Padawan787's progress log

[Padawan787]

Hi!

So I have decided to start a log In order to track my progress and hopefully get some input from more experienced users. This log will be getting weekly updates as opposed to daily updates and will outline my PE routine, Kegel routine, supplements taken and any (hopeful) gains.

Stats:

Starting BPEL: 16.5 cm (6.5 inches)
Starting MSEG: 12 cm (4.7 inches)

3 month goal

BPEL: 17 cm (6.75 inches) ----- ACHIEVED!
MSEG: 12.7 cm (5 inches)

1 year goal

BPEL: 19 cm (7.5 inches)
MSEG: 14 cm (5.5 inches)

EDIT:
Manual routine from November 2011 until June or July 2012 - Gains = 1cm
Hanging routine started November 29th 2012, log starts here: Hanging

So, first update to the log.


I started PE at the end of November but had to stop for about 3 weeks in January due to exams and an ingrown hair on my penis which stopped me from jelqing. This extended break was actually quite beneficial though as I used the time to concentrate exclusively on my kegel routine and I was able to research the theory behind PE exercises and the refractory period, which is the main reason why I came to this site.


When I started PE (November to January) I did the JP90 program on a 2 on 1 off basis, but I never really felt that I was getting a good, intense workout. During my extended break I came up with a more intense routine that I believe is still beginner friendly, This is what I have been doing for the last 2 weeks and I have had positive PI's so far:


5 minute stretching:


2 Straight out x30sec


2 Left (held against thigh) x 30 sec


2 Right (held against thigh) x 30sec


2 Straight up (against stomach) x 30 sec


2 Tunica tugs (straight out) x 30 sec


(I do a few helis between stretches)


15min Jelqing:


5mins OK jelq


5mins V-jelq


5mins Ok-jelq


I jelq to a metronome for constintency and do a 4sec stroke for an OK jelq and a 5sec stroke for a V jelq so I do 150 OK jelqs (600/4) and 60 V-jelqs (300/5)


Warm down:


Shower


-----------------------------------------


I no longer warm up as I rely on the release of energy from hysteresis during the stretching part of my routine to warm up and prepare my penis (Penile ligaments and connective tissues).


I perform this routine twice a day, once in the morning at around 8 or 9 when I wake up and then I do it again in the evening when I get back from class. It is not particularly intense compared to other routines but it is a lot more than I was doing initially. The added volume makes it feel more intense than what I was doing from November to January but the 8-10 hour rest between sets means that I don't feel fatigued and I will hopefully avoid injury.


I do this routine on a 4 on 3 off basis, monday to thursday, and then I take Friday, Saturday and Sunday off as this is when I see my girlfriend and I don't want fatigue or overtraining to affect my erections.


Kegels:


I now do more reverse kegels than kegels to try and improve my pelvic floor balance, the kegel routine is also my best bet of improving my refractory period. This is my current routine:


30 quick kegels x3


5s held kegel x 6


10s held kegel x3


30 quick RKs x 4


5s held RKs x 8


10s held RKs x 4


I may need to increase the reverse kegel to kegel ratio though. This is also done on a 4 on 3 off basis.


Supplements:


I currently take a standard multivitamin, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, yohimbe, zinc and I drink between 1 and 2 litres of green tea a day. When my finances improve I will add to these

2nd update: 9th Feb 2012

Routine summary

Couldn't PE on Monday as I was at my girlfriend's house in the morning and then again at night, I will PE tomorrow instead of resting in order to make it up. My girlfriend will be gone visiting her parents for the weekend so EQ won't be a worry, I might even PE on the Saturday morning as well since I won't be seeing her.

I have slightly modified my routine this week, my OK-grip jelq stroke has been increased from 4 to 5 seconds, and my V-Jelq stroke has been increased from a 5 to a 6 second stroke. I will technically be doing fewer reps (120 OK / 50 V) because of the time increase but the quality of my jelqing should be better.

Also, after the morning workout I do my Kegel and my reverse Kegel routines, however after my evening workout I only do my reverse Kegel routine. I hope that I have now found a good kegel to reverse Kegel ratio

Observations and questions

I have noticed that when fully erect I can now move my penis in any direction, right and left until my thigh and down until it is paralel with the floor. Before I started PE I could barely move my erect penis down, let alone to the side, without experiencing some pain or tightness. Is my newfound flexibility a sign that my ligaments are looser or more supple?

As I only do 10mins of stretching does anyone feel that I am slacking in that department? Should I do more stretches?
Same question for jelqing, I do 240 OK jelqs and 100 V-jelqs per day (combined total of both sessions), should I do more? maybe add on another 5min jelqing segment to my routine?

Could anyone suggest a V-jelq alternative that is easy and beginner friendly? I am positive that my technique is correct but I get much more expansion from an OK jelq which is odd as I think that it is meant to be the other way around! also the V-jelq is the only girth part of my routine so I would like to replace it as I don't particularly like doing them and I don't feel that they are working as well as they should be

EDIT: Also noticed that I have a newly visible vein down the side of my penis, hopefully means better circulation and vascular performance!

Final observation is a positive one! Today I edged straight after my evening PE session, I was still in the bathroom in front of the mirror when I was edging and my penis looked fucking HUGE I haven't seen my erect penis in front of a mirror for ages and whenever I have an erection I see it from the top down, so I was really surprised to see how big it looked in the mirror while edging! It was probably slightly larger due to the post-workout ''plumpness effect'' but it was still nice to see, and I haven't measured since November so when I measure again I will hopefully have a nice surprise

Supplements

Also, I just ordered LOTS of supplements from amazon which I should be receiving on Monday or Tuesday this is the list of what I will be taking from next week onwards:

standard multivitamin - Taking it for general health, and the B vitamins which are good for reducing the refractory period

ginseng - One of the 5 G's, good for circulation (I think)

ginkgo biloba - One of the 5 G's, good for circulation

yohimbe - Aphrodisiac, I was told that it is also good for the refractory period (has done fuck all for now though!)

zinc - Important for sperm and testosterone production

Vitex (chasteberry) - reduces prolactin, so should be good for refractory period

Maca - Enhances libido, apparently high in amino acids too

L-lysine and L-arginine - essential amino acids, I always see them recommended on the site and I know that they are important for something, I just can't remember what! lol

Plus lots of green tea, and lots of garlic and cayenne pepper in my cooking


Thanks for reading!

Think I will replace V-jelqs with UVs and add in one 5min segment of UJs in order to evaluate them and possibly incorporate them into my routine full time

The UJ: The Ultimate Jelq (The UJ)
The UV: http://www.pegym.com/forums/penis-en...te-vs-uvs.html

[Padawan787]

Small update, Just did my morning PE session, and UVs are fucking awesome! definitely keeping them in my routine permanently, much more effective and satisfying than normal V-jelqs However, UJs were disappointing, My technique might be wrong but I think that I will stick with normal OK grip wet jelqs for now

Question: I used to do v-jelqs straight up but since the UV uses an A-grip it is easier to do them straight out, I also OK-jelq straight out and this means that I will be doing all of my exercises in the same direction. Is this ok or do I need more variety?

Hey mate nice Log. I personally added time slowly to each exercise over the weeks i.e 1 or 2 minutes a week, depending on how my penis felt. I ended up with a routine that was huge but i felt it worked for me. Recently i have backed off abit due to other reasons but i have always thought that was the way to go with PE.


I noticed you said you don't warm up anymore, i see where you are coming from in your therory but it's very dangerous mate and is an injury waiting to happen. I should know. Nothing worse than an injury when you are on a good run of form, especially when it was easily avoided. That's just my view though.


Another good thing to do is swap your stretches around with jelqs in the routine (do jelqs first), i like to do this because i believe that Penis Confusion really works. I will change it up around every 2-3 months depending on how i feel the it has all gone.

I will stay tuned to your Log, i am very interested to see how you get on with them UV's and UJ's! Keep us posted.


By the way, good to see your ingrown hair has gone. Good luck for the future mate.

[Padawan787]

Thanks for commenting gymboi

Ok I will add stretches incrementally, maybe 2 extra 30sec stretches a week

I know that I really should warm up, I have researched that theory and tissue is definitely more susceptible to plastic deformation when exposed to heat, but after seeing DonJelqers79's thread on the inefficiency of current heating methods such as the rice sock etc. I'm not going to bother warming up until I can afford to buy an ultrasound-machine

I'll keep you informed on the UVs and the UJs, but I am resting until Monday so you'll have to wait

[Padawan787]

A bundled stretch is when you twist your flaccid clockwise or counterclockwise before stretching right? and they are good for girth? I might incorporate them if they are good for girth

[Steve23]

Yep, start with a half turn maybe then in a few weeks a full 360 turn then stretch it after it's turned. Adds girth.

[Padawan787]

Great, thanks for the quick reply steve!

I will be adding 2 30sec stretches a week until I basically do what I'm doing now twice, then I will add the bundled stretches

So I will start in 5 weeks time, are bundled stretches considered to be an "intense exercise?" will I have enough conditioning to start them?
