Better EQ or possible gains

So I got my vacextender last week and use it as often as I can. So far I’ve only used it maybe a total of 10 hrs and I wear an anti-turtle sleeve when I’m not wearing my extender. I felt a lot harder today so I decide to measure and I measured 0.25” more than usual, putting me at 7.25” bpel. Is it possible that these are gains in such a short amount of time or is it just because of my EQ?

I bet on this.

Possibly both.
