How many jelqs do you do/ or time spent

Hi guys I’ve been lurking around awhile and I did 400 jelqs yesterday and my shoulders fell off. Serious though it’s hard to keep 60 to 70 percent erect for that long. I ok grip the head and ok grip the shaft and this works great for me. I use and ads (size doctor) which has added greatly to my flaccid state but not much for the erect length. Not understanding that much but it is hard to jelq that much

Sometimes I go like fast jelqs, super fast, like 60 in 2 minutes, and my shit stays puffy for like 5 minutes.lol

This.

30 minutes of jelqing a day and I ain’t satisfied if I’m not feeling any fatigue. But I haven’t been jelqing lately.

I started my exercise on july, 12th. Do jelq for about 10 minute at first but gradually 20 minute now.

Things going right for me. At night, I always have my penis erect very hard. In the morning also..

Hope I can gain my goal at the end.

I’m really glad I found this thread. The newbie routine recommends 200 jelqs to start (10 min) and then says to gradually ramp up to 30 min without giving a quantity of jelqs. Having begun to suffer overwork from doing 300 jelqs per session, I was so uncertain what I should be doing since 300 seemed barely above what a newbie would do, and it seemed not enough for a PE vet. It seems many men aren’t doing many more jelqs than what is recommended in the newbie routine. Currently I an doing what some have called “active rest.” Started doing 80 jelqs last week per session, then I added 10 for this week to make it 90 per session. Hoping to get back up to the 300 per session I was doing earlier, because I think my girth is suffering. I just need to make sure that I’m not too intense with it to avoid suffering from overwork again.

Yeah, about that. Inevitably, at some point, you get tired of the exercise and potentially start rushing or stop paying attention and just go through the motions. Thinking of it as a timed exercise, you might get frustrated when, damn, you still got ten minutes to go. Or a repetitive exercise where, damn, you still have 50 to go. In either case, the quality of the jelq suffers.

My point is, you should focus on the quality not the quantity. Here’s a living example, it usually takes me 20 minutes to do 100 quality jelqs. If I math that out real quick; that’s about 9-12 seconds each repetition, including the kegel, grip, movement, and hold. If I was to rush 200 in that 20 minutes, I think I’d be wasting my time. The movement would be too fast to do any real good.

I do count repitions, but I don’t usually keep track of how long it takes. The time it takes doesn’t mean a thing. The time my dick is under other than normal conditions, means everything. It’s gonna take as long as it’s gonna take, to do it right.

If: I did all 400 jelqs in my current routine, for the day, in one setting I would be jelqing up to an hour and a half, and it would have 22 and a half hours to return to normal, though it takes only 4-6 hours for that. 3/4 of the day there’s nothing happening and it’s going the direction I don’t want.

If a person can, I think it’s better to take the effects as they come, and as they start to fade, do it some more. Replenish the change, rather than smashing the hell out of it all in one go. Say, 50-100 a couple or several times a day.

100 good jelqs are just as good if not better than 200 jelqs that were too fast or poorly executed.

It’s a bit less is more, but if you think about it, a good slow and meaningful jelq increases the time spent that you’re inputting change. The time spent with the kegel and grip is gonna be the same regardless. What’s better, 3 seconds on the movement, 3 seconds on the hold; or 9 seconds on the movement, 3 seconds on the hold? One is actually more work done with the same mechanical effort.

Glad to see you here, 114life. Your posts are always a revelation. I can really tell the experience and confidence you built up in PEing. I have a question about your technique though. I’ve never heard of the necessity of kegeling for regular wet jelqs. In fact some other posts around TP even suggest not to kegel blood in while jelqing (at least on a beginner level). Am I missing something here?

After a quick search, I stumbled across this resource How to Jelq - Professional Jelqing and wondered how exactly kegeling in should protect from further trauma

I counted my jelqs before, but I have started doing minutes instead. I tend to do 12 minutes per jelq set and I do two sets per workout usually. I have made it out to about 10-12 jelqs per minute for me.

I appreciate the accolade, though it’s not deserved. I haven’t made any breakthroughs. What I know is from this forum and from reading the experiences of those willing to share before me. That’s what makes it so great here.

Kegeling before a jelq isn’t widely recommended, as most of the people that would read it, would just do it without regard to conditioning or experience. That’s evidenced in all the posts and requests for routines that we often see. It’s like asking a bodybuilder what they do to have such massive muscles. The response is “oh, I just lift this inordinate amount of weight 100 times a day” then the new guy, without any experience or conditioning tries to lift the same and gets squished. Everybody has to start somewhere, it’s best to start safe and then move up.

You definitely don’t want to kegel during the jelq, ever. The kegel will try to move blood, and if your hand is stopping it, you may damage the muscle and the valves. So don’t. Before the exercise only. For the same reason, you don’t want to kegel or cum while a clamp is fully engaged, tightly ringed is also risky, in my opinion.

I find kegels in conjunction with the jelq a necessity to get the expansion I’m looking for. I’m using them for girth, specifically. I also only do one-handed jelqs. Seldom, my off hand will assist my jelqing wrist to aid the slide down the shaft.

I believe what this means is, you can enhance the engorgement without having to work it as hard. You could squeeze the hell out of it and get really hard, or kegel it in, and squeeze it just a little to the same affect. If you’re not working it as hard to get the same result, the likelihood of trauma should also be reduced. Yet, another safe recommendation.

How I use the kegel with a jelq for girth
This is definitely not for you if: You’re new to jelqing or faint of heart. This is a very intense jelq. At the slightest twinge or tickle, reduce your intensity immediately or stop and restart with a lesser grip. Keeping the jelq motion slow is key to expansion and safety. If you move too fast you may overcome the vascular abilities of your dick and pop something.

I do this both wet and dry. However being circumcised, when dry, I don’t squeeze nearly as hard. It’s too harsh on the skin.

This should be done very slowly and very deliberately. With a 90%+ erection, I start my overhand grip as close to the base as possible, right up in my fat pad. Tourniquet squeeze, and see that your glans has expanded, relax the squeeze and at the same time kegel and hold, reapply the tourniquet, release the kegel. I sometimes do this several times in quick succession. You should be maxed out and fully engorged at this point, almost painfully. As you slowly start the jelq, slowly release the bottom of the tourniquet, by straightening your thumb and finger where they meet, move down the shaft. Ultimately focusing your grip on the sides of the shaft, not the top or bottom. You’ll likely find the optimal place to release the tourniquet completely, switching to more of a C grip, is mid to lower shaft. Don’t go all the way to the glans, stop before you get there. The hold at the end is up to you. If I did it right, and slowly enough, I don’t think the hold does any good. If you do it right, you will probably agree.

Be very careful with the tourniquet grip. Go slow. I can’t say that enough. Slow gives things time to expand and adjust and it also gives you time to react if it’s a little too intense. Slow.
