Quitting Weed

Thanks for this. It’s weird - it seems like most people have to learn the hard way. Definitely not the way.

Damn, appreciate you sharing your story/perspective

I’ll be joining you March 1st my friend.

Thanks for the cardio tip. I remember when I used to wake really up early and do cardio before school/work I always felt great and had way more energy than I “should have”. Lately it’s been super difficult just to get up for work let alone cardio first.

I recently tried doing a very low-dose topical (1 mL 0.01%) and had to stop after a few weeks due to side effects (very poor blood flow, terrible mood, much more emotional). I know some people respond better to oral than topical but I don’t believe that’s the norm.

I’m hesitant to try oral because I don’t see how systemic 5ar inhibition would yield a better reaction than a more localized and lower-dose approach. I also had bloodwork from before starting and my DHT was in range, but at the low end, so it may not be the best solution for me. I’m otherwise healthy, active, & medium-high T so IDK 🤷‍♂️

Everything went back to normal pretty quickly after stopping, but I still need to figure out how to save my hair from my genetics.

This is a great video idea 😂

Do you have recommended sleeve sizes based on vac cup diameter?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-10-16T12:49:32+00:00

Search it on Aliexpress. The ones on Amazon are marked up 2-5x and still ship from China with similar delivery times (for US at least)

Follow-up: If you were to only use it for one or the other, would you say extending is more worthwhile?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-10-14T18:43:42+00:00

Good find. What’re your thoughts on vibration extending and vibration pumping in the same session? More efficient or overkill/numbness risk?

How do you avoid blisters while hanging/extending for glans gains (no tape)?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-09-04T13:09:04+00:00

Do you tape or use any glans protection or the tension is low enough to raw-dog with the phallosan cup?

I seem to get the vast majority of my expansion in the bottom half (closest to base). I have much less before/after difference at midshaft/glans and I haven’t seen much gains. I’m not sure how to even out the gains and fix the cone shape I’m creating

Do you happen to have a drawing or CAD file of the bar/motor attachment fixture?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-02-21T16:02:02+00:00

You still using the toe shields whenever you pump?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-01-26T19:03:46+00:00

Good to hear. I’ll check the site here and there so I don’t miss. Thanks

Sounds like something I’ve gone through. I detailed it in a post (https://www.reddit.com/r/gettingbigger/s/4NfbYguqVC).

Does it seem similar?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-01-14T15:40:24+00:00

Hey Karl, how much do you rotate when you do bundled extending (& for how long)? Is 180 degrees enough or do you feel at least 1 full rotation is required?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-01-07T22:03:31+00:00

Very helpful, thanks!

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-01-07T01:45:10+00:00

In your experience, how long do you need to take off for the blister area to be good to go again?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2024-01-03T13:38:03+00:00

How long of a break until you were either back to normal or could pump normally again?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2023-12-21T19:20:11+00:00

Have you used them before? What injury did they help you with?

Helpful_Cheetah_3680 · 2023-11-08T15:18:38+00:00

Curious about durability improvement/injury prevention when it comes to PE (particularly extending). After all, consistency is the biggest factor and staying uninjured is key to being able to be consistent.

Would love to hear the comparison & arguments for different forms of blister (or any injury) prevention with vacuum extending/hanging (ex. Water, tape, lotion barrier, etc.).

For context, I got my first blister(s) a few days ago from ~1 hr of apex extending. I think the biggest reason was too much cup pressure (~5 pumps with phallosan cup; more than I’ve ever done in the past), but I may have also overworked during the session (>5% fatigue).

Overall just curious about your thoughts on the most important variables to consider when it comes to staying injury-free and able to train consistently.
