Started in 03 at 5.0 BPEL x 5.0 MSEG. I did a newbie like routine from a site that doesn't exist anymore, gained an inch in once year and 0.25 in girth. Then stalled for 2 years despite religious like commitment to PE and manual exercises. I was a teenager so some of the gains could have been natural growth.
I participated in Babbis' experiment at ? based off the IPR theory (closely related to SRT). It required me to take a decon and also look into hanging. The captain wrench sucked for me and bought the autoextender vac hanger, first edition. Got to hanging slowly but that hanger couldn't add outside vacuum and would slip around 8 lbs. I still gained 1 inch in 6 months. I stopped the experiment because I saw gains rapidly for the first time in 2 years. You can't add extra vacuum in the first hanger I add. I soon bought the Max-vac then Max-Vac II (no longer available) and then the LG (c. 2011) which is currently the best on the market. I will try the silistretcher and compare but it will be hard to beat the LG, but I'm sure it'll get the job done especially for starting out. In 08 I was 7.5 x 5.6 with base girth now 6.0, didn't measure before hanging but estimated at 5.0 because I had a baseball bat dick.
Was off and on since then because of school, work, privacy and laziness. Im coming back from at least a year off and am at 7.8 x 5.6, I've gotten up to 7.85 x 5.75 in past but wasn't cemented.
