CrusherBrooks's stat tracking and notes

Crusher, great to hear about your commitment to diet, exercise and PE. Well done!

I go into ketosis fairly regularly for extended periods of time, it does not impact my EQ or libido. I also will fast regularly, 23:1.

How is your caloric intake relative to energy expenditure? Are you currently cutting and if so how quickly?

Best wishes Crusher!

Hey LittleEngine,
I’ve gained like 4 kg since I started to do keto. That’s about 1 kg per week. Fat measurements say it’s all fat… lol. Not sure I’m doing this right. Gym performance has been really good though, I’m adding weight to everything, so I appear to be getting stronger with less muscle mass. Since I’m nowhere near unhealthy levels I don’t see these fluctuations as a problem, though it doesn’t seem sustainable. It’s just very easy to over eat since fat has such a high energy density.
What do you mean with 23:1? 1 day of fasting for every 23 days? I might fast for another 2 or 3 days this weekend before I go back to work on the 2nd.
May the gains be with you! (they’re eluding me for now, and they gotta be somewhere!)

Well you are definitely in a caloric surplus, so we can rule out calorie restriction as reasons for less libido.

I will fast 23 hours each day and have a 1 to 1.5 hour eating window.

Have a great New Year Crusher and big gains to us all in 2019!

W139D6, second day of fasting
Lower body at the gym yesterday, upper body today. I pumped yesterday and the day before, though yesterday I had to cut it short after the second set cuz I kinda released in the tube upon insertion (I kegeled most of it away). Still finished the set, seemed fine. I’ll do some jelqs and kegel today, and pump again tomorrow. Tomorrow is a (gym) rest day but it’s very important to keep moving so I don’t lose my muscle mass.

I need to focus more on some EQ related exercises since it seems something is reducing my EQ (winter? keto? pumping? I don’t know). I should just never skip kegels.
Other notes: firegoat rolls every now and then throughout the day seem to really reduce discolouration. The longer the warmup, the less spotting occurs. Don’t increase pressures in the first pumping set.

I forgot to mention; I’m not fasting intermittently but full-on no calories (ok about 60 calories per day with some broth to restore my electrolytes). But after my last half a week of fasting I switched to keto for a month and lost my libido. This time my libido is actually not bad despite the fast. Just some context.

W140D2, end of Xmas/new years vacation

Right! So my fast ended after 2 days and 18 hours. I lost 2% fat, measured by both calipers and one of those fancy electric scales. I lost no muscle mass, and could go a lot heavier yesterday leg day. Continuing with keto diet for another 4 weeks at least.

In terms of PE, I’ve been pumping 2 on 1 off divided in 4 sets of 10 minutes, I probably want to limit that to 3 sets due to time constraints. I’m starting to see a few mm of girth increase by using lower pressures and I’m not going up to ~16” Hg anymore. I’m starting around 4-5”. Length is so far unchanged and I’m considering adding some stretches before pumping. This has previously increased (temporary in-cylinder) length, but I never did it more than a few times. Perhaps consistent stretching before pumping yields length also. My session would then go warmup —> stretch —> pump —> jelq.

I attribute improved morning erections and girth (tentative but optimistic) to lowering the intensity of my exercises until I get no spotting whatsoever anymore. This means warmup time, pumping pressure AND jelqing grip strength. Wouldn’t it be hilarious(ly tragic) if it turns out I’ve just been going way too hard for 3/4 of my PE career?

May the gains be with you in 2019!

W141D6,

In the 11 days since my last update:

5 days in the pump, 4x11 minutes each. Though it’s hard, I’m getting better at pacing myself and pumping at around 4”-5”. Each time I make sure to enter fully erect (which means my “breaks” consist of edging), and I finish with 60 jelqs usually, light ones because I know that medium squeezes cause quite some spotting. Warmup is 12 minutes IR and whatever I need for a full erection after, cooldown is just 3 rounds of firegoat rolls and then washing my hands and unit thoroughly. I edge every now and then and I try to sleep plenty. I think going up to 4 pump days per week should do the trick. One pumping session takes me nearly 2 hours so I skip it sometimes…

I had morning and/or night wood at least 6 days (I have 2 undocumented days, sometimes I don’t write it down before I go to work and frequently forget after coming home)

I did my 50 kegels 5 times (this one’s easy, need to improve!)

Gym was spotty last week, but 4 times this week. 4 times and really high intensity. Personal records all over the place. It’s all in the mind, the body is just a whiny bitch.

I stopped eating keto during the day, but I think it’s still a useful idea for dinner, since we won’t need much energy until we go to sleep and while we sleep we fill up the liver with synthesized glycogen anyway. Hence I’m eating more keto at night, and I’m eating regular carbs during the day. I’m looking for ways to increase my during-day protein intake, since sandwiches aren’t the fastest option. Probably home cooked lunches are the way to go with plenty of legumes.

I think that’s about it! I haven’t measured much, but earlier results and current in-cylinder size were/are promising enough to warrant confidence in girth gains. Length would be a nice extra but I think girth is king. I’ve already bottomed out my girl on rare occasions, anyway. girth girth girth. May the gains be with you!

W142D2

Since I noticed I’ve been a little bit under my targets, here’s a more frequent update

Good: for the past 6 days I’ve had solid morning/night wood or morning wood with very little stimulation. I tried to sleep a tad earlier, this seems to have helped.

Kegels every day since Saturday. Pumping Saturday, Sunday, and today. Tomorrow is rest and gym, but I’ll still kegel.

I should plan a few measurement dates making sure I measure at least 48 hours after my last pumping session, and then measure over the course of a week or 2 to see if anything really changed. I think I gained a few mm of girth.

Good luck everyone!

W148D7,

I’ve been taking a break from PE for a while. Winter dip got me and I gave in to laziness at the gym also. I’ve been able to keep up twice a week or so, but not my intended 4. Maybe that’s just too much anyway.

I haven’t gained a sliver in the past 2 years. Maybe a mm or so, but nothing noticeable, and nothing permanent. Size seems to be gated by EQ, and all exercises do for me for now is increase EQ. Maybe that should be my goal for a while, just to maximize EQ. I mean I wanted a tad more girth but what for? I’m already pretty big. Any conceivable complaint about small size would, at best, be due to HER unrealistic expectations (not that I ever got any complains). And do I really want to measure myself by my dick size? Not really.

How do I maximize EQ? From an analysis of long-term methods… By sleeping enough. And staying in shape. And eating well. And doing kegels. On top of that, 15-20 minute edging sessions (or angion method-type exercises, are those still a thing btw?). Occasionally I’ve gotten painful, insane morning wood by clamping or girth-heavy manuals… But not consistently. All sorts of PE is good for the occasional true GLORY in the morning, but from my experience not consistently.

Let’s get back to fundamentals. Life fundamentals. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy dick. I watched a youtube video the other day about MMA. The guy said something like “truly advanced techniques are good fundamentals executed consistently and expertly. They are the things that work Under Every Circumstance.” (paraphrased)

PE was good to me. It taught me a lot. It didn’t make my dick that much bigger, but it made it much BETTER. PE has lots of fundamentals, and I think it’s time for me to step back and get truly expert at those fundamentals, and apply them in those ways that Always Work.

May the gains be with you.

Thanks for getting this out Crusher.

I’m coming up on what could be a year with no length gains, it is what it is.

You are right, you have a great size and an inspiring attitude to go with it. I’m going through a bit of a reset myself right now, taking that step back to gain a broader perspective. It’s good and necessary for the body, mind and soul!

God speed Crusher, looking forward to seeing you around!

Hey LittleEngine,
Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes it seems a step back is just what we need. In fact I think everyone needs to re-assess and relax a little every now and then. Hope it’s treating you well, and maybe get you back on that gains train again!

W150D7
I’ve been keeping this log for 150 weeks now?! Well… *shrugs* I guess.
PE: I’ve been doing everything. Just what I feel like doing, at an intensity I enjoy. I did low intensity and low duration manuals last week (even as few as 60 jelqs can result in serious spotting!), and this week I’ve been hanging. For between 1 hour to twice one hour, and from 2.5 kg to 3.75. Whichever I felt like. Today I also pumped (in addition to hanging for 75 minutes) for 3x10 minutes with great edging in between. I’ve been kegeling, I’ve been edging. But not with a frustrated eye on the ruler, just as a hobby. My IR lamp died, its replacement should arrive on Tuesday.

The death of my IR lamp forced me into the bathroom for my washglove warmup to pump today… Away from my screens… Man, the erections your mind can conjure up when you’re not distracted! Somehow it must be possible to incorporate it into a routine.

Gym: I had a measuring session a week ago, and I lost 3 pounds of muscle! Damn laziness… So last week I went 4 times (10 minutes warmup, 1 hour machines/weights, full body stretch, 10 minutes cooldown and power pose). It’s been intense. I cut everything from my diet which has -Added sugar -Had dietary fiber removed from its ingredients -Added fats/is fried. I’ve been stuffing my face with everything else and I’m already seeing great improvement… Though it’s hard to get enough calories and protein this way.
Keep on keepin’ on & may the gains be with you

W151D7, I guess this thread is starting to be more or a less a weekly report, huh

I’ve been hanging. And pumping a little bit. Hanging for about an hour a day or until it starts to hurt (more than a little bit). Sometimes 2.5 kg, sometimes up to 3.5. Yesterday I only managed 20 minutes, other days I manage 90. Really depends, doesn’t it? The base half of my dorsal column is permanently sore or fatigued, which I think is the aim, stretching that steel chord.

I’ve been pumping after hanging, so sometimes not very enthusiastically. However the new IR lamp is amazing and allows for much deeper pressures without discolouration. I’m doing whatever many sets I have time for in stretches of about 12 minutes; 10 minutes on 6” and then 2 on 10”. So far no spotting.

I’ve been measuring off and on, and since I don’t take rest days for hanging the results are of course temporary at least in part, but it looks as if… I’m gaining. I’m measuring 195 mm pretty consistently now, and girth is solidly over 135 all the time… I measured 136 and 137 today without a doubt and I haven’t pumped since Friday. It seems the high measurements are slowly outnumbering the average ones… Might I actually break through my 2 year plateau? Tune in next time for Dragonball D.

May the gains be with you!

W152D3, short note

So I noticed that sometimes it’s hard to get a full session off. Oftentimes it’s because of intense soreness in the base (which is the right way to end the session) and sometimes due to sharp pain in the tip (which is wrong). The latter isn’t actually caused by any damage, rather by pinching on my foreskin when the weight tries to unroll the miles of excess skin I have. In order to prevent this, I now use a stiffer tape with more adhesive strength on top of the more sensitive tape, and use an extra layer of silicon sleeve on top to stabilize it. Result: no more rolling, no more pinching, but still good (and bearable) adhesion and good sessions. I finished a second set yesterday after 55 minutes at 3.75 kg (8.25 lbs), edged for only 4 or 5 minutes at night, and woke up with the hardest morning wood in a long time.

Master your basics.

May the gains be with you

W154D7,

Checking my notes since last time… I continued to hang or stretch since previous update, I’ve been kegeling much more frequently too. Hit the gym hard, so I needed to sleep more. I cut caffeine so I’m constipated. What else… Morning/night wood is pretty good, and I’m starting to believe I’ve gained a few mm, hoping slowly but surely that I’ve hit 195 mm length permanently. Girth still 137mm, but more consistently now. I also think my base girth may have increased, though that’s only in height (CS seems to have expanded for that) and the width has stayed the same. Taping up for the hanger is getting better as I’ve experimented with different types and brands of tape, different on-skin layers and outer layers… plus I poked a hole in the silicon cap to improve the vacuum transfer from the hard plastic dome to the head. That part really helped, I think.

I pumped yesterday and today, at pretty high pressures (7” or so). I’m also filling the larger 2” tube far more than when I started pumping over half a year ago. Usually limiting my 1.75” tube to 1 round now, and then doing 2x 10-12 minute sets or 3x 8 minutes sets in the 2” tube. I don’t know why but I really feel like the combination of the stronger IR lamp, hanging and pumping is the way to go. If I edge properly in the hot IR heat (with my other hand covering my testicles with a moist washcloth) for 5-6 minutes, and heat my unit through while in the tube (don’t shine onto the head, too hot!) then I get no large spots and very little distributed spotting. Discolouration is a different matter however, but I’ll fix that over time with firegoat rolls in the shower.

How oh how might I get that 5.5”girth?!

May the gains be with you!

Please tell us more about this? Are you using the PenimasterPro?

I think you know the answer to this question Brooks.

Hey LittleEngine…

I’m using some cheap vacuum hanger I got off aliexpress. It goes like this: tape up the glans (and tape back the foreskin in my case), then cover it with a silicone cap, cover this with a hard plastic cap. cover the ends of the plastic cover with a silicon sleeve, then suck it into a vacuum.

The silicon cap leaves some air between the glans and itself, which means that if you suck out the air, the air in between just expands, reducing the amount of vacuum and therefore the pressure. By piercing it, the air can now escape and the silicon is touching the taped head, creating a more secure pull.

I really don’t know how to gain girth though… I’ve gained next to nothing during my three years! too bad, since I’m pretty long now!
