Overtraining? Shrunk And Slightly Numb.

Happy to know I’m not alone..
I’m aware about the finger placement, been experimenting a lot, but with no success.

Never really tried the overhand grip for more than two or three strokes. Felt more like causing deformation and strangling my penis than pushing blood.

Guess I’ll try again, just not today. Might have accidentally over trained again sunday. Tried a very mild 2 minutes jelqing session yesterday and had no success at all. Penis felt stiff, shrunk… And its not a lot better today.
More rest, yay.

Not the first time that i post something like this but…

So frustrating to see it getting worse from time to time, without even knowing the problem nor how to solve it properly. It has been 3 weeks in this deplorable state.
I look down and see this slim, thin, light, often cold dick.
And i remember my girl commenting on how it feels thicker, bigger, how she got scared when saw it. Back when i was at my best.
Then i get more and more anxious, depressed, my libido and confidence/self-esteem go down.

Oh well, just my post-bath frustration… had to get it off my chest.
I know i will get better soon, but its not easy you know?

Give it time..

You are going towards dark places you don’t need to go.

It’ s only a time thing.

I am going to dark places indeed… Trying to get away from them.

Had sex yesterday, opted not to ejaculate. Today i feel slightly better, some veins showing up again (they tend to disappear when i shrink). Random erections; not turtled often. Woke up erect.

Yet i don’t know if i should start again already. I have no idea if my penis will respond well. Better safe than sorry i guess, right?

Hey Bill10, could you give me some advice and more detail about the finger placement?

Just finished my first session after a week off.
I was getting a lot of erections during the day and occasionally when waking up these past days.
Everything was ok until right before i started.

Anxiety took me over. I had a pretty good semi right after warming up, but as soon as i touched my penis and started to jelq, it shrunk a little and became stiff, very low malleability. Stopped stroking and started stimulating a little bit to let it more engorged. Very low sensibility, had some trouble. I was shaking (still am little bit). Only managed to do it after 5 minutes, and then continued jelqing for 3 more minutes. No post workout pump, no veins…

I’m just really scared of injuring myself again. Hope this session didn’t harm me.

Using the overhand grip you need to place the second finger to left cc and the thumb to your right cc. Reverse if you are left handed.

So, if your left cc faces the floor, your fingers should both point to your right when jelqing with the overhand grip, not down.

Where you stand it is obvious you can’t follow any specific routine. So, if I were you I would jelq only as long as needed. When you observe shrinkage stop. 2 minutes of work, then 2 minutes it is. 20 reps of quality jeqs before observing shrinkage? then 20 it is, do them and stop for the day. What do you say?

Oh, i got it, thanks! You don’t change hands while jelqing?
I will try to adapt it to the underhand grip. If i don’t succeed, then i will try getting used to the overhand.
Do you touch the underside of your penis (CS)? If not, do you touch your fingers at all during the strokes?

I’m trying this. Jelqing only as long as needed. I was too anxious yesterday, that caused the shrinkage.
I am committed to progress lightly. Planning to do 5 minutes of very light, slow, quality jelqs.

Today i woke up normally. Not bigger but not smaller. Had sex normally too, ejaculation is pretty decent, shooting far. That’s a good sign i guess.
Won’t do another session today.
Maybe 1 day on and 1 day off is the gentle routine that i need now.

You’re helping me a lot, Bill, and i can’t thank enough for our patience!

Don’t mention it mate. Men should help each other when in need.

Listen, you do not touch your fingers during the strokes. You do not touch your cs. Only the sides, the CC. Do not mistaken this. Your cs is on your right side of your penis, facing right. You don’t touch it. It is not the side of the penis. It is just your cs, facing right not down cause you have the curvature. So pressure only on both cc only and do not close the fingers. Fingers should not touch each other when jelqing.

Of course I change hands, when my right one gets tired. Forget the hands. Just jelq only the cc.

I’ve been down this road. It is extremely tough to break the cycle.

Im so happy to get all this support from you guys!

Do not touch the fingers…Ok, got it. This makes the Exercises Videos a little bit misleading, right?
I think not touching fingers is harder in the underhand grip. I’ll be experimenting tonight, lets see how it goes.

I’m wondering… Do you experience any glans expansion? Since you only focus on the CC’s.

Some videos are, no offense to the creators intented, especially jelqing videos which is shown with the closed ok grip. I guess it is fine to do it that way but you need hand experience to direct the pressure only on the sides, so ok grip is a out of the question for a newbie and /or an advanced. Experts may try it. They know the danger , but they also know how to place the hand and direct the pressure.

Yes, it is harder with the underhand grip better use the overhand until you get the hang of it. Then you can change the grip to what suits you best.

You do it right and you will see. It is not easily observable when you jelq using the overhand grip, for obvious reasons, but if you stop at any time while jeqing, you will see the glans swollen.

Damn… all this time i used the wet jelq video as a guide.

I’m back from a weekend trip, and back at the routine as well. I tried the overhand grip again, and did not succeed. It just doesn’t feel right. Its so different.
Which part of the fingers should i apply pressure with?

I did an very odd underhand grip, not sure if worked.
I noticed that when i do it right, the area under the glans is a lot wider. Will try to achieve this in my strokes.

Do the odd underhand if you are seeing expansion. Forget the rest.
