That’s the glaring & troublesome reality that casts a shadow over PE. No shortage of guys who claim 2- & 3-inch gains (some even claiming more than 4” gains), but no pictures showing more than maybe 1.5” EL gains.
I’ve been at this (although not with Spartan dedication) since August 2002. My total EL gains have been about 1.6 inches - and most of that came within the first 6 months. If you factor in that I had regained about 3/8” of lost size over the years, my *actual* gains are a pedestrian 1.2” EL.
I’m not claiming that nobody has had better gains than me, or that nobody has gained more than 2” EL - it’s just that its quite rare. And gains like that tend to take a long time. Not the stuff of fantastical internet ad copy for a PE paysite.
On the other hand, my EG gains were significant, and I regularly achieve iron erections….and I’m 40.
