Making nearly linear progress on length

I’ve spent the last 6 weeks shifting my focus to length-predominant training. Based on some schedule requirements I’ve actually switched to a very simple protocol, way more integratabtle into daily life than I’ve done before and with no fancy techniques.

In this period I’ve increased 10mm of post-training length at my retroglandular sulcus and increased 7-8 mm of retroglandular length pre-training. For the last three weeks or so when things have been most steadily increasing, the gains have been coming every 3-4 days where there is a mm or two increase that seems to persist from session to session.

I mention this because right as I am making this progress I have to pause for 8 days for a long-planned camping trip with a friend. So I’m kind of bummed that my planned decon arrives at this moment.

I’ll share more about what has been working for me once I’m back and if I can restart the progress. I expect to lose some (if not most) of the gains while away, but if I can manage this same rate of increase that leads to some more permanent growth then it will prove that this technique works for me as well, or better, than a lot of the more complicated stuff I’ve been trying.

Wish me luck and see you guys when I get back.

Hurry back! Eagerly awaiting you protocol.

I have a shorter break coming up as well. Just a 3 day weekend, but it coincides with a period of steady gains. Happy for the time off, but don’t want to lose PE momentum. Life balance will be the key. My plan is to get in some weighted ADS time throughout the day when possible. In addition, I want to use the ADS an hour before showering and get some jelqs done during that time. Maybe take the Glans hanger and get some manuals in as well. As for the ADS option, I will probably take the 28 ounce but use the 16 ounce…for stealth purposes.

Tenacious: don’t want to push myself into your thread, but happy to give a report back as well if anyone is interested.

Report your progress in your progress thread. Tenacious can continue to report his progress in this/his thread.

Well, I’m back from my trip. It was 8 days in close quarters with a good buddy, mostly out in the mountains in a 2-man tent (actually a 3-man tent, but who are they kidding??? The two of us just fit…) So no space or privacy to even do a short bit of manuals to keep my guy limber.

Probably a good thing. I think it is useful to contradict the inner taskmaster that gets uptight about time off.

So the interesting thing is that I yesterday when I restarted my length training my pre-session retroglandular BPFSL only dropped 3mm (from 173 to 170mm) from the prior high point, but the post training measurement was the same as the prior high point (180mm). In 90 minutes I got 5.9% elongation with very little effort, which I don’t ever think I’ve gotten before. So there is clearly more pliability after a short break, or at least post-training there is the same pliability.

Because I only had a short window after I got home from the airport, I did hang yesterday for my training, which is not my current experiment, which is super, super, embarrassingly simple:

Moderate-to-high tension waist ADS 4 hours a day. The tension feels like about 4-6 pounds when I compare it to how hanging feels, but it is really hard (or I can’t think of a way) to measure it, so I’m going on feel. This is enough tension to be noticeable, and definitely more than is offered by things like the Phallosan, but not so much that it is so uncomfortable that I have to reset (other than the times I have to take a leak). I have had to shorten the belt to maintain similar tension several times during this short experiment, so I’m trying to keep it about the same tension over the hours and from day to day.

During the 9 days I was doing just this before my trip I was getting 3-4% elongation every time.

I know. Dumb, right? So simple. No crazy techniques, no ladder of tension, not even heat. I’m just trying this out to see if I can grow without being tethered to a desk, and in 9 days I gained 5mm of post-training length that seems stable, even after an 8 day decon.

So too early to say if it is a durable technique over time or if the results will keep going at this, or any, rate. I’m going to ride it for as long as it delivers and report back some more once there is more data.

Gents, I’ve been on a bit of a plateau with length for a while, essentially ever since my last decon in July, but really a few months longer when I see the up and down of pre- and post-session length, and I’ve been getting more and more complicated trying to solve the riddle. This time I didn’t take a decon break between hanging/high tension extending and moving over to this 4-hour ADS; I just rolled over into it and the length started increasing right away.

Fingers crossed. At this rate (not that it will necessarily keep going like this) I might be a legit 9" BPEL by sometime early next year.

BTW, I’m using a DIY waist belt I made on this thread. Ignore the first one I made on the first posts. The last version is way, way stronger and way more comfortable.

It is post #20 on the thread if you are curious. I’m sure somebody here knows a better/easier way to make the adjustable portion, and I’d love to see it, but other than having to wiggle the overlapping bands through the buckles being kind of awkward, it is really easy, comfortable and can pull some real tension.

So the simplified program is still seeming to work.

Since my last post 11 days ago I’ve used the moderate-high tension waist belt ADS for 3.5 to 4 hours 10 out of 11 days.

As of today my pre-training retroglandular BPFSL has increased 7mm (170mm to 177mm) and my post-training has increased 4mm (180mm to 184mm).

My measuring technique is consistent. Obviously I can’t say these are cemented gains, or even BPEL gains yet, but I haven’t had this kind of length progress in a really long time. I’m gaining 1-2mm on the pre-training measurement every few days. I realize 1-2mm is a slight change that could be within measurement error, but given the measurable and reproducible increases over the 10 days it seems clear that the trend is real, even if it isn’t cemented.

For completeness, the rest of my routine is also very simple and pared down:

I’ve pumped at 11inHg for two 5-minute sessions each day. About every other day I’ve soft clamped using silicone toe shields for 10-20 minutes of 10-minute sets.

I’ll report back on this every couple of weeks as long as it keeps going.

Some follow-up:

I held the previously reported BPFSL gains until 10/6, when I had a friend arrive for an extended visit. This was followed by two back to back camping vacations and another gathering of friends staying at our house. So for the last month I just decided to use it as a decon period.

I’ll be getting back to my simplified technique in about a week, so it will be about 5 weeks off. I’ll post return measurements and updates as they make sense.

I’m doing about 10 minutes of moderate intensity pumping, around 7-8 inHg, which I started back with a few days ago. Mostly to get back in some kind of condition, but otherwise it has been a total decon period without any PE at all, which I haven’t done since June last year.
