I don't recall when I first joined this group, but started with a 7 x 5.5 (base, 5.25 mid shaft). I just measured this morning and have reached 7.5" in length, and just a tad gain in girth. I wanted to reach this 7.5" goal by the end of the year so I'm ahead of schedule, so for the remainder of the year I'll concentrate on girth. My end goal? who knows, but the elusive 8 x 6 (mid shaft) is my minimum goal. Thanks for all the great info guys.
