How did your gains come about?

When some of you guys out there make gains, is it very gradual (slowly but surely) or is it abrupt? When I say abrupt, I mean as if to say you are continuing to work on PE, getting nothing, and you simply wake up one morning after months of consistency and dedication and you dick decided to respond by being 1/4” - 1/2” longer. It’s been so long since my last gains that I don’t remember but I think mine were abrupt. Anybody?

My length gains come in 1/4” spurts every now and then, usually after taking a break. I wish I could gain girth that way!

It’s pretty abrupt (within a week, not within a night)

Yeah well mine have just been when I suddenly release I’ve gained! One time, my length was 0.5” longer between 2 measurings! This was after a break though, so this may have been due to that (better EQ?)…

So, it’s seems so far the gains are fairly abrupt. For those of you that notice fairly abrupt gains after a break, how long had you been doing PE before the break and how long was the break?

My break was about 3 weeks, and I had been going very light, every 2 or 3 days, for about a month and a half, can’t quite remember though…

Definitely abrupt. It is like nothing is happening and then bam, new gains. Then the cycle repeats

Newbie gains quickly. The remainder in small spurts.

Close to 1/2” in 4 months. Pretty quickly Id say.

I’m glad to hear that so many of us have the “abrupt” gains effect. I say that because it gives me hope and cause to be consistent and persistent.

These abrupt gains, are all after decon breaks I suppose right? I have checked the two links by marinera, it is quite interesting that people gain results from various length of decon breaks.

Great thread!

My gains were abrupt in the beginning during my period of newbie gains, but I have not experienced that since, despite several de-conditioning breaks. What I have gained since that time tends to come slowly but steadily as the product of devotion to my routine.

I sure wish that I would get one of these “abrupt” gains like all you lucky fellas.

Same here. Well, the length part anyways. Girth comes relatively easy but in order to gain length I need to put in serious work.

Bro, I wish I could say I’ve had the same thing happen to me, but I don’t recall any of my gains coming slow and steady. However, I hadn’t had any gains for nearly a year now. I know that sounds like cause to try something new, but I’ve been very haphazard with my routines and have come off of various routines far too easily. I need to have the same kind of dedication to a routine you have before I decide that it’s not effective.
