@jordey and smerc: I'm not sure, if you caught my drift: it's not that I think I really gain very hard, in fact, I believe I've gained decently which got confirmed by the utterances of some vets here (like Asa or Zartan). I'm happy with my gains, tho, of course, you always would like to get them faster.
It's more that I think that expectations like gaining 1 inch of girth in three months are very exaggerated. That doesn't mean that some of you guys didn't manage to get there within that short time but I don't think it's the rule. You gotta keep in mind that the number of PEers posting frequently and constantly is much smaller than those who don't, thus it's not representative. Furthermore the number of those who claim to get there that fast is even smaller
As far as my training is concerned:
I can reassure you that 1. I've never been inconsistent with my training since the beginning (only had 2 breaks due to injury but I didn't lose that much, i.e. I've regained very quickly my old numbers) 2.that my training always is very intense. I get red spots almost every time which is in my understanding a very reliable indicator of intensity (or isn't it?). I'm sure one could do longer sessions than I do (about 30 mins 4-5 times/week), but that alone wouldn't get me to 1 inch in 3 months compared to he 0,6 I gained in 1,5 years.
I don't use the
Bathmate and I don't clamp but I'm pretty positive that I raised intensity in a reasonable way and in accordance to my respective conditioning. As for now that my dick feels very strained every time I do my routine, it doesn't seem clever to me to get into clamping. And I don't have money for a
bm.
to sum up: Imo, like DLD often says, it's good to have big goals, but it's even better to plan to get there with small steps and thus to avoid frustrating disillusions that can kill motivation . And if somebody speaks of 1 inch in 3 months, that seems to be everything else than a small step. And to repeat what I've said before: if that would be possible for everyone and also if it'd be possible to gain continuously that fast for those who managed to get there that fast, everybody would be 7+. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
