Linear Newbie Routine

Hi everyone，

Happy New Year! I am a new user from China. My English is very poor, so I decided to use the translation software provided by Google to help me complete this conversation. If there is something that is not clear, I hope you can forgive me.

Before I read this exercise program, I have started a three-week program and achieved some results. My penile circumference has increased by about 0.5 cm (conservative estimate). I am very happy about this.

However, my problem is that I started it with too many exercises, and I had to perform about 1000 jelqs almost every day. When I read the article, I realized that I had done too much, and that my penis was completely unable to erect after it, except that morning erections appeared.

What I want to know now is whether I should immediately stop the previous high-intensity training without doing any increase exercises at all, to wait for a while to calm down and restart the lower-intensity training in this tutorial. Or gradually reduce my training intensity and slowly turn to this tutorial? I am worried that if I stop training immediately, will my achievements disappear? And how long do I need to calm down?

Maybe go on a break and then start normal or reduced workout.

Hello All,

In the end of Dec ‘19 and beginning on Jan 2020 I have restarted my PE journey with the intention of sticking with it for at least 6 months consistently to see what kind of results I can achieve. The first 1.5 month I slowly introduced myself to the linear newbie routine (only warm up, 10-20 wet Jelq, warm down).. And I slowly worked up to between 30-40 Jelqs now.

My question is now this:
I have begun to add stretching into my routine. I found that logistically, stretching AFTER jelqing doesn’t make as much sense as stretching before doing my wet Jelqs.

Does anyone have feedback or opinions about whether or not this matters (whether you stretch first or Jelq first)?

In fact, it seems to me that it would be better to warm up, stretch, and THEN Jelq, warm down.

Does anyone have opinions or feedback on how to stretch effectively for max gains? Using a fulcrum?
I’m considering playing with 10 sec. Holds in each direction and doing 3 sets/repetitions minimum.

For me, stretching seems to put a strain on my penis that is different from Jelqing (obviously) and I’m not sure where the point of stretching too much or too little is quite yet. Essentially, I am looking for feedback on stretching effectively and efficiently.

Anyway, just wanted to post this here and see if I get any feedback or thoughts. I welcome them all!

The only thing I care about is consistency, quality, and getting/keeping gains, so whatever helps me on that path I am ALL for.

I really think you should stretch first because after yelking your penis is like half erect and filled whit blood and you can’t stretch in that condition. At least not in a efficient way.

So if you’ve already done a PE routine for a while should you do the advanced version of the linear routine or should you still start with the newbie version?

I like the simplicity of your routine and will start it soon. Will keep you updated on my progress.

I am on the tail end of 8 weeks into the Linear Newbie Routine and overall have had a positive experience. I am really trying to focus more on length gains so in these next 8 weeks I will be upping my stretching count. At the end of my 8 weeks, I am at 60 total jelqs each lasting 3 seconds with 3 sets of stretching (30 seconds in each direction) with 2 days on and 1 day off. I haven’t been able to measure an increase in length but I did measure an increase in girth of about .25” so it keeps me optimistic about the work I’m doing! I also think I’ve been very conservative with my workouts as I am really concerned about doing too much too fast and causing an injury that won’t heal but considering that I have an overall goal of gaining 1.5” in length and an inch in girth I think I’ve accustomed my penis enough and will be looking to increase training volume these coming 8 weeks.

I will likely increase volume by 10 jelqs a week and up my stretching by an extra set every week as well. I am a complete newbie so I was intrigued by this linear newbie routine as I wanted to take advantage of those newbie gains as much as possible and hope that my next 8 weeks will prove fruitful in the length department. Any length specific advice would also be greatly appreciated! I’ve read up on some different grip variations and best practices and am still trying to find the best way to stretch as I am uncircumcised.

Best of luck to everyone else on this journey and I hope to be back with good news!

After a month following the Linear Newbie routine I have gained half an inch BPEL and 0.1 inch EG. I’m very satisfied with those numbers. As indicated in my profile routine I was also pumping for about 20 minutes per day, just after jelqing exercises. That might have contributed to the accelerated increase in length and also in girth. Note that I didn’t do stretching since my main goal is to develop girth. I mainly use the reverse grip (handover) for jelqings in order to start as much as possible close to the pubic bone to develop girth at the base. I’m now at 200 jelqs per day, 5 days a week. Due to the conservative and safe approach of the Linear Newbie routine I didn’t develop any injury. Most advert reactions occurred after early pumping sessions, such like petechiae (red dots) and doughnut behind glans. After a month those effects are no longer occurring. Proper heat before and after sessions helped in this matter. Will continue with this routine setup for the most part of this year and see how it goes forward.

Looks like you simplified and reduced your routine from your Pump, Wet Jelqs And Kegels routine.

Nice gains, keep going for the long haul.

Thanks Mememto. Seeing how well PE techniques proposed in these forums are contributing, I more than ever consider my 8x6 goal as no mere fantasy but a reality within grasp.

Considering your starting position and where you are now. Yeah, absolutely. It’ll be work but you’ll get there.

Hey guys, quick question, what does 50-80% erection constitutes? How do I know when I’m in that range?

You know what a 100% erection looks like, right? Think of it in volume terms. 50% is probably too low, you probably want aim for the higher end and it will gradually dissipate as you go.

Also, the harder the erection, the better will be the gains in the long term. But the higher the chances of injuries when we start doing PE. Therefore, keeping a state of hardness between 60% and 80% is a safe way to advance in PE. It’s really hard to replicate the same level of erection during PE sessions day after day because of different factors. One day we may be more tired or less inclined to have good state of erection. Sometime you need some visual stimulation to start going, so starting watching X-Files episode might not be the best choice to initiate a constructive jelqing session, unless Scully is your type of startup! Just kidding.

Hello!

I am a newbie to Thunders and am sort of taking a look at the way things work around here. I see that the original post was trying to recruit people to try the Linear Newbie approach. My main fear with PE is injury. I want to go as slow as possible and as light as possible until I know what I’m doing. Also my overall goal is fairly modest at 7×5. I think this is where I want to start. I have read through this whole thread and have a fair concept of how to approach however any tips to starting safe and slow that I may have missed would be appreciated!

This whole site and thread seem fantastic. The hand holding that goes on for newcomers is the only reason I feel comfortable giving this a shot!
