Good to see you in the saddle again bro

Sometimes a good break is needed. Really missed your posts so welcome back!

I'm on a manual only to at the moment. Seems to be going well.

How are your measurements looking after your break?

I'm thinking of a decon break after this cycle for 2 months. I'm a bit nervous of the thought but I'm fed up of taking 6 weeks to gain a 16th.

Thanks! I haven't taken a solid measurements in awhile. I'll do that soon. Probably later.

It's slow going from here on out, I'm afraid. 1/16" I'm 6 weeks. Let's see, 52/6= 8.66; 8.66× 1/16"; shoot dang that's over half an inch. You'll be well over 8.5" of you maintain this pace.

I enjoy hanging to much. Looking forward to getting back up to weight I can feel the burn. Taking it slow. I get lots of burn using my noose style and doing manuals that way. Can pull way harder and more consistently. I pull until I can feel it inside the shaft and am doing holds. Even if I'm just maintaining, I'm good with that; until my vac hanging weight catches up.

The break was nice, but I missed doing this.

Now, I'll go measure and update!

Alright, measurements were as follows:

BPEL 7.75", SAME (by some miracle) -BEG 7.16" + 0.16" -MSEG 6.41" + 0.22" -BTHEG 6.25" +0.15" -BPFL/FBG 5.5"-6.5" Same.

Girth: Alright, these are a surprise to me.I have been doing some mild, what I'd call, "clamping." On a pretty regular basis I've been using a strap which one side is velcro and that allows me to make it as tight as I want. So, I've been doing clamping using that for 5-10minutes at a time. Coupled with using it for longer periods of time; worn much more loosely. That being said, I continue to see veins grow and new veins forming or just making themselves more pronounced.

Regarding length, I have continued to do some manuals for this entire hiatus. Nothing in the form of a prolonged or scheduled session. I'd do 100 STS here and there, etc. More recently, I have been doing more intentional manual stretching aforementioned in the response above this. I am beyond thrilled with these measurements and it's definitely a huge confidence booster and motivation to pursue a more regular routine. I REALLY want to attain 8" by the end of this year. I am feeling like this is still completely within reason to achieve.

I'm definitely going to get my butt in gear and carve out some time to do more consistent hanging and find a way to work in manuals throughout the day.

Personal health:
More recently, I have really set out to pursue a more healthy self. It's amazing when you start looking at calories and serving sizes. Just using the app on my phone (Samsung Health) to track my progress, water intake, calorie intake for the day, what my calorie allotment is, how many I've burned, what my caloric deficit is, etc.

Currently at 209.2lbs. My initial goal is 195lbs and I'm trying to regain some of my cardio. Ran 1.5miles a week ago at 12min 43sec. I want to get to 3 miles in 20min (boot camp days). I was solid at 195lbs and fit. Sets of 20 pull ups, could sprint like no other, etc. I'm ready and have decided to be determined to achieve an overall maximum fitness level and health. Because, all of this is a decision, we can be as determined as we want, if you don't continue to make that decision, you'll never make it.

I'll try to be more consistent in updating this in all aspects! Thanks for listening!

7/5

Jogged 1.5miles in 12min 10sec. It was a near death experience, or at least it seemed like it.

Weighed in at 208.8lbs.

1hr of vac hanging - 5lbs.

1hr of manual stretching. Which included. STS, directionals, BTC, etc. No real method, just a lot of pulling.

[Moose Tenderloin Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Moose Tenderloin]

Irritated 7/6 and 7/7 turned into rest days.

Planning on an hour hang. Work has been keeping me extra busy and it's causing me to slack on this.

7/8

Didn't have time to do vac hanging. Ended up with 3 x 20 minutes, 1 w/ 7.5lbs, and 2 w/ 9lbs. Simple noose style hanger. Dick feels good and healthy today.

Weight - 211lbs.

[Moose Tenderloin Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Moose Tenderloin]

1hr with just 4lbs. Was going to do longer and the sleeves slipped off the chamber. :/

Decided to do a 20 minute with 9lbs with noose style.

100 STS - difficult as it wouldn't stay flaccid and even a semi is difficult to do STS with. Seemed wide today. I'm wondering if the STS is what's causing the base girth to increase?

Will update if any more.

Also, ran 1.3 miles, weight - 209lbs.

7/9 continued.

Did 20 minutes NSH (noose style hanger) with 9lbs before did and some various manual stretching, 100 STS and cranks.

Another hour after dinner with just 4lbs. Working up to do 2hrs a day. Didn't like what minuscule potentially negative looking prompts to "You're doing to much." So, dropped it back down a pound and I'll hopefully start adding 0.5lb increments to the first hour for a few days, then the other hour to even it out. Rinse and repeat.

100 STS
20 minutes 9lbs NSH
100 STS

That is all!

Nothing PE related to speak of.

[Moose Tenderloin Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Moose Tenderloin]

7/22 - More

Did another 20 minutes NSH with 11lbs.

45 minutes with 6lbs - LG

6lbs is definitely doing work. With the hanging this morning and the 11lb NSH session. It's definitely intensified the LG hanging time. Feeling "sore." Erections are still solid. Morning wood every morning I have a normal sleep schedule. All is well!
