Well, I'm checking in after my "shock" workout today. It wasn't all that great. I only managed about 200 wet jelqs (took me 30 minutes tho', so that's not so bad) and my EQ wasn't very good throughout the workout - my Holds were pretty much flops. I didn't stay engorged during the holds for some reason... I have trouble holding a grip on the Hold for very long (my hands get very sore) and I think because of that I was losing engorgement during the exercise. Not too sure what to do about this - I've heard some guys use the Jelq Device to do holds, which I'm thinking about doing. The pipe insulation still hasn't come in yet though, so I can't really make the device. I tried using just the canning tongs, but I still lost the engorgement with those too.
I wasn't very plump post-workout either (nothing new there)... However immediately after the jelqing I was fairly plump, but I think that's just the engorgement from having a semi-erection for the jelqing.
I'll continue with the week off and see if my EQ improves with the break or something. I've been taking L-Arginine at night; I started fish oil capsules and a multi-vitamin today. I exercised today as well as started my healthy eating, so I hope it will just be a matter of time now until I start losing fat and gaining muscle.
Hey JonPop, if you read this: I've seen you talk about using the jelq device yourself - have you ever used a home-made version for comparison? I thought about getting the jelq device, but the price is pretty steep which is why I originally looked into making it myself. I'm curious if the price is really worth it. I'm hoping to get into more intense jelqing sessions with the jelq device, since my hands just don't last during a very long workout. |
