Just got a X4, Need advice on how to use it right.

So first off I am new here and this is the first time I'v ever got an extender. Thing is I have no idea what size rods to use, how tight the straps should be, how long I should have it on and how many times a week I should use it. I'd like to come up with some kind of stretching schedule but have no idea where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should have it on so it feels comfortable, shouldn't be any pain in using it, I also think you should use it daily for atleast 6 hours a day, the more the better ofc.
Not 100% sure about the everyday thing but it should be used for ~8 hours the days you use it. But if i recall correctly you use it everyday.

I plan to use it as much as I can, taking at least one day off. I just got it today so am still doing a bit of learning and figuring out what will work for me.

Thanks Dangler. I'll check that out and see if it helps. Do you have any tips for a good schedule to keep track on?

probably best to build up your wearing times, over ~ 60 day period, to be safe & get accustomed to it.

So there is not really a limit to how much you wear it? I assume the more the uses it the faster you will see gains.

pain is a limiting factor.
rest days are when the penis does its growing/healing.
you ought to consider learning the grams feature of the x4. 500 to about 1000 gms. too much & you'll hinder things.

I would say to use low tension in the beginning as suggested by Dangler, too much and the sessions end quick and the goal is TIME under tension. I would say try to wear it for an hour at a time and expect only two or three times a day at first as it is not as simple as just strapping in and going for hours. It takes a few times, some trial and error but if you spend the first week or two trying a few small changes you will get the hang quickly.

Ya I'm confused on how the traction thing works, I see the little notches but it never stay's at one I push it down to the one I want then strap in and it extends most of the way up, not sure if that is what is meant to happen or not.

That means that you need to tighten it with the adjuster nuts on each side if I am understanding you correctly. You are saying that it springs out longer after you get it on?

[Rambus Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Rambus]

Ya basically I press it down to lets say the second line, and then tighten it. After I do that it just extends to the full spring length. So do you adjust those after it is on then?

Ya it looks like that might have been the issue, I was thinking those where more for advanced stuff, sounds like you need to dial it in every time you use it.
