Newbie workout sessions

Hello all. Brand new to all of this. I’ve been lurking and reading for a week or so now and I think I’ve garnered up all the information I need to get started. I’m going to start with the standard newbie routine: 5 min warm-up, 10 min manual stretches, 10 min dry jelq, 5 min warm-down, 2 on / 1 off schedule. I’ve been practicing the techniques and I’m getting a feel for the pressures and stretches. I haven’t had much pain, normal soreness and some red dots on the glans which I’ve taken as pretty standard.

My question is, with the 2 on / 1 off schedule, is this just a single workout per day? I realize that toughening up comes first and after reading the horror stories on some injuries, I’m fine with that. I’m doing this covert, without the wife knowing and sometimes it can get difficult to find the time or privacy. Should I just stick with one per day for a week or two and then ramp up to multiple workouts?or is it always just one per day? Maybe I should change to a 5 on / 2 off schedule in a couple of weeks and stick to one workout per day.

By the way, great site. It definitely has an air of professionalism and support. For such a delicate subject, even newbies like me can feel at ease.

Hi toolmaster, welcome to Thunders!

I would stick with the Newbie Routine and it’s recommended to “gradually increase to 10 min total of stretches and 30 min of jelqing over about 6 weeks time”.

For how workout days go… just make sure you PE at least 4 days a week.

If you don’t have time to do the entire workout at once, then you can spread the workout over the course of the day.
 

Toolmaster,

You should try to do you stretching and Jelqing more then once a day. While you are in the shower you can get in some stretchs and Jelqing. When you take a piss do some dry Jelqing.

Thanks cclark. That’s really the answer I was looking for. There is a lot of info on how long to do certain exercises, which ones to do, days on/off etc. But not really much on how many times per day to do a routine. I was assuming that for newbies, just once a day was recommended. But I’m not seeing any danger signs and I’m not sore or anything so maybe I’ll try one session a day for a couple of weeks, two per day after that, maybe three after six weeks or so and then start bumping up the time/reps.

Not 6 weeks but 3 months

Welcome toolmaster,

Stick to the newbie routine for three months

happy gaining

Is it ok if I do my workout in the evening one day and the next day I do it in the morning?

That is fine, as long as you leave a sleep cycle in between.
