Newbie routine done

So I’ve gone through with the newbie routine and I got to say I’m sad I didn’t gain as much as some have, but not discouraged.

I gained what I think might be .25 length and no girth sadly (really aiming for girth seeing as my stats are 5.75 BPEL and 4.0-4.5 girth.. Its hard to measure girth lol my dick goes soft whenever I try.)

Now that I’ve conditioned myself I think with my bonus from work I’m going to bite the bullet and buy a bathmate (unless someone has a suggestion for a different pump) a clamp, and a ADS. I will still do minimal manual work but honestly I just don’t have the time.

Anyone else do ADS for the work day, then get home and pump / clamp? Recommendations on where to start with a routine would be great! Thanks :)

Just because you’re done with the recommended length of the newbie routine it doesn’t mean you’re ready to go straight to all the advanced moves at the same time. I’d stick with the newbie template adding some time to manual stretches each week like you have been but start adding in uli’s or horse 440’s to target girth

Mate I’d love to but like I had said I really don’t have the time, I can’t spend the only two hours I have during the day doing manual workouts. I’m not going to go straight balls to the wall either, I’m going to ease into pumping / clamping / ADS stretching. Besides aren’t horse 440s an extreme workout? I feel like saying not to do pumping/ clamping then saying to do extreme manual workouts is pot to a kettle.

Something to consider is to only change one thing at a time. I think fallen05’s advice is pretty sound, but if you’re eager to start using equipment, I would add one at a time and give each one at least a month or two (or more) before you think about adding or changing another variable. There’s no way to tell what’s working when you change more than one thing at a time. And whether it’s with equipment or with your hands, everything takes a while to work on and perfect form. Wishing you luck as you take your next step.

P.S. A lot of guys have expressed concerns with the bath made and wished they hadn’t bought them. Every now and then I see somebody who likes it, but there’s a lot of concerns that you can’t really measure pressure with it.

I appreciate your input! I’m actually taking it into consideration and only going with a pump. I also didn’t get a bathmate because of the mixed reviews on it. I’ll pump for a month or so and see what kind of gains (albeit temporary, I like to think of it like working out, you stop lifting your lose muscles) and go from there.
