Hey men. I’ve been reading this forum on and off for over a year now, I joined recently. First time post. I’ll try to pack some info in here. Did some on and off stuff until around April. Light stretches and what my idea of jelqing was until I saw the video (basically, I was jerking off a little differently). Pretty sure I went from 6.5” to 6.8” just doing that, though it’s hard to tell, as I probably wasn’t doing BPEL measurements properly. My dong is certainly bigger than it was 10 years ago. Exercise, or nature? I don’t know, but I know the exercises are working now, because once I got serious, the changes have been phenomenal. Started in earnest in the beginning of April using my variant of the newbie routine. Stretches + jelqing, basically. I was pretty uneven in my application. I’d do some really long sessions, get sore, then not do anything for days. This works for me. Since I was able to join and view the videos, progress has been phenomenal. I’m up to almost 7.5” BPEL (really starting from 6.8” BPEL in April), which is insane. My dong is a very different contraption. I suspect I can get it up to 8” with a few more months at this level of training, which is sheer insanity. 8.5” would be a sort of ultimate goal, I figure to cement gains. Circumference might have changed a little bit (I’m around 5” over most of my length, maybe 1/4” more at the base), but I’m training for length. I’m happy with my girth, except on the end.
The routine I use is the newbie routine, but I do it for much longer. I’ve mostly concentrated on wet jelqing variations, as I believe/d this does the most for “true” rather than ligament oriented size. My recent huge gains are almost certainly from upping my stretches, and doing them at higher angles. Length of time may be as short as a half hour total, or as long as two hours. I am fortunate my present life situation allows such heavy workouts. Lately I have concentrated on a lot of hot wraps: before, during and after. I make ‘em real hot. I think a lot of heat makes a big difference. The stretches are just the standard “simple manual stretch” stuff in the videos. Jelq variations; the standard wet jelq at anywhere from 20% to 60% or so, making sure I give a good overlap; having the ending hand still tugging while the new hand is fairly far up seems to jack up the intensity a lot. I have also done something I read about in one of the forums to work on the head: basically grip the base in a tourniquet grip, and slooowly work as much blood into the head as I can with a slow jelq with the other hand. This works well at higher erectile levels; 40%-80%. I think it thickens up the head.
Some other facts which may help others. I’m in my late 30s. I’m a recreational bodybuilder, so I take a lot of supplements. I did my first cycle of trenbolone acetate back in the month of April. I strongly suggest you don’t use this stuff; it is scary and dangerous. I actually started getting serious about this because I figured maybe the tren cycle could have a positive effect on my dong. I know female to male transsexuals use the stuff to grow dicks. It is considered the world’s strongest androgen, so it may have had a positive effect on me. If it did have such an effect, the gains came later; at the end of my cycle in April, I had the same length. Anyway, that is a data point. Maybe some other bros have some experience with this substance. I actually tried applying it transdermally to my unit, but this is basically impossible. Another interesting substance I have been using recently is cissus quadrangularis extract. I suspect this actually does have a positive effect on healing. I was taking it for a tendon injury, which is what it is useful for (it’s the best such substance for injury other than IGF-1). It seems to help my dong heal up and grow also, which is great. Other substances which may or may not have an effect: I take cialis when I do steroid cycles, and dealing with the aftermath. Otherwise: no boners at all. Sometimes I take it for fun. I also chew tobacco, which is probably bad for me, since it restricts circulation: but who knows: it may have some positive effect. It has positive effects on the hormonal profile. Science can be counterintuitive sometimes. Finally, I eat hundreds of grams of protein a day, take multivitamins and a lot of fish oil. Standard bodybuilder fare.
I could tell stuff was happening once I got serious. When I’d go to the bathroom, it felt .. Heavier: like there was more meat there. Boners were off the hook; blue steel, baby! Didn’t get any BPEL gains at first, but I knew stuff was happening. Growth in weightlifting is often like this. You can feel your body reorganizing for a growth spurt, even if there are no measurable changes. So, take heart fellows. This is an amazing thing. You can get big all over!
Problems? Red spots. They were horrific at first, but they seemed to just go away as my dong got tougher. Now I don’t get them at all. I did notice they were somewhat correlated with alcohol use, which makes sense based on alcohol physiology. Soreness is no biggie; my tunica is now about as sore as all my other muscle fascia. I’m pretty in tune with my body from the weights, so I know when to back off.
Anyhow, I probably won’t post here too much, but I wanted to say thank you to all you guys for making this possible!
