Is this enough?

I use a 3 day on, 1 day off routine and recently I put the aided v-stretch and the inverted v-stretch into my routine. Well, this must have been too much on my dick because it went down from a little past 7”NBPEL to barely even 6.5”BPEL. Now obviously this made me very unmotivated and I began skipping sessions. This eventually led me to where I am now, about 6.3-6.4”BPEL. But today I took those two exercises back out and did my session. Now I feel great and am remotivated as this is a shorter easier routine.

For those wondering about my PE success. In a few months (about 3-4) I went from 6”NBPEL to 7”NBPEL. I did this using a newb routine, then the routine below that I created.

5 Min Warm Up With 30 Kegels
10 Min Stretch (All Directions For 30 Seconds Each)
5 Min BTC Stretch
5 Min A-Stretch
6 Min V-Stretch (Different Spots For 30 Seconds Each (Middle, Bottom, Top))
JAI Stretches 4 Sets
30 Kegels

Now for the question. Is this really enough? It seems like it wouldn’t be enough cuz it’s a 35 minute session counting the warmup, but it gave me good gains. The trouble started when I added more exercises so apparently I overtrained my dick. So like I asked, is this really enough to give me more gains?

P.S. When you answer my question, please answer it in your opinion. Don’t say something like, “well it must be because you gained from it” or, “everybody’s different”. If it’s not enough to make the average person grow more (as in grow another inch not from newb gains) then say it’s not enough. Simple as that.

Not jelqing?

Everybody is different.

Now I’m intimidated. Thanks a lot.

Well Growin, since I’ve never done a “stretch only” version of PE I can’t answer your question except in the way you don’t want it answered: if what you were doing before worked, it must have been right for you.

:shrug:

I thought you weren’t supposed to do girth and length exercises at the same time?

Why?

Jelqing is both a length and a girth exercise. The Newbie Routine uses both jelqing and stretching. You have to experiment and see what works best for you. If you had gains using the Newbie, why not continue?

Guys, In my opinion, it is worth the effort (and sore hands) to gradually work up to an intense 15-20 minute stretching routine. This has been extremely beneficial to me and others I see. Wadzilla hit the nail on the head with his last couple theories I believe (for me anyways). I am now seeing incredible gains from this. But yes, everyone is different, my point is, this may be worth the effort.

Growin: Stick to what you were doing when you were gaining until you stop gaining. Then my advise would be to take a break (at least a 10 days) then continue on.

horsehung inspired me to try a stretch only routine for 3 months. I bought an inline scale to see just how much pressure I was putting on my dick. I got up to a pretty intense 45 minute session, cranking in the 15-18 lb range. I got nada.

In the past 3 months, I’ve been hanging, mostly BTC. First set is 25 lbs and I’ll ride the fatigue down to usually 15 lbs. That’ll take 3-4 sets. I hot soak in between sets and finish with 30 minutes of jelqing. I’ve gained 1/4” in EL in 3 months and for a hard gainer like me, it’s very motivating. It’s 7 on, no off days.

Like westla says, you got to find what works for you.

So is this a pretty good length routine?
