If I could just get the vegetable smoothie down every day I’d be doing myself a huge service as I get no other vegetables otherwise. It’s just right now it’s so expensive and I just can’t afford to do it every day. Look forward to better times.
Routine Help, Please

Hows the routine going?
Hmmm, this may be a bit wordy of a response to a simple question but to be honest, I have thought of quiting the site (MoS) because I am so fecking embarrassed and not sure what’s wrong with me... and really embarrassed.
RZ, this is the very best routine I have ever done, so much better is this routine then anything previously.
I am embarrassed because I religiously did this routine for 16 weeks, missing almost no days besides the couple in mid February and had maybe two millimeter length gain.
Maybe 2mm in 16 weeks is good, maybe what I should have been expecting, but I really expected more and wanted to be able to show more for this routine. I feel like I failed...
I don’t understand why I am so stuck with my gains. I gained over an inch (25.4mm) pretty quick... shoot, I gained 1-1/2” (38mm) pretty quick but maybe I am maxed out even though that doesn’t make sense to me.
Some details:
I did max out my hanging weight at 19 pounds (shy of 9Kg). I could of pushed a bit more but that was a lot more weight then I ever expected to hang from my unit and if 19 pounds isn’t enough then... damn.
Where my head is currently... I am starting back up today after taking a couple weeks off. A couple of weeks is the longest I have taken off since starting PE a couple years ago.
When I started, I was just over 5” length and at 5” MEG. Now I am just shy of 7” but only 5-3/4” MEG (I have only done length routines).... percentage wise that is way different then my natural dimensions (was basically 100% now I am only around 80% girth/length) .
I am kinda thinking if I added some girth (~1/2”) and got the percentages a little closer to my natural percentages, maybe that will allow me to add some more length down the road....???
Whenever we come to a plateau it’s very important either increase intensity, change exercises, change routines or add a tool. I would go for what you desire most. If you’re looking for length go for a length only routine to isolate your focus on one thing at a time. The same methodology goes for girth. SRT offers a lot of advice in the way of gaining and healing especially when we reach a plateau. I would also look into the silky stretcher and the new reverse pyramid hanging, this is a very good length routine. If you’re seeking to add that girth first I suggest you use the 5×5×3 in SRT.

You haven't failed. Its just a hurdle, an obstacle at this stage. Would it be possible for you to try the reverse pyramiding that DLD created? place that into the hanging section of the routine.
How many rest days have you had?

Ignore the silistretcher part, it can be used with the hanger you got
Thank you very much DLD and RZ,
I greatly appreciate your replies.
I have to figure out which way I am going to go but at this time I am not willing to hang for two hours a day.
(I am not single or in school... those days are way behind me, LOL).
I am willing to put in 1-1/2 to 2 hours a day if required but two hours straight isolation during the summer.... when everyone in the house stays up later because it isn’t dark outside, isn’t realistic for me (I would be starting my routine at midnight each day - later on the weekend and wake up early to get to work).
Not trying to make excuses but at this time, reverse hanging isn’t realistic.
(also not an excuse but I just hung 19 pounds for 1-1/2 hours a day for just shy of 7 weeks, not fully believing that 5 and 10 pounds for 60 minutes is what I was missing, it may be but I need to wrap my head around it a bit more).

Take your time and read through it also read through SRT and get yourself an idea of how much time you can dedicate and then we will help you put together a routine that will bring you the growth as fast as possible.

This may sound counter-intuitive, but maybe this 'break' will do a hard 're-set' whereby you can almost relive your newbie status when you restart? Plateaus are a beeotch, but so are you...and you will overcome 
Never ever a problem my brother this is what I do and this is what I love.

Yeah, take a small break and comeback on a different tac.

Deconditioning is a great way to reset things and come back with a new attitude and some new exercises. No one needs to be scared of these breaks as they will not lose anything that is permanent. Anything lost during the break will return immediately upon training.
I hear ya both and I know you are correct... but I really have a challenge believing it.
I just did a two week break and that is my longest break since starting PE. Normally my breaks are 3-5 days for life stuff, not because I wanted a break from PE.
I really should prolly do a 4-6 week decon but that may put me over the edge.
LMAO

Then in that case it means you need to intensify the exercises or find new exercises and tools that will give you the proper intensity to continue gaining. If this makes sense to you I can help you write up a routine that will take all of these variables into one work out.

Let us know when your ready, what you would like to try differently etc and we can come up with something for you.
Damn you F26, lol
I will make some updates.
As I mentioned to you... I really was embarrassed that I didn't have better results from the absolute best routine I have ever done.
I really felt like I let some people down and that really got in my head.
I have had some recent success with a Length Master/Clamping routine that I feel good about, I kinda needed that.
I know I should keep doing this for a bit more to see what all I can get outta it but making some slight modifications and playing with the infrared/ultrasound stuff just seems so tempting... my biggest issue with making the adjustment (well, besides that I know better then changing a routine that is showing positive results) is all the decon part of it.

Had a decent few months changing things up, added some girth (without going too silly) and a touch of length.
Followed that with a big focus on getting penetrating heat… starting with adding space heater with the heat pad…. then doing near IR…. then mid IR.
None of the above gave me the penetrating heat in the shaft I was looking for and even tho I said ‘never’ I got pulled in by Kyrpa, Doc, LongStretch and the others applying US and reporting great results for generating a positive heat effect.
So last week I pulled the trigger and ordered a 3 MHz US unit. Scheduled delivery was mid November but the dang thing showed up at my door in 3 days.
I have done two test, the first was a failure trying to cover too much area and getting some ‘tingle’ but barely much warming.
Posted about the first day experience and received advice from Kyrpa.
His advice was spot on, day two testing and using a circular motion covering a more focused pattern, the US produced and produced so well that where on test 1 going up to 1.8 power did little, in test 2 I quickly backed it down to 1.4 power as I am not ready for that much generated heat and will have to slowly work up to this.
With much help from those who have gone before (Kyrpa) I think I am dialing things in so that I will be able to focus on my routine and the details of working on getting improved stretch.
Even tho test 1 and test 2 weren’t huge routine days I am still going to maintain the 2 on 1 off schedule, so today is a rest day and I will go back at it tomorrow.
