Am i slowing myself down?

I used to PE quiet a lot, however i have had about a years break. i achieved 1.5” in length gains, cemented about 1.1. However I’m lacking on the Girth side of things so iv gotten back into it and am clamping. I jelq too though and by default i jelq downwards its just how i learnt.

Am i slowing down girth gains by jelqing downwards? Would i achieve better girth jelqing in a different direction? either outwards or slightly upwards? I ask this because i have heard on thunders that jelqing downwards is best for length.

The way I see it, jelqing in any direction should give the same end results in terms of girth.

By the way, what did you do to gain 1.5 in length?

Please give a quick review to the Forum Guidelines . Thanks

Approaching stretching carefully, moving onto more advanced stretching techniques CAREFULLY and jelqing downwards. 1.5 in length was gained over about seven months of constant routines.
