My variation on this
My variation on this
Hello all, first post here after doing a lot of reading from everyone. Great site and has shown me the importance of things I hadn't considered before. Been doing some sort of PE for a while now but never had a routine or schedule which I see here is a major part of hoping for gains. This stretch intrigued me so I started adding these for 2 days on and 1 off and ended up with a slight variation as a result of my hands being tired from work that day. Basically it combines a couple things into the stretch but I felt like I'd gotten more of a "workout" afterwards than before.
As far as an overall routine I've got about a 10 minute warmup, but I usually don't time it and go by feel instead. I replaced a couple other movements and do these just prior to 10 minutes of wet Jelging followed by two 5 minute clamps. I also squeeze the PC muscle for sets of 20 to 30 off and on during the entire routine.
I use an reverse OK grip (palm out). I twist my shaft opposite the working hand, so if using the right hand I twist clockwise and if using the left I twist counter-clockwise. I'll try to explain this so it's easy to understand.
For me being seated and slightly reclined works best. Start with either hand. Make the desired number of twists and then grip just below the glans with a reverse grip so your thumb should be on the bottom of the grip. Stretch downward and hold for a slow count of 10, then without rotating your wrist at all pull up towards your belly button which will then fold your shaft over your thumb turning the stretch into a flaccid bend right about the point where the twist is most prominent. Hold for another slow count of 10. That is one count...repeat. I'll do a set of 5, then do the same thing from left to right. When doing the move left to right again you will notice that as you push your hand towards the side of the body opposite the working hand it will force the shaft to bend over the thumb again creating a flaccid bend.
After you perform a set of 5 up and down, 5 left and right, change hands...reverse the twist and repeat. I've also experimented with grip placement farther down the shaft which seems to help move the key part of the twist to different areas. I started with two sets of 5 with each hand, and will add another set next week. I absolutely love the feeling of stretch I get from these that I hadn't felt from most other movements.
Short term, after two rotations of doing these I've got about a .3" increase in girth and .2" in length measuring from a cold stretch with a definitely heavier flaccid hang. The thing I like the most is the day after I can "feel" that I've done something which I didn't feel very often before.
I hope this adds something worthwhile here, and appreciate the stories and suggestions from all.
