I’ve made most of my gains from manual stretches. Gradually increasing the tension until I saw results was the key for me, as I’ve never had enough free time for long PE routines. I like the “pump handle” stretch better than side-to-side, personally, because it hits the ligs and septum better. Same concept, but you go up and down. I also saw another uptick in progress when I started varying the tension throughout the stretch. Pull a little harder each second for five seconds, kegel and hold the highest pull for five seconds, and then back off to a comfortable stretch for five seconds. So mapping that out a little better:
(Start from a comfortable stretch)
Pull harder, harder, harder, harder, harder
(Kegel, then relax)
Hold 2 3 4 5
(Back to a comfortable stretch or reestablish grip if needed)
Hold 2 3 4 5
Repeat
Do that 10 times for each direction. This technique got my BPFSL up to 8.5”.
The problem with that is that my BPEL is 5/8” shorter than that, which is why I switched to pumping. I think adding more bundled stretches would have helped keep my BPEL and BPFSL progressing closer together, but I also wasn’t jelqing or edging after my sessions, so that could also be it. Definitely keep jelqs in there, and I would edge as a warmdown.
When you say 20 minutes of jelqs, it’s that continuous, or are you taking breaks every 50-100 jelqs?
