Extender tension

**jayjefferson33** · 08-25-2016

Sizegenetics comes with max tension of upto 2800gms
Not sure how much for PMP and PF anyone?

Also i read somewhere that the tension for penis to grow is 400-1100gms is that true?

also has anyone used SG or X4 at max tension?? what are your gains like?

Start off with low tension and work your way up.

Why would you want to apply max tension immediately ? Be PATIENT.

I am getting gains from using my Andropenis Extender. I have made gains in flaccid length as well as BPFSL.

I have been using a 4X Labs for over five years and have rarely. If ever, exceeded 1,000 gr. I try to maintain the tension in the 800 to 1000 range.

whats the point of having the option of an extender which offers 2000gms + tension , when most growth happens between the 400-1100gms range is beyond my comprehension

Where did you get this idea from?

My $.02:

- An extender at 1100 grams is about 2.5 lbs of tension. This is much higher than you would get with a belt in most circumstances.

- The extender is great at 2lb to 2.5lbs of force, as it is much higher than a belt, but low enough to still clock some serious hours.

- If you are looking for more than 2.5lbs of force, then it is much better to go the hanging route, such as the LG Hanger.

- IF you did ACTUALLY get 2000 grams of force (or even 3000 grams of force) like some extenders say they are capable of, then you are applying 4.4lbs to 6.6lbs of force in a steel rod stretcher mechanism. At this point, much safer to just hang and know what you are dealing with.

- I cringe at the thought of having an extender set to over 5lbs of force that could be subject to extreme changes in force applied to the penis by simply bending the wrong way (because the steel rack won't bend...but your dick will bear the brunt!)
