But I lost my 1/2" before I began taking allergy medications so I can't really attribute it to that.

Allergy medications also cause ED. They also make you fat. Might want to try bee pollen for allergies next season. About a week before allergy season hit you. If you are allergic to bee stings don't take bee pollen. I take 1100 Mg per day. Make sure your bee pollen is from the USA because bee pollen from Spain or China are heat treated and this causes it to lose its power.

I've heard local honey is good for allergies too, maybe I'll try that for next season. For now I'll continue /w Veramyst and Claritin for the remainder of this season, but I'll stop taking my Singulair now. There are some wonky side effects /w the Singulair so I was considering stopping taking that anyway.

Starting up my second week. After doing the manual jelqs I've decided I'm going to switch back to the jelq device - I remember now why I got it in the first place: manual jelqing kills my hands! Particularly using JonPop's method of jelqing, I think that's why I've never consistently done that type of jelqing - quite painful for me. So I'll just do the method with the jelq device then. No big deal; I've noticed that there's not really a huge difference in post-workout hang between the Jelq Device and manual jelqing for me (luckily). However one thing I'm going to do to change up the ease of using the jelq device is to use it standing up - that way my dick won't slide around as much, hopefully.

Side note: doing Compressors makes my penis veiny as hell, I think those exercises are definitely doing something for me - much better than Ulis and they're also easier on my hands.

I think that's all for now.

Week 3 of 12 down! I did 3 workouts this week (my schedule was kind of wonky, but I used it to - in my mind - my advantage): Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. For Tuesday's workout and most, if not all, of last week's workout I did my workout in the bath (I normally do my workout in my bedroom using a heating pad for a warmup). I wouldn't say these workouts were bad, but they were definitely of a lower quality than the past two workouts I've done in my bedroom. I don't know if it's just a relaxation thing, the steam from taking a hot bath, getting a better warmup with the heating pad or what, but I've decided I'm going to continuously do my workout in my bedroom from now on.

My workout consists of Squeezes and JD Jelqing; I've been skimping on stretches since I'm mainly concerned with girth right now. I've pushed using the Static Stretcher extender back to week 6 for that reason. I'll be adding about 5 min of straight-out stretches (very light stretches held for longer periods of time - 60 seconds for 5 sets to begin with and I'll gradually increase the time of the sets rather than the whole time that I do them) in this upcoming week's routine.

Of note, squeezes make me hang rather large after I do them (I do them as my first exercise), the JD Jelqing has been coming along nicely - my technique's improved with it. I lose my EQ a bit faster with it than with manual jelqing, but that's not unexpected and I think with time I'll adapt to it. I've learned to use the JD with two hands on the handles, which eliminates all arm & hand fatigue - which was originally the reason I got the JD.

I've split up my JD jelqing into sets of 10 repetitions. After 10 reps I get my EQ in order, do some twirls, and then continue with the rest of the sets. In Week 3 I'm doing 4 sets of 10 repetitions, next week I will be doing 5 sets.

After I adapt to the JD and am able to control my EQ better with it I was thinking about trying a little experiment with different sets of jelqing variations - say doing a set of 30-40% EQ, and then directly after that a set of 80% or something. It might be something to sort of shock the penis out of monotony, and if nothing else, help me keep track of what set number I'm on when my sets start getting into those higher numbers.

Next week I will be doing workouts on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Measurement time: 7.75 BPEL x 5.375 EG.

I seem to be gaining back that 1/2" in length that I lost, which is great.

Taking a full week off. Past two weeks have been good on the exercise front, however I've changed back to a MWF schedule. It seems optimal for me right now. If I don't gain on a MWF schedule I'll try out a MT HF schedule as an experiment.

Doing Kegels on MWF again - doing them M-F gives me a quick trigger. I'm working kegels up to full minute-long holds. Might do some Aswini Mudra exercises some time.

How are the allergies coming along?

Much better - it's been raining for the past couple of days here and I think it's starting to move into Fall weather, so I'm just down to taking a Claritin if I need it, but so far I've been good.

That is good to hear. However keep in mind medications like claritan can make you fat.

Back from a week-long decon break. Did my scheduled workout today. My hands are giving me trouble on the squeezes I've been doing. I'm considering starting clamping for some "hands-free" girth work, but I don't know if I'm conditioned enough for that. If I can do clamping though it would definitely help save my hands.
