerfull then kegeling in the checkout line or while driving.
It always helps checking out anatomical pictures from different viewpoints and check what the muscles you see there are supposed to do. Then you can consciously aware focus on engaging them. Until the brain connection isnt strong enough its hard to discern the muscles.
visualization via the anatomical pictures helps.
Easiest way to find out is Imo to get erect and engage them. BC muscle is at the underside of the shaft. So you should focus there right at the base of the dick. Lie down and get erect. Push your dick with your hand towards your body/bellybutton. Try to lift your dick agaisnt the push of your hand up and away from your belly. Try to engage only the bc muscle right at the underside and base of your dick. The CS(corpus spongosium) might get filled with blood also the glans.
Now the IC muscle(check diagramms) is on the topside of your dick. It comes as one from the base right behind the pubic bone and then gets divided like a V. You want to try to join the two legs of the V together towards the pubic bone "pulling" by muscle contraction outwards ontop of your dick (towards the glans so to say..but the muscle itself is basicly not going sitting much outwards the pubic bone).Its basicly the opposite of the BC muscle(but not neccasarly the antagonist as you can engage both). The Ic is harder to build the brain connection and easier to tire. To engage it you lie down get erect and push your dick to the right or left side by hand(towards your legs). and then push agaisnt it to , by muscle force, push it back dead center.
this movement by the IC happens more fro mthe top and the upper side of your inner penis.
I did too muhc normal kegels and i think I destabillized my pelivic floor.After some time I got better EQ and standing quality after training the IC and BC equally.
Once you get how you can enage the msucle you can find other positions and ways to train and them(in the pump, while flaccid stretching etc.)
With the "PC" kegel many engage the BC and IC too but are unaware of it and cant discern it.
I might write a more detailed article at some time. Anatomical pictures help(google picture search) really help
