I’ve been on this routine faithfully now for 10 days, and I’ve hit 8” BPEL - on my off days - a few times; not always. And my girth has plumped up quite a bit (haven’t measured girth recently, more focused on length).
Two observations:
(1) I prefer to do the impaction workout in the morning - better wood, and it holds up better throughout the session. I understand your reasoning for doing it PM, but that just doesn’t work for me.
(2) I don’t know if others have had this problem, but if I extensively hot wrap before jelqing, it kills my wood. My unit becomes like a wet soggy noodle (perfect for stretching, btw), and by the time I finally get it to jelqing level, the warmup seems to have been circumvented anyway. So, regarding the impaction workout, I hot wrap AFTER I’m done. For the traction workout, I warm up - extensively - both before and after.
But its a great workout. I do my jelqs with a full stroke, about 85% wood, and very slowly. I’ve only done the 440 holds minimally, but I finished the workout with that sadsak modified movement - damn, it is intense. I find that I’m sporting a partial chubber throughout the day.
And one final modification: I do kick in some regular V’s - but not to the extent of the inverted V’s. I feel that it gives me a more complete stretch.
Owing to the oddities of my life, I don’t know how long I’ll be able to maintain the workout; hopefully, very long. This has given me the impetus to go for 9 (Piet’s wood is very impressive). And that’s just 1 more inch for me. I think if I can give this workout a good 6- to 9-month run, I’ve got a legit shot at 9 (and my midshaft should be well over 6.5 probably).
