Hey Guys,

Back with an update to my stats. I had to measure a few days early as I have to leave on a trip and will not have the opportunity while traveling. Was supposed to be on the 15th, instead it's today.

So my new stats are:

NBPEL: 8.4" (BPEL: 8.6")
MEG: 5.3"

So I saw a length gain of .2" in the last month, which takes me to a total gain of .9" inches in 3 months. I am .1" shy of my length goal, I am positive I will break the 8.5" barrier by March 15th (next measurement). I have also seen a visual difference in my curvature now as well, it's hard to measure progress here but I can actually see it so that is good.

I also saw a .1" decrease on my MEG. I did change my girth routine recently and I think it might actually be TOO intense for me yet. The SSJ's I added are really beastly. So either I am going to dial back on number of sets for jelqs and SSJs or add an additional rest day in for girth work.

The other option is to simply bite the bullet and buy the Bathmate and focus on bathmate work for girth. I would really like to hit 6.0" in girth before May (my wife and I have a vacation in June, and I would like to come ready to rock), even more then I would like 8.5" in length. However, straightening has to come first so I think the SG routine has to stay solid. Once I hit 8.5" in length and I am straight, I will decide if I want to continue on to 9" or not. I would like to, but I need to consider my wife's feedback at that point too, if it's becoming too much I will stop working on length actively.

Thoughts from some of you experts on this are appreciated.
 
Girth can be a tricky bastard to measure. Besides the fact that where your mid shaft is has absolutely changed with nearly an inch gained in length, sometimes the more intense work will put it into a "leave me alone" kind of state. Also, girth gains are going to vary along the shaft because some work hits different spots harder and that's just how it is.

You should consider measuring at multiple points. If you notice a "landmark" vein or some kind of distinguishing feature you could try that as well. Bottom line is that's probably going to move also. I have a 6 inch girth base for an extender I like to use. It gets stuck higher and higher up as my girth would increase. You could measure the SG and see if that's satisfactory for you. Otherwise girth measurements are easiest to track right under the head and right at the base.

Only other suggestion is consider the x40. If you're not gaining as fast as you want that thing will give you an epic pump. I like to mix that with edging with a ring and the pump I get is just downright destructive looking.

Really good shit with the gains. Hope to join the 2 inch club myself when I hit 8.5 bpel. Must be awesome to have a .2 fat pad. You said you were following SRT to the extent you can without bathmate?
 
I want to tell you how proud I am of you for the gains you have made, excellent work. Girth dropping a tiny bit is nothing to worry over, I went through the same thing in my beginnings, length was coming like gangbusters but girth would not budge. It really needed to shift the way I thought about girth and change my attack. Super-sets are what made the difference for me. Back then I used a few older exercises in succession but today I would use more modern efforts. BathMate + SlowSquashJelqs are the method to the madness of girth. The SRT 5x5x3 has become very famous for good reason, it works.

Thanks so much for the encouragement bro. I am going to bite the bullet this month and buy the bathmate x40, I think those supersets are what I really need to be doing. I sent you a PM asking for the right link to get the MoS membership, discount and ensure that MoS gets the referral/kickback for my purchase. Just wanted to make sure the link on the top of the forum page is still the right one. Once I confirm that, I will be pulling the trigger on the purchase.

You guys are awesome!

Thanks for the tips bro, I will start trying to measure at multiple points.

I am lucky to have always kept myself in pretty good shape, the .2 fat pad is the result of years and years of training and consistent good diet (minus my weakness for ice cream, it's my kryptonite). I am keeping to the SRT as closely as possible with the equipment I have, SG and my hands and mind. I will be adding the bathmate shortly too.

Definitely run with the x40. I started out at 5 and outgrew the Hercules very quickly. It will feel very odd but try to push through unless you feel a tearing type of sensation. If you get that, release some pressure and pump back to a safe level. You probably won't get that using the comfort tube, but you should try it without it once you're used to the feeling. You can get a lot more pressure out of it that way.

I go in flaccid usually these days but I'd say any level of erection makes it easier and more effective. You'll notice the pressure does gradually decrease over time. It's best to space out getting to max pressure a few times throughout the session. Nothing about it is cozy, but the after effect and gains are easily worth it. If you can get around to a verbatim routine of SRT then you're pretty much good to gain whatever you're after.

I'm personally thinking 9x6.5 or close to it. What are you looking to wind up with?

You guys are awesome!

They are working for everyone else so you already know they will work for you. Maybe you could even win the BathMate through the monthly contest.
 
X2 for a bathmate. Love em. I couldn't even begin to tell you how awesome they are. Whichever you buy, you won't regret it.
