Log for 2008

[beavertaffy]

Hey all. The gains from 2007 weren't that great. I had been fully plateaued before that though so I'm not 100% disappointed. I also tried some new methods. Since the most rapid gains I got were when I was hanging (girth gains too), I am going to start this year out hanging again. I bought a vacu-hanger to do it with. Also, I'll be starting the year out taking Yohimbe every couple of days, taking a lot of vitamin C, getting a good amount of B vitamins, and getting a lot of fish oil. Once in a while I will get some extra L-Arginine.

Looking back at last year, the two months to emulate most seem to be January and July. The two main things that these months had special to them was hanging for January, and both had good variety.

01-01-08
Coronal ridge circumference: 5.125 (sat on edge; following the angle of the ridge)
Girth at thickest point: 5.5625 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Girth at thinest point: 5.125 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Bone Pressed Length: 6.875 (standing, legs wide, hips forward)(reached this measurement just barely)
Estimated volume: 15.6227
Estimated volume w/ coronal ridge circumference factored in: 15.1992

02-01-08
Coronal ridge circumference: ?.????(forgot to do this, but it seems like its increased)
Girth at thickest point: 5.5625 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Girth at thinest point: ?.???? (didn't record this right away and forgot what it was by the time I did write it down)
Bone Pressed Length: 6.875 (standing, legs wide, hips forward)
Estimated volume: 15.6227ish
Estimated volume w/ coronal ridge circumference factored in: 15.1992ish

03-01-08
Coronal ridge circumference: 5.3125(sat on edge; following the angle of the ridge)
Girth at thickest point: 5.5625 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Girth at thinest point: 5.1875 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Bone Pressed Length: 6.875 (standing, legs wide, hips forward)
Estimated volume: 15.8059
Estimated volume w/ coronal ridge circumference factored in: 15.6836

04-01-08
Coronal ridge circumference: - - - - - (sat on edge; following the angle of the ridge)
Girth at thickest point: 5.5625 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Girth at thinest point: 5.25 (sat on edge; perpendicular)
Bone Pressed Length: 6.75 (standing, legs wide, hips forward)
Estimated volume: 15.6995
Estimated volume w/ coronal ridge circumference factored in: - - - - - -
Ps. I may be best off limiting my PE in areas other than hanging because in the upcoming months I'm going to need all of the free time I can get. Hanging is just a potential exception because of the ability to read while doing it.

(12/30/07) - I'm counting this as 2008 because it was after I measured for the end of 2007.

Pumping:
20 min @ 4Hg w/ heating pad
5 minutes relaxing
20 min @ 4Hg w/ Heating pad
*cool water ADS for an hour or so
Vein was sticking out a little bit.

Yohimbe:
note: don't take yohimbe at night.

Late at night masturbated pretty hard, lol. It's doubtable, but maybe having an official start date on new years will make it so I am better about not doing it, particularly rough like that.

(12/31/07)

Hanging:
1.25 lbs x 10 minutes
--5 minutes relaxing w/ heat
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes
--5 minutes relaxing w/ heat
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes
--5 minutes relaxing w/ heat
notes: It felt a little better when I wet the inside of the sleeve. I'm not sure, but I might have gotten slight blisters just at the edge of the right side of my head. I'm real glad I went with the vacuhanger instead of a clamp style one; I see a little bit of potential for head gains from this.

(01/02/08)

Intense Clamping:
8 min
Hanging:
1.25 lbs x 5 min
Intense Clamping:
8 min
Hanging:
2.5 lbs x 5 min

note: got dots, hanging seems great though.

ADS: did the vacuuhanger leg-strap thing for about 2 hours while i played video games today

Pumping:
20 min @ 4Hg
5 minutes relaxing
20 min @ 4Hg
*went right to bed after

Beaver: Happy New Year! Here's to gaining more in 08'

What hanger are you using, by the way?

Thanks Remek, Happy New Year to you too! I'm using the vacuhanger made by the auto-extender people. The only other thing I've tried was the homemade swim cap method, and this is worlds better than that. I could leave this on all day without circulation problems. Also, I don't want the extra skin/hassle that seems to go along with clamp style hangers. Not to mention I could use some head gains and this seems like it might help a little with that.

(01/05/08)
Hanging:
2.5 lbs x 10 min
Clamping (Intense):
8 min
Hanging:
2.5 lbs x 8 min
note: workout got cut short because I got a visitor

(01/06/08)

Hanging (SO):
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes
--5 minutes relaxing
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes
--5 minutes relaxing
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes (with 100 quick pull back kegels done half way through)
--5 minutes relaxing
note: good PIs from this. I think I will make a habit of incorporating pull back kegels into hanging when I do it straight out.

an hour or so later:
Jelqs:
200ish (some were varied to be more like a base push through)
Reverse-Jelqs:
100ish

Note: I've still been keeping up with the Yohimbe every other day; I just haven't bothered writing it down. It seems to make a solid difference and I seem to be one of the lucky people that doesn't notice the side effects much, as long as I take it earlier in the day.
