Stretch then jelq OR jelq then stretch?

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

The question is pretty much explained in the title but basically trying to see what method is better/ more effective in a routine.

I read an article by Big Al which showed a routine that consisted of jelqing then stretching, however, most other routines i.e. JP 90 says to stretch then jelq.

What's your preference and reasons for it?

I used to do stretching then jelqing, based off the JP 90.

But ever since I switched to jelqing then stretching, I always get a better stretch and I struggle less with random semi erections occurring. It feels much better. After 10 min of jelqing, my dick is ready to do some heavy stretching.

I normally jelq a few times between stretching grips and regrips. The jelqs force in some blood which allows a better grip and accordingly, I can hold the grip longer. For me, alternating between jelqs and stretches is more productive.

I would say jelq then stretch. For me this makes sure that I can get an erection for jelquing... and then the tissue is already semi expanded before you stretch. I feel this lets you get a better stretch without your dick turtling up after.

Jelq first since it requires a semi-erection,while stretching needs none. If you stretch first,then your penis maybe tired making jelqing difficult.

I used to do stretching, then jelqing, but I'm going to start jelqing first.


Also: By cleaning your penis first (required after lube/soap for wet jelqing), you get a better grip stretching

I actually don't clean it after jelqing with coco oil. The grip I get from the used up coco oil is good.

I do both. Light stretching with helicopter then jelq then squeeze then stretch. If edging i leave out the end stretches and do them when warming down in the shower.

I am no veteran though and frankly am looking at modifying my regime to do more stretching for length and less squeezing so everything i just said may not continue...

Jelqing will leave your unit much more pumped and fuller than normal. I don't stretch anymore, but I would think plumpness would be a negative attribute when it comes to stretching. Sort of along the lines of go for length first then girth because a lot of girth makes length gains more difficult for many.

With what method did you make most of your length gains? I am going for length at the moment and have experimented with both ways, I agree with the greater ability to stretch afterwards and better feedback when jelqing. However, rib99 poses a good point about length before girth- if it is length you're targeting- but is this dependant on the balance of your workouts i.e. 70% stretch 30% jelq

To be honest, most of my gains came from stretching first, because that's how I was taught PE. No doubt it works, but after doing it for a while, I just feel it's better to jelq first.

As for girth before length, jelqing for 10 minutes won't help anything at all in terms of girth, at least not for me. It's just to get even more blood flow going, and managing to stretch it even longer.

If I jelq 10 min, my BPFSL is longer than if I don't.

Sounds good, the proof is in the pudding I suppose. Think I'll try switching up every now and then to see if I can feel any differences. Also, I don't want to totally neglect girth.

Thanks all for the incite, good luck with the gaining!
