The time for action is now

Came across this place years ago, back when forum registration was closed for long periods of time. Read through and thought, “Oh that sounds interesting” But I’d start and stop after 3 or 4 jelqing workouts giving up before seeing real progress, and even that was hard to manage, living with others at the time.

Years later all I could think was, what if I had stuck to my guns years ago? And I thought fuck. This. Two weeks ago I said to myself “RogueC, this starts today.”

Routine so far has been fucking around with newbie shit, basically. But I think I’ve found what’s working for me best as 1 day on 1 day off, 5 minutes warm up, 10 minutes jelq. It’s been really hard stopping myself from doing more. EQ tells me I’m riding the edge as far as what I can take, but seeing forward progress, it’s so hard to keep myself from over training. Took some measurements today and I think seeing this progress will keep me going. On my very best days, I couldn’t get past 5in MEG, so seeing a solid 5 1/8th or 5 3/16ths if I work on a exceptionally strong EQ. Provable forward progress which I think will keep me coming back for more this time, great to see, back when I originally found TP I was 4.75. The length gains don’t really seem substantive, we’ll see.

My first “I’m happy” goal is 6in NPBEL, which would be around 7in BPEL at my current weight. My first progress “checkpoint” will be 6.5/16.5cm BPEL and 5.5/14cm MEG, then 7/17.78cm BPEL and 5.7/14.48cm MEG as a long term, and of course, 8x6 as a grail. My girth is the part that I’m comfortable with, but I’ve always hated the length.

BPEL is a pain in the ass, these numbers are reaallly BPEL to get solid numbers. I could stand to lose 40 pounds, working on that again too. Pretty aggressive curve upwards starting near the base causing a fair amount of fore shortening both visually for me and cuts into my length measurements over the top. Later on I’ll look to straighten that out, when I’m ready for a pump.

Sometime soon I’ll take pictures. It’s hard motivating yourself to take those starting pictures when you’re this dissatisfied with initial size.

I’m military and due to work I’ll have to take a pause for May and June. I anticipate getting discouraged due to losing some forward progress. What have you guys seen as far as bouncing back from time off?

Welcome to the forums! As far as bouncing back from time off, it varies from person to person. Personally when I return from breaks I gain fairly easily for the first few weeks.

I use tailor’s tape and a flexible plastic ruler to measure length because of my curve. The standard around here is to just measure the space between point A and point B with a rigid ruler, but I think that’s dumb. I want to measure my penis, not empty space.

Don’t wait. Even fast beginner’s growth happens so slowly you’re going to want to be able to look at those beginning pictures and know, “I took that when I was absolutely as hard as I could get, and it’s smaller than what I measured today, so I really have grown. It’s not all in my head.”

Experienced fast and easy gains after a 2 months rest, but was able to do it just once. Tried one more time later and couldn’t reproduce the same results.

If you wish you can do few light jelqs each bathroom stop, like an maintenance routine, to keep the gains you already have. If that’s the way chosen, make the jelqs lightly if no warm ups are being done priorly.

Alright guys, almost 5 weeks in.

Changes in my routine
Now properly warming up for 5 minutes, instead of a sock with rice had a back heat pad from my weight lifting background, 45 seconds in the microwave and I’m good to go. Jelqs for around 15 minutes or until tender or I notice spotting to start. Possibly overworked in the last week, went light on the PE for 4 days and remeasured for a gain, good stuff. Plan on working up to ~60-80% jelqs for 20 min, once at that sustained and gains start tapering off I’ll start incorporating stretching.

Improvements to my work.
Got myself a aluminum ruler that is decently comfortable for BPEL. Been flattening the curve which I haven’t been prior to this. Assess I’ve likely grown .5cm and the other .5 is from straightening that curve out. Also tonight I picked myself up a spot heater for my office, should help with both my heating bill and decent PE. Like some have said, PE much more comfortable with warm hands and warm equipment. Fought off the urge to impulse buy a phallosan or something similar. It’ll wait.

Tracking with bare numbers pretty unimpressive but following my progress by volume gain has really been encouraging (although I know it’s not perfect). 15%! Too slow to really notice visually that much, but feeling it a bit in my hands. Thank you guys for the community. Let’s see what the next month brings.

Moved over to cm tracking for more accuracy, whew lad, what can I say? This is great. These newbie gains have to stop soon, which kind of makes me sad. I’ve been enjoying the progress so much that I might need to work on my internal motivations when the numbers stop changing week-to-week. Morning wood my tunica is totally different, much better EQ. The hardness has gone from the give of a just ripe peach to now where it feels like a raw sweet potato, *hard* with the tiniest of give.

Working with 70-90% jelqs, 2 days on 1 day off for 20 minutes. One of those days I’ll incorporate 5 minutes of stretching.

Fuck ya boys.

Great progress so far! Stay consistent and adapt as needed and lad soon you’ll have wood hard enough to drill into a maple tree.
