Newbie 16 days in: Am I overdoing it now

Hello,

In short, 16 days into the routine, I have gained 0.2 inches in length (NBPEL and BPL) and 0.2 inches in girth (head and base). My PE girth and length gains have been constant (I.e. Gained even amounts, not 0.1 inch overnight). The 2 main injuries were:
Penis head spotting
Several burst veins at the top of the penis shaft,

Using arnica, or bruising cream (I recommend this as it heals the dick very fast) the burst veins subsided, and I also found that I was squeezing too hard at end of the jelq squeeze. Here is my routine

Two 30 second sideways stretch,
Three 30 second rotor stretches,
Three 30 second upwards stretch,
Two 30 second downwards stretches,
Two 30 second straight stretches.
50 kegels of five second holds each
Two 1 minute bundle stretches (every 30 seconds change direction, CW first then ACW)
2 minutes V-stretching, 1 minute with forefinger stretching at base, 1 minute with forefinger at the centre

7 mins jelq squeeze (each lasts 5 seconds), at least 112

18 mins jelq , 8 mins with palm facing chest, 8 mins with palm facing away to a wall, (each lasts 5 seconds), at least 274

Using a hot fan (temperature around 25 degrees centigrade about a foot away from the dick) used 10 minutes before, during and 10 minutes after the routine, and smothering the dick with arnica at night, seems to heal most problems (especially burst veins). Now my question is: should I cut back?
Also does anyone have any suggestions for a manual stretch (which targets girth) near the penis base?

Cheers
Jack

I think you might be on the way for a more severe injury or preventing further gains are you routine seems pretty intense for me? You are already adding some advanced exercises like bundle stretches, squeezes and vstretches and your dick might get hurt.

Why dont you just go for the old fashioned newbie routine instead? If you have already seen some gains, probably as a result of improved EQ as most initial gains, you should get some good gains as most of the members in here with the newbie routine.

Just my 2 cents.

A hot fan at 25 degrees C is not warm enough since your body temperature lies around 37 degrees C :)

Besides that, I agree with dyablo. Cut back a little on your routine, or at least releave the area’s in question and focus on the other regions. You also pointed out that you may be squeezing to hard. Maybe you should read the negative/ positive PI’s thread. ;)

I would and I did. I’ve found I’ve had more success with Less is More. Just my personal experience though, there are some people here who do insane amounts of PE and their growth is coming along nicely.

I’ve read stretching straight up and doing kegels can give more girth at the base. I’ve yet to try it.

Cheers for the replies,

The fan is at least 7 degrees hotter than my body as it is a 2000W heater, on setting 2 and is no more than 1 foot from my penis. It is a very efficient way (although sweaty!) way of heating your dick before, during and after the stretch. I did the routine (as described above) about an hour ago and there are no burst veins at all (I squeezed less). Does this mean that the schedule (as it stands) is adequate?
I measured again afterwards, and have gained slightly (stress on small, like .5 mm).

With measuring what is the generally accepted way of measuring one’s NBPEL, for example is it from the center base of the penis to the urethra opening, non pressed? Or from the side?

The air temperature here at the moment is anywhere from 23-26 at night and up to 34 degrees in the day. I have a fan and it blows air onto me when I PE but it’s an attempt to cool down not warm up lol. :D And yet in this heat I still use a rice sock.

Jack, for NBP measurement, just pick a spot that you know that you can repeat and use that same spot each time. It’s not important where others measure NBP it’s just important for you to measure the same spot each time to track gains.

No. Two injuries in 16 days is a decisive proof that you are overdoing. Even if you don’t have injuries anymore, chances are that you are just thoughening your tissues.

I’d like to know how you can measure a 0.5 mm gain.

As a decision shall not do anything (no routine) for three days, and then continue as per normal. I can measure small gains through using the string and the ruler, this removes the parallax error (the way the eye views objects) and makes it more accurate. If I am not bursting anymore veins, they have completely healed, and the red spotting on the penis head is going down, down to about 3 small spots now, then should I leave the schedule as it is, rather than change it?
Also, could marinera please explain what ‘thoughening your tissues’ means, I am unsure, it does not sound good

It means your doing way to much for an unconditioned Dick, toughing up the tissues will just make gains harder, stop completly, or even set you up for a more serious injury.

It takes 3 months or more of “FOLLOWING the Newbie Routine”, before you even should consider doing other exercises! I’m just up to that many Jelq’s after nine month’s of PE. Follow your PI’s (which don’t sound so great after you reported you have had 2 injury’s already), bursting veins is not good! How’s your EQ?

Listen to these guys they’ve been there, and are giving you advise to back off, you don’t want to kill your Dick, you want it to grow. It’s a long and tedious process, start out slow and work your way up to more advanced routines, good luck, and keep it healthy!

Cheers for the advice,

Well I have cut the routine down to the following:

15 mins;

Four 30 second sideways stretch,
Three 30 second rotor stretches,
Three 30 second upwards stretch,
Two 30 second downwards stretches,
Two 30 second straight stretches.
Two 1 minute bundle stretches (every 30 seconds change direction, CW first then ACW)

5 mins jelq squeeze (each lasts 5 seconds), around 60

12 mins jelq , 6 mins with palm facing chest, 6 mins with palm facing away to a wall, (each lasts 5 seconds), around 144

This is basically 144 jelq’s, 2 days on, 1 day off, is this more of the newbie schedule I should follow?

Just do that damn newbie routine. No bundle stretches, non jelq squeeze, just the newbie routine, or even the linear routine (search for).

Vernier Calipers? :)

Microscope. ;)

Well to measure to 0.5 of a mm I take averages (three times) of, for example, NBPEL, and then divide by three. How do you get an exact measurement of yours?

One should take the best measure, IMO. I doubt there is such a thing like a 0.5 mm gains - gains come at spurt, generally.
