Hi all, reviving this thread, obviously.
This will be a bit lengthy because I want to be as detailed as possible.
Long story short, my goal is to gain girth. This has proven difficult. As per the TGC theory, my tunica was my limiting factor (High EQ, about .25 difference between BPEL and BPSFL). I engaged in dedicated hanging back in 2013 for about 3 months and achieved a length gain of 6/10 of an inch. At that point, I stopped because the several hours a day I had to invest became a bit too much. (NOTE: as far as I remember, my EQ was still high post hanging, but the difference between BPSFL and BPEL increased a bit).
After that hanging period, I tried clamping for girth, but I was getting major discoloration very quickly. I PM’d Hobby about that matter at that time, and I stopped clamping because the discoloration was not acceptable to me. 3 years later, the discoloration has subsided, but if I really look, I can still see the lighter color where the clamp had been applied.
For the next couple of years, I engaged in some fairly random O-bending, jelqing, and uli’s. I noticed perhaps a 1/8 gain in girth with this, I believe primarily from the O-Bends. After slacking on PE, I lost the girth gain. Fortunately, I never lost any of that length gain from hanging.
About 5 months ago, I decided to give O-binding a proper investment, and have been consistent with a 3 or 4 days a week routine, some multi day breaks in between. 4 sets of 30 seconds each, re warming in between each set.
Now I’ve noticed perhaps a bit in girth gain, but now I find that; a) My EQ has declined to maybe a 7, and b) my BPSFL exceeds my BPEL by about .5 inch. So I assume the Smooth Muscle has become my limiting factor. I intend to dedicate myself to high erection angle Jelqing now, 3 or 4 days a week, with one of those days including Uli’s.
QUESTION: Does the O-Bend work more on the Tunica more than smooth muscle, sort of like a length exercise? Has anyone else noticed this effect from O-Bends? According to what I’ve read, Bends stretch the tunica, so I’m hoping it is just that that has caused my loss of EQ which can be restored with Smooth Muscle focus.
Again, I truly want to gain girth, and I’ve been frustrated in this for years now.
