Hey there. I've decided to start up a progress log on this forum to track my gains and hopefully get input from other members on my routines and things.
Here's some background info on me:
I started PE a year ago (I think it was even May 14!). I started up with a Monday, Wed, Fri routine for 2 weeks (5 min warmup, 5 min stretching, 100 wet jelqs*, 10 min warmdown) and then moved on to a 5 day on / 2 day off routine. I was fairly steadily gaining for the next four months (I added in an extender after the second month, if I remember correctly) - about a 1/4" each month in length. I haven't gained in girth. The gains stopped coming after that and I decided to take a short break (4-6 weeks). It was pretty convenient since I stopped around December (holidays with family and all that). I started back up on January 7 restarting with this routine (Mon, Wed, Fri):
* Note: I've consistently done wet jelqs with an overhand OK grip, sitting down (leaning back a bit in bed) and pulling semi-down from my pubic bone. This seems to hit the sides of my penis more-so than the top and bottom.
5 min Warm-up
5-way Stretches
5 min Wet Jelqs
5 min Engorging
10 min Warm-down
I gradually increased the routine to 15 min wet jelqs by February - however I stopped doing stretches for some reason. After the month of Feb (going into March now) I decided to switch up my jelqing routine to sets again, like I had originally started with and made gains on, so my routine now looked like this:
5 min warmup
4x60 (240 reps) Wet Jelqs
10 min warmdown...
This was still a Mon, Wed, Fri routine.
On March 10th I started up this routine:
2x30sec A/V/C stretches *
5 min warmup
4x60 Wet Jelqs
3x20sec* Holds
10 min warmdown
* I've consistently done stretching before my warmup to let (at the time) my heating blanket warm up - it took a little while.
I later added in a 10 min engorging (edging/ballooning) before warmdown.
March 24 routine was as followed:
2x30 sec A/V/C Stretches
5 min Warmup
5x60 Wet Jelqs
3x30sec Holds
10 min Engorging
10 min Warmdown
march 30th:
5-10 min Warmup
6x60 Wet Jelqs (1-2 seconds), really focusing on the Jelq technique and blood flow *
Interspersed between every 2 sets of Jelqs will be an Uli exercise for 10 squeezes.
3x40sec Holds
10 min Engorging
10-20 min Warmdown
I normally do 3-5 second jelqs, but I hadn't been seeing any gains so I decided to try something different.
I followed that pretty consistently (Mon, Wed, Fri still) until about April 10th where I found the TGC Theory cruising around on Thunders'. I determined that the smooth muscle seemed to be my limit and after that switched my routine from mainly length-based to primarily girth based...
April 11:
5 min Warmup
Jelqing 5 min normal erection *
Jelqing 5 min 80-90% erection *
Uli Squeeze (5 reps)
Holds (3x30s)
Flaccid Bends (4x20s)
10 min Engorging
10 min Warmdown
* Still an overhand OK grip, pointing out/down.
After this my routine's been switched up a lot. For example I tried doing wet jelqing at 10+ seconds (which is very difficult for me for some reason because I have an issue with my hands becoming VERY sore during the workout).
Most of April was actually taken off because I had family over. I think I was mainly confused about what to do in terms of exercises and my failed attempt at long-rep wet jelqing was kind of discouraging. So most of April was taken off. Most of May has been this routine:
5 min Warmup
100 Dry Jelqs
3x40-60 second Holds
10 min warmdown
Dry jelqs really hurt my hands (like even after 25 reps) for some reason. To partly remedy this I looked into a Homemade Jelq Device. I got the tong can-opener part of the jelq device and now I'm just waiting for the foam piping (self-sealing, even) to come in the mail. It's taking its sweet time in getting here, but hopefully I'll be able to do more intense jelqing exercises with it.
This month I've also started up kegeling again. I go back and forth on it because kegeling really makes me shoot faster (I have trouble controlling my PC/BC muscle, which I'm going to hope to fix by practicing edging & controlling my breathing).
I've sadly not done enough of a workout to see if the TGC theory works for me or not, but I seem to fit the theory quite well (unless I'm totally misunderstanding it).
My measurements:
--- STARTING ---
BPEL: 7"
EG: 5.25"
--- CURRENT ---
BPEL: 8"
BPFSL: 8.5"
EG: 5.25"
EQ: 6-8 (on average - if I'm watching porn or very aroused though I can get to like 9-10)
I recently bought the book Exercising the Penis: etc, etc etc that is the companion to this web site. It was a good read - not exactly full of stuff I didn't already know (since I've read so much on Thunders & other sites - although I'm changing my warmdown to a cooldown now, which will actually save me like 8 minutes lol), but the reference for exercises and stuff is really nice to have. Reading through it is giving me some encouragement since I've hit a plateau for such a long time.
So anyway, let me get straight into what my current plan is:
- Change my diet: I'm going to be starting up a Paleo diet to lose weight and increase my health. Fat will be the primary fuel source for me, very likely, in addition to hopefully getting adequate amounts of protein.
- Start Exercising: In addition to the diet, I'm going to start exercising. Basically, I'm really fat lol. I think that's apart of the reason I started PE in the first place - my penis looks a lot smaller with my body fat % where it is right now than if it were, say, at 10% body fat. I'm going to be following the workouts in the Men's Health Belly Off! Club.
- Start taking a multi-vitamin and L-Arginine. Should be pretty self explanatory.
- I'm going to do a "Shock" workout this coming Monday. I've taken today off from what would normally be a PE day to give that 2-3 rest day before the shock workout day and I'll be taking 6 days off after the shock workout. I'll do something like this:
10 min Warmup
1-2 min light stretching
800 Wet Jelqs
6x60 Holds
Cooldown
- As for PE, I'm going to start varying up my routine more often. Every 2 weeks I'll measure, as well as during those two weeks watch my PIs to see if the routine is doing well or not. One thing that's been odd for me throughout my PE journey is I've never been very plump post-workout. I want to change this. I don't know if it's my jelqing technique that's at fault (probably is), but I want to remedy this somehow. I think it will also help to change my diet and take L-Arginine for bloodflow and such.
After the Shock Workout week I'm going to start this routine:
5-10 min Warmup
1-2 min Stretching in all directions
10 min slow Wet Jelqs going vertically against belly
1x30 Backwards Uli Jelq
1x30 Slinky Bends
10-20 min Engorging
Cooldown
I'll be starting this up with a Mon, Wed, Fri routine. After the 2 weeks I'm going to measure (although I'm not really expecting any gains that quickly), take stock of how my PIs have been, and modify my routine. I might add in more exercise days, but it will depend on how everything's going. I've also got the means to do Clamping, but I haven't added it into my routine yet. I think I've been hoping to gain with just manual exercises and I'm a little nervous about clamping, but I'll definitely give it a shot if it will help me with gains.
I hope this post hasn't been too jumbled. Thanks for reading, and if you have any advice or thoughts I'd like to hear 'em.
