My first positive PI

Here I go!! I’m just 3 weeks into the newbie routine and am already looking more vascular! I got me an IR lamp and some cocoa butter and a log to keep track of my workouts and everything. My initial goals are modest - just a half inch both ways.

The jelqs are getting too numerous (it feels) so I’m splitting my workouts into 2 a day. Does anyone actually do 600 jelqs by the end of the newbie routine? I’m at 350 and I can’t imagine doing more than 400 in a day. Maybe I’ll play with the intensity instead of the count.. Take my time..

Thanks for all the great posts and whatnot. I’ve read a lot of interesting stuff here.

Congrats on your positive PI.
I would keep jelqs under 300 for sure and focus on quality…in fact try doing half that number and when you feel you have mastered them, go ahead and increase the reps. My jelqs are 5 seconds with a 5-7 second hold/stretch at the end of each rep. It takes me around 45 minutes to complete 200 - 250 jelqs.

By the time someone is conditioned enough to do 600 jelqs i would think they probably should move on top more advanced exercises.

Thanks. Yeah, I had a feeling 600 jelqs would end up being a bit of a mess. Maybe I’ll drop down to 200 and go a bit slower. I’m getting good expansion and a good pump at the end, so that’s good. It takes me about an hour to do 300 jelqs but I do some edging and very light squeezes (very light). There’s this feeling that I need to “get to 600” so I can “finish” or whatever. Obviously, that’s a bad idea.

Quality over quantity it is then.

How many are you adding per week?

I was adding 50 per week and was about to start week 4 at 350-400+/-. The newbie routine calls for 200 to start and an increase to 600 (if you do the math 200 Jelqs per 10 min increased to 30 min by week six). It feels like a little much, though. How’s your routine feeling?
