Hey,
Essentially you've hit a plateau, but there are ways to get beyond it. As I've said elsewhere on this AMA, incorporating some form of expansion routine used for girth will weaken the tunica and chambers and can greatly benefit your progress. Combining that practice with more time under tension can really help keep your PE journey going. Some vac hangers and extenders are designed to be worn for multiple hours if the tension is 10 lbs or less. Its generally a good idea to use the device for an hour, remove it to restore circulation, then reapply, You can do that for many hours if the weight is low. The higher the weight, the less time you can tolerate under stress usually. Also, the higher the weight, the greater the chance for injury. I've hung up to 45 lbs with the most powerful hanger available (max load 100+ lbs) and found it worked better as a shockloading method before discovering I didn't need near that level of weight to replicate BIB's success. His success was based on the time he wore the device, not the amount of weight. I've seen countless guys get 2" of length gains just from extending/light ADS/hanging for hours and using tissues weakening methods, so the practice I describe is well proven.
Hey M9, very informative so far.
I have a question regarding length vs girth and your advice to avoid manuals initially.
To preface, I got a phallosan forte a few months back, in the hope to gain some length before focusing on more girth related exercises.
At present im ~ 6.5 bpel and ~4.1-4.3 eg. I was using the medium sleeve and medium bell for the phalloson but the medium sleeve would often eventually slip due to lack of suction, medium sleeve slightly too big due to my small girth. (I should note that I seemed to gain ~ 0.25 in length with 2 weeks of consistent use, but which I didn't cement)
I started using a rubber band to keep the seal, which while effective, i didn't like.
So I decided it might be wise to gain a little bit of girth initially, using Big Al's jelq free routine with squeezes for girth.
Given the anecdotal evidence that length before girth is better, and your advice of devices before manual, would you see any issues with doing manual squeezes initially to gain a bit of girth so that I may start wearing the phallosan effectively?
And given you mentioned that it is beneficial to breakdown the tunica before length work, could doing manual girth routines before extended phallosan use actually be potentiative to the phallosan use? Or do u think all manual exercises (squeezing as well as stretching) will lead to thickening of the tunica and will thus potentially hinder length gains?
Hopefully I was concise enough. Your help would be greatly appreciated. This has been my main dilemma and sticking point the last few months.
