extending sometimes?

[bigjuan]

I posted this question in another thread but didn't get a response.

I'm wondering...is there any harm and/or benefit to using an extender occasionally. I have an x4 extender, with limited time. I can usually hang for about an hour or two maybe a couple days a week at best. At this point, I've heard it may not be worth it to use, but I'm wondering, is there any harm? And, could it be a beneficial supplement to an existing JP90 routine?

thanks guys!

There is no harm, but I doubt there is any benefit either. Yes do manuals first and put on the extender on low tensions.

It's a shame you only get a few hours a week. Hanging for 2 to 4 hours a week is not enough to get much development. If you are doing jp90 then that will be where most of your gains come from. I was hanging for about 3 years and got some good gains. The gains stopped and I swapped to an extender. Now the gains are happening again. I use the extender for about 5 hours a day, 4 days a week. I would like to do more too.
As Vulture said, using the X4 for a few hours will not cause harm, and is probably most useful to keep your unit at full extent after your usual routine.

thanks for the responses guys! I think that, when I can, I'll plan to wear it for a couple hours after my routine. While it may not make a huge difference, maybe every little bit counts?

it does work but only as other said with more hours on the clock. After jelqing I put on my pro extender for about 5 - 6 hours 5 days a week and now with full tension. I am in the 6 months of PE and gained about 0.7" and girth has improved a lot (much thicker today). So keep going bigjuan.

For foreskin restorers I recommend 10-12 hours per day under gentle tension. They can add 1mm to 3mm per month to the forced reach of the skin tube (since it's a doubled-over sleeve of skin that's 2mm - 6mm of new skin). They use tensions between 5 and 15 ounces. The tugging Force they can use depends on the skin thickness, penile girth, and how easy it is for them to take a break or re-adjust. That amount of tension causes productive Stress in the skin, leading to accelerated cell divisions and expansion of the skin and other tissues (blood vessels, muscle fibres, nerve fibres).

I mention all this because Stress is defined as Force divided by the cross-sectional Area upon which the Force acts. The shaft has a cross sectional Area like 5 - 10 times as great as the skin tube, so it should take 5 - 10 times as much tension to get shaft expansion rates that foreskin restorers get easily in their skin. That simply can not be worn hours at a time without choking off the blood supply.

So hanging / extending gains are already - by geometry - limited to being far slower than foreskin expansion rates. And if you're not under tension 10-12 hours per day like restorers are, then divide down your expectations further.

To me, it's a "why bother" situation for you.

that's actually really helpful TLCTugger. thanks!
