Help with Quick extender pro (No gains)

[Ghost1987]

First off I’d like to say hey to everybody. I’ve been lurking this forum for awhile now and finally decided to create an account. Over time I’ve gained a good amount of knowledge, but still am a newbie to this and don’t consider myself an expert by no means. After all the reading I’ve done, I know I’ve made several mistakes and I’d like to tell you my story and see if anybody can give me some info on what I can do to make gains (if I can at all after doing the things I’ve done improperly)

So I first started in March of this year. During the adaptation period I’m aware I’m supposed to do 3 hours a day for the first 5 days to make a total of 15 hours then take a weekend off, add another .5 cm bar then do 6 hours a day for 5 days to make a total of 30 hours, add another .5cm bar then do 8 hours a day for 5 days, then from 3rd month on add a .5cm bar every 112 hours (according to qep instructions) so here’s what I did stupidly. I followed the first weeks instructions for 3 hours a day, then the second week I did 5 hours a day for only 4 days in a row (instead of 6 hours a day for 5 days in a row like the instructions said) then added the 3rd set of .5cm bars and did 6 hours first day, and 7 hours the next 3 days (instead of doing 8 hours a day for 5 straight days. Also my number one mistake was I wasn’t warming up this whole time. Then stupidly after I added the 3rd set of .5cm bars and had no others left I added a medium bar and put in over 200 hours for the next 2 months (which I found out a little while back wasn’t a good idea cuz I’m forcing too fast). Once again, no warming up either this entire time. I now know I am always supposed to warm up before any PE and to also not move up in bars so fast or increase tension too fast. I admit I was foolish and didn’t learn properly before I jumped into this. Is there any hope for me to turn this around and start getting gains or did I toughen up my ligaments and tunica too much and now it’s going to be impossible to gain from an extender? I’ve been extending now from march to august with no gains in length, but my girth is bigger so at least that’s something. I started warming up around 2 months ago and have been ever since. Hopefully you guys don’t insult me too bad, I know I was ignorant with this sh*t lol I also have a bib hanger for back up in case the extender won’t do it’s job. Please as much advice as to what I can do to get gains with the QEP I’d greatly appreciate it. I know a lot of you prefer hanging over extending but I really wanna stick to this as long as I can before switching over to hanging weights. Thanks in advance to any replies

Btw after the adaptation period I extended anywhere between 5-8 hours. Usually in one set. I haven’t gotten pain, redness, or any kind of discoloration the way some of you have from doing longer sets. Idk why. Sometimes I was Doing 2 sets (3 hours first set, 2-5 hours second set) and now I’m trying to do 4-6 hours (4 hours first set, 2 hours second set) my apologies for leaving my routine out from first post. I don’t manual stretch or jelq as both mess with my EQ and made my veins more bulgy. I dry jelqed and was doing side to side stretches. Now I just warm up 15 mins then get my sets in

 

[Ghost1987]

What a shame. I really thought you guys would be more helpful. Surprised not even one person responded with advice .

Hey Ghost, sometimes it takes guys a couple of days before they see new posts, so don't be too impatient.

So I have a few questions for you:

1. how many rods have you added since you first started?
2. are you a grower?
3. do you feel like you reach your max flaccis stretched length while you are extending?

 

[Ghost1987]

My apologies if I was impatient. I’m on my 4th set of .5 cm bars since I started. Not sure if I’m a grower or not as I don’t think i was doing this properly? So I can’t quite tell. And yes I feel I’m at my maxed stretched flaccid. When I take measurements I’m no bigger than when I started. Can medicine and regular masterbation prevent gains?

 

[Alex1988]

Have you tried pumping? It really helps relaxing the tissue and has many benefits regarding extending.

Other than making sure you warm up before or after extending I can recommened checking the bone pressed stretched flaccid length. It's a good way to see if your length routine is working.

I did, but it only gave me temporary gains. Not to mention from most of the reading I’ve done it’s mainly enlargement due to lymphatic fluid build up instead of actual new penile tissue (if I’m wrong then my apologies) I’m trying for everything to be permanent. Are either one of you able to answer any of my questions in my first two comments? I know it’s a lot of reading, but would’ve greatly appreciated. I’m just hoping I’m not gaining because I haven’t found an accurate way of doing things vs. not gaining because I ran into things incorrectly/too quickly and toughened my ligaments and tunica. Really trying to ride this out and get my gains from an extender vs hanging. I know it’ll take longer, but I’m patient and willing to wait before I decide to give my bib hanger a go. Thanks for the replies so far guys!

Last time. Can anybody answer the questions from my first two posts on this thread?

Don't overcomplicate things. If you want to gain from extending you need to stretch towards your bpfsl inside the extender. That number is always longer (about 1 cm+) than your bpel.

When you're inside the extender take a ruler and press until you reach your pubic bone. You then look for your bpfsl and setup the extender so that you reach that point or as close as possible.

Ghost, there are a number of reasons why you might not be seeing any length gains after extending since March. I'm pretty sure that masturbation does not prevent gains, I'm not sure if any medications could cause an issue.

Here are a couple more questions:
1. Are the tension rods/springs compressed at all while you are extending?
2. Do you remain completely flaccid while you are extending?
3. Do you take regular rest days from extending?

I've been hesitant to reply to your post. Why do you feel the need to stick with a device that's delivered no results? There's a very good reason why most guys prefer weight hanging over extending, and it's because Extenders are weak. Especially the ones that rely on straps or noose type attachments.
IMO Extenders have their place, but more as a supplement to weight hanging.

Weight hanging is safe, provided you are using the right type of equipment. I personally believe compression hanging devices are dangerous. When you want to stop bleeding from a serious wound on an extremity what do the EMT's do? They install a tourniquet. A compression clamp is nothing more than a glorified penis tourniquet. Which is precisely why it can only be worn for a very short time duration. They inhibit blood flow and can cause a variety of negative side effects.

Tissue necrosis, pain, redness of skin, swelling, numbness, nerve damage, excessive skin stretch and stretch marks.

I'm 2+ months in on the QEP. I kinda rushed into it as well here's what I've found. If your not getting morning woods...take 4 days off. If your finding that it gets harder to strap into during your sessions as time goes on your overtraining. I would rather extend one hour a day and relax my PF while watching tv than wear it at work while moving around just to get more hours in. I also change positions up and down and in the middle every 15 minutes. For me I'm finding it's more about the quality of time. Currently I'm doing 1-3 hours a day. I spent the last 2-3 weeks doing about 6 hours a day and I didn't notice a positive difference. If anything more on the negative side

low tension hasn’t done anything for me so I finally increased tension on the rods. They are compressed while I’m putting it on, then after I strap in I turn the rods/ I do remain flaccid while extending, sometimes my libido is crazy up the roof and I’m semi-erected almost th whole time/ I don’t take enough rest days. One day off here and there.

I know man, I would have loved to get your device. Just don’t have the money right now but when I do I’m going to definetely give yours a try. I’ve read nothing but positive things. And to answer your question of why I’ve stuck to something so long that hasn’t worked, I’ve been trying to have patience. Some guys have gained quicker with An extender, others slower. I just figured maybe I’m on the slower side or that I was doing something wrong, hence why I posted on here for someone more knowledgeable than myself to maybe point me in the right direction, tell me what I’m doing wrong, etc

my bpfsl by hand is about 7.3 inches. So you’re saying I need to at least be 7.3 inches long in the extender? In that case, I probably have to add another rod because I don’t think I’m that long in the extender, but I will get a ruler and measure. Thanks !!

Yes, you should be at your BPFSL while in the extender with some tension.

When I use our LGH Extender that has springs that are rated @ 10 lbs. of traction force with 1" of compression I get a right around 5/8" of additional flaccid stretch. The standard length of our threaded rods is 9 1/2", and if requested they can be made longer based on what you need. No need to continually add rods.

And we've added a hook to the spring bar so that you don't need to swap out the attachment hook on your LGH chamber.

sounds great. How have your gains been with this device? Like how fast did you or others generally start noticing gains? I’m satisfied with my girth and width, would still like to be a little more girthy and have more width but my main goal is lengthening my penis

The PE gains I made using the LG Hanger was combined with aggressive hand stretching / jelqing and pumping and it took me approx. 4 years. I've gained 2 3/8" of erect length, and 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" of erect girth depending on area of shaft being measured.

I started to notice a measurable gain after 3 months of dedicated training. The road to a multi-inch gain takes time and dedication. I know I've repeated this countless times, but since it looks like you're a new member to the forum it's worth repeating..... PE is a marathon and not a sprint! Anyone who suggests that making a multi-inch gain is fast and easy is lying. I challenge anyone who says differently to prove it with time dated before and after photos.
