Hey buddy, my starting EL is less than yours (5” + BPEL), and my mid shaft EG is 3.5” to 3.75” depending on erection quality. From my initial work on PE I’ve learned that your own unique physiology will dictate how you gain.
Some are fast gainers some are hard gainers. Some gain better in length, some at girth, some with both. Ultimately, you can gain in both length and girth EVENTUALLY, assuming you stick to a long-term committed PE regimen. You wont know what type of gainer you are until you’ve done at least 6-12 months of PE.
Good news though - your notion about starting small makes you harder to gain is most likely a myth. I gained a solid 0.5” in BPEL from a month of so-so PE, and the only reason why I didn’t maintain it was due to my failure to cement. August is a month of vacationing and it threw me off, but I’m confident I can gain that right back and work on cementing it. Point is that 0.5” is a LOT in PE, and to gain it in a month is awesome. I feel like other small guys here experience much of the same - initial gains coming rapidly for smaller guys.
Of course I will mention, I had little to no noticable gain in EG. However, my erection quality improved greatly and as a result, my EG appeared healthier and firmer. That is a positive physiological indicator. I believe with PE, you will have to try your newbie routine for 1-3 months, then proceed to modify your routine to best accomodate your penis’s responses to the workouts (physiological indicators/PIs - look them up). After jelqing and stretching, I’ve learned it does wonders for length but so far nothing promising for girth. And since girth is my primary concern, I have looked into pumping and ADS after I’ve completed my own version of the newbie routine in 1-3 months. I suspect by changing up workouts on my penis (much like real-life working out) that I will see gains.
Its all about keeping your penis stimulated, constantly “urging it” to stretch, cell-split, expand, etc - but w/out ever over-doing it. You will eventually gain in girth, but it may take some time and effort.
Your best bet (from the advice I’ve received here) is to keep your goals small at first and realisitic. Set benchmarks for yourself stating that you will gain 0.25” in MSEG in 3 months. This is a fairly realisitic goal if you plan to take PE seriously. If you come close to this goal, you can continue what you are doing or make very minor modifications. If you fall far from that goal, consider modifying your routine altogether - thats what its going to take.
Good luck.
