PhallicPhun's experimentation and progress log

[PhallicPhun Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close PhallicPhun]

I adjusted my routine to include more manual stretching, pumping as usual, and hanging back to the beginning of my routine. I got a pack of LGH girth bands and a weight to replace my jerry rigged setup and they work very well. The extension is a bit crazy as my flaccid length when wearing them is almost 7 inches. My BPSFL is already longer so hopefully I've broken through my plateau. Crossing my fingers for 8.1 when I measure this weekend. I wish I had gotten a size larger for the weight. I guess my flaccid girth is larger than I thought. Had to extend the one half to get it to fit.

The holidays have interfered with doing any serious hard-core exercising so I've mostly been doing extreme stretches and the occasional pumping. Still stuck at an even 8 inches but I think the slow down may be a good thing. I've been hitting it hard pretty much since the beginning and have noticed better erections since I've backed off a bit. After the new year I'll be back to the routine. It's a little frustrating that I haven't seen any gains for three weeks but I'm still encouraged by the look on my wife's face when she sees junior at full staff, which is happening a lot lately Being careful during sex was something I rarely had to worry about, but now I regularly have to keep in mind that it's only so deep. As much as I want to show off my shiny new hog, I do have to be more careful with an extra 1.75 inches.

I've been wearing the girth bands pretty regularly now. My flaccid penis is long enough to secure one at the base and one behind the glans. I'm keeping a soft sleeve over the two and that's working well. If I'm busy and it heats up, it will gradually hang naturally but for the first maybe half hour I need to be careful since it looks like I have a slight erection. I always wear baggy clothes but even in baggy pants there is nowhere for it to go but down one leg and I'm having to be careful. I've gotten more than a few glances at my crotch. You just can't hide it. Folding it in front is just uncomfortable due to the stiffness. I haven't made any gains recently but it's definitely helped cement what I've gained so far and my flaccid size has increased a little.

So I had a free day today and did some extreme stretching and pumping. The rest of the day I just used the girth bands and sleeve combination. I checked and while it's on a day that I did some extreme exercises, including hanging, it does look like I've gotten to 8.1 but I'm going to check in a few days to be sure it's real. If it is then even though the gains are slowing down, they are coming. Seeing that something is happening, even if it wasn't deliberate, I think I may just be on to something. Maybe like 2 on, 2 off sort of thing. My wife thinks it's funny but I keep waking up with massive morning wood. She thinks it may be the yogurt boosting my testosterone. She could be right.

New Year's Day is a perfect day to post validated gains and a benchmark for the coming year. I reached 8.1 BPEL which was probably a couple days ago but I wanted to rest except for wearing the girth bands / sleeve combo to see if it was real or just post-workout gains. Measuring this morning it's still a tenth over the end of my 8 inch ruler. "We're going to need a bigger ruler". This tenth was by far the hardest slog after gaining so easily. I knew growth would slow down. It took an entire month to gain another tenth. About two weeks ago I started serious manual stretching and consistent jelqing which I almost never do, since everything else was maintaining but not achieving any gains. I did very little hanging the last couple weeks. In the past, hanging created rapid results combined with an ADS and pumping, but now I'm finding better results with just pumping and manual exercises.

I also did the calculation that no one wants to face the reality of, that the average maximum gains are about 35% of starting size, meaning my short term goal may be the most I'll ever get to. The hopeful part of that is that there are outliers and my gains seem to be on the high end given the time I've spent so far, so I may still be able to reach my long term goal but I have no illusions about getting there by the end of this year. If I extrapolate the slowdown, with consistent work, I think I'm looking at maybe 8.7 by the end of the year.

Haha time for a bigger ruler indeed! Good to see the gains are stable. I think you might be looking at future gains jaded by your massive early gains. In comparison it took me almost 6 years to gain a little over half an inch in permanent length, sometimes going 2-3 months between erect length increases, without having had any newbie gains. I might have had a tighter lig than most slowing me down, but your early gains are still pretty mind-blowing from my perspective! This last tenth sounds more like what would be considered “normal” gains if that phrase can even be stated. But as always PE is a marathon. A couple months of being consistent, without burning yourself out on it, and I think you’ll be at your short term goal before you know it.

After some reading of some who have had significant gains, I think I'm going to make some changes (again). Moving hanging back to the front of my routine and switching to vacuum hangar instead of compression hanger, to see if I can up my progress from last month. Trying to hang for as long as I can tolerate. I've started regular jelqing, working my way up to higher reps. Starting with 100 twice a day. Still doing stretches and pumping as usual. My wife informed me she prefers doggy style since my length doesn't hit the end as hard that way. I guess I just need to learn to use my new weapon responsibly lol.

Moving hanging to the front of my routine with less weight on the vacuum hanger allowed me to put in 2 hours today. I felt much better about my potential gains after today than the previous month`s struggle where almost nothing was working well.

Today marks four days of switching to the vacuum hanger and putting it at the front of my routine right after warming up. One thing I've found depending on room temperature is that it gets a bit cold after a long session so I got a small heating pad that you put in the microwave to heat up, to wrap it with while hanging. There are DIY solutions that basically do the same thing but it wasn't expensive and is covered in soft cloth. I'll be switching to the LG hanger once that arrives but not going over 8 pounds, the sillistretcher is working fine. I'm actually feeling it a lot more than hanging with 20 pounds on the compression hanger so I won't ever be going back to that. At the end of this month if I've made a tenth or more gain I'll call that a success. Right now I don't see the need to go over 10 pounds for the forseeable future.

My current routine is pretty simple. Hang for an hour, pump, stretch, jelq, hang for another hour, pump, stretch, jelq, done. Then the rest of the day I wear the girth bands with a sleeve over top. For the record, after a workout I'm seeing a larger gap between the bands when I'm semi-erect. It could just be I'm more erect from jelqing since I didn't do that until recently but who knows maybe that's a sign of good things to come. We'll see. So far my BPSFL hasn't changed enough to tell, but it's only been a week. Taking two days off tomorrow and Tuesday.

I picked up a Paloqueth pump to use when the regular one isn`t convenient, mainly because it was cheap. Today and tomorrow are rest days but I used it a couple times today just because. Itā€™s pretty handy a couple times a day to just lightly pump and go back into the girth band / sleeve combo. I wouldn`t use it for my regular routine but it is really convenient. My flaccid size today is crazy even hours after the last pump.

Current routine is working well. Back from rest days with another 2 hours hanging 8 pounds. Received the LG hanger today but have not had time to try it yet. Will be giving it a go tomorrow. Iā€™m really feeling the fatigue after 2 hours so for now I won`t be increasing time.

Used the LG hanger yesterday and it is definitely more comfortable and secure. I experienced what I have seen others refer to as ā€œligament popsā€ twice. Once very noticeable and the second more gradual. It feels like something getting over a hump and then business as usual. I do not know how much it moved down but it felt like an eighth to a quarter inch. My post workout stretched length was slightly longer but it does not feel any different. It happened a few times before but I thought it was just a loose fold in the sleeve dropping down but this was definitely inside. Not a scary feeling just like it feels like something slowly sliding over a small hump. I do not know how else to describe it. Not painful at all or I would have stopped.

I had a long discussion with the wife today about my PE goals. She is okay with me trying to get more length and girth but if by some miracle I do get to my long term goal I will need to stop and just maintain. She told me she would not be weirded out by it if I did it while she was home so I may move my routine to the evenings when I am not doing anything but reading or watching TV. I have a kilt I can wear so she does not need to see my stretched out junk in the living room lol

Very pleased to hear you're experiencing the comfort and secure feeling the LG Hanger provides! Just be patient with weight increases, all too often that feeling of comfort entices guys to go heavier than then should before they have developed the proper amount of tissue conditioning. PE is a marathon, not a sprint.

Totally agree. I`m getting a very good stretch with just 8 pounds. No need to change that for quite a while.

Starting supplemental evening hanging sessions today. Got close to 3 hours this morning. May just start with an hour in the evenings and work my way up. After a couple days off, pumping this morning, junior was thick AF and rock hard. More than usual. Not sure if that`s a good thing yet. I didn`t measure but holy shit even I was impressed. Post workout stretched length was longer which has always been a good sign.

Decided to step down to 5 pounds tonight. I'm getting the dull ache without the strain of the 10 pounds I used last night. I think I'll stick to 8 pounds in the morning and 5 pounds at night. My wife freaked a little seeing for the first time, my member fully swollen in the pump. I assured her it won't stay that size lol.
