Yeah very true. It is an odd thing that drives us as men. The newbie routines, how long are you expected to keep them up (day by day I mean) to get any results? I appreciate that like bodybuilding, it is very subjective, some people will grow more than others.
I found that I never stick at it because it bores me! Because I can’t really see or feel it working, I tend to lose interest. Whereas with the weights, you can see physical progress in the mirror (relatively quickly).
I also used one of them spring loaded enlargers, but to get any real tension meant having it uncomfortably tight so I sacked that off as well.
