Has anyone ever tried a once or twice a week routine?

Has anyone ever tried a once or twice a week routine to any moderate success? It’s hard to tell if I’m a less is more guy. And if I am a less is more guy, how much less should I PEing? How many more days off should I be taking?

Right now I’m doing the Newbie routine all over again, but I’m really considering doing a once a week routine. Instead of doing 5 30-second stretches and 100 jelqs every other day, what if I did 500 jelqs and 15 30-second stretches every Monday? Or every Monday and Friday? What do you guys think?

Has anyone ever done this before?

Yeah. Lots of people have tried the less work to gain less version of PE before they give up and tell themselves it doesn’t work. The trouble with PE is it’s time consuming and annoying and boring. If you could, say, just do one routine a year maybe of 2 days duration, everything would be a lot easier. Never mind, those other things are probably more important.

A new user is currently trying this experiment: DGA’s Loads of Rest Routine!

Well, my first few years, I did a bunch of more is more routines. First a jelqing 1 on 1 off routine. I gained nothing. So I doubled the amount of jelqs. Time passed, still nothing. So I did 2 on 1 off and doubled it again. Nothing. So I did it every day. This didn’t work. Took some time off. Jumped into erect jelqs, ulis, sadsaks, horseheads, clamping, everything. Didn’t work.

I’m not proposing doing less because I’m lazy. I’m proposing doing less because perhaps that’s the only thing that works for me. Some people grew best from just edging every other night. Perhaps several hundred jelqs just twice a week or maybe even 25 jelqs every day is the only thing that could work. I don’t know.

Yes, I’m aware of this experiment. I’m thinking about volunteering to be a part of his experiment after I’m done redoing the newbie routine.

Maybe in 2 months or so I’ll start a 1-on 3-off routine for about 3 months or so. I’ll do maybe 10 30-second stretches and 100 jelqs on my on days.

Well I have been kind of doing this involuntarily for the past 1 month and a half, and it has worked for me so far. What I’ve been doing is just jelqing in the shower, probably 100 at max. Also I’ve been stretching during bathroom breaks etc, so nothing close to even the newbie routine. Have gained 1/4th of an inch since I started the 4Th of July. The stretches I’ve been doing every day, while the jelqs are a bit more random, sometimes maybe only once or twice a week

Honestly, I think we should always listen to our body, regardless of what routine we are in. Just because the routine calls for 2 days on 1 off, doesn’t mean we should consistently follow it. Rather, we should feel how our little man is doing. Like someone mentioned earlier.. If its tired, then rest.. If not, then keep at it.

I used to follow a routine, and after a month into it, I saw no gains. I stopped PE. After 3 months without doing it, I’m 2 weeks into it again.. And I must say that my penis is looking and feeling alot better. It’s more vienier when erect.. And has a more solid flaccid hang. I only do a rice sock warmup for about 5 minutes, then straight to jelques (about 30-50 jelques). My penis is already feeling alot bigger.. And I’m hoping that the whole “listening to your penis” thing works out in the long run. We’ll see!

Given your history, and assuming that you have taken a large decon break, why not give the new-newbie routine a go? You certainly could be a less is more guy. And that way you are trying something that was worked for others.
NEW newbie + advanced routine Then transition to the n00b routine at some point if needed.

That would be a smart way to go as well. it is good to have others to compare notes with if you are forging into new PE approaches.

Go back >10 years and the majority of posts were in the Experiment forum. For all that old timers like to "Hahahahaaa….silly n00bs!" about some of the things that new guys ask, we were trying absolutely batshit insane things back in the day. Because we have narrowed the field of what works/doesn’t, to the point that PE can now be safe and "guaranteed" for 99% of guys, very few experiments go on in the modern forums.

Wow. So you’ve been at it for 10+ years? Have much have you grown since you started? What worked for you? What didn’t?

I’d have to say though that 500 jelqs in one day is kinda hard core… But maybe it would work for you. Track your progress.

Better doing a small amount often than a lot of work infrequently, as a general rule.

Marinara, you’d probably know. Where’s the thread about the guy who grew like 3 inches just from doing 3 minutes of stretching and 50 jelqs 5 on 2 off for a number of years in the bathroom before work? He wasn’t a poster on here I don’t think, but his friend was.

I suspect you are referring to a thread started by Wadzilla. If the guy was never a regular poster on here, the thread will not be that useful, he can’t answer any question. But on a similar note, see the Bennett8’ thread. He’s my hero as far as PE is concerned.

Note to myself: maybe I should change my name in Marinara, since no one seems able to write it correctly.

Marinera is correct, less doesn’t necessarily mean less days but can be less work every day !

It’s really about matching intensity to recovery and understanding that too much or too little intensity wont work regardless of days off.

Yeah, the Bennett8 pics are the greatest evidence that one can actually grow their dick. Got any other good before/after pics? I had trouble finding any. Just a lot of guys who said they grew and wished they took before pics.
