Personal PE Journey Update

So, I’ve been PEing for about 6 months and have been a member of Thunder’s for maybe 2 months or so. Recently I ran into a small injury - nothing worth describing - so I took a break for that and to travel for a week. All in all I took about a 3 week break. I’ve returned just about a week ago and have made some small changes, little updates etc. That maybe someone new might find interesting or a veteran can add wisdom to.

So, to begin, the first thing I did was measure BPEL and EG. I’ve also decided to keep a log book of my workouts and my measurements (which I take every 2 weeks) complete with dates and length of each workout for volume tracking purposes. I noticed immediately that after my break I had actually GAINED length slightly, which was a surprise. I only measure BPEL and EG for now, I’m not too interested with the rest. If someone can give me a good explanation for why I should be measuring everything including flaccid, I’m all ears.

Onto my workouts, I started off light and have been/plan on increasing the intensity slowly until I get back to where I was comfortably. One thing I’ve decided to focus on is girth, but because of where I live (I’m an American contractor in an Islamic country) I can’t have “tools” like extenders and pumps, so I have to get creative and do it manually. I’ve noticed very little girth changes up to this point, but I’m being patient and trying new things.

Recently, I’ve found a band that works NICELY as a “makeshift” ring. What I do for girth is place that as far back as possible, behind the testicles because it works for me even though it’s not recommended, and then I do kind of a double-dry jelq which I’ll explain in detail - if this has a name already feel free to educate me! Otherwise, this is what I came up with.
I Kegel in blood, tourniquet off at the base with a standard ok grip as close to pelvic bone as possible, then slowly squeeze the head to force more blood back. I hold for maybe a couple seconds, release and repeat for 30-50 reps or until I “feel” like I’m getting tired - I pay close attention to how I feel. I always end up feeling heavier and looking veinier, with some added girth. I’m hoping that this will suffice with lack of the tools I mentioned, and that everyone else has mentioned in girth guides. I also bought equipment for clamping, but I don’t actually plan to do that for a long long time. I want to see how this routine works for a few months and see where I am

So far I’ve gained about .5 BPEL and MAYBE a very slight EG gain. Girth is what’s important to me now, so I’ve been focusing more on that. Other than that stuff I do a basic routine that works for me that looks like this most days, and will slowly increase over time:
-warm up
-6 min manual stretch
-10 min wet jelq (increased to 12 now, goal is 20 to maintain for a while)
-6 min manual stretch
-every other day the double jelq w ring done here
-warm down

I do all of this under a IR heat lamp to maintain my heat levels.

I’m open to suggestions, otherwise I’ll maintain and continue to monitor with my logs!

God speed boys, thanks for reading

Thank you for sharing your story Zekey and congrats on the gains. You are off to a good start my friend.

Ps

I moved your thread to the Progress Reports section.

Cool, thank you!

As far as I knew I can only post in this forum though, or am I wrong? Still unsure about what my privileges are as a newbie to the site.

Awesome gains.

So in your “double-dry jelq”, you don’t actually move your OK grip along the shaft? You just squeeze the head and keep the grip at the base?

No problem Zekey, when in doubt just reference the Forum Guidelines.

Could move up slightly, but at 70-80% erection and a ring you probably won’t even have to. I’m trying to avoid injury, so I don’t stress myself out too much - mostly just a tight tourniquet at the base and then a squeeze at the head creates a good amount of pressure for me, personally.
