How long did it take you to gain 1 full inch ?

Please post what you voted, how many times a week you PE, and your workout.

A good 5 months for me. That included taking a 1 month de-conditioning break.

Doing 5 days a week I believe.

Doing various routines.

Wow the results are looking great right now!

I voted 5-12 mos.

Only hanging made me grow more after my first 1”, I was stuck on it for 6 mouth. I got .5” from my last 3 months of hanging. I am looking forward to get the 2” gainer club.

I gained 3/4” the first month, nothing the second, and one and 3/4” during the third and fourth months, all from jelqing and hanging. I gained 3” flaccid during that time.

Now I’m doing an intense minimum of two hours a day stretching and have noticed an occasional 1/4” increase in flaccid, (not yet cemented).

5 months for me to get a full inch BP, with the majority of that (7/8”) in 3 months. After the first inch things got hard, and it took over a year to get another 1/2”. In retrospect I think I wasted effort spinning my wheels for a good portion of that time. I’m now up to 1.75” total gain, maybe a little more.

It’s slow going, not anything like the early days, but I still gain when I do things right, which in my case means putting in adequate time hanging after taking a break. Manual stuff doesn’t do much for me anymore. Maybe a longer (6 month?) layoff would change that.

Edit to add:

I forgot to mention my workouts when I started: simple stretching and jelqing with an occasional one-handed squeeze at the base. I did very few workouts in the early months. IIRC, I started experimenting with hanging about 2-3 months in, but manual exercises were responsible for my initial gains.

I’ve been hanging for about 9 months and have finally gained 1 full inch, according to yesterday’s measurement.

I do manual stretching and jelqing with some horses and girthblasters thrown in randomly. I show an inch gain bpel if I stretch it up the ruler a little. Not sure if you’re ‘sposed to do it that way though. Without pulling on my erection I have gained 7/8, so not sure I should have voted :) Took me a little over 10 wks.

It took me exactly 22 days to gain my first inch. Unbelievable I know!!

5 on 2 off schedule, manual exercises

Is that about normal for weight hanging?

Edit: In my above post, I meant “stretching,” not “hanging”. Thanks, Aussie pal for picking that up. Maybe you guys were right down there and everything is upside down up here.

:D

It took me 2.5 months. I wasn’t sure how to vote, so I didn’t. I think you intended to type 1-3 months for the first category. That would be me in the first category.

It’s hard to believe I gained so fast initially now that I’m on the 1/4” a year plan. Those were the days. I always get a chuckle whenever I see an excited newbie projecting where he’ll be in X months based on an assumption of linear gains.

great poll

bump….

I’d say my gains have been slower than most. Hanging weights should be the fastest way to gain length. I’m not sure I would have made any gains at all through manual exercises, considering how hard it’s been even through hanging. I don’t mind though — another half-inch and I may be done.

1 inch in 1 year. manual stretching and jelqing, 1 hr/day 3-5 days a week. About 8-10 various weeks out of that year I was not able to PE. Started hanging 4-5 months ago off and on 3 twenty minute sets but no more gains YET
