Reflections and Progress: thoughtfulgold

The path forward is always through empowering yourself. Surmount limitations not obstacles. Obstacles are placed before you defined by the limits they are based on.

Maybe it sounds like too much flowery talk but look at a physical obstacle. Like a large cliff or mountain. The only way forward is up the mountain or down the cliff. You can fight either. But what if you opted to fly and ignore the obstacles because you ignored the limits that forced you to face them?

Think outside the box. What is stopping you this moment is not what is holding you back long-term. Obstacles are a symptom of limits.

Yes

This in mind is the greatest weapon.

I like the way you put it with “obstacles are a symptom of limits”.

Do you watch Joe Rogan by any chance?

No. But I have. I like some of his broadcasts.

Hey man I’m sorry if this question has been asked many times but I want your answer for it. Do you gain NBPEL and BPEL at same rates or is it different and how does BPFSL change?? I’ve read many posts but can’t seem to find answer for it. I’m fairly new to PE and I’m collecting informations. Also your journey is very inspirational you made me believe. Thanks in advance.

Your question is going to have a different answer depending on who you ask. Sometimes my BPEL and NBPEL change at the same time. Sometimes only one changes.

I do not measure BPFSL very much. I don’t use it so I can’t speak on it.

I am glad to inspire you.

Hey TG, about bpfsl, I wanted to ask you something since you’ve meddled with both extending and hanging, and all the other…

What is your opinion on the semi erect stretch? Mine is roughly the same as bpel, actually the exact same because of my curve reduction (my guess based on numerous measurements throughout 9-10months of PE). Does your semi erect stretch measure the same bone pressed length as your oringinal 100% BPEL?

If the question is off topic on your thread feel free to delete it, and maybe pm me or something, or not! I am just asking out of curiosity, I want to track my gains this way from now on fwiw because my bpfsl increases tremendously at times especially after heavy hanging.

I don’t use BPSFL. So I’ve never tracked it during a semi-erect stretch. When I first learned about that measurement I was still learning about PE and I didn’t want to complicate my process with too many numbers. And now that I have gotten very far into the game I don’t need to use it because I can configure my workouts without measuring BPSFL.

So I can’t tell you very much about it, it simply wasn’t part of how I did PE and it still isn’t really part of it. I check every so often since I’ve been hanging but I haven’t seen a pattern and am willing to just put my time in.

That’s interesting though, I always wished to achieve that “mental state”, also found some related “how often should one measure and how during PE” discussions around, so I am basically thinking this could be a slight issue of mine to constantly measure. I found what you said interesting because you’re one of the few who don’t rely on measuring to notice gains. Thanks for the answer!

I measure. I measure a fair amount in fact. I just don’t track BPSFL. I mean I try to not measure as often but I’m only human. That said, if you know what you’re doing is working and measuring isn’t making you change your routine…do not measure as much. It offers you nothing.

I am looking to learn something today. To crest a high mark of gains and knowledge that I’ve built for nearly 10 years.

Pictured below is my things laying in wait for the 1st pumping session after the shot. Packed in my bag is also my manual pump and cylinder configuration just in case. I told the doctor I had my own automated setup.

He looked at it and didn’t bat an eyelash. Asked where I got the idea for it. Said it was similar to his setup. Knew exactly how it worked.

Things he didn’t mention (but claimed he did in the stubborn old man way) were the need for briefs or boxer briefs post procedure and to eat first, though I did do that.

So it really is about me. Being careful to avoid abrasions and just making the most of this. This is just one goal of many. The sooner PE goals are reached the sooner I can devote more energy to the rest of my goals.

More thoughts to come.

Godspeed TG, best wishes for a fruitful outcome.

Keep us posted.

Very excited for you!
