How much will you grow if you do not see results as a beginner? Data Analysis

So basically I’ll never grow

Those people reported growth of 3~4 cm in six months usually. Not realistically they would grow 6~8 cm per year but I think cm/year is a better way to report the data to compare between people than just a flat growth disregarding time spent.

That, or very slowly. Or you are doing something different from everyone else and not realizing. Assuming you are actually following a proper routine consistently for 3~4 months and measuring every month.

What is the +- notation? Is it 95% confidence intervals or is it basic standard deviation?

Very nice article, very good useful work.

I’m on my final routine right now and if there is 0 gains in 6 months I’m done with PE forever.

When did you see your initial gains?

I have been at it for 5 weeks
Vacuum Hanging 1 hour twice a day and pumping 20mins every other day

Still no erect gains

@Derrik

Please visit the link in my sig. I gained pretty quickly last year.

I want to support this view from igigi. I have found that my BPFSL first increases, and then I see gains in BPEL. Basically, I keep a detailed log of my BPFSL during my vacuum-hanging routine, and with known weights, I can see if there is a BPFSL increase over time. With my gains, over many months, I noted that if the difference between BPFSL and BPEL is more than 2.4cm, then I should measure BPEL again and check if there is a BPEL increase. This keeps me focused on PE training and increasing BPFSL over time with the end result of an increase in BPEL. I’m sure that each person is different, but maybe some statistics are available in the data.

This reminds me to get more rigorous about measuring progress. I know there’s a happy medium between too little and too often.

I started off at “too often” and was discouraged when I stalled out for several months after the first while on the newbie routine. I’m guessing the quick ~0.75 cm increase in both BPSFL and EG were just some stretching without new growth (former) and improvement in EQ (latter).

I changed my routine around the beginning of November, which was my fourth month of PE. I “unofficially” measured around a 0.4 gain in BPSFL around four to six weeks into the change, but I often don’t trust my measuring technique and consistency. EG *maybe* was up slightly, but again it could be a bad measurement.

*IF* that last measurement for length is right, then I guess it impacts your analysis insofar as some of us just may need a few months of conditioning before anything happens; or perhaps that initial routine does not work for all bodies, but another one will. Hard to say, and the jury is still out in my case.

Interesting data for people who are slow to see gains.

New easy gains willl go away if stopped. I think it’s best to focus on the late gains, new gains are made to get to the late gains and keep some improvements permanently

You clearly don’t have the mindset that PE is a lifestyle, but rather a thing you do once to reap a certain benefit, and then go on about your life.

This, in my opinion, severely limits your possible achievements with any endeavour in life.
