Organized Attempt

Going to give this an organized try for a change. I’ve jelqed in the past, but nothing structured, so I will be attempting to do it right this time.

Current plan is 5 times a week do a warm up, 200 wet jelqs and V stretch for 5 minutes followed by warm down.

Current stats are: length 14.3 cm and girth 12.2 cm

My goals, in order, are:

EQ, length, girth

If EQ is your main goal, alternating days could show better results: after one day of training, take the next to be resting.

Linear Newbie Routine is great for EQ.

Great thanks for the link. I suppose that makes sense, especially at the start. I’ll start with 1 day on 1 day off and if I feel like more would be better do 2 days then 1 rest.

Hello abps62,

Welcome to Thunder’s! For a structured approach, try fitting your PE into your existing schedule. In my case I do it straight after coming home from the lab, instead of crashing on the sofa and drooling like a moron for an hour. Good luck!

Hey alps!

Welcome to Thunders.

It is always recommended to start with a beginners routine and continue with it for 90 days or until you stop gaining. Start slowly and build up to the full routine over a few weeks.

Jelq with an erection level between 40 and 70%. When stretching, grab your shaft about one inch below the glans and do not pull too hard, just enough to to feel a slight stretch. Let your PIs be your guide as to how hard to peruse your routine.

Dont forget to take good starting measurements and photos so you have a solid base to compare your gains to.

PE safely and good luck with your endeavors

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m going to try to add it to my morning routine with the shower.

I see that link suggests 20 at first, but the advanced section recommends 200. I remember working up 300 after starting at 50 before, but that was quite some time ago. I’ll take it slow and just do what I feel is comfortable. The V stretch I haven’t done before, so if that proves to be too much I’ll cut down on the time or just drop it altogether unless I’ve got back into the swing of things.

Off to a good start. Reread some of the popular posts and restumbled upon the affirmations post which I really enjoyed before so I’ve been doing that. After two sessions no spotting, irregular shapes or anything like that so I think that the amount I’m doing is about right. Been doing 10 minutes jelq (approximated for 200 x 3 seconds) and 5 minutes V stretches. Honestly I’m not too sure if the v stretches are accomplishing anything yet but not going to give up on them just yet. I’ll try to work on form and see if that improves anything.

Switched out the V stretch for manual. I think it’s better, but it’s a bit difficult to tell because the jelqing adds so many benefits on its own. I’ve recovered most of my lost gains very quickly. I was expecting a few weeks to get most of it, but I’d say after this week my EQ has returned to about 75-80% of what it was when I was still in the routine of doing this. At this rate I’ll move length up to priority #1 and start looking for ways to work on that.

Hey abps62,

How is your consistency going? Are you finding the time to PE every day you planned to PE? There are a lot of options in the stretch department, find whichever one you like best. Personally I like the classical manual and JAI stretches.

Working on your EQ is always good. Otherwise it’s like trying to pay with a foreign currency; sure you might have enough cash in theory, but you just can’t use it! I don’t know if you’re used to watching porn, but quitting that can also improve your EQ tremendously. And then of course there is good cardiac health (fitness) and other physical and psychological factors.

Good luck!

Thanks for the post. I just started going with the basic manual stretches suggested in the linear program, I will check out JAI after this post. So far I’ve been doing good with consistency, if anything I’m too eager and have to remind myself that rest days are for resting.

I do watch porn but not much and trying to cut it out completely. I currently work out regularly so doing well there also.

The feature that shows you what an abbreviation is by mousing over it is pretty amazing. So JAI is referring to this thread:

Johan is a believer now! JAI

And in particular this post:

Good stuff, thanks for recommending it. I think I’ll will try to incorporate it into my routine every other session along with the manual stretches, and eventually work up to doing both in the same day. Very helpful community here, thanks for all the posts everyone and setting me on a good beginner routine.

Been going consistently but hit a few snags. I think that the big increase in erection quality was probably largely placebo or psychological since I was quite excited about getting back into this. I haven’t been having erections that are quite as good as my first week after starting this log, although they’re better than before I started.

I feel like my jelqing is going well and I’ve increased to 12 minutes, but stretching isn’t going as well. I had a slight irritation (wouldn’t call it pain so much) at the left side of the base of my penis which I’m guessing is from the stretching and not the jelqing. Anyways took an extra day off and it was no big deal, but because of that I’ve yet to increase any stretch time. Also due to the fact that erection quality is my #1 goal and length is secondary I’ve just been focusing on jelqing.

Would like to get it to where my erections are back to where they were my first week and then focus on length but that seems like it’s some time off.

Starting experiencing some irritation in my urethra which I imagine is from jelqing so I’ve stopped upping that. Will stay where I’m at for a few weeks before considering adding more time/effort.

My erection quality has returned to what it was when I first restarted. I think it was mostly a combination of poor hydration and not enough carbs which made me stall there. Eating better now and seem to be back to where I was.

Doing well I think. Don’t think I’m making much progress in length but doing well with EQ. Thinking about moving to twice a day on my on days. I feel like I might be going a bit hard, and twice a day with shorter lengths would be easier on me, have the benefit of more warm up/warm down and potentially lead to more gains. Undecided though.

Not sure I’m doing stretches correctly. Don’t really know where I’m supposed to feel the tug, where exactly I’m stretching etc. Need to look up more, as I think my goals will chance soon and length become priority #1.
