Ok, so I have been deep diving into what promotes the bodies best response to Penile Traction Therapy. By going through as much clinical data as I could find (including other traction therapies), I have come across the following (I used ChatGPT to better arrange and articulate things):
High Testosterone (and robust DHT conversion)
Systemic effects
PTTβspecific advantage
VOβ max > 50 mL/kg/min (elite cardiovascular fitness)
Systemic effects
PTTβspecific advantage
Resting Heart Rate β€ 55 bpm
Systemic effects
PTTβspecific advantage
Blood Pressure < 120/80 mmHg
Systemic effects
PTTβspecific advantage
Synergy: Why All Four Together Are a Force Multiplier
When you combine highβnormal androgens with elite cardiovascular delivery, low autonomic stress load, and pristine vascular health, you create:
Based on what I have discovered, I am probably going to place a focus on a good amount of cardio with a few high intensity sessions a week to increase VO2 max. Pretty sure my Blood Pressure is ok, but I will need to get a blood test to check my Testosterone (and DHT) levels. Not keen on going on TRT though. But I guess there are other ways to boost Testosterone, at least a bit. I am pretty sure resistance training helps too. I don't think the resting Heart Rate needs to be under 55, that is just what I will be aiming at. I am pretty sure low 60's is very good.
I am very interested if anyone else knows of anything a bloke can do in order to improve his chances of success in gaining especially long term.

High Testosterone (and robust DHT conversion)Systemic effects
- β Collagen turnover β testosterone stimulates fibroblasts, speeding the breakdown/reβsynthesis cycle that traction exploits.
- β Protein synthesis β faster repair of microβtears into a lengthened configuration.
- β Nitric oxide synthase activity β better endothelial function and angiogenesis in penile tissue.
- β Erectile quality β strong postβsession erections keep tissues perfused, preventing fibrosis.
- β Androgen receptor activation in penile tissues β amplifies the remodeling signal from mechanical load.
PTTβspecific advantage
- Faster adaptation to progressive tension.
- Higher ceiling before plateau.
- Shorter recovery windows between highβtension cycles.
VOβ max > 50 mL/kg/min (elite cardiovascular fitness)Systemic effects
- β Oxygen delivery β high stroke volume and capillary density feed tractionβstressed tissues.
- β Mitochondrial efficiency β better ATP supply for repair processes.
- β Waste clearance β faster removal of metabolites that can slow recovery.
- β Hormonal synergy β endurance capacity correlates with better insulin sensitivity and lower chronic inflammation, both of which protect androgen output.
PTTβspecific advantage
- Tunica and smooth muscle cells recover faster between sessions.
- Can tolerate higher training frequency without overuse injury.
- Maintains tissue elasticity over multiβyear protocols.
Resting Heart Rate β€ 55 bpmSystemic effects
- Marker of parasympathetic dominance β lower baseline stress hormones (cortisol, adrenaline) that can blunt testosterone production.
- β Stroke volume β more blood per beat, improving penile perfusion even at rest.
- β Recovery capacity β autonomic balance supports deep sleep and growth hormone release.
PTTβspecific advantage
- Better baseline penile blood flow β tissues stay oxygenated between traction bouts.
- Lower systemic stress β hormonal environment stays anabolic.
Blood Pressure < 120/80 mmHgSystemic effects
- Healthy endothelial function β arteries and arterioles dilate efficiently.
- β Risk of microvascular damage β preserves penile hemodynamics longβterm.
- Supports optimal kidney and adrenal function, indirectly stabilizing hormonal balance.
PTTβspecific advantage
- Strong, responsive penile vasculature β better expansion during and after traction.
- Reduced risk of vascular injury from adjunct methods (e.g., pumping, heat).
Synergy: Why All Four Together Are a Force MultiplierWhen you combine highβnormal androgens with elite cardiovascular delivery, low autonomic stress load, and pristine vascular health, you create:
- A highβoctane repair environment β collagen and elastin turnover is rapid, and the βnew lengthβ is locked in before recoil can occur.
- Continuous perfusion β oxygen and nutrients are never limiting factors in tissue remodeling.
- Plateau resistance β hormonal and vascular support delay the adaptive slowdown most men hit after 12β18 months.
- Higher safe workload β you can run more aggressive tension cycles without tipping into overtraining or injury.
