My gains for a month and some questions.

Hi guys. Been here for a while and I decided finally to start my newbie routine. It’s been more than a month, maybe a month and a half that’ve been constantly practicing (2 days on 1 day off).

Some of the newbie routine exercises were kind of difficult to perform and I decided to modify it according to my needs/abilities to perform it.

Instead of manual streching, I started hanging really light weights. I’m not circumcised and manual streching was really difficult to perform. Ok so.. :

No warm up - It takes me a lot of time, and I need to work and study you know..

10 minutes rest

20 minutes hanging with 1.3lbs

10 minute rest

20 minutes handing with 1.3lbs

Are this type of gains possible, or I’m probably measuring wrong or something ?
What would you advice me for my routine ? What can I improve ? By the way, starting 20th of march, I started doing 350 instead of 250 jelqs. I’m planing to make them 600 sometimes in late April. What do you think about this ?

As for the warmup - I don’t really have time to do it, is it that important ?

And finally, I didn’t really measyre my girth, because at the moment I’m more focused on my lenth. But it’s noticeable, that my dick is just thicker now.

What are your thoughts ?

Thanks.

I would recommend you warmup using either an IR lamp or moist heat. I would also recommend you read about PI’s and pay close attention to them to ensure you’re not over-exercising.

All said and done, congratulations on the gains. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it : )

What is PI ? I feel comfortable for now with the pressure. Sometimes my unit is soar, sometimes it kind of hurts, so I stop for a little, but in general I guess it’s ok.

Btw another question - With a ruler how do you measure the lenth, you put the ruler next to your penis or on top of him. Because when I put it on the right and bone press it, it measures a bit more than putting it on top of my penis and pressing (It’s a transparent ruler, and when it’s on top of my penis I can still see where exactly it reaches. Theres like 2-3 mm difference, can it be because of the curve of the penis ?

I believe the “gold standard” that everyone uses on this site is “BPEL” bone pressed erect length, and this is measured along the top.

Okay.

Another question - Is there any other exercise that I can apply like 10-15 minutes a day. To diversify a bit ?

I increased the weights to 2.2lbs. Now I’m doing 2x20, but it’s really painful. Can anyone share his experience of hist first days of “serious” hanging. Like with 2-3lbs at least ? Was it painful ?

Pain is ALWAYS a bad thing. Did you read the PI thread like Sophomoric suggested? It’s right there on the front page, first link under recent articles. Seriously, you’re only going to injure yourself if you don’t study the material properly. I have been reading a couple of months now and I’m in no rush to start PE.

Okay guys. It’s me again. I just read the firm flacid thread (some pages of it) and I’ve got extremely scared. I think I will hang less time and also will top my jelqs to 250 a day, maximum. What do you think ?

I’ve read like a thousand posts and separate websites on the topic, and I still don’t know if extreme jelqing or hanging causes it ? Some of the sites said that mastrubation is one of the causes.
Does anyone know which one is the main cause to hard flaccid penis ? And what to avoid doing ?

THANKS !

Not sure which cause it, but do you really believe it’s the masturbation? seriously? c’mon son

You should lower your hanging weight to 1,3 lbs as before. This is when you will continue your normal workout having recovered, till then you should only do some mild jelqing.

If you wish to be entirely scientific about the process. Reduce all your exercises and masturbation to a bare minimum. Let’s say (but the figures are just a ball-park) 5 minutes of hanging @ 1.3lb weight, and 20 mild jelqs, masturbation included. If you get a firm, or diminished flaccid, (you really shouldn’t) then stop masturbating and gauge the effect. If you’re still suffering negative PI’s, reduce your exercise further, but as I said, the likelihood of such a light regime inducing negative PI’s is slim to say the least.

I have a sensitive unit and my regime is as follows:

5 minutes warmup (but constant infra red light)

2x20 minutes of 2lb hanging (this is where I started)

40 light Jelqs, making sure not to move too far down my shaft as this gives me short-term loss of sensitivity.

15 minutes of light clamping to finish.

I do this 5x a week with the weekend off and I >believe< I’m gaining ;)

(no negative Pi’s)

Sophomoric, thanks for the reply.(The other guys as well). I think you didn’t get me right. I’m not suffering the firm flaccid state (Thank God) but I’m scared because many who suffer right now got it from jelquing and streching/hanging.

I’ve been into PE for the past month and a half roughtly, but before that I’ve been doing some pretty bad things to my member. Been mastrubating like 4-5 times a day, grabbing it really hard, etc. And I’ve been fine. But I’m really scared now, because there are some people that get the hard flaccid problem and errectile dysfunction by only doing basic stuff like jelqing and streching..

I agree with you Sophomoric, I’ll hang 1.3 probably 2x10 and will reduce the jelqs, still don’t know to how much .. I’ve reached 350 and I felt ok, but now as I’m scared I’ll probably go down to less than 200, maybe 100 ?

If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. If you hang full and low the day after exercise, obtain erections easily and your unit feels engorged and meaty, and you wake often with morning erections, or easily coerced morning erections, then… don’t change anything.

@Sophomoric - Yes, in general I’ve been very confident lately. Gained a lot (it’s significant for me) and my unit became meatier and my errections kind of improved, BUT once I read that and other threads (some of them with 90 pages) and after realizing that those guys got ED just like that overnight, all of them said they woke up with a funny feeling down their pants, and it has been ongoing for months now. And the treatment, is really slow, between 6 months and a year, and you have to stop having sex and mastrubation etc.. The whole thing just scared me to death, I swear..

Haven’t you thought about this ?

Considering, given the vast number of people doing exercise without any decline in erectile function, I don’t think it’s too great a concern. You have to ask yourself exactly what those guys really did to their units, if they hung a fridge off it for an hour, ironed it, and then stuck it in 10 clamps and did erect bends, do you think they would admit to more than: “I only jelqed a little bit” publicly?

I think some guys are genetically predisposed to a weakened circulatory system, their units tend to “pop” after the first few times exercising. I think if you’ve been doing it a while, and you don’t intend to throw the kitchen sink at your dick, you’ll probably be just fine.
