Blink2000's Progress Journal

Thanks. I was perhaps a hair under that mark, so I'll have to check again to confirm. I'm close enough though to know I have grown lately.
I can see the logic of why maybe I shouldn't warm-down based on that information.
On the other hand, when I stay warm, it keeps a lot of blood-flow in my penis, the tissues stay expanded, and my flaccid hangs longer. My flaccid is usually measuring anywhere from 3.75" to 4.25" lately (it was back down to 3.00" 2 months ago). If I turtle heavily, I just put on the golf weight ADS (I have only done this a few times so far). Sometimes I heat again to restore my flaccid.
If I cool my penis too much after a workout, it shrinks & turtles... I would think that allowing it to turtle could make me heal shorter. In contrast I've been thinking keeping it elongated will help it heal longer.
Yes congrats on your .5'' BPEL . Dang at this rate you will get your goal in no time. You must be riding the fatigue right keep doing it Blink2000.
If I go past +1" BPEL & keep gaining at a decent rate, then I can chalk it up to doing something right. Hopefully I'll be able to do that. For now, I know almost anything will give gains (since I'm recreating / regaining my newbie gains).
Cooldown: I did study the cooldown, I think most guys only do it when they are near an injury and they do an ice pack for 2 minutes or they take a cold swim. I never saw Remeks' routine, I wonder if he was one of those very rare PEers that actually do a cooldown.

I noticed all these supplements are making me heal faster than normal. I worked out hard yesterday & was healed today... a pleasant surprise.

I couldn't do my max weight, I was too sore today...
Routine:
7.5lbs, 5x 20 minute Sets
100 Kegels, Light Jelqs / some BTB Jelqs.
Split Set (6th set):
Missed it today (too much going on).

Wow man, quite a log you got here. Love your story in the beginning. Best of luck to you, noticed you already got some gains coming, right on man!
Hey Blink. I just started hanging. I was wondering how long you have been hanging for and how long it took you get up to your weight? I actually started hanging two days ago. I don't feel any fatigue afterwards but it is advised to wait a week before jumping in weight. When you say split set do you mean when you split a 20 minute set into two 10 minute ones?
Thank you both
This is all explained in my log. I started hanging in 2008.
About your other question:
Read hanging 101 to get started on hanging. Once you read that, let me know if you still have questions.

Blink's Extender
Blink's Extender
It's based on 2x recipes:
1-Advanced Homemade Extender (Slimguy )
2-The Captains Wench
3-And then I added a 3rd item: "Gold's Gym Waist Trimmer Belt". This item has velcro on it & can stick to itself. It almost feels like wetsuit material but much thinner and softer, with a rubbery sticky side & a softer cloth side.
I built #1, then replaced the noose with #2 (the captains wench). Then I just wrap with a strip of #3 then strap in with the wench.
I of course had to do a few other modifications. When I have time I'll test it & if it's worthwhile (it seems very comfortable so far!), I'll share it with everyone. Just a cheap, sort of easy stretcher.

Wow, what you did there with the extender idea...it's awesome.
I made a captn's wench and didn't even think how wonderful it would work connected to an extender!

Yeah, I think the wench is completely superior to a generic velcro strap. And it turned out, the captains wench was quite easy to make. It was easy to find the parts too.
The extender was hard though--there's a lot of drilling, cutting with a saw, and filing/sanding to smooth things out. I ended up buying the wrong kind of spring-- so this thing needs work still... I might wait until I fix a few issues (make it spring loaded, etc first) before I upload the picture.

Problem:
My dick was unsually sore after a new max weight about a week ago. I took a few rest days, but it just seemed I was getting extreme attachment point soreness. I just figured out today my back hexnut was very, very loose--and it turns out this was the culprit that sabotaged my hanging. The bad technique probably put me near injury, which is why I was compelled to take the rest days (or at least I was sore enough to find things at an intolerable risk level). There's no visible damage whatsoever; the only clue was that I was only able to hang a fraction of my normal weight. It seems today's hanging is spoiled by this also--since my first few sets were with settings that were creating a bit of a 'noose' effect & putting way too much pressure towards the front of my shaft. I wasn't getting lig soreness lately-- Anyway, its possible there's another cause; however, my best guess is that my rear hexnut was somehow loose for a while (I 'checked', but I guess my cursory inspection was not enough).
Cause:
The rear hexnut was loose, this created a noose effect & unusual pressure at the front of my shaft. Once I fixed this, my hanging weight went up (you can't see it since I don't show every set, but trust me on that).
Here's a summary of my routine lately:
22-Aug-10 6x sets, 9.5lbs max
23-Aug-10 6x sets, 7.5lbs max, (7lbs split set)
24-Aug-10 6x sets, 9lbs max
25-Aug-10 5x sets, 7.5lbs max
26-Aug-10 rest day
27-Aug-10 5x sets, 7.5lbs max
28-Aug-10 rest day
29-Aug-10 5x sets, 7.5lbs max
30-Aug-10 5x sets, 7.5lbs max
31-Aug-10 5x sets, 7.5lbs max
Normally, after a rest day, my max weight always increased. This was my first hint that something was wrong. On the bright side, the rest days pumped my EQ back up & I've had stronger morning wood lately. However, my morning wood EQ is still on the low side. (my normal erections are decent, but my morning wood is a bit weak). My morning wood appears to be on an upward trend at least.
Hopefully I'll get in my 6th split set today; I'm sure it will help gains so I'm going to try & be more consistent with my split sets.

I would love to know every component factor that affects morning wood. I notice fluctuations throughout any given month. I believe depth of sleep, food eaten, stress levels, what the next day demands are, days since last ejaculation & testosterone levels all play a role.
When I don't PE I don't get morning wood at all. I realized this after I came back to PE--I couldn't remember the last time I had morning wood. I think the supplements help too. I take the 5g's now among several other things (its in my 3rd post on the 1st page of this thread).
My morning wood came back with 2 factors
1-PE
2-supplements (thanks to kingpole & to you [Vulcan] for the advice you've given me on this)
Green tea (which had acai, blueberry & a few other things) with a little honey gave me morning wood the next day. Since then I've been taking supplements & the morning wood is becoming more & more frequent.
