Noob question

[dirtylolaaus Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close dirtylolaaus]

Hi All! I am also new to PE and just commencing with the beginner routines. My question and I have searched everywhere for the answer, is instead of doing one session in one go do you get the same effects of scattered throughout the day (eg 5 or 10 mins morning, noon and night)? I am married with two young kids so don't really wanna get caught jelqing while watching TV 😁

I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere but as I said I have searched everywhere, and yes I have also read the beginner threads ☺️

Thanks in advance from Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼

Is it better to do it all at once? Sure it is. Like you when I started I just didn't have 20 minutes of spare time so I would do 10 minutes here, 5 min, there, and so on. It helped;it got me in shape.If that's all that you can do then do it.

Yeah, I was concerned about the same issue. I do jelqing in the shower during my lunch break. Not much time. So, can you do say 150 jelq's in the morning and the 90 V jelqs in the evening. The obvious answer is yes, so yes, do whatever you can do whenever you can do it.

Welcome to you. dirtylolaaus, and to the Land Down Under! Be sure you take correct measurements, pics (or you'll be sorry later), start a journal in the progress forum and log your routine regularly to stay motivated and get feedback from other members, and most of all, PE SAFELY!

To answer your question, Yes, you can split your routine in half doing stretches mornings and jelqs afternoons, maybe even adding some edging at night before bed. Having said that I believe you do lose some of the growth potential in a split routine because you lose the compounding effects of fatigue that a solid routine done all at once provides. But, some PE is better than NO PE, so try it, if it works for you. You can always add reps and intensity as you progress, and perhaps regain some of that fatigue loss, over time.

How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?

If you do crack the floor I'll eat my hat.

You have to use a turbo-encabulator...it can also be used for fishing too!

Thanks all for your response and welcome. I will continue to do PE exercises wherever I feel I can. I don't need an excuse to have a tug haha.

Cheers

i would definitely split your routine with stretches in the morning and jelqs at night as jockinthebox suggested.if you exercise your smooth muscle twice the second jelq session will just slow down your healing and undo any healing that took place after the first jelq session.when you do tunica manipulating exercises like stretching you want to do it at two different times every day to improve results.when you jelq in the afternoon (with stretching done in the morning)the jelq routine will work the smooth muscle and re-stretch your tunica . general rule is one day off for smooth muscle to heal and no rest days for tunica stretching unless fatigue is too great and there is risk of injury.

I have always split exercises throughout the day. For about two months (may-june) I did a quick jelq (maybe 50?) and a uli (2x 20 secs) in the morning; rotating stretches throughout the day (5x); then ulis in the evening (full workout, maybe 10x for 30 secinds , plus kegel n hold for 10 seconds X 10) and finally edging late at night (30 mins), this was 6 days a week (off work, wife out of the country). I gained about 1/4 inch in that period.

Now I do stretches first in the morning; ulis at about noon; some stretches in the afternoon; then jelqs in the late evening. I do ulis 3~4 times a week, jelqing 5~6. Now, after reading lastditch's post, I wonder if I should be jelqing later the same day after doing the uli... thoughts anyone?
