Slow/hard girth gainers, how did you do it?

You know, I’ve always been a very hard girth gainer, and for the last few months (years?) nothing has seemed like it’s gotten me past the plateau. I’d been feeling like my corporosa tissues were very very tough, even though my EQ has been fairly good.
It’s struck me recently that perhaps in my case, everybody’s physiology being different, maybe the tunica is the key. So recently I bought a hanger to try to attack my tunica, and I have to say, even after just a few days of use, I was noticing significantly improved expansion during my girth work. I’m talking Very noticeable. What had felt for a long time almost like an uncooperative bundle of sticks was suddenly feeling a lot more like an expanding blood-filled organ. Obviously this is just one anecdote and everybody’s body is different, but it’s been a very big and positive change. Definitely lends credence to the limiting factor paradigm, despite the apparent weakness of the analogy that originally propped up that theory.

Two other changes I’ve made in my program recently, *always* being more diligent with heat application, and making sure that my manual girth exercises (typically semi-erect squeezes, wet semi-clamped Jelqs, and Uli#3s a few hundred of the latter two exercises and about 5-10 one minute reps of the squeezes) are always done at 50-70% erection and not more. It’s very easy for me to lose track of diligence with my techniques, but these two changes will have to be cardinal rules for me.

Anyway, reinvigorating old threads may be frowned upon by some, but I figure these bits of insight are helpful for people who search out these threads.
Good luck to everybody.
