First post. Long time lurker. Interesting seeing other folks mixing in overall conditioning with PE. Dragon door and convict conditioning are great, and Beast Skills is also great but for my money, your best bet is gymnastics bodies.com. It's run by a gymnastics coach, and he sets forth logical progressions to get you stronger. I did suffer chronic shoulder pain in almost every other exercise program I ever followed from a bike accident (ac fx with torn rotator cuff). I always had a bump on my ac and had atrophy on the affected side. I've basically eliminated that with gymnastics related exercises.
From following the progressions over an 18 month period, this 45 y/o 175# can now do a muscle up, planche, front lever, pistol, oapu, hspu, L-sit, back limber, and I am very close to a oac. I basically do a OAC them with the slightest assist by holding a ring strap well below the pulling ring. The real key is doing these beginner ring series where you start to string these exercises together. You can buy rings very cheap over the net, and make parallettes out of PVC. it's basically all you need to get started. When I say increased strength, I mean crazy strong, and it creates a very tight compact physique. if you want to get huge, it's probably not the routine. if you want to get crazy ripped, it's very effective.
On PE, started some beginner routines last year about this time, mixed in some clamping over the summer. I am seeing steady progress. My erections at first were very variable in measuring so I think I started at about BPEL 6'; and now I am about 7'. I try not to get too crazy with measuring all the time. I was clamping a lot because I am on the skinny side @ 5 in girth at the widest point near my base and less than 5 at meg. I think I am going to do some extending a bit since my plateau seems to be reaching. I also hurt myself clamping but that is a whole different story.
Good luck
