Very fustrated after 5 months

After 5 months, I’ve failed to make a single gain , but I don’t know why. I’ve had nothing but POSitive Pi’s but the only one I don’t have is gains. I’ve never even had a negative pi. I do:

10 min of stretching

20-25 min of jelqing 3-6 sec.

2 sets of extreme uli’s 45-1 min. Holds

And a cool down afterwards

This has been on a 2 days 1 off CONSISTENT schedule.

And all of this being done in the shower

So can anybody possibly help me? Do I need to take a deconditioning break? I really need this because it’s my new years resoloution.

So you warm down, but dont warm up? What are you trying to gain? Whats your goals?

After 5 months, you are low on stretching and maybe even with jelqs. Also, try switching to dry-jelqs and add some fulcrum stretches.

Maybe try out pumping, clamping, hanging, ADS etc.

You’re not doing enough, increase length of routine. Jelq 30 minutes a day, 10 minutes won’t cut it, stretching for 10 minutes is a joke, I was stretching in 9 different directions, holding each stretch for 3 minutes, then doing some advanced style stretches, and I credit that with giving me half an inch in length.

I’m against the main stream saying I’m skeptical with increasing the length of your routine. If something doesn’t work, it doesn’t work! As an analogy, if you are speaking English to someone who doesn’t know English at all, it won’t be more efficient repeating the same words.

I suggest changing what you are doing, or the way you are doing it. Low intensity could be your problem. You say about 10 min of stretching, but are you stretching with a force of 2 kgf, 15 kgf, or you just never thought that it should matter?

I am going to agree with every one of these posts. Everyone is different.

The length of your workout, intensity, different exercises, duration of reps, number of reps, workouts per week… all of these things are factors you have to take into consideration
when trying to break a plateau or make your first gains.

What is going to work for HardbodyPEer may not work for Luka89 for example.

Mix up these variables and try to measure often to see if you make any slight gains after a few weeks and go from there.

Whatever you do, don’t blow up your dick. you only get one. Good luck PE brother.

Maybe try to skip the extreme uli’s after taking a 10-14 day break.

Warmup properly= Better stretched tissue = More gains.

I assure you that the Warmup Is the key factor to gaining.

So you are taking 30-35 minute showers? Do you actually clean your body? LOL! :D

Maybe try a 1 on, 1 off or 2 on 2 off routine. And yeah, I would maybe drop the extreme Ulis. Just a thought.

I feel for you, man. As you know, what works for one may not work for another. That being said, I’m going to throw out some ideas based on my experience, and hopefully you’ll find some of them useful

1. Warm up. I believe that warming up properly is one of the most important things you can do. Not only will it minimize risk of injury, but also, in my opinion, it facilitates growth. I use an electric heating pad with a spongy insert that you can wet if you prefer moist heat. I’d suggest a full 10 minute warm-up before you begin and periodic re-application of heat between exercises. I also apply heat during some exercises – particularly BTC stretches and hanging

2. Manual Stretching. I attribute most of my length gains to manual stretches. Early on, I think I gained a good bit through BTC stretches, which thoroughly stretch my ligaments. If you haven’t done much BTC stretching, it’s worth a shot. Recently I’ve focused on stretching about halfway between Straight Out and Straight Down(approximately a 45 degree angle). This stretch feels effective and has corresponded with pretty good length gains. I usually hold stretches for a minute to a minute and a half and do them in sets of about five several times throughout the day.

3. Jelqing. I don’t believe that you have to jelq more or longer to get better results. I only do maybe 100 a day, but make sure to make them high-quality, lasting 4-5 seconds each.

4. Hanging. Make yourself a Captn’s Wench and start some light hanging, if your situation permits.

Good luck.
