Am I doing the right thing

Hello.

This is my first post, and let me say how appreciative I am to be able to join this forum. I waited about 3 months, and thought the Registry would never open. So I am grateful.

Having said that, I’ve been doing PE since august 20Th. I started with the newbie routine 2days on/1 off this proved too intense, so I backed to 1 day on/1 off and this was the same, so then I changed to 2 - 3days per week which is easier on my penis.

I just want my routine overlooked by a experienced PEer to let me know I’m doing OK.

5-10min heat pack warm up
Stretching Ligament (down) and tunica (up) stretching 30second holds 6 times each stretch (working up to 10, I add 1 more stretch each week)
Jelqing 5 - 7second 200times (I worked up to this from originally 20 adding more each time)
5 - 10min heat pack warm down

Now I have some question which I hope aren’t stupid and going to cause annoyance as I found it hard finding a decent answer with the search button..

With the stretching do I alternate the direction, or do I do 6 down stretches and then 6 up, or go down, up, down up and so forth till 6 are completed each direction?

Also, does one reset there grip after each stretch? Or is this pure personal choice (I’m still a noob and wouldn’t know what is best)

I read the correct way to jelq and found I had symptoms much like that of other jelqers who found loss of erection capability, mainly due to jelqing too hard. I have learned from this and going to do it softer. I cannot do the second grip behind the head as I find it hard alternating each hand this way. Is it ok to jelq before the head, but not have a grip there as I slide my hand to it?

I find I have alot of skin on the base of my penis around the ball sack area, as I grip the base for another jelq, I start the jelq and find I pull the skin down my penis, is this ok? I can stop this happening with my second hand, I simply hold the skin back in the base and find my jelqing hand slides down the shaft well without pulling down the skin.. I just need this cleared up.

The last 2 or 3 weeks I’ve been rather lazy as I’m finding it hard to get a decent grip for stretching, and I haven’t had any gains since I started. I am going to change the way I jelq (softer now) and see where this takes me. Since ill be jelqing softer, perhaps I can increase training days?

My last question is, do I continue adding in more stretches and jelqs each week, as far as I’m comfortable with

I’m still 5 1/4 inches I don’t press the ruler against my pelvic bone, I just measure on top from where my penis starts coming out. My erection also curves to the left quite a bit.

My goal is anywhere from 6 - 6 1/2” I would be in ecstasy within those measurements. Any girth gains I’d be happy with. Main priority is length, followed very closely by girth.

Thank you for reading this post.

Sonny, welcome to Thunders! Good questions. I’ll try to answer to the best of my ability.
As far as alternating directions during stretching. I don’t think that is an issue. Just do whatever is more comfortable.
I do alternate directions after each set, not after each stretch. This works for me. Others may have a different approach.

I only reset my grip if it starts to slip. The important thing is to try to hold the stretch for the entire duration without letting up.
Resetting in between stretches isn’t going to make or break you.

Something I quickly realized, jelqing is an art. It may take some time to really get a feel for what works best for you.
I’m not really sure what you are asking. I would recommend watching the videos as a how-to guide.

A Quickstart Guide to Manual Exercises

As for increasing your reps, sets, or exercise days. Be careful not to start adding too quickly. This will only toughen up the tissue
and cost you gains in the long run. Stick to the Newbie routine but concentrate on quality exercises instead of quantity. Focus
on getting a really good workout. Then give your body rest time. I also recommend reading sparkyx’s PI thread.

Physiologic Indicators (PIs) to help growth!

Hope this helps!

I noticed in the stretches that when he stretched down his foreskin was pulled back, but when he stretched up, his skin wasn’t pulled back. Is weather having your skin back or not purely comfort and personal, and not going to affect gains or cause injury? This I really need to know.

I watched the jelq movie again, and yes I am doing it right as to the video. He looks though as if he’s squeezing really hard.. I also noticed he avoids all the skin at the base by pushing it back as he makes another grip. I must seem to notice it more on me as my penis isn’t as big.

I will continue getting up to 10 total manual stretches and focus more on the quality of the workout.

I was a little worried to see I got 2 and 3 of the negative PI’s, and 1, 3 and 4 of the neutrals, but non of the positive PI’s, that’s why I posted.

Looks like I’m changing my stretching, and softer jelqing from now on.

5-7 second jelqs are great. And your 2-3 day per week schedule is good. I wold not be to concerned if the skin moves forward toward the glans. Every dick is a bit different.

I would take more time to warm up and warm down. Twenty minutes to warm up and warm down. Cut your jelqs down to 100 or less especially if you are doing them slow. Which I think brings about faster gains.
