How hard do you pull when measuring bpfsl ?

As hard as I can, while bone-pressing as hard as I can.

How often are you doing your stretching routine ?

Depends, and I don't have a definite routine anymore, but on average I think I still get my 15-20 minutes of total daily stretching time.

How often are you measuring ?

I'm back to measuring my BPFSL every day, several times a day actually, as I need a few stretching sessions before I get to my max.

BPEL, not so often anymore. I think I've come to the point where I can spot any EL gain just by looking at it, so I tend to spare myself the PITA.

What can I do to make my penis stop being afraid of the ruler ?

Do you mean you can't keep him at 100% when he knows you're about to measure?

Yea he is Not at 100% eq when measuring BPEL ?

Also for measuring BPFSL how many times to you need to do it before it reaches its max ?(i find sometimes when i measure i end up with a smaller size initially,but after a few more it starts to increase in size)

Also for you how many BPFSL gains do you need before it starts to translate to erect gains ?

Great journal Stan!

Keep at it

For the last ten days or so I've been doing my stretches straight downwards, just as though I were hanging. I feel it works the base of the ligs better than any of my other techniques so far. I alternate this with box stretches and some shock stretches (straight forward), and always end my sessions with a power shake to regain blood circulation in the tip of the glans.

I was a little over-enthusiastic the other day with my BPFSL gains announcement (the post disappeared when the site crashed, and it's probably better this way).
My 10"7/16 measurements were obtained right after stretching sessions. I had not done this for months, and it turns out it makes a significant difference.
Now, when measuring the way I always do, I can reach halfway between the 3/8 and 7/16 marks consistently. I couldn't before, so maybe there's indeed a slight gain, probably thanks to the downward stretches, but the jury's still out.

Thanks PurpleOnes

Also for measuring BPFSL how many times to you need to do it before it reaches its max ?(i find sometimes when i measure i end up with a smaller size initially,but after a few more it starts to increase in size)

Usually 3-4 times, with stretching sessions in between.

Also for you how many BPFSL gains do you need before it starts to translate to erect gains ?

I don't know, but I actually kept on gaining EL for months after my FSL gains stopped, albeit much more slowly than before.

Hey Stan great stats! I got a question if you don't mind answering it. Does your grip ever slip off the glands when your doing manual stretches? I feel this to be a big issue for me, causing pain.

Hey thanks, yes the grip is always the weakest link, and I've learned to stop the stretch right when the hand starts to slip.

So how long do you do your stretches for? I currently do 14 min of stretching plus 6 min of jelqing

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

2-3 minutes per session, 4-6 sessions a day, that's for the hard stretching, but I also pull on it casually whenever I can, usually without even thinking about it.

UPDATE: There's little doubt anymore that I've made some BPFSL gains.
I get halfway between 3/8 and 7/16 without even pulling that hard, if I really go for it I can get very close to the 7/16 mark, and I can easily hit it in full right after a stretching session.

So I will keep this routine from now on:

-hands and glans wash for optimal grip
-optional BPFSL measure
-box stretch until glans starts to hurt, usually no more than 1 minute
-optional very short lock stretches straight forward at max power with both hands, one covering the other
-fully downward stretch with both hands until grip starts to fail, usually 40 seconds
-fully downward stretch again, stronger and obviously shorter
-optional gentle upward stretch with optional kegel
-50-60 shock stretches, straight forward plus a few lighter ones to the sides
-short fully downward stretch at max power
-horizontal then vertical power shakes
-optional few slow jelqs in case of semi at this point

This 4-5 times a day, more on weekends, plus lots of casual stretching, mostly downwards, and random kegels throughout the morning.

Hey Stan have you used that can to do any more stretches or was that just a one time thing?

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

I use it at the beginning of every session (see above), it does a great job at loosening things up.
