Questioning my jelq technique

I’m not exactly new to PE. I did the newbie routine for 6 months and have been hanging at 6 sets for about a month. I thought I knew at least the basics until I was reading someone’s post on jelqing and it didn’t sound like the way I had been doing it. I watched the video numerous times and read the descriptions but I want to double check. When I had been doing jelqs I would pull back loose skin at the base with one hand and use the OK gesture with the other and moved blood through the shaft until just before the glands, at which point I would stop and switch hands. I am now seeing that I’m supposed to start moving my other hand forward while my original hand is still on the shaft near the glans, where I have a firm grip on both ends. When I do it this way, it feels like blood is trapped in the entire shaft and it feels like a balloon that is full. I’m a little nervous that this isn’t right way and that I’ll incur damage over the long run. The feeling makes me think of what people talk about when discussing clamping. It’s also much more difficult to do this way, as I have to get a good rhythm down and the skin starts to pile up a bit near the glans. Hopefully this makes sense and isn’t too silly of a question, thanks!

When I jelq, I feel the blood trapped and it feels like a full balloon. You want to feel a little expansion. Jelqing too light won’t yield any results. It sounds to me like you are doing the right thing. Your flaccid should look a little enlarged afterwards.

Has the newbie routine been working? If so, try sticking with it until you no longer see gains. Be careful not to jump into clamping, pumping or hanging because it increases your chances of an injury.

Hope this helps.
