The widely cited "2% elongation" rule for penis growth is a theoretical starting point derived from soft tissue science, not a guaranteed biological law, and individual results vary significantly due to physiological and hormonal factors.

A lot of the time on the internet, we'll
hear recommendations that are either
prescriptive, that is people telling you
exactly what to do, or descriptive,
which is explaining a concept or a
governing idea. This is the difference
between science and practice. The
difference between science and practice
is that science is a concept. It's a
group of governing ideas. And ideally,
what we try to do is we try to apply
principles from those governing ideas,
but they're not the same thing. One of
the big principles that I've seen grow
in popularity over the last few years is
the idea of 2% elongation. The idea of
2% elongation basically says that if you
have a difference of 2% or more between
your preession length and your post
session length that you will grow. We
need to understand this is a theory, not
actually a law. We need to make this
distinction because I've seen too many
times guys go online and complain that
they're hitting 2% elongation and just
not growing. I've also seen it
personally in guys that I coach that
guys will hit anywhere from 1% to 5% and
either grow or not grow. So the big
concept that I'm trying to convey here
is that 2% is not a hard and fast rule.
It's not something that guarantees
you're going to grow if you hit it. What
it is is a starting point based on the
clinical data that we have on
deformation of soft tissues over time.
That is to say that in most collagenrich
tissues when you see a deformation of 2%
you will typically see that translate
into long-term changes in the tissue. A
lot of this information comes to us from
the postsurgery world where we look at
things like postsurgery outcomes based
on ACL tears, bicep tears, and things
like that. We basically know that in
order to create new length or to restore
previous length that causing a
difference of 2% or more in those
tissues tends to provide us with
results. Now, here's why that's not a
hard and fast rule because the fact of
the matter is it hasn't actually been
tested in penis enlargement. So while it
is a prevailing theory and it does seem
to have a lot of anecdotal evidence to
actually support it, what we need to
understand is that it's a starting point
and not the end all beall in terms of a
law where if you hit 2% you will in fact
grow. Here's the takeaway from this. If
you are hitting 2% and not growing, it
is simply because 2% elongation is not
enough for you and your body. I have had
coaching clients who have consistently
hit 1% elongation and we track their
bone press stretch flaccid length over
the course of weeks or months and have
seen them grow. Conversely, I've had
coaching clients who have hit as high as
5% elongation and not grown at all. This
is where we need to break things down.
Individual variations between collagen
and elastin distribution do actually
play a role in this. When it comes to
penis enlargement, some men are
naturally more flexible like who is able
to do almost a full split weighing
nearly 300 lb at times. Typically, when
we study people like myself, we find
that we tend to have more elastin in our
connective tissues. Then there are
people on the opposite end of the
spectrum who are like the tin man and it
seems like no matter how much they
stretch, they're just always bound up
and matted down. These people, when we
tend to do biopsies on them, show that
they have lower levels of elastin.
There's also a hormonal and central
nervous system component to this. There
is a hormone that your body creates
called relaxin. And relaxin actually
biases your soft tissue like your
tendons and ligaments to be more supple,
more hydrated, and more readily
flexible. One of relaxin's primary jobs
in biology is in women who are pregnant.
We tend to see their levels of relaxin
spike and continue to elevate until they
ultimately give birth. What this hormone
is doing is getting a woman's body ready
to go through some major changes and
adaptation. Similarly, the amount of
relaxing that one person produces to the
next is variable. Additionally, there is
a central nervous system component to
this as well. People that are highly
stressed or engaging in their
sympathetic nervous system, that is our
fight, flight or freeze nervous system,
tend to have systemically elevated tonus
when it comes to muscle length and their
ability to express mobility and
flexibility. Conversely, people who
spend a lot of time in their
parasympathetic nervous system, which is
our rest, digest, recover nervous
system, tend to have lower tonises and
they tend to have greater yields when it
comes to efforts involving them
expressing mobility and flexibility. So,
this is meant to be a short video and I
do plan to go back and revisit this
topic a little bit more, but I wanted to
get this information out there because
it has become so prevalent to me,
especially since I've been coaching
guys, that we need to sort of have a
paradigm shift and treat 2% as a goal
rather than something like a biological
law or a promise of gains. What's the
practical application of this? Well, the
practical application of it is if you
are only hitting 1% and you just can't
seem to hit 2% no matter what you do,
don't focus on the percentage so much as
track your bone press stretch flaccid
length to make sure that you are
actually stalled and aren't actually
growing. Conversely, if you're hitting
high levels of fatigue such as four or
5% and you just don't seem to be
growing, then we probably have other
issues like insufficient recovery going
on. your body simply cannot adapt and
overcome the amount of cellular damage
that you're causing. And it could be the
fact that you're actually causing too
much elongation and too much straa
through your training sessions for your
body to actually cause an adaptation
response and result in supercompensation
where it goes below baseline and then
recovers above where you were before.
Super compensation is the basis of
adaptation over time. So the point is
track your bone press stretch flaccid
length. Track the amount of strain that
you're getting per session. If your bone
press stretch flaccid length is going up
from week to week, you're winning. Your
job is going to be to find out what
percentage of elongation tends to result
in growth over time for you
individually. 2% is just a starting
point. It's not the end all beall. If
