I expand on it here: Double Powered Clamping: Analysis

I’ve been analyzing it for the last couple days. This is my own experience. It may not be yours.

Hey TG, I can’t seem to find it on your thread, what angles are you hanging in?

Only straight down. I mentioned that was the purpose of the hanging chair.

Doubt I’ll experiment too much with angles honestly.

tg, can you say what your overall opinion is on jelqing? Some say it’s the backbone of girth work — that it works well itself and other girth exercises don’t work nearly as well if you don’t also do jelqing. But others say it’s a poor use of time. Just curious what your personal experiences have been given how successful you’ve been in achieving girth.

Jelqing is a great starter exercise. Everyone evolves their Jelq style. Additionally it is a good source of gains once mastered. But I topped out on jelqing early due to EQ issues.

That said, the ULI #3 and clamping are my manual exercises of choice for girth.

Thank you for writing this post, tg. I started jelqing at around April last year starting off at around BPEL 6.2 and EG 4.8 and stopped around late August at BPEL 6.8 and EG 5 but I have an end goal of BPEL 9 and EG 6. I’ve been looking around for inspiration to get started again and this is one of the most inspirational stories I needed to hear. I’m a newbie here and I haven’t made a post yet so I figured now would be a great time to reach out and say thank you for the info you’ve provided and the inspiration.

I truly appreciate your kind words. If I can inspire then the greater part of my purpose here is fulfilled.

You definately inspire.

I am curious if there is any member who actually inspired you in PE, in the beginning yk?

I can’t remember his name. But he was a PE Gym legend in my mind. His signature went something like….

“PE feels good, getting bigger feels good, can’t stop, won’t stop” with 11x8” as a goal in his signature I think.

And he had stats over 9” years ago. I cannot be more precise on the quote and I can’t be sure if he isn’t long retired but his attitude of just going forward and screw convention and it was his choice…that made me realize it’s my penis and it don’t matter what anyone think if I want to get to ANY size.

I was intimidated by most veterans but him, I liked.

Today measuring girth at my now solid 6.25” MSEG at my mole I look back. Originally my EQ was so bad I could only measure girth with an OK grip at the base to stay hard enough long enough. Now, I measure it free hand with a 9-10 EQ measure.

I put an OK grip at the base and kegeled like I used to, just now. That is 6.5” MSEG now. And I remember when the most I could get was 6.45” from a pump after a session.

How far I’ve come without realizing it. I’ve felt much thicker lately. And it…simply is the truth.

Additionally a local medical spa facility offers the PRP Shot. It’s $50 to do a consultation and I may do that to ask more questions and get clarity on pricing and how they perform the procedure. I want to finish with PE in the next two years and any accelerant I can take with low risk is worth the expense to save time.

I will post again with my findings after the consultation, whenever I get around to it.

I know I’m getting towards the end of the road in PE. I am happy with it. I’ve done so much. But I want to get rid of my gear. I have so much it is sprawled about my room. I need to sort through it all and I have more than what is listed (if I find all the pieces) and I want to simply remove it all.

I have my hangar and pumping equipment and clamping equipment. But…that’s going to be all I’m using. I’m truly done exploring. I want to take the positive research I’ve gathered, combine it into one whole and make one last big push for the goals I’ve set. And then…

…I will just stop.

I have set a date in my mind. After that date, it’s maintenance. It just is. I can do PE forever but…there is a LOT coming up in my life that would not get my full attention it deserves and I can forecast when it happens so I’ve set a date accordingly. If I hit my goals prior, I’ll stop prior. If my life kicks off prior, I’ll stop prior. But…that date is it. I’ve doubled down on PE again, opening up my budget and looking at expensive options (hence playing with the LG and probably getting a PRP shot here soon) but…I am doing in favor of time.

I have decided the countdown must start, otherwise I will simply persevere like I have for all these years. My tenacity will not let me rest without my goals so I have to set a limit of time so that I don’t just power through to get them. I get that tenacity from my father. It can be destructive. I have seen it be destructive. I have to meter it just like I tempered it.

The date isn’t close. I’ll mention when it is. But…mentally, I have to start the winding down process and take the view of PE as someone with a limited time left at it. The “All the time in the world” mentality works fine…when you truly have that luxury. I no longer do and no longer wish to.

To give some idea of the worth of jelqing or other high pressure work, imagine the system of roads. Motorways take the major traffic, and then branch onto main roads (in the U.K. we call them A roads.) Then they have turnings onto B roads, and finally small roads, lanes and finally tracks out into the lesser reached boundaries. The blood system works on a similar way. In a weird reversal of this concept, I myself suffer from a condition called Reynaud’s disease, where when my hands become cold, the blood actually shuts off from the small capillaries etc in my fingers altogether. In hot weather the reverse is true and my hands become quite “full.” Imagine this system in your penis, it’s all to do with conditioning and getting those smaller blood vessels to open up- on a regular basis. Eventually when conditioned, they will do this automatically and a larger erection should result. This also helps to deliver nutrients and hormones etc to the outlying areas. Any form of work where more fresh blood is squeezed into the penile tissues (without causing harm) has to be a win/win situation with regard to P.E.

I went to a doctor today to get cleared to go back to work. Another measurement of 71 inches. It says to me that spending all of my 20s at 5’ 10.25” was unneeded. That the world has the limits you allow it to.

I’ve never felt so alive and empowered. I believe I’ve gotten 4 identical measurements from 4 different nurses in different facilities. It’s time to update my Driver’s license even!

I’m excited because, much like PE, the law of attraction directly manifesting from thoughts into reality is verboten. Frowned upon. Poppycock. Balderdash. Even in our community of people who daily toil against social convention to get bigger. Me touching on my height change has gotten directly contested by other PE practitioners. But the view of the world that allows you to grow your dick is the same view of the world that lets you continue to manipulate *any* aspect of your body.

It is all in your interaction with this plane of existence. I repeatedly will tell anyone that will listen that limits serve you no positive purpose. Discard them and define your world as you will and love it all the more for it being what you wanted.

Congratulations, truly motivating, thanks for letting us know!

Reading all the other evidence about anything on the internet, nothing compares to a recent post confirming it.

Also very nicely put. I like that win/win part. But my guess is we should do damage as well to see gains.

I mean it’s just my experience. I’ll take it but I don’t expect anyone else to.
