Tough girth gains and theory

I’ve always had a tougher time gaining girth over length (over the past 8 months I gained almost 0.85” EL, only 0.15” G). It’d be great if some fast/big girth gainers threw some advice this way.

However, my recent girth gains have come after a stagnant period of no girth gains for about 6 months. My theory is that this is due to a length/girth alternating day routine that I started. After reading up on the literature on this site I noticed that there’s a theory floating around that when we PE, we don’t increase the size/cell number of the tunica – we only thin it out during the PE process. Therefore, would it be likely that doing length exercises also thins the tunica, but in a different dimension relative to girth? Could it be possible that doing both length and girth will produce better gains in both aspects? I know this goes against alot of traditional PE theory so I could be completely off here.

Congratulations on your gains.

Men have different gaining patterns and potentials. Some gain better in length, others girth, some both, and a few none of either. What worked for a “big girth gainer” probably won’t for you. A BGG was likely predisposed to gaining girth easily, and you obviously aren’t. You should be investigating how stubborn girth gainers have managed some progress because that seems to be the boat you are in.

My experience is that length gains are more easy for me to achieve than girth gains. In about one year, I have now achieved 3 cm (1.18”) length gains but only 1 cm (0.39”) girth gain. But, I have lately focused to achieve my goal for length gains first (only 1 cm left!) and then girth gain. From what I have read, clamping seems to be the only, but very dangerous, exercise to achieve large girth gains and there are some very extensive topics about it (19 pages of reading one topic!). Try to catch up there and then maybe ask some of the big girth gainers for advice.

Thanks you guys I will search around and see what I can pull up
