BEFORE starting PE...

[Big Al]

One thing that doesn't get talked about too much and should is what you should do before you start a PE regimen. There are some guidelines that should be followed. Here are some suggestions:

-Get a thorough check up and physical. This may seem inconvenient, but if you have any preexisting penile issues they may be exacerbated by PE exercises. If you have any genital anomalies get them resolved before starting PE.

-Make a shift towards a healthier lifestyle. Having a bigger, healthier penis is great, but it should also be accompanied by a healthier body. If you're overweight and/or out of shape, now would be a good time to start on a fitness program (that includes tuning up your diet) as well as a PE regimen.

-Set reasonable goals. You're not going to notice a huge difference overnight, but if you stick to the routine and make an effort to challenge yourself, you'll be surprised at the improvements you'll make. Establish some short, medium, and long term goals and give yourself some time to achieve them.

-Balance your routine. Men that perform size exercises and ignore the other movements can experience injuries, lack of progress, and symptoms of ED. When you write up your PE schedule, include warm ups, cool downs, and stamina work. The "size" exercises should be secondary to this, since penile health and function should be your primary concern. A bigger penis is also going to require stronger blood flow, so these exercises are necessary to ensure optimal penile function.

-Moderation is the key. Trying to do too much or move too fast will only increase the risk of injury and almost never yields quicker results. Move to the next step only when you're ready for it. Having a little patience will ensure that your penis gets larger and fitter SAFELY.

Great post Big Al.

I would also advise, review the reasons you want to perform PE. Motivation is critical to success. It is the furnace which will power your long term commitment. The reasons should be wholesome and healthy!

I agree totally with Big Al that PE should be part of an overall plan of good health, and it's something I've found myself in the middle of since December. I also think people should do PE for themselves first and foremost and not to live up to someone elses expectations.

I know better than most what it's like to want to see a bigger penis faster, to give an example I noticed that a lot of people will start in the 5-6 inch category and feel insecure but a guy in my position with my current size has what most people call an average penis as a long term goal currently.

Despite that however, I am not going to rush through anything or risk injuring myself and hampering my own gains in the bigger picture. Reading posts like this only give more motivation to do it right the first time, so I'd like to say thanks to Big Al.

Great tips Al!

I definitely agree with BigAl. I have a big belly that I need to get rid of by the end of the year. It's time to start changing my eating habits, seriously.
At least I don't smoke or drink. I'm thankful I don't have those addictions.

Good big picture perspective, BigAl. Ignoring some of these issues is why I haven't made the gains that I could have or even should have made before.
