Kegels

[chubguyfla]

When doing kegels which is more important to focus on, the amoubt you do or the amount of time you hold then. I have done some of both today quick 2 second holds and then some 5 seconds and definitely feel it as I hold it longer but is there any more benefit either way?

I'm totally new, but I would guess quality over quantity.+ Reply to Thread

Minuteman had a good conditioning routine in his DO guide

Wow there is alot of info in there. I do still have a few questions that I disnt see in there. What exactely is a reverse kegel as well as root locks and reverse root locks.

A back kegel is a root lock and a reverse root lock is back reverse kegel.

You can read more on reverse kegels here. https://www.pegym.com/forums/prematu...se-kegels.html

Ok I understand now thank you. So I did what was suggested ib the post. I did a regular kegal and pushed it through to a reverse kegal now I felt at the base like it says and as i pushed I didnt feel anything except the feel of relaxing from the kegal. Now am I doing this incorrectly or does this just mean that I need to work on my BC muscle (thats the correct one right). So my personal routine should start with primarily reverse kegals and add regular after awhile?

You're doing it right. Your ability and the "strength" in which you can do them will increase with time and conditioning.

If you have a lot of pelvic tension then yes. If not you can start a more balanced routine.

Now I might have missed it in post I read but how do you tell if you have pelvic tension.

Well I tried my first routine last night trying reverse kegels and I cant tell if I am doing them correctly. Now I feel a slight strain kinf of while doing them so Im guessing that I am actually doing them.
