We talk about in the community that it is best to focus on length or girth exclusively when doing PE. It's said that the load from one takes away from the other. However, people often report increases in length and girth sometimes when working on length for example.

I don't quite understand the logic here, surely axial loads will create axial damage and radial load with create radial damage. In fact I would have thought this would have been better for growth because you wouldn't get the tissues to be preferentially strengthened in one direction. When that happens you need to progressively increase the load to get the same stimulus.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I've been in the PE community on and off since 2011 and have had some okay permanent gains but want to try and maximize my results.

I've bought a bunch of long silicone gaps( 6inch long or so) which are supposed to be for pumping protection. I find them useful for ads but the only place I have found them is MOS and bought a bunch of them and every single one has ripped in the first 24 hours. Near instant if in a pump, practically guaranteed to happen when using them as ADS. They are already way over priced and them basically being useless is a really kick in the stones.

Is anyone else familiar with another source for these. I have been struggling to find them. I have also just been considering manufacturing my own.

Any help would be appreciated, I've been doing PE on and off inconsistently since 2011qnd am trying to maintain a good long focused routine. Thanks
