You gotta be very, very wary of outlandish claims of extreme gains in such a short amount of time. Two inches in four months is VERY uncommon, and most likely it is due to one or several factors:
1). Improper or inconsistent measuring (ie not holding the ruler in the same place, not knowing HOW to properly measure, etc etc)
2). Poor EQ during first measurement, IE he wasn’t as hard as he could be when he first measured, then he got a rager on the second measurement.
3). He’s full of shit (it’s more likely that he thinks he’s telling the truth and simply did one of the two things listed above).
4). Maybe it’s true. But it’s highly, highly unlikely. From what I’ve gathered over almost a year of lurking/being a member is that it takes around 1 year on average for people to gain 1 inch of length, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. But most people say about a year. TWO inches in four months tho…that’s crazy and probably untrue.
I see a LOT of outlandish, freakish claims of fast gains on other forums, PEgym in particular, which is why I tend to stick to Thunders. PEgym can be a good ‘backup’ source of info if you’ve used the search function on Thunders and still can’t find what you’re looking for, but for the most part it seems that PEgym is comprised of younger, less ‘realistic’ posters. I think there’s more scamming going on there than here, because it’s slightly more profit driven (penis device ads all over the place, etc etc). I think a lot of claims there are bullshit, but here it seems to be 98% genuine. Another problem with most of your members being young guys migrating from sites like Bodybuilding.com, etc is that they are still growing naturally. You can never really know how much ‘gains’ are from PEing and how much are from natural growth if you’re still only 18, 19, 20 years old! Dicks can grow until you’re around 24, so I tend to really get excited when I read about gains from a guy in his 30’s, 40’s, etc. Thunders has the best source of info and also the most older members by far of any other PEforum, as I’ve delved into them all quite often.
Good luck to you, as everyone has said, stick to the newbie routine (I actually recommend starting with the Linear Newbie Routine, it’s an even lighter routine that can still give you gains while helping you avoid injury. I got injured w/ the newbie routine, it’s too many reps for me). Do a search and you’ll find it. I’d suggest doing manual stretches only and excluding the penimaster for now, because an ADS device is much more intensive and ‘advanced’ than a manual stretch regime, which you can still gain from. In the end, you’ll gain more from starting slow and doing the lighter routines first than you will if you jump right into the heavy stuff. You wanna use up each option one at a time until you have no gains, then move onto the next most intensive exercise when that previous one stops giving you gains, kind of like steps on a staircase. AKA, if you use up the tallest, most advanced step first, how can you expect all those little shorter steps to help you gain when you finally plateau? You’ve conditioned your unit for the advanced stuff prematurely, so that the lighter stuff won’t be as effective. Start light and SLOWLY work your way up. That way in the end, you gain the most you possibly can. Again, best of luck.
