If you deviate from the standard methods of measurement, you could end up getting inaccurate measures. Without accurate measurement, you can’t be confident of any gains or losses.
To some extent, you’ll get used to it with time. Just don’t do bone pressed measures daily. Do it every few weeks, once a month, or even less frequently if needed. Don’t forget to measure BPFSL, in addition to BPEL. Both are equally important measures for tracking progress. You can check your NBP (non bone pressed) measures as frequently as you like without any pain. I suggest using NBP measures as well.
One good way of tracking your progress is by using the stats section of this website found here: /pedata/home.php
Another way of reaching this page is by clicking the “PE - Data Site” link, way down at the bottom of most forum pages. Then from there, click “personal home page”. PE Data Site > Personal Home Page. When first starting PE its critical that you enter every single measurement (all erect and flaccid measures)—this way you can be sure of your true progress.
Be as honest as possible with every measurement. This will help you truly evaluate where you are now, and later on, it can serve as an accurate assessment of your PE accomplishments.
