How hard is the squeeze on a Jelq?

My wet jelqs feel good, but I'm afraid to be squeezing too hard, in case that's harmful. On a proper Jelq, if it was a chicken's neck, would the chicken like it, or would the chicken die?

Haha the chicken would love it - use a light grip, just enough to manipulate the blood and tissue. All a harder grip is gonna do is cause damage and will probably make gains harder to get.

Also, don't jelq the head, although I'm sure you know that.

Luke, for ages I have been trying to find a scale for jelqing grip hardness. Yours is great idea lol.

Don't ever choke your chicken! I like the egg theory. If you're squeezing hard enough to where you would crack an egg, then you are probably squeezing too hard.
