Q. Good morning brother! Just wanted to get your opinion on an anti-turtle sleeve…

…as a way of keeping the penis from turtling during the day (especially during activities that would activate the flight or flight response like the gym). Would it help heal from the exercises in an elongated state?

Thank you so much brother!

Al: You’re most welcome!

The healing in the elongated state theory may have some merit, but I’ve found it doesn’t work well when you’re training using higher intensity methods AND challenging yourself each session with them. What most often happens is applying a sleeve like this usually induces overtraining.

The sleeve does work well in instances where one is:

· Using lower intensity methods of training (e.g.- extending)

· Training under capacity with the main routine

· Used intermittently to prevent turtling

· As a stand alone

Q. I’m looking at ways to minimize turtling.

While I looked at the Biker’s Passive Stretcher, I wanted to try something different so I don’t cause any constriction. What do you thing of sleeves?

Al: Much will depend on the cause and extent of your turtling.

The BPS is light, and the band should not be constricting. The alternative is to use a sleeve type device- e.g.: DuroSleev SiliSleev – Durable Silicone Penis Sleeve. Another alternative is to perform exercises like JAI Stretches or even Leg Tuck Pulls– in moderation and as needed.

Q. I’ve noticed when I run or workout in the gym my penis seems to shrivel up!…

…Is this turtling normal? Is there something I should be doing to counter this?

Big Al: It’s typical to note a temporary retraction of the penis during intensive physical exercise. This is a completely normal phenomenon as blood is drawn to the extremities during intensive exercise. During physical training it wouldn’t be feasible to do anything to counter this, but a light stretching or jelqing session- or even a hot soak performed immediately after your physical training should help to restore penile circulation.

Turtling may also be aggravate by stimulant use. If you use strong stimulants prior to your physical training workout this may contribute to the phenomenon- even well after your session has ended.

Q. I recently started your Jelq Free routine doing the minimum number of reps recommended. I’ve been using my ADS after training…

…but I appear to be more fatigued than ever! Can you recommend something different for my training so I don’t get so fatigued?

Big Al: Unless one has extreme turtling or are employing an All Day Stretcher (ADS) as the mainstay of a routine- or one is extremely advanced/condition and can benefit from a relatively large training load, a workout should be taxing enough to allow for full rest after a session.

Even if passive, an ADS can push one into overtraining if they’re already training at their limit. I suggest spending a few weeks establishing a baseline with the Jelq Free routine as is. If you still feel you can use a greater challenge then you have several options:

  • Accelerate the rate of rep increases per session or
  • Switch to more intense exercises or
  • Increase the frequency of your training (add more training days per week) or
  • Implement the ADS
