The 1/4” in length and 1/8” in girth since then are real PE gains.
I’m a big guy at 6’4” and 235# and always felt I was average size for an average person, and probably a bit small for a big guy. Turns out from the data I was a bit better off than that.
I’ve become pretty obsessed with girth. I’d like to hit the magic 8 x 6. I can tell you 5.5 feels a good deal beefier than 5.25, so I’m looking forward to it.
Your post struck a chord with me for a number of reasons.
First, I’m about the same size as you, 6’4” and about 245 pounds right now.
Second, I started 3 years ago at almost exactly your starting size, something like 6.75” BPEL and 5.25” MSEG.
Third, I always thought of myself as average pre-PE, but after looking at the statistics cited here, I too was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was actually above average.
I’m now 7.75” and maybe a bit above that with 5.75” in girth. My NBPEL fluctuates around 6.75”, give or take, depending on my weight, fluid retention, etc.
Looking down now, I can say that it looks maybe a little bigger than it used to, but it still doesn’t look big to me. I will say, however, that it definitely feels bigger in my hand.
I’m shooting for some additional length gains only. I’d like to get to anything over 7” NBP through a combination of PE and weight loss. Ideally I’d like to get to 7.5” NBP. I think I can do it, but it may take a couple of years or more.
So be it, I’m in it for the long haul.
Maybe 7.5”NBP will start to look big to me.
We’ll see.
In the meantime, good luck on your journey.
