How long can ye hold yer kegel, ye Lubber?

[rbi99]

Yeah, me too. To me I would equate kegels to working the rotator cuff muscles, no need to high reps and "heavy weight" so to say. Activate the muscles and be doen with them. I do 100 kegels and 100 reverse kegels, 5 seconds each 4-5 times a week.

Can you explain how you arrived at your opinion? I agree that over kill is unnecessary, but only doing five second holds seems to me to be too short a hold time. I have a progressive routine I do a couple times a week, and it ends with my last hold being for a minute or so. One of the goals (after all we aren't here to discover new forms of atoms) I have is to be able to shoot my load harder and farther. If my pc muscle can only hold for five seconds max, and I try to do a strong kegel, how much force will it create? By working that muscle progressively up the holding ladder, when it comes time to create one really strong kegel (at the PONR), the force will be substantial.

The kegel strength required for mmo, is not that massive, if you have good skill, certainly no need for i minute kegals for that. However it may have other benifits.

Bump.

30 minutes? One kegel?

I can do more than a minute, maybe approaching 2.
