How do I know if I'm squeezing hard enough?

I'm really paranoid I'm doing something wrong and it's going to effect my gains. How hard is too hard to squeeze? Also is it a problem if I go a little faster than advised (3-4 sec per jelq, I'm more like 2-2.7sec)? Should I hold the grip at the top for a half second or go slower up the shaft or something? Which is more important, the hold at the top or the actual movement up the shaft? Is there a beginner thread I missed that goes over all of this nitpicky stuff??? I'm mostly concerned about girth as I'm well below average in that department.

START HERE button top left of the page.
Go slower especially for girth. Holding at the top can be good for increasing the size of your glans.

Squeeze just hard enough to feel the blood swell the tissues on the way up the shaft. Like you are squeezing and spreading a warm stick of butter without breaking the stick of butter.
