The newbie routine has proved it’s efficiency time and again as a starting point.30 Mins of PC exercises will give you great ejaculation control and improve erection strength, but won’t have great effect on size, except to synergistically help the other exercises. I’d go with several (at least 5) sets of ten reps of flexes. Make each set different, e.g. 1x10 long slow gradual, 1x10 short fast hard, 1x10 long as possible hard as possible etc.
Mix up regular and v stretches, sometimes stretch with one hand and massage the ligs or manually try to stretch the ligs with the other hand.
I believe lubricated jelqing to be far superior to dry, except when time and circumstance dictate dry or nothing.
Throw in some Uli’s and your ‘manual only’ routine has everything it needs.
Where is your warm up? It’s amazing how many people get great early results from the Newbie routine then suddenly grind to a halt when they ‘move on’. Usually they have followed the NR properly, including good warm up. As soon as they drop the warmup, their gains stop dead, or become much slower. Warm ups increase benefits way beyond the hassle it is to do them.
5 days a week is plenty. Every other day works well.
Important; read lots on this site. Everything you need to know is here.
More important; listen to your dick. It will tell you when you are over-doing it; what works and what doesn’t etc. Really concentrate on what you are doing and make it a meditation!
I started PEing on friday, and been doing the same routine since today (six days none stop). But I’m going to change it up a bit, and do them every other day. It’s true like you said, my penis has started to get tough, making it much harder to do jelp exercises.
Thanks for the info on how to do the routines, I’m going to try that way. Uli’s is the only exercise that I didn’t think of trying out, starting Friday, I’ll add that. I warm down after my PE’s, but never warm up, so I’ll start that too. Thanks for the help Firegoat!
