Is this normal?

[Raven_96 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Raven_96]

I've been doing PE for about a month now starting at 9" BPEL and 5.5" EG. Recently measured and have gained 0 in length. As for girth I'm confidently at 5.75. I'm curious if it's normal to not gain any length at all in the first month. This really bothers me because length is my primary goal. Girth can come at a later time.

First 3 months is for conditioning. Very few people seen gains early. Give it 6 months of consistent work.

Any gains in the first month of PE are good gains Raven! And since it seems many have more difficulty making girth gains, You should be thrilled with those gains this soon after beginning PE, especially starting with 9" BPEL.
CUSP is correct, commit to 6 months of consistent effort and you will be well conditioned for whatever direction you want to go from there.
Congrats on your gains btw!

A month may seem like a long time to you Raven, but you're just getting started. Just my opinion, but I think it's more healthy to not expect gains early and fast, that way there is not disappointment when you don't see gains quickly.
Have you seen improved EQ, fuller,heavier flaccid? Don't forget those are gains too, and may likely be some of the most important gains (EQ).
If you have been lurking for a while on this site, I'm sure you have seen the phrase many times that PE is a marathon, not a sprint.
Dude you are huge to begin with, relax and keep at it. The length gains will come if you stay consistent. Everybody wants to see fast gains, but few actually do. In your case (9" BPEL starting) you have no reason whatsoever to try to rush the process, and doing so increases your risk of injury.

What is your routine Raven?
9" BPEL is what almost everyone on this forums wants to achieve, so that's a really good size to start out!
You should committ to a 6 month program, and keeping a log of your hours and growth on monthly basis. At your 2nd month, there should be some gains, or your doing something wrong or need to swap out methods.

Cmoney...it seems likely that you are using a mobile device to post but this shouldn't prevent you from writing coherent sentences with proper punctuation.

Your postings have improved since you have been asked to pay attention to these issues, but they still make absolutely no sense without reading and deciphering them ten friggin' times!

Please try to make an old man very happy as I don't know how much time I have left on this Earth and I don't want to waste any more of that precious time trying to figure out what the hell you're talking about!

Pretty please with a big fat bleedin' cherry on top!

@ Raven, ditto what Cusp and Domnus have said. Just be patient and stick with it for a while and gains should result. If not, feel free to adjust your routine after 6 months.

Thanks everyone for the replies! While this thread is still going, would anyone mind telling me how to make a log thread? One similar to maybe Sequoia Tree? And how to link it in my signature like that?

How old are you? While one month of PE is nothing to see results in length, age has some effect too.

On the main forum page, scroll down and click Progress Forum, then click the button right above the list of threads that says Post New Thread to start a log.

Then when you want to link it in your signature, go to the first page of your thread, and right-click>copy the address in your browser bar.
Now edit your signature and highlight the text that you want to link to your thread.
Then click the button in the text editor that looks like a globe with a little chain link in front of it, and paste the web address of your thread into the bar that comes up, and you should be done!

What effects does age cause? I guess more specifically my age?

Thanks Sequoia!

Do you have any program suggestions other than the newbie routine purely for length? My plan is to commit my first year of PE primarily to length. At least until I gain an inch in length. Then I'll begin to work on girth, while still training for length of course.
