Welcome back! Happy to see things back up and running. There's been a lot of changes since my last update and have welcomed the new year with new gains and newer challenges.
Long story short, I have regained a total of 1 inch in the space of 1 month, which really exceeded my expectations. Since my last update in December I have stopped PRP and mostly used wrapping for elongation as my main routine along with mild stretches during the morning, only pulling in a downward direction. I realised the importance of keeping stretched throughout the whole day and can manage to stay wrapped for an average of 12-15hrs per day, only removing during showering & sleep.
The following week, I resumed
Lengthmaster work. My routine consists of 30 sec straight
BTC pulls ×3-4 sets, followed by bundled
BTC stretches the whole way through (easing my way from 1 full rotation to 1.5).
After my workout, I
strap myself into my extender for only a few hours (only in a downward direction), but at a moderate level of stretch. Have used the same routines to this date, however the difference is that I've truly been able to feel an inner stretch during & post workout, unlike when I was using similar routines approx. 6 months ago. No workout has ever felt like a wasted workout. I mean not much changed routine-wise but it's like my penis has gone through a fresh start since my last losses in size. Perhaps it's due to my penis feeling less dense after losing girth, I guess it supports that theory about tougher penis cells being resistant to change in length (to reference previous posts).
Back to my routines, lost additional girth in my second week. One week after that, 0.5 inches in length were regained, I'm able to tell the difference in length when I try on my sleeves. Continued the same routines while keeping the same level of intensity and one week later another half inch was gained. Grateful to be closer to my length goal, however this has created a new obstacle for my penis.
Upon gaining in length, I've simultaneously gone further down in girth. My length gains appear to have dug into my natural girth size and I'm skinnier than usual. Natural glans size also went down. Yes I did find this pretty alarming (even noticing how I fit differently in my extender), but now I've realised that I have to introduce girth training going forward.
So yeah currently looking to put some girth back on so it's back to an acceptable size, but especially must do so without going backwards in length!
At this rate, pumping would be the most viable option as my
Bathmate gave me my first girth gains last year. However looking at upgrading to a new pump (potentially
Mityvac) to keep my penis safe as it includes a hand pump & gauge. It would also be great to make progress in EQ as penis feels more limp, just worried that the loss in girth would deteriorate EQ in the future.
Overall, I guess one of the key takeaways is that solely focusing on length can cause a sacrifice in girth and vice versa, it seems like that theory about the length vs girth ratio has proven itself again.
Another thing I've learned about PE is the importance of keeping intensity at a low-moderate level as going into stretches hard and fast can force the penis into a resistant state, hence more turtling.
Aside from pumping, I'm still looking to continue my length routines as there doesn't appear to be any signs of plateau in length. Of course this probably means that the gains will come a bit slower but at this rate trying my best to avoid any losses. Keen to see what else I can gain during this time.
