Linear Routine Results

I’ve been trying variations of the established “Newbie Routine”. I was doing 200 jelqs for 2 out of 3 days (1 rest day). I was seeing decreased EQ, so I backed down to 100 wet jelqs.

I’m considering switching to the Linear Routine. I might start at 50 or 60 jelqs for my first week and add 10 each week.

For those of you who have started the Linear Routine, how many of you have seen measurable results and how long has it taken you?

I gained .375 inches in BPEL in a little over a month. I haven’t measured girth yet since I did that measurement 2 weeks into my routine.

Alright. It sounds like a lot of people are having a lot of success with the linear routine. I think I’m going to switch.

Can anybody answer this: When jelqing, should you feel a solid amount of pressure building at the end of the penis and glans as you complete each jelq?

I’m wondering if I’m using the appropriate amount of force.

I Usually feel a small amount of pressure, not quite to the point of pain, but a definite pressure.

Would you say that you experience some slight discomfort — but without sharp pain?

Towards the end of my workouts i tend to get to that point. Just be careful and watch for discoloration and positive/negative PI’s.

I usually get some red spotting, am I jelqing too hard or too much?

I started the Linear Routine as I’m a complete newbie one month ago and I’ve gained 1/4 an inch in length and 1/8 an inch in girth.

I add 10 jelqs every week (started at 30) and do JAI stretches for 2 seconds on/2 seconds off 15 times in every direction. I didn’t add this set of stretches until two weeks into PEing.

I’m a firm believer in the “less is more” approach, regardless of what type of penis you started PE with. The body treats EVERY tear/area of stress the same: when you break down muscle from heavy lifting, your body overcompensates by adding MORE muscle to the affected area during rest than was originally there.

When you break a bone, your body overcompensates by adding MORE calcium during rest into the broken bone than was originally there.

The same can be said for tissue, skin, and hair ‘damage’.

You can read my thread in the newbie forum (“Amazed at newbie results”) for more information on how I approach it.

Also, something else that’s just as important - you have to keep telling yourself that your PE is working and your body will respond appropriately. That’s why placebo effect trials are done in so many studies: if people believe what they’re taking will help them with problem X, then it will, because they BELIEVE it.

You have no idea how powerful the human mind is.

Okay. Yesterday I did 200 jelqs. I felt that I could do more and get a better PE session in.

I think I’m switching to this linear routine today. I’ll start with 50 jelqs per PE day.

JAI stretches? I’ll have to search that.

You may want to take 3-4 days off before switching your routine up. I’ve read a lot of guys like to take a short break before switching their routines. Also, I have yet to get any red spots or discoloration. However, I started at only about 20 Jelqs per day so I was able to slowly condition my dick to the increased pressure and blood flow.

I switched to 50 jelqs today.

Today, my flaccid hang was not as low and full as when I was consistently doing 200 jelqs per session. I have been using the newbie routine for about a month though and not seen any erect gains.

200 jelqs PI’s: veins more visible, funny tingling/tickling sensation in penis when about to get an erection, lower and fuller flaccid hang, after some time on 200 jelqs, I noticed a decrease in frequency of erections, EQ increased again after taking a break from 200 jelq for a few days, no erect gains yet after about a month of jelqing

50 jelqs PI’s (after first day): lesser flaccid hang (as compared to flaccid hang during 200 jelq newbie routine), did not achieve erections after routine, no other PI’s available since it has only been one day.

I’m thinking I should be doing less than 200 jelqs per session, given the decreased EQ on that regimen. But, given the lesser flaccid hang after 50 jelqs, I’m wondering if I should be doing more. Should I immediately try a larger number of jelqs (maybe 100?), should I continue at 50 jelqs per day and follow the linear routine, or should I take a 3 or 4 day break before making any changes, as UCRugger suggested?

(Sorry for speaking of you in the third person, UCRugger)

No worries :-)

Cool, UC.

Any suggestions? I just need a direction to move in. I’m thinking I may go somewhere between 50 and 100 jelqs per session (maybe 70).

I’m at 60 right now on my routine, and I’m getting pretty good PI’s. I’m just taking things slow and steady… I can upload my workout log if you would like so you could take a look at it

Yeah, please. I’d appreciate it.

I think I’ve been a bit impatient up until now. I’m going to stick to 50 per session and slowly ramp up. Did you do 50 per session for an entire month?
