Stan's stretching journal

Max BPFSL is now closer to the 11/16" mark than the 5/8", EQ still good.

Hey Stan,

Quick questions for you: you say you do hard stretching, is that when youre fully erect? And for how long do you do them? And do you think edging helps with the growth process?

You say you do hard stretching, is that when youre fully erect?

No it means I pull very hard. I only stretch when completely flaccid.

And for how long do you do them?

The duration of individual stretches depends on the quality of the grip, usually 30-40 seconds. I do as many a day as glans soreness allows.

And do you think edging helps with the growth process?

I've found that any strong erect kegelling greatly reduces the stretchability of my unit the next day, so I don't actually edge because of the heavy involuntary contractions that happen when close to the PONR. I try to stay at max erection for extended periods of time but without getting too close, kinda like ballooning I guess.

No new FSL gains but it's been five days without a 100% erection, it feels like something's happening at last. Night/morning wood has been so-so as well, and today at the best erection level I could achieve it was still unusually bendable at the base. In the next few days I'm going to stop stretching as soon as I get to max BPFSL and focus on trying to get it to fill up to capacity.

Stan when you say you ballooning and not edge till max erection for extended periods of time. How often and long you do these for ?

Would you say this help in your length gains ?

Very interesting your routine focused on stretchings.
I've been having problems getting my unity half erect when I start pulling. It gets engorged and almost impossible to have a decent grid.
Also I try to hold the stretch until my thumb get tired. Then I do a helicopter to let blood flow and then I grip with the other hand.

Not really ballooning either, apparently it's called plateau edging
Essentially the idea is to never stop the stimulation, all the while avoiding any strong involuntary contractions. This I think allows it to actually get to max erection, as opposed to max expansion.

A new thing I've been doing though, is that when I feel I'm at 100% I stop stimulation then I forcefully push it down and keep it there until erection subsides. This keeps the last few inches rock hard for a good while without any pelvic contractions.

How often and long you do these for ?

Every day, duration varies but it's at least 30 minutes total.

Would you say this help in your length gains ?

I don't know as I haven't made any EL gains for a long time but it totally feels like the right thing to do. Hopefully I'll be able to give you a definitive answer soon

Yes it happens to me too but not often enough that it's a problem.

Thanks Stan

I read some of your log and I believe you haven't really increase the duration maybe about 10-15 mins max per day, but mostly manipulated the intensity. I find that most people increase reps (duration) to make more gains but u haven't. Whats the logic behind your short and intense routine in making gains for you ?

Also I am assuming that you are currently hold a stretch with both hands to increase intensity ?

Simple: if I hadn't increased the intensity I wouldn't have made any more gains. Same reason why I eventually switched to downward stretching: I just couldn't exert enough force anymore to keep on gaining from straight out stretches.

Yes, one hand covering the other, to improve the grip actually, so I can pull harder.

Have you ever experimented with Lazy Ass Stretches?

But isn't is hard to gauge the intensity needed to gain ?

How would you determine that you need to increase the intensity ?

How long without gains would you go before you switch up things ?

I can do bed BTC stretches but not sitting LAS because of my huge balls, they have nowhere to go and it really hurts. BTC feel to me like they mostly stretch skin so I don't use them much at all.

Three questions, one answer: I measure my BPFSL after every session. I can't stress enough how useful it is, with experience it quasi-instantly lets me know whether what I'm doing is going to work or not.

Interesting so how long without BPFSL gains do you go before change things ?

Hey Stan,

I know you said you do straight foward stretches as hard as you can but when i do it, i find that the skin around my pelvic area is being stretched too. So i was wondering does that even matter or do you retract the skin with one hand and pull with the other?

Fortunately I haven't had to ask myself that question for a long time, but when the BPFSL gains eventually stop again I think I'll be out of options anyway. I don't see how I can still increase intensity, and more volume isn't a possibility either unless I find a way to have a good grip without hurting my glans at all.
And to actually answer your question, about one week would probably be enough to be 100% sure I'm not gaining anymore.

I don't care about the skin, I'd rather use my other hand to help with the grip. How exactly is it a problem that your skin gets stretched, are you afraid of it becoming permanent?
