Newbie about 8-10 weeks an initial impressions

I am a newbie, and I have not been measuring and tracking much. However, I thought I would just try the newbie routine for a while and just see how it goes.. An experiment. Thank you for this site.

I am up to 10 min of stretching and 25 min of wet jelq in the newbie routine.

My impressions so far:

1) relaxed size has really improved. This has been the biggest change so far. I am a major grower, so seeing this has been a nice ego boost.
2) Erect girth size increase is noticeable, but not dramatic. Still happy with the results so far.
3) Veins are showing much more.
4) I don’t notice any real length changes.

The amount of time and dedication to this is the biggest challenge. I try to tack it on to my early morning workouts in my home gym, and this results in 1.5 hours between PE and normal exercise.

I have questions..

Is there a time frame where I should be thinking beyond the newbie routine? 6 months maybe? Has anyone here who gained an inch or more in length done so just doing the extended newbie routine? Or do most move on to add other methods?

Stay on the newbie for as long as you are making gains. It really shouldn’t be called the Newbie Routine; it is the foundation of all other routines, so it should be called the Standard Routine or the Foundation Routine or something similar. Most folk get most of their gains from it. Lots of folk screw up their gains by thinking they will gain faster by adding lots of other methods to it too early.

I would suggest keeping the Newbie Routine as your foundation, then when gains stop, add one other manual exercise picked according to your goals. Every couple of weeks, change the additional exercise for something else just to keep your tissues confused.

Yes, stick with what you are doing until it stops working. Then shake it up, either adding more reps and/or exercises.

As they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
