Had a few basic questions.
1.). I decided to start w the manual newbie routine since like you said it’s best to learn the basics. But it doesn’t say online how long this routine should last? Is it 6w, 3m, year?
2.). The newbie routine is only like 30 minutes 2 days on 1 day off. Is this really enough trauma? I remember when reading through posts on hanging guys would hang for 8 hrs/day with 15 lbs and very few rest days, can you really gain from a few manual exercises?
3.) Once I’m done w the newbie routine I’m going to add a device, probably an extender or possibly a hanger since I already have one. In your post it says to do 6w and then switch devices/methods. What about switching length devices over shorter periods? Like let’s say Day 1 manual exercises day 2 hang day 3 extend day 4 rest? Or could I even hang in the am and do manual exercises at night?
4.) how soon would one normally add girth exercises in once you finish the newbie routine?
Thanks man, much appreciated, just trying to come up w a game plan very overwhelmed right now and want to make this work
I’ll give you some advice but I’m not the be all, end all of PE knowledge here. I’m not too bad at it but I just don’t want you to read only my stuff and nothing else. As for advice…
1. A minimum of 90 days. People sometimes see gains with little modification out 6 months to a year. You just ride it till it stops giving gains and you want to try something else. But 90 days is the recommended minimum.
2. I suggest reading this. thoughtfulgold’s Gains Theory: What mechanisms do they use and how do they differ? as I talk about trauma types and why conditioning determines who gains from what different routines and levels of intensity.
In short though, since you’re new it takes less to get results for you. As your penis toughens and becomes more accustomed to the traumas and you exhaust Newbie Gains you’ll need more intense or longer durations more than likely. A non issue at the start though. Starting hard now causes stalled gains, injury and losses in that order.
3. My Scheduled Trauma theory is based around a trauma schedule as a whole in a 6 week or greater period. Mixing it up at such short intervals will minimize the longterm benefit and double the rate and areas of the penis that will become conditioned.
In short, a length set for 6 weeks preps you for girth and at lower intensity than if you did both for 12 weeks. If that makes sense.
4. Honestly, since you haven’t started the Newbie and gotten results I cannot answer that at all. Don’t overthink it.
Also, read this if you haven’t. Advice I wish someone had given me when I first started.
Best of luck as well. Just take it easy, get used to doing a PE routine period and to checking your PIs. That’s all you really need to worry about right now.
