Took a look at the Initial Girth Poll and its results, and compared them to the Present Girth Poll.

Initial Girth: 4-5" = 21 people / 52%
Present Girth: 4-5" = 61 people / 51%

Initial Girth: 5-6" = 16 people / 40%
Present Girth: 5-6" = 68 people / 39%

Initial Girth: 6+" = 3 people / 8%
Present Girth: 6+" = 17 people / 10%

Even though the Initial Poll only has 40 responses vs the Present Poll which has nearly 4 times that many (146), the results are virtually identical.

Can a poll be constructed where the responders can check a before and after in the same poll? That way we would be looking at the same people. Also, since a lot of guys only read the Beginners Forum, maybe putting it in there would draw more responses. The same kind of poll if possible could be made for length. Problem with this poll of course is it does not take into account how long someone has been at this.

If there is any interest in this I could simply start a thread and people could post all their before and afters, along with how long they have been at it, and then I could average it out. We talk about how people vary with how much and when they will see gains, but this might be a way to give all of us at least a little info into how we are progressing compared to others. If I did this, it would help encourage others to post if the heavy hitters responded to it. A couple of factors would still be left out of the equation however including how often and for how long peoples routines are, and whether or not they incorporate devices into their routine.
