Progress thread Keeping myself accountable!

Okay thanks so much. I was at about 6 hours in I think. I think where I went wrong was not reapplying powder. It was quite warm so I think moisture accumulated and caused pressure/rubbing. I have bacitracin and zinc oxide lotion. So I should be able to take care of it. Going to take it easy until I'm completely healed. Was thinking of trying to get expressive stretches in maybe, but want to be careful.

you nailed it! Now you know what it is so it will never happen again. You just need to make some slight adjustments with baby powder and how long you’re under pressure. I’m sorry that you have this to deal with but at least you learned a lesson.

Thanks for all the help! Have been following your advice, and also using castor oil to protect/hydrate the skin. The blister maybe has a few more days before it’s totally gone.

Thank God! What a relief, I am so pleased you were patient and did not end up making things worse. Patience is a virtue!
 
Just coming in to update my log with the latest modification to my routine. For all my sets inside the pump during 5x5x3, I now do hardcore stretches the whole time. I alternate between straight out to the middle, straight out to the right, straight out to the left, straight down, down to the left, and down to the right every 30 seconds. And wow, the stretch and expansion after that session has been crazy!

Crazy is exactly where you should be! LOL I’m so happy to hear things are working as they should!
 
Just upgraded my pumping setup with the MityVac! I'm just wondering what pressure I should be going at when doing the 5x5x5 with this pump?

start at 5hg and progressively work towards 10 hg over a month. I want you to see at least a quarter inch of expansion, hopefully more.
 
Wanted to capture my first real update. I was inconsistent at the start and had to deal with moving and starting a new job, so I had lost my initial gains. When I started back up on March 21st 2021 my measurements were:
BPFSL: 6.75
NBPEL: 5.5
EG: 5

From then until now, after having a dedicated routine for only a few months my stats are:
BPFSL: 7.25
NBPEL: 6
EG: 5.25

Nothing too crazy, but definitely happy with the progress so far and excited to see where I'm at when the 6 month mark comes along.

To me every gain is crazy! I am so proud of you my brother and I hope you use this as a springboard to bring you to the next level. It is such an awesome day when I hear one of my brothers has made growth. God bless you my brother I think my prayers for the brotherhood are coming through!
 
@DLD My silistretcher broke and I have a new one on the way that (thanks to the awesome customer support team!). I was wondering what I should do instead of using the ADS all day to make sure I'm still making progress?

don’t worry about losing any growth, your assets should arrive within four days and nothing is going to happen over that time that will be detrimental to your training and growth. You could do some more basic stretching in the meantime but other than that just be patient and get back to work as soon as it comes in. I’m very happy to hear that the sales team did such a great job
