I figured the progress forum is the most appropriate place for this since there isn't a no progress forum.
Background: I started PE in August 2010. I did the JP90 program for 90 days on a 5 on 2 off schedule. I noticed some new veins and better flaccid but no gains.
In November 2010, 3 months after starting PE I continued with the Jelqing, stretches and kegaling but also started using an imrovised extender/ hanger. It was actually closer to a hanger but instead of weights I attached it around my foot to apply tension while sitting. I would usually do 3 20 minute sets and was jelqing for 40 minutes or more by this time.
In January 2011, about 5 months after starting PE I discovered my first (and only) gain of .25". I was thrilled I finally eeked out a gain. I continued doing all of the above but increased the amount of sets with the improvised hanger but saw no more gains.
In May 2011, 9 months after starting PE I received an X4 extender and added extending to my routine. I continued doing all that I mentioned above but quit the improvised hanging. I also started doing ulis but much more informally than my other routines. I think I subscribed more to the length first theory and wanted to take one thing at a time.
In August 2011 (approximately) and after reading about the TGC theory I discovered I was tunica limited and pretty much quit doing everything but extending. Some where along I discovered that if I applied constant heat while extending that I could stay in longer and that it was much more comfortable. I wonder if that prevented gains. Maybe it was in too much of a relaxed state to cause any deformation.
In April 2012 I reached the 1000 hour mark with the extender. The majority of the time I was extending at about 1000 g of tension. Although I have added about an inch in bars and my BPFSL has increased by about an inch I have not gained in BPEL since the .25" gain 5 months in. I continued extending for a couple more months but quit keeping track of the hours. I probably did another 200 or so hours. 1 year and 8 months of PE and all I have to show for it is .25" length gain and maybe a EG gain of 1/10" . Pretty frustrating considering many here gain 1" X .5" in the first couple of months , some in just a few weeks.
In June 2012 I threw in the towel. I resumed with the extending in September only this time I don't use heat while extending except for about the first 15 minutes until I work my way up to max tension. Up until last week I have been having a hell of a time being consistant. I was pretty consistant before but I got close to nothing for it so its very difficult for me to stay motivated. It feels like this stuff works for everyone but me.

BPEL -6.75"
MEG- 4.9"
BPFSL- 6.6"
Current:
BPEL- 7"
MEG- 5"
BPFSL- 7.5"
Goal:
BPEL- 8"
MEG- 5.5" to 5.75"
Supplements: Mens multi vitamin, L- arginine, zinc, garlic, ginger root and green tea.
Saturday 10-27-12
Warm up (hot water bottle): 15 min.
30 sec stretches: 3 down, 2 straight out, 2 up, 2 left & right. (Am)
X4: 3 hrs (am), 1 hr (pm)
After shower 30 sec stretches: 2 down, 1 up, and 1 straight out (pm)
Comments: The majority of thr extender time was spent at the middle line or a little past (1000g - 1200g). The majority of my previous extender experience was at about this tension also. Experienced some very minor sharp type pain/sensations after both extending sessions in the left CC area.

Are you sticking with extending then? or will you move to hanging soon?
