Phil Space's progress log

Three months into my PE journey I thought I‘d start a thread to share my progress, get feedback but also to be able to revisit my journey later on. So here goes...

Baseline and objective
When I started my PE journey in early January this year, my measurements were 7.5" BPEL and 5.5" MEG. I set my medium-term goal (approx. 1 year) at 8.5" x 6.5", and my long-term goal (approx. 2 years) at 9.5" x 7".

Routine
I started my routine with ADS (PF) and pumping (BM), plus a little jelqing in between. I quickly got a bit fed up with the Bathmate (lack of gauge, shower logistics etc) and ordered an air pump instead. After 10 weeks (i.e. two weeks ago) I also started vac hanging (4-5lbs) with the LG hanger, and right now my daily routine tends to be one AM session and one PM session of 1-2h hanging (hourly sets), 20mins pumping, 3h extending, 5mins jelqing. My weekly routine is 5 days on, weekend off, and so far I've had one week where I couldn't do any PE at all.

Stats
Now for the stats from my first 3 months:

	Total (hours)	Avg per day (mins)
Jelqing	5.2	3.7
Pumping	31.1	22.2
Extending	362.9	259.2
Hanging	29.8	21.3
TOTAL	429	311.7

The above average of 6 hours is per calendar day, which equals about 7.5 hours per PE day.

Results
After 12 weeks of PE my measurements are 7.9" BPEL and 5.7" MEG, i.e. I've achieved a 0.4" gain in BPEL and a 0.2" gain in MEG. Overall I'm happy with the progress and motivated to see some gains, though I confess I was hoping for slightly more.

Impressions
First impressions from my current routine:

• Heat seems to make a positive impact. I use it for warm-up but also during hanging and extending sessions. Annoyingly, my Totalman infrared heat map gave up after a mere 2.5 months the other day, but they said they will replace it free of charge.
• Jelqing is something I devoted less time to than planned since I realised this requires your hands and attention, whereas the other PE methods allow me to work during PE.
• Air pumping (I use an excellent 10" x 2" Thickwall cylinder) at lower pressure of 4-6hg is something I enjoy a lot, but I do tend to get fresh red spots every day. Will this become less pronounced over time or is this simply a function of time in pump and pressure level, regardless how long one has had a pumping routine for?
• ADS with the Phallosan Forte is easy and comfortable. I had one blister after using the PF for 3-4 hours following a pump session and not thoroughly washing off residual lube and making sure the glans was completely dry before using the PF. I learnt my lesson!
• The initial impressions of the LG Hanger are very positive. It's extremely well built and comfortable to wear, and the fatigue I can achieve with 1-2 one-hour sets is phenomenal. I feel that the hanger offers most potential for further gains, but I'll take it slowly with weight increases.
• The lack of girth gains is annoying me a bit, but admittedly it's only been a short time of PE so far. I'll continue pumping approx. 40-60 mins per day and will also start clamping at some stage, but I'll wait with that until I've achieved ~1.5" in length gains.

Very detailed log. I like the chart to track total time and daily average.
best of luck with gains
