From Hell (Progress Log of Jack the Ripper)

[Jack the Ripper Member Find all posts View Profile Close Jack the Ripper]

Dear PE Gym members,

On Monday July 18th, I plan to start JonPop's beginner's routine. I will do a routine of 5 days on and 2 days off, with the two days being Saturday and Sunday. I also plan on experimenting with various products over the course of my workouts. I will try to update my log weekly. I will rely on the help of this forum throughout my journey. Stay on me like Scotland Yard, boys!

From Hell,
Jack the Ripper

Hey Jack, just wanna say first of all thanks for taking a break from killing people. Second, are you sure you want to do a 5 on 2 off schedule? If you haven't done PE before, 5 on might be too much, and you might be overworking. PE it just like working out, your body needs breaks in order to heal and grow. Why don't you try out 2 on (monday, tuesday), wednesday off, then 2 on and then you can still have the weekend off like you want?

I appreciate the concern Pose. Perhaps a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday routine will be sufficient for the first month until I find out how much my body can handle.

Two days until I start my routine and I'm anxious to get started. It's a great feeling when you're looking forward to a workout.

Today, I went to the store and bought a 56 oz. pitcher and some groceries, including almonds and some bread made with flaxseed. Along with my PE routine, I'm doing a major overhaul on my diet. The pitcher will be filled with water every night, chilled in the fridge, and used to ensure that I drink the proper amount of water to start my morning and throughout my day.

I purchased and read Sylvester Stallone's Sly Moves as a motivator. Lots of good nutrition facts and tips in there. Some of Sly's favorite exercises are laid out step by step with illustrations. Most importantly, the book is full of great encouragement from a man who I have a great deal of admiration and respect for.

I plan to update the log on Sunday with measurements.

Hey Jack, nice base for the log but anybody can make one. Let's see how long you keep yours up - just remember not to push for results and to remain consistent. Enjoy the quote since I get the feeling you are a positive thinker kinda dude.


I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

Thanks for the advice. Dedication will not be a problem for me. Ever since I was a child, I have always had the ability to flip that "switch" when I wanted something bad enough. Nobody can stop me when I'm motivated, and let me tell you, I am motivated! I've never been this anxious to knock down the walls.

One day, when I've surpassed my goals, the ladies will fear Jack the Ripper.

Had my first workout yesterday. I seem to be responding well. No unusual soreness. Planning my second workout for later tonight.

I also weighed recently, and I'm under 200 lbs. One of my co-workers made a comment that I looked like I had lost some weight. That was very encouraging to both my weight loss goals and my PE goals. I really feel like I've got the bull by the horns here. I can accomplish both of these goals, perhaps sooner than I realize. I'm really feeling great about my goals and about life right now.

Had my second workout tonight. I think the helicopter shakes have become an early favorite of mine. Fun exercise.

I'm going to see how I feel tomorrow before I decide whether or not I do my third workout. If I feel a good amount of soreness tomorrow, I plan on taking the advice of Pose and having a rest day.

Decided to take a rest day after waking up with a considerable amount of soreness. Hopefully one day of rest will be enough and I can do my third workout tomorrow.

Currently warming down from my third workout. The rest day yesterday proved beneficial. I woke up with little soreness.

Today I decided to do some edging. I completed my workout and just didn't feel maxed. I edged for only 5-10 minutes, but didn't finish. I plan to edge on days when I complete my workout and still feel like I can handle a little more.

I've been slacking on my measurements. I need to get those up soon so I know where my starting point is.

Day four completed. Saturday and Sunday will be rest days for me.

[Jack the Ripper Member Find all posts View Profile Close Jack the Ripper]

Today was my first rest day. I thought that I would enjoy it, but I'm really not. I find myself wanting to do a workout. I suppose that is a good thing.

I've been following JonPop's beginner routine to a tee for my first week, but I want to do just a little bit more. I'm considering adding flaccid bends, or another exercise that would be appropriate for someone still new to PE.

Once again, measurements still to come.

Welcome Jack,

Don't forget that JP's routine is pretty intense & that if you feel slightly sore, there is no harm in reducing the work load a little.

Welcome Jack,

Thank you for the welcome, vulcan. I'm taking an additional day off today. Been feeling all kinds of sore. My penis is telling me it wants to rest. Thanks for checking up on my blog. All advice from you experienced gym members is very much welcomed here.
