Struggling with gains - routine advice

Just feeling like my gains have ceased. Can anyone help me with my routine. Over the last year, I’ve been pretty darn consistent with PE with respect to putting in the time, but I have also been all over the place with my actual routines in an effort to explore what works for me and what does not. I stared with the newbie for 4 months, then started exploring with hanging, pumping, clamping and manual exercises. The last about 5 months I have narrowed it down to a standard workout that I attempt to hit 5 days a week. Here it is

Morning
- Heating pad for 5 mins warmup
- 5lbs btc hang 20 mins
- 2 sets 10lb btc hang for 20 mins (I’ve also explored some OTS and SO hangs at this point)
- Jelqing - depends on how much time I have - usually between 100-300
- Sometimes Ill mix in some clamping here if I feel like it.

Evening
Not much, but if I can ill clamp a few more sets

I’ve limited my clamping sets to no less them 5 mins and no more then 10 mins. I have found that if I go any longer then 10 I’m almost guaranteed to get a clot.

Anyway, the last 2 days I completely switch my BTC hanging focus (the 2 x 20 min sets) to OTS, although I did keep the 5lb warmup BTC set.

Like I said, just looking for ideas

Do you have a specific target? I only ask because you’re doing both length-focused and girth-focused exercises. I’m not saying that you can’t gain doing that, but it seems like most people who have success target one or the other. Additionally, I’d like to add that it’s really tough to find what works for you when you’re doing such a wide array of exercises.

Why don’t you try narrowing it down to 1 (maybe 2) exercises and experiment with time/intensity. Some people can gain doing anything, but some people can’t. It would appear like you need to hit a very narrow window of opportunity to get gains going. When you make it so complex, it’s really tough to find that window.

Thanks for the reply gator - I’m currently 7.5bp and 5 3/4 girth I’m shooting for 8x6. Although I am hitting both length and girth, I am hangin for 1 hour a day with a pretty mild jelqing routine. In other words, I think this routine is more focused on length. Most hanging posts I’ve read recommend some jelqing after hanging. If I completely cut the clamping out (which I do pretty lightly while I’m edging) that would bring me down to 2 exercises. I will definitely try that.

Free tip: sing while you’re doing PE, it helps ;)

My advice is to concentrate on hanging - try to double your hang time and forget jelqing/clamping for now.

Cosign this. Although even if you go for a length-focused routine it would be wise to add a minimum of girth work to avoid EQ lowering too much.

Alright, more hanging less everything else.

Klayton - I don’t know if doubling is feasible, but I could cut out everything else and go for 1 or 2 more 20 min sets.
Marinera - what would you suggest as a minimum?

Thanks again for the response guys.

Just do what Bib did and suggests. Hang & Jelq afterwards

Your weight also sounds quite unflexible. How often do you adjust?

Hey SirKyle - I need to re-read bibs stuff. I pretty much do hang and jelq and as productive as it feels and as good of indicators as it produces, I’m just not growing. As for weight, I’ve been using my own homemade device that pretty much maxes out at 10lbs. I’m going to switch back to my bib-like device so I can go up a bit.

I’d say anything between 50-100 wet jelqs everyday; 25 dry jelqs if you do prefer them on wet jelqs.
