I'm with Texas on this one. The gains from manual PE come so slowly that it's hard to mentally accept that any progress is being made.
And when you go of just visuals, doubt can always creep in (e.g. Is it just how close I'm taking the photo? Is it the lighting? etc.)
Tape measures are a great way to have definitive evidence of growth, even for one's own sake. I've also spent so much time reading complete BS progress reports on forums such as PEGym/Thundersplace that I'm a bit jaded at this point. If you're willing to upload even current measurement shots of your 8.25x6.25, I'd be very interested to see that.
With all that said,
@wishes
if you've measured yourself and you know that you've grown, then nothing else matters. So congrats!
I know you had an old PMMA log on Phalloboards v2.0 in which you got two rounds of PMMA. Many members have reported that pumping interacts poorly with PMMA, making it feel lumpy for some time afterward. With such an aggressive routine, have you experienced anything of this sort?
