“Shrinkage” at the gym

[SBT0001]

Does anyone have any tips to avoid the “shrinkage” look after working out? I feel like the other guys in the locker room have these big low hanging softies when they get in the shower, and mine looks all small and shriveled up.
Any supplements or pre workout that you know of can help with this?

Sounds pretty normal to me, we all shrink during exercise. What a lot of people do is grab their penis and give it a little pull when nobody is looking to liven things up. I no longer care, I just get on with it, strip off and shower.

Been there, just pull on it if self conscious and let it do what it will do. Be comfy with yourself, other guys will take note no matter who you are if they are mature

Agreed just fluff it up a little. All guys do it; no one will think it's weird. Give it a few tugs, roll your foreskin back and forth a few times if you have it. You'll get a decent hang.

That said, all guys know what shrinkage is and know not to judge a guy for his size when he's soft - especially when he's cold or just after a workout. As fun as it is to chill naked with your friends with big softies, it's a sign of true friendship to see each other with full on shrinkage. Takes top level confidence for that.

are you sufficiently cooling down after you work out? if you've worked out hard, give your self a solid 30 minutes before getting in the shower to just stretch, get your heart rate lowered and the blood flowing to everywhere again. i notice the same thing happens to me as well if i wait a bit before getting in the shower there's a noticeable difference.

Mine never looks impressive after my workout going into the shower. Coming out of the shower is a totally different story as my muscles are more relaxed. My balls look fuller and my cock looks more impressive.

I usually shrink up quite a bit during my workouts. Doesn’t matter if I free ball or where underwear. Usually have to do a few good tugs in the shower and sauna to get back to my normal hang.

Same here guys... after all that blood flow is in my muscles my cock and balls are embarrassingly shriveled. A warm shower with some tugging and jelq like squeezes and it's usually back to a decent softy.

You just gotta have a big one like some of us hahaha

I always assume that anyone who spends this much time bragging about their dick size has a tiny dick.

Here I am displaying some serious shrinkage after a

swim

Right after a hard workout, my cock is shrieked and my balls are tight.
When I go right in to the sauna after working out, my cock and balls are almost only half the size they’re usually when flaccid.
After warming up and relaxing in the sauna, they go back to a plumper, bigger and lower hanging stage …

anyone recognised that cocks and balls always look so much better in the sauna … when theyre plump, soft/semi, juicy and hang low

It's funny, I've always found it was the opposite. When I get undressed right after working out I find my dick looks a bit bigger and my balls hang way lower. Always put it down to me getting hot while exercising.

The real solution is an acceptance that the normal activity after a workout is a jackoff session: in the sauna, steamroom, locker room, alone or with another dude or several. If that were the societal norm, issues of "shrinkage" would, like the penises we're talking about, disappear.

I found this online:
“It all has to do with blood flow,” Richard Honaker, MD, chief medical officer at Your Doctors Online, tells Fatherly. “When working out, the body sends blood to the muscles and joints, thus reducing the amount to the penis and scrotum. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to do to prevent it.”

I've had some luck remaining thick(ish) by edging before my workout, then putting on a cocking or oxballs sleeve. I also lift while looking at "research" (discretely, of course).

THANKS for that link! I'm going to buy one ASAP.

I can't imagine putting this much work into something meaningless.

If its meaningless to you, then you're in the wrong thread

 

[onenuttertoo]

A lot of guys just give it a couple of tugs/stretches...keep an eye out. It usually works.

we all shrink during exercise: Not me. My cock actually gets bigger. Of course, that's because I use it to do that rope sinusoid exercise instead of an actual rope.

 

[opinionman]

Umm I’m sorry what!? Haha never heard of that

I guess it's called 'battle ropes.' Here it is:

I do this with my penis. No shrinkage for me. It's tough to find another guys with a 20 footer, but when I do, we do a lot of this exercise for stamina...

 

[opinionman]

Well, there certainly WAS a load in my bollocks. Are you telling me you don't believe I have a 20-foot dick that I use to work out??

Well that is a complete load of bollocks
