This Study Changed My Entire Enlargement Strategy

TLDR;

This video discusses a research paper on collagen production and its implications for penile enlargement (PE) exercises. It covers topics such as the optimal frequency and duration of stretching, the impact of high versus low tension, and considerations for all-day stretchers. The key takeaway is that understanding collagen stimulation is crucial for maximizing gains and preventing potential setbacks in PE routines.

• Multiple PE sessions a day with more than 6 hours apart may increase collagen production, which is bad for penile enlargement.
• Shorter intervals with breaks may be better than longer sets.
• All-day stretching may be beneficial because collagen production peaks after 10 minutes anyway.

Introduction [0:00]

The video introduces a research paper with significant implications for penile enlargement (PE) routines. The paper's findings are relevant to the frequency of PE sessions (once vs. twice a day), the timing between exercises, the tension levels used (high vs. low), and the effectiveness of different exercise types. The presenter encourages viewers to read the paper, which is linked in the description, to fully grasp its importance.

The Importance of the Paper [0:05]

The presenter emphasizes the importance of understanding collagen production in the context of penile enlargement. The tunica albuginea, a thick fiber sheath inside the penis, is the rate-limiting step for enlargement. Stimulating additional collagen in this area is detrimental because it makes the tunica less flexible and harder to stretch, hindering potential gains.

Overview of the Study [0:50]

The study involved growing lab-created collagen particulates called "senu" and exposing them to different stretch stimuli. Researchers aimed to identify which stimuli led to the highest collagen production through the ERK1/2 pathway, which stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen. The setup allowed precise control over mechanical stretch stimuli to observe specific responses.

Implications for All-Day Stretchers [0:50]

The presenter discusses whether the research translates to PE, emphasizing the importance of collagen for tunica albuginea. He suggests that the ERK1/2 pathway responds similarly across different types of fibroblast-stimulating activities. Therefore, it's reasonable to extrapolate the study's findings to PE, with caution.

Importance of Collagen [1:29]

The presenter stresses the importance of understanding collagen in the context of penile enlargement. He references a previous video explaining collagen's role as a fundamental building block for enlargement. He notes that collagen stimulation is generally bad for enlargement because it reduces the tunica's ability to stretch.

The Research and its Relevance [2:10]

The presenter discusses whether the research translates to PE, emphasizing the importance of collagen for tunica albuginea. He suggests that the ERK1/2 pathway responds similarly across different types of fibroblast-stimulating activities. Therefore, it's reasonable to extrapolate the study's findings to PE, with caution.

Important Takeaways from the Study [3:17]

The study found that short bursts of stretching (10 minutes) with a 6-hour break in between lead to higher rates of collagen stimulus compared to continuous stretching. This implies that multiple sessions a day, spaced more than 6 hours apart, may be worse for collagen production, potentially limiting long-term gains. The receptors that respond to stretch stimulus and produce collagen reset almost completely after 6 hours.

Final Takeaways and Recommendations [4:00]

The presenter suggests that if doing twice-a-day PE, sessions should be within 2-3 hours of each other, but at the very least within 6 hours. After 6 hours collagen levels start to increase again. This is because collagen levels start to increase again after about 3 hours.

High Tension vs Low Tension [6:14]

The study suggests that using too much tension during stretching can be detrimental to collagen health. Stretching at very high tensions (10-15%) can tear down collagen, leading to injury. While the applicability to PE stretching is uncertain, it's generally agreed that tearing collagen can cause fibrosis and scarring.

Duration of Stretching [7:18]

Collagen production peaks at around the 10-minute mark during stretching, with diminishing returns afterward. This can be interpreted in two ways: either continue stretching for longer once you've reached 10 minutes, or limit sets to less than 10 minutes to prevent peak collagen response. The presenter also wonders if shorter intervals with resets might reduce collagen production.

All Day Stretchers [10:28]

For all-day stretchers, the presenter suggests that since collagen production peaks after 10 minutes anyway, maintaining a continuous stretch might be beneficial. This could provide the benefits of stretching the tunica without repeated mechanical signals to produce more collagen.

Most important Takeaways [11:35]

The worst thing for collagen stimulation is doing 10-minute intervals of stretching over 6 hours apart. If doing a twice-a-day approach, try to get all PE done within 3 hours, or at most 6 hours, to prevent the resetting of collagen stimulus receptors. Keep set times short, especially with pumping (5 minutes or less), and try to keep any stretch for less than 10 minutes.

Conclusion [13:25]

The presenter acknowledges the limitations of directly applying the study's findings to PE and encourages viewers to share their interpretations. He highlights the importance of considering collagen production and offers his Safeguard supplement for those concerned about collagen deposition and extracellular matrix strengthening. He also promotes his Vigor and Fortitude products for erection quality and libido.
