@PEispossible not sure if I asked this already, but are you keeping heat on at all times even while hanging or any other routine? it's especially important you apply heat while hanging your 20 minute sets (I suggest sets dont' go any longer than that without a 2 minute rice sock warmup between). I didn't use a heater during my sets in the past which I regret, because it made my unit cold & made me more injury prone and I'm confident it hurt my gains too.
I got myself an infrared heater yesterday & plan to attach it to my ADS or hanger, so my penis stays warm the whole time (targeting 102 degrees to 110 farenheight... not lower or higher, but ideall targeting 105 to 106 because that's supposed to be great for softening collagen). Too hot results in necrosis, so avoid of course (I was reading infrared can burn - I'll see). I'm sharing more details on my thread.
Ive been playing with heat about four or five years. I ve mainly used a rice sock at first, or a hair dryer, then sometimes between sets could only reach the top and ligs, since the theraband covered a good portion of the penis. There really no further benefit after getting over a certain temperature, id say 105 is the max. With the Stealth vac hanger, I can do it before, like the sock hanger, Im not able to do it during because the silicon saber skin, can melt. Stealth does have a heating pad, and it doesnt get very hot. Not sure the temperature it gets, I think its enough.
When I learn the ads I can do that. I like to get up alot , except like if im tired, exhausted, after resistance exercise, so can do it while then, with the ads.
I forget the temperature but I thought it was 102-104, all that is needed to cause collagenous tissue, in the penis, to become more malable. Ive seen studies on the degree of temperature that causes this. Its been a few years and could research them but ive done sooooo much research while hanging over the past five years, I have much more going on, with work, bodybuilding, friendships.
Ive tried dmso solvent for a while and may revisit that sometime. It was only for maybe a month, as dmso has one negative and one positive studies on pyronies decease, where it helps break up scar tissue and causes penis to be straighter, something that I think could help since we are breaking soft tissue down . Am now using a msaage gun on and around different parts of this penis. It causes penis increased bloodflow and to hang more. So this is another tool experimenting with.. It sure feels good. Blister has improved faster than expected at one point, and still improving.
