If you gained an inch or more in girth, please check in

Can you give any extra info on the DHT?

5.7” - THAT’s GREAT

That really is around my ideal. I do need to take up pumping again, I just haven’t had the privacy to do it right. I need to get my priorities straight.

Interesting what you say about clamping not working out for you.

I don’t have the science to prove it, but my theory is that clamping quickly made my penis “over-conditioned” – it reacted to the added force with becoming too strong.

I’m fortunate to have gained girth fairly easily early on. It took about a year to get that first inch.

Unfortunately I wasn’t very scientific in my approach, so I don’t have a lot of data to help me understand exactly what helped the most. While I can attribute much of my early length gains to fat loss and a diminishing fat pad, that can’t really explain girth gains, but I digress…

It has always seemed to me that I made the most gains whenever I incorporated a new technique.

When I started jelqing, I made gains which I then cemented. I added in some clamping and made rapid girth gains which then stalled. When I started some light pumping I made more quick girth gains which stalled. I went back to jelqing more and made some length gains, then threw in some clamping and the girth gains came again, and so on…

If there are any rules that seem to hold true for me it’s they would be:

• Take at least two weeks to evaluate any new techniques.
• Once gains stop from a technique slowly phase in a new one and phase out the old one.
• Length gains will also mean girth gains over the long term.
• Jelqing is never a bad idea.
• Don’t measure too often. The most gains occur when you stop measuring.
• Gains must be coaxed, not forced.
• If it starts to feel really good — back off on the intensity or risk injury.
• Consistent work makes for consistent gains.
• The expansion you get during a workout is a sign of things to come, both in size and quality.
• A good flaccid hang means gains are coming.
• Strong morning erections mean gains are coming.
• Do as little as possible to make gains. If it’s working, don’t change it.
  

Excellent rules — Mjolnir, that whole post is very helpful.

The importance of surprising your penis. :)

The more I think about this the more sense it makes. When I think back to most of my girth gains - it was a period of mostly jelqing, followed by a period of mostly pumping. The next time I made some gains was by adding squeezes to a jelqing routine.

Keep the success stories coming, it is really helpful.

No, don’t get rid of them. Just take notice of them, but don’t give them any specific value, and then put them aside. Just trying to get rid of negative emotions usually just makes them stronger.

Perhaps not completely relevant for the thread, but relevant in life :) .

Quite a ood philosophy that. As if to say, negative thoughts are a part of life, don’t take them too seriously, let them be and move foreward :) .

Not odd at all, it’s a part of cognitive behavioral therapy and it’s very effective. See Cognitive behavioral therapy - Wikipedia if you want to know more. Haven’t read that wikipedia text myself, but it probably gives a broad view of what it is in case you didn’t know. :)

Haha my post is missing a "g". It should read, "Quite a good philosophy that". My bad :D .

My erections are stiff, don’t worry, you will get just as hard.

I gained my first 1/2” of EL in maybe 5 weeks or less. The next 1/2”+ took quite a long time.

Slow, firm jelqs - both wet & dry - at about 75% erection. In my early months, I was doing PE every other day - never on consecutive days. While I believe that “more is better” for Length, I believe that “LESS is more” for Girth. Too much girth work, I believe, traumatizes the tissues….inhibiting growth.

Try a simple, not-too-frequent approach to girth for a while.

Dude I started this a while back, at first I was depressed because I didn’t see results but I kept at it now the gains are visible and don’t stop, keep hustling

Did “Big Girtha” miss this topic? ;)

He gained 2” in girth. Would love to do that! :D
