Believe me when I say I understand your frustration. I used an extender-only routine (scared of more girth growth) for three months with few gains and alot of bad EQ and such. HOWEVER, there is hope! The guys above have given you solid info, and you just need to find the routine that works. There are so many different routines on TP that I”m sure you’ll find one that works for you.
Ie. It sounds like your routine is different than the one that worked for me. I used a modified Mem’s Momentous Rapid Gains Mechanism and it worked where other routines didn’t do anything at all. I believe that it worked because the exercise grouping hits all of the points for both length and girth. Also, it’s a two-a-day thing with one hot routine (shower) and one stretch session.
I’m a huge fan of the two-a-day split routine setup, and have been playing with some other things to do in the hot routine to decrease girth gain speed (I gain girth easily). I also find that I can put a good amount of tension on the stretch in my afternoon sesh after doing the routine for a while. Gains have been great in both dimensions.
Check it out! I would put a link, but I”m a posting newb and don’t know how to do such things!
Dedication is the key. Just like working out, you have to get it into a routine.
