Ever wondered why extender manufactureres never claim 100% success rate? The figures I see is 95%, 97.5%, 98%, etc. This is even even true for studies where they do their own research on their own device where they obviously want the best results possible.
The reason is some people literally can't gain no matter what. And when you can't even gain from extenders.... --> your PE career is done.
So here comes the juicy stuff, which is why a certain percentage of the population can't gain, and it has nothing to do with dedication. I also believe the figure is a bit higher than the figure given above. A figure of around 5-10% being unable to gain is more reasonable. There's largely 2 different reasons people can't gain:
1) The first reason is environmental based, psychological based, physical based and maybe even genetics based and it deals with having a tense pelvic floor. Just think about it. How can you actually gain from extending/stretching/hanging etc if you have constant tension in your pelvic floor / penis? It can't relax, stretch and gain. People in the hanging business also often talk about hanging until "fatigue" since that is when gains occurs, how would that work with an overractive, tense PF(pelvic floor)?
Looking at the figures of how common having an overractive/tense PF is, it actually also kind adds up mathematically that this portion of the population can't gain /struggle really with gaining. This is a figure from wikipedia of how common it is (I assume that if you have CPPS you also have a tense PF):
Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, also known as chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), is long term pelvic pain and symptoms with urination without evidence of a bacterial infection.[3] It affects about 2 to 6% of men.[3]
How many have tense PF, but not CPPS? Add that to the figure. Another thing worth pointing out is that CP/CPPS and probably tense PF as well occurs way more frequently for people aged 50+, so subtract that from the calculation (since vast majority of people who do PE are probably way younger. At this point our figure is around 2-10% or something. So it kinda adds up that these people realy struggle with gaining (if they can even gain at all). Hence we get the 5-10% figure of people not being able to gain, if you combine this with the point below.
2) The second reason is more or less purely genetics based and it deals with ligaments/tunica/tissue toughness. All the extender studies are pretty clear on this: Gains from extenders COMPLETELY STOP after about 6 months of use. You can visit any study and they'll confirm this. The reason the extenders stop working is because of ligaments/tunica/tissue toughness that's built up as a response to the exercises (in this case extending). And this is where the genetics part comes in. Some people are LITERALLY just born with this type of toughness from the gecko making it close to impossible if not impossible to gain. So when they get an extender for the first time, they literally can't even gain.
Most people who can gain can gain around 0.4-1.1" from extenders, some with really good genetics can gain 1.5", and people with bad genetics can't gain a thing. Inb4 someone says, just up the tension bro, just get a hanger bro, just up the force bro. Here's the thing. People have tried. I can't prove this to you, but I've been making mental data points of people making posts in the neighborhood of this (ie talking about trying hanging after they're done with extending, etc). And what I've found is that hanging as a whole have pretty lackluster results, but even more so if they reached their "genetic potential" with extending first. I've yet to see a single person really gain anything from a hanger after being inccapable of gaining more from extenders (having reached their "natural/genetic limit/potential").
