Stan's stretching journal

BPEL is now 10"1/32 and another gain is probably on the way

The "shifts" keep on happening even though I still have trouble stretching, now it's my stretching hand that hurts like hell, it started with a callus pressing on a nerve or something, I removed too much of it and now I have a nasty crack that won't heal. I have no other choice than to try and stretch with my other hand, I get decent force but the grip isn't as good yet.

Stan, have you ever considered using the 5G tea? This may help with EQ.

My only EQ issues come directly from stretching and are always temporary, but thanks for the suggestion

Stan,

These shifts you're talking about, are gains I'm assuming?

Sorry to hear about the hand. Have you ever tried lots of Talcom powder? Intensifies the grip about 2x I would say. I find myself getting as good a stretch with Talcom gripping half as hard VS no Talcom.

Congrats on the new measurements! Unbelievable.

These shifts you're talking about, are gains I'm assuming?

Yes FSL gains, followed by EQ loss, and EL gains upon recovery.

Although I can sometimes already see a change in EQ on the same day as the shift, the severe loss only happens the next day, must have something to do with night wood, or lack thereof at that point. Then when EQ starts getting better I get a lot more night/morning wood than usual, cause or effect I can't say but there's definitely a link.

Also I've noticed that my unit gets a lot less stretchable as EQ gets better, then as soon as EQ is fully back it becomes all nice and stretchable again and a new cycle can begin.

BTW, contrary to conventional wisdom I strongly believe that keeping on stretching when EQ is down, even though it clearly doesn't want to get stretched at that point, is key to EL gains, so it doesn't simply heal back to the same size. Clearly that's what it tries to do, and did several times during my long plateau where EQ would be down for a long time and I'd eventually chicken out and stop stretching, only to see EQ come back with no gains.

No I haven't tried it. The thing is, for a good grip I always soap wash my hands and glans right before every session, and the grip is optimal with thoroughly dried hands but the glans still a little damp. As soon as the glans gets dry I lose the grip (hence why I do short sessions). How do you think talcum would come into play there? Does it tend to make things drier or wetter or a happy medium?

Congrats on the new measurements! Unbelievable.

Thank you! I can't bring myself to fully believe it actually, not until it undeniably looks significantly bigger I guess...

This is beyond incredible dedication and gains! I have read through your whole thread Stan and super props to you for continuing engagement with the community!! I am just starting my PE journey and stretch 3 times a day for about 10 minutes each time. So far I'm noticing great difference in my flaccid hang. We will see how far I can go with this

as as far as talc powder or baby powder, it will increase the friction between your hands and skin and prevent slippage. Give it a try, it may reduce your effort to maintain a grip and give you an even better, more intense stretch!

Stan is a beast! I enjoy reading the curious case study of Stan's cockolog.

IfI used bundle stretches since I want both length and girth would I achieve the same results as you ?

Or is it that basic stretches are better for length than bundle stretches ?

BPEL is now a consistent 10"3/32. How it's progressing faster than BPFSL is baffling, the only explanation I see is that the jelqing I've been doing has released some gains from older FSL gains that never had a chance to translate to erect. Either that or I'm measuring wrong, but I don't see how it's possible.

Funny that you mention bundled stretches, I just started experimenting with them as I haven't been able to get a good stretch lately because of the bad grip. I've been waiting for a new "shift" for several days now but I just can't exert enough force to make it happen. All I can say for now about bundled stretches is they feel like powerful stuff even with the bad grip.

Ywah thats why I started them because its harder to get a stretch with basic stretches at time. They are intense enoguh that you eventually lose erection even when stretching. Just wondering if they are more effective than basic stretches ?

yo Stan, i know you've talked about the "shifts" before, but can you go more into detail? Furthermore, it seems that you expect these shifts quite often. Interestingly, you correlate exerting force on stretching the cawk with these shifts. Almost as if you didn't get a shift, your workout/exercise wasn't good. Any detail/discussion about these shifts would be very informative, at least to Beefster.

It just feels like something "gives", somewhere in the shaft, when my unit is in its more stretchable state and I'm able to stretch hard enough.

I can't really tell where it happens exactly, it might not even be in the same place every time. It's a rather dull feeling, but I've learned to recognize it instantly.

When it happens it means BPFSL gain, followed by loss of EQ, loss of stretchability during EQ recovery, and BPEL gain when EQ is back. The EL gain is most likely already there before/during EQ recovery, just not measurable because I can't get to max erection.

Furthermore, it seems that you expect these shifts quite often.

They've been happening regularly enough that I've come to expect one as soon as EQ is back and my unit gets more stretchable again.

Unfortunately this time I can't get a decent stretch, and if I can't pull really hard for at least 20 seconds there's no chance it's going to happen.

They are intense enoguh that you eventually lose erection even when stretching.

Good for you then

Just wondering if they are more effective than basic stretches ?

Time will tell. Right now I just do two of them at the beginning of my sessions, 360° in each direction. They seem to at least do a good job at loosening things up for the normal stretches.

Three more cycles have gone by and I just entered another one. I haven't had a chance to do many measurements before EQ dropped again but it seems BPEL is now 10"3/16.

This all happened thanks to the bundled stretches. The only difference is I don't really feel the "shifts" anymore so I have to be careful, with the second cycle I probably overdid it as EQ took longer than usual to come back, it felt a lot like in the old days, low angle and very bendable at the base. Anyway it's nice having that option, since I still can't get a good grip with my left hand most of the time, and my right hand is still unusable for stretching and shows no signs of getting better. The stretching is clearly what caused the issue, even if I let the hand rest until it doesn't hurt anymore the pain quickly comes back when I try using it again for hard stretching.

BTW I tried talcum powder for the grip but it doesn't work for me, it makes the glans way too dry.

Stan you are the man! Here's to the 11 train!

Stan what is your secret?.. could you do an update on your routine so the ppl who dont want to sit here and read through 5 years of posts, can see? Also what are your thoughts on extenders or ads, have you used them?

[murad1 Member Find all posts View Profile Close murad1]

I guess why I cant have gains from PE is having low testosterone which 3 out of 40, I am going steroid soon..

After 5 months rough streching 10 min a day there is no even 1 mm progress
