Confusion with Reverse Kegels

[Jm123]

Another tip on reverse kegels, is that you may feel slightly light-headed when engaging it properly. This is due to the reduction in BP to the head r/t to the increase in volume in the abdomen.

What you're describing is a back reverse kegel, You might find it hard to begin with but you can do them while breathing, it just takes practice. In the meantime instead of doing them while continuing to breath, Do a reverse kegel on your IN breath and then relax on your OUT breath.

Don't worry about your abs as long as you're NOT straining yourself.

You can also do a front reverse kegel which is described in the OP.

You might also find this exercise of interest. https://www.pegym.com/forums/prematu...se-kegels.html

Ahh, I thought I was doing a front one. I think I want to do a front one, you say they're usually the ones out of whack. I've been doing jp90 a bit and in that it involved kegels but no reverse, so I want to correct this imbalance.

So, I understand everything except point 3.

"Focus on pushing out the muscle at the base of your penis (where your penis meets your body) while keeping the rest of the pelvic area as relaxed as possible. It can help to visualize the muscle expand like a balloon. This can cause your penis fill with blood giving you a flushed flaccid."

"The muscle at the base of your penis", is this under / near your balls? Or do you mean above (as if you were looking down).. Just so I understand this better, Is it A, B, C, or D on this diagram? delete insta.jpg

Thanks! I always thought I was doing something wrong to feel light headed.

D. It's the muscle (BC muscle) that wraps around the inner part of the penis (the bulb).

It's the same action as when you take a piss.

If you think your pelvic floor is out off balance you should read up on this for a better understanding. https://www.pegym.com/forums/prematu...r-balance.html

Hi, two questions I have only been doing normal kegels and I feel tension around my groin area(focused too much on normal kegels?) and think this would help balance it, is this correct? and what I currently do is : force the pee out kegel(front reverse kegel?) and stop pee midstream kegel(unsure of correct term) I do 50/50 % of each. Should i add back reverse kegel and focus mainly on reverse kegels for a while to balance things out? if not please tell me.
Thanks

i got a question, so when i front RK, my lower abs tense up no matter how light the RK feels. and my breathing is a bit more segmented, not in a normal breathing flow if you know what i mean. also sometimes i accidentally fart.

am im doing front RK right?

thankyou for ur guy's advice!

Stoping pee is a way of finding the muscle but not recomended long term.
James this is normal and should improve with practise.

What you're doing know sounds fine but I would also do pelvic stretches to help with the tension. Basically target your reverse kegels where you feel the tension.

That's fine as long as you're not straining.

For those of you who seem to have the RK figured out well, do you feel like you could easily last as long as you want no matter how intense the feeling is?
