IPR macro cycles and gains?

I’m currently sitting through a decon that I’m considering ending this weekend. Saturday will be four weeks since I last did any PE. Anyways, when I start up again, I am going to try an IPR cycle, probably with a bit more of an emphasis on length than girth, but I’ll take whatever I can get. I know there is no way to get an “average” or a guess on how much I might gain, as we are all different. But I’m wondering, for those who have done one or more cycles of an IPR type protocol, what were YOUR gains like?

It solidified my recent gain and pushed my average up. I was 8.87-9” BPELbefore. After the first cycle that was 9.25” and up as high as 9.375” and not below 9” anymore now.

Girth has fluctuated. However 6” MSEG is all I can reliably claim. But less fluctuating downward and more 6.25” than before. Before 6” was my high mark. Now it’s my middle mark.

I’m looking forward to my next cycle and expect solid gains in the coming R-phase after. So July say, I think I’ll see closer to 9.5x6.375” Hopefully.

Thanks, so it’s not a “dead on the money it is this much” type of deal, but roughly a quarter for length AND girth?

Yes on length. Girth is too unstable to count at this time but should be a strong gain soon in my opinion.

Keep in mind that as long as I’ve been doing PE my gain pattern is going to be subdued. I trend upwards more than hard gain at this point. I can’t promise you’ll see gains but I believe that you should. You have less raw stress logged than I do, if I’m right. So, you may get faster hard results than me.

Yeah, I think you’re right, and I will be hoping for the best, but not actually expecting much. It would be great to see a half inch in each measurement, but I’ll settle for an eight in either one. I usually get good gains right after a break, and with a regimented routine. But I have kind of hit a wall in recent years. IPR not only makes sense to me as far as the science/theory behind it, it seems like it really fits what I have learned in my earlier PE experiences.

Length gains? I had thought IPR was mainly for girth? However I too have seem some length gains.

Can you briefly remind me of your routine in case I have missed something?

As for IPR, I am in my second R phase. I, like TG, believe it has made measurable gains more reliable. So before I would sometimes get 18 cm in length. Now I always get it and have been as high as 18.4. That seems to have come back closer to 18 as I have begun the R phase. We will see what it is after the R phase has finished.

As for girth, I have probably gained a quarter of an inch. Yes I know, I measure length in cm and girth in inches. Don’t know why. So from around 5 inches to 5-5.25. Interestingly when I am lying back my girth is lower than when I am seated. I theorised that I am stilling on the hidden part of the penis making it harder and fatter. To test this I crossed my legs high up and squeezed. This applys pressure to the hidden penis and I topped out above 5.25.

My penis defiantly feels heavier and the flacid hang has been amazing.

Good luck.

Well, I guess gains are gains are gains, and you may get both, or one or the other. I’m pretty sure Xeno used IPR cycles to go from eight inches to nine in length. Doing a routine that places an emphasis on stretching for length rather than squeezing for girth should yield a result that is in line with the effort. I[‘m sure others have seen length gains as well. IPR is more a way of working then resting, then working again, than a set of exercises dedicated to increases in one measurement or the other.

Just lightweight stretching, multiple clamps, with erect bending and some brief high pressure pumping at the end of the sets. I went easier than you did.

On my phone searching my log is annoying. My “Reflections” log has the routines, each has IPR in the title and is between pages 14-20.

xeno explains his theory on why multiple clamps yields length gains. I don’t have enough of his terminology down pact to explain it though. Length was why I got into IPR though.

Thanks. I’ll look it up.

My gains rate has been about 1 cubic inch per year. Xeno’s is about 2 ci / year.

So like you said it will vary a lot, mostly based on each individual’s propensity to gain, but also somewhat on their decisions to self-optimize it.

My experience has been that IPR most likely offers a similar post-newbie gains rate to other work/rest schedules, but the gains are more reliable, they take less overall time, and are safer and healthier due to the regular long rests.

I’m kind of thick headed, or at least it’s been a while since I’ve had to do any geometry. One cubic inch would mean how much of a length vs. girth gain? About three tenths of an inch each way?

Edit point. It is a cube where height, width and length each are one inch. Still having trouble picturing it as “wiener gains”

Girth gains have an exponential effect on volume gains, while length gains have a linear effect, so it will depend on what your current size is.

Some reference points, rounded off:
12 ci : 6x5
14 ci : 7x5
16 ci : 8x5
17 ci : 7x5.5
18 ci : 7.5x5.5
19 ci : 8x5.5
23 ci : 8x6

Cool. Much thanks for that. Makes me wonder if it is tougher to gain when you start with a larger mass, because that will require more energy to increase and expand in size, or will it be easier because you already have so much more material to do the ol’ cellular mitosis thing. Really can’t wait to get started, but I keep wondering if I should kick things off this weekend, or wait and decondition for another week. Hmmmmm…. It will be four weeks this weekend, which isn’t long really. But I was just jelquing and Bathmate pumping four days a week, so maybe my dick wasn’t in a state of maximal toughness? What to do, what to do?

I think the sweet spot on R-phase time is 1-3 months, with 2 months being about perfect. That said, I am like you and get excited to start up again. Most of my breaks have been 1 month.

Right? Like I have nothing to do but read Thunder’s posts and plan my next campaign.
