As of today, I decided to completely stop performing erect RKs and see what happens to EQ.

I just remembered that I used to hold a strong RK when I measured BPEL before I decided not to include them in my erect work - probably another reason why I can’t seem to reproduce the measurements I got pre-EQ recovery.

No BPFSL measurements yesterday, today and tomorrow. I am moving places and got super busy lately. Looking forward to getting back to it now that the skin at the zero is 90% healed.

Moving countries turned out to be way more time consuming than I expected it to be… no stretching apart from very few casual stretches here and there since 19th of January but I’m getting back to it when things become less intense for me.

Here’s my first official BPEL measurement pic 😀 I am really happy that the camera is at least confirming what I’m seeing from above, as I often had some doubt about whether or not I was looking exactly at the measuring point. I should add that the pic comes from video screenshot and that I cropped the pic for privacy reasons (unedited shows measuring point at the center of the camera (a bit below though), but if there’s any doubt feel free to PM me and I’ll send the unedited one.

Hey, I just found this thread. Any gains since then?
Hi, I admit I haven’t kept up for long after my last post here. Things have moved pretty fast for me (now that I live in another country), and I simply was too lazy to continue.

It’s quite frustrating to me because at times, I tell myself I have a pretty big size to begin with so what would be the point of continuing. Other times I get a bit insecure about it and decide to get back to pe. The whole thing becomes a waste of time since I’m lacking the consistency.

FWIW, I did take another BPEL picture and I was able to reach a tiny bit more, but really it’s nothing, just enough to be noticeable. But again the supposed « gain » was so small I can’t help but think maybe it’s not a real gain but more swelling of the glance than usual, or something else.

I will post the updated BPEL pic as soon as I’m back home :)

I took this photo back in March or April, don’t remember the exact date..

As you can see it shows what looks like almost 1/16" of gains, even though it’s so insignificant, it is fair to say I couldn’t get past 8"1/8 BPEL when I took my first BPEL shots (see previous photo). Im pretty sure I took another photo the night before and also noticed I got past 8"1/8 BPEL. I will post it here if I find it.

Right now I have no idea what my BPEL is, so I’ll do a BPEL measuring session on Monday or Tuesday and post results.

So yesterday I did a short BPEL measuring session and was able to reach 8" 1/4 a couple times. At this point I have no idea what my official BPEL is, so I guess I will have to find out by measuring BPEL for a week. I will post the results and go with the most consistent measurement while making sure I measure the exact same way.

I want to add that I won’t measure my BPFSL before I get my most consistent BPEL measurement.

BPEL Monday:
8" 1/4
8" 7/32
8" 5/32
8" 1/4

BPEL today:
8" 3/16
8" 7/32
8" 5/32
8" 1/4
Didn’t really feel I was at max today, and this time I forgot to make sure the measuring point is at the center of the camera…

Will try again tomorrow!

I did a long edging session today, with several BPEL measurements. This time I made sure I was bone pressing as much as possible while keeping the ruler parallel to the floor and making sure the center of the camera was pointed at the tip.

8" 3/16
8" 1/4
8" 5/16
8" 1/4
8" 5/16
8" 5/16
8" 1/4
8" 5/16
8" 1/4
8" 1/4
8" 1/4
8" 1/4

8" 1/4 is confirmed, but I’m not claiming it as a gain since I think I didn’t bone press as hard before! I am learning again about limiting all the variables with each measurement I take. I’ll post a screenshot showing 8" 1/4 BPEL

Here’s another picture showing 8" 5/16 BPEL. The ruler looks more horizontal here than in the previous shot I posted. Both measurements obtained on the same day. I am pretty sure 8" 5/16 is the absolute max I can reach. I feel good knowing where I stand in terms of max BPEL. My official BPEL is still 8" 1/4 since it’s the most consistent one I get.

Now I have to figure out my BPFSL as soon as I wake up tomorrow!

When I woke up today (around 11am),
BPFSL was a consistent 8"3/4 :) very happy that I managed to measure the same as the last time I took BPFSL measurement (post #53)

I should also add, my NBPEL is usually around 7" but when I measured it a few weeks ago, it was a good bit less than that, maybe 1/4"… so the huge difference between my BPEL and NBPEL gave me enough motivation to lose a good bit of weight. I’ve been exercising 3x/week, keeping attention to my daily calories/protein and often going on walks. When I started ~2 weeks ago I was sitting at 94 kg, and I am now 91.8 😃 it would be great getting to 80 kg or so and finding out the length of my fat pad at a healthy weight.

This morning, BPFSL was also 8"3/4. I guess I’ll make it my official BPFSL.

This is kind of good news. Back in January, which was right before the break from stretching I took until a couple days ago, I used to reach the 3/4 mark at my second session. Now I can reach it first thing when I wake up :) However, I still have some doubts in my head.. for example, did I press as hard back then as I did these last couple of days? But I wouldn’t see how that’s possible because I used to think I always had to stretch very hard to get my cock to max stretchability. Also, I think I did press as hard back then because I had a small injury on my fat pad where i press the 0 end of the ruler. I just don’t think it’s possible I pressed harder this time.

The fact remains, my first BPFSL has increased from last time and that’s what I use as my "official" BPFSL :)

I will measure again this evening because I’m curious to see how the time of the day affects the stretchability of my unit. There will be no stretching until this evening, I will just keep it at a few light stretches right before I measure as I did this morning prior to BPFSL measurement.

No BPFSL measurements this morning, I wasn’t home.

I quickly checked BPEL today and I was able to measure between 8"1/4 and 5/16 a few times. The shot I posted which shows a full 8"5/16 BPEL might have slightly been affected by parallax issues: The more the measuring point is pushed to the right side of the picture, the more inflated the measurement will be and vice versa. In the picture, the measurement point was only slightly off center. I think I can reach 8"5/16 BPEL in person, but only very slightly. Now if I measure only slightly over the mark I’m confident it will most likely be an EL gain :)
