Critique of my routine

Hey so I have been on this routine for quite some time now. I went from march ‘09-august ‘09, essentially took September ‘09-march ‘10 off. Since Ariel of 2010 I’ve been fairly consistent with it, going about 4-5 days a week:

5 min warm up
20 min hanging (15lbs; I feel as though this might be too much)
10 min clamp
10 min pump
5 min jelq

I made most of my gains with this routine, but now it feels as though I’m reaching a plateau. Additionally, I’m not quite sure about hanging angles (my dick curves upwards), and if the time and weight with which I’m hanging is appropriate for gains.

Although I’d like to gain more length, girth is mostly my concern as there hasn’t been much change in that department compared to my initial stats. Advice on both of these areas would be greatly appreciated, as I’m personally stumped as to where to go from here.

If it helps, I’m a 20 year old male who works out 5-6 days a week. Eat as healthy as I can; smoke under times of extreme stress (trying to cut that out); drink only when I party with buddies, etc.

It is somewhat a strange routine, many different things at the same time. I think maybe would be better focusing on a length-technique for a while (say hanging if you have time) than to a girth oriented routine for another period (say clamping or pumping).

Thank you for the advice; I always thought that my routine should be more focused, but I was never quite sure as to how I should set up intervals between length and girth.

Do you have any experience with effective exercises, and the time with which I should be alternating between length and girth (I.e. 1 week length/1 week girth, etc)?

It depends on the technique you are going to use. The rule of the thumb is: the more intense the work, the shorter it has to be. For example, if you are going to use an extender, I think you should use it for at least 6 months, better 12 if you are using it for less than 4 hours daily. If you are on a manual stretching routine, go for 3-4 months.

But the foremost principle is : if you are gaining, don’t stop. :)

If you had gains with the kind of routine you did, I suspect you are blessed for gains. Go for length first, I think you could reach your goal in one year of consistent work.

Than go for girth.

So your recommendation is I follow a length routine until I achieve my goal? Or do you recommend a monthly cycling?

I’d say stay on a lenght routine untill you don’t hit a plateau or you are satisfied with your length, than go on a girth routine untill you don’t hit a plateau.

OKay I understand; thank you for all your advice marinera

No problem. Good luck.

Your routine is quiet too dam much to believe in it. I don’t know I rate it advanced-plus or PHD routine. Are you using clamp, pump and hanger and also jelq?

I guess the best way to go is to create a priority goal such as length or girth first then work on the other.

Yes that was what I was doing for a while, and I made my recorded gains through this routine. Right now though I seem to be in a plateau, and the gains aren’t coming quite as fast so based on marinera’s advice I’ve moved on to a strict length routine for now as follows:

25 min hang
20 min jelq
ADS afterwards for ~3, 4 hours

I’ve been doing this for about 2 weeks and I definitely notice a visible change in my flaccid length; I haven’t yet put a ruler to get a BPEL though.
