The Restart.

[Arcadium Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Arcadium]

Been on the grind for the past 1.5 months or so doing simple stretching and then added jelqs midway. Just got my X4 Labs extender in the mail today so I'm gonna be fully logging everything again.

Stretches Up, Left, Right, Out, Down(Back) will be abbreviated to UDLRO
3 rounds each direction for 30 second holds

X4 Labs Extender
4 sets of an hour each starting.

Edged for 30 minutes

Looking for some input on including and progressing on the extender, anyone used X4 before or has a post that I could follow.

Good luck. Add jelqs at some point

Your routine looks pretty much like the one I have most success with.

Appreciate it man, I just swapped off my previous program, a modified JP90 with the streches and 150 Jelq, 90 V-Jelqs. Should I just add all that volume back or rebuild it with 50/week then reach that amount by week 3?

How is X4 going so far? I haven't used it...

To be honest, it's kinda... Odd? Like it doesn't really come with a manual, I have no idea what tension I am on and getting it on was rather annoying. Kind of gotten the hang on getting strapped it but yeah.

But it is my first extender, technically first PE Device so I can't complain.

AND it's only been a week so I can't say how it has helped with gains. Flaccid does seem to hang lower? But not entirely sure, weather has been "warming" up.

Might add back jelqs to help with EQ. Edging as well.

Yeah, I pretty much carried on with the full jp90 style stretches then included the extender.

I mixed it up too. So I'd do one set of directionals, put the extender on for an hour or so, take it off and do another set of directionals, put the extender back on for however long then take it off, do another set of directionals etc. I'd finish with jelqs.

I got to the point where I'd do about 4 sets of directionals and up to 6 hours extending.

I started then adding in other stretches like assisted stretches and bundles.

Judging by your posts your doing the right thing. Just keep an eye on your PIs and gradually increase sets, intensity and volume. If you're gaining on your current volume then stick to it until it dries up.

I measure once every 2 weeks roughly. I know people are against frequent measurements but I think they are valid. I won't jump to any conclusions if I measure shy one day or if I measure a gain. I'll wait until next measurement day to confirm things

Hope this helps.
