Male Edge Tension Problem :(

[teejaytorres]

Hi guys, fairly new to this forum. Hopefully someone can help me, I've bought the Male Edge Pro Extender and have been having problems trying to apply tension. When ever I put on the device and push the side rods forwards (away from my body) to hopefully apply tension, the tension bars at the transparent part always go back to no tension at all. I find that tension stays when I make one side rod go to a higher level than the other (i.e. imbalanced side rods) please help

If you can't get any tension at all then that means you will need to add longer rods to the device to give yourself a proper stretch that actually starts to create tension.

Ok do you know how do I go about doing that? As nothing is stated in the website about adding longer rods?

It doesn't use rods?
Then it must be pretty darn adjustable, so when you adjust it to the max while you are strapped it it doesn't show that their's any tension at all?
You watched the videos and all?

Teejay.............. check my threads and pics, u wont get full tension pushing rods with thumbs, its a knack to adjusting for full tension, three hands would be nice!!! Simply hold cradle with one hand whilst strapped in and with finger (from same hand) push rod down(from top underside) at same time as pulling crading away from rod with other hand SLOWLY.......then push down and relocate SIMPLES!!!

This was only way i could adjust............. Be careful though coz the plastic doesnt like full tension after while and can easily snap!! Especially adjusting one side at a time and loading rods unevenly. Mine is now modified and stronger (see pics) Mine is set up so full tension is on last notch of rod (the red adjuster) but cradle sits 3rd notch up!! needs to be set up so when you first strap in your applying 1600-2000 tension, if you strap in all floppy and absolute no tension then your run out of rod notches before good tension applied but all to do with set up!!

I hope you understand coz i get your frustration!! soo........ move the cradle up the notches by pushing down rod NOT like Male Edge suggests...... fitting cradle then pushing rods up with thumbs!! your never get much tension as your thumbs are trying to overcome force you are applying to try and stretch and you thumbs get numb and it hurts!!!
