Question about a new routine.

So I’m almost done with a 3 week break to get me EQ back to a normal level, and based on some good info I got from here ——————————————————>Warning! If you haven’t gotten improved erections: I’ve decided to try a less is more approach. I came up with a new routing, and I wanted to put it one here and see what you all thought about it.

1) 5 Minute warm wrap.
2) 5 Minutes of manual stretches. Two sets of five 30 second reps in all directions (down, left, right, straight-out, and
Circular stretches) with a one minute break in between sets.
3) 5 Sets of erect kegels with 10 reps of five second squeezes. Restore erection after each set.
4) 50 Slow (2 to 3 second) jelq strokes with an over-hand ok grip. Restore erection levels after every ten strokes.
5) 50 Slow (2 to 3 second) jelq strokes with a standard ok grip. Restore erection levels after every ten strokes.
6) 5 Minute warm wrap.

Note: This routine is to be performed every other day equal to three days in a week (on, off, on, off, on, off, off). Rest days are completely off except for optional warm wrapping.

Note: Jelqing should be done with good form and focus. Quality not quantity.

Note: Monitor gains and EQ level to determine if this routine works.

That’s basically my routine and it has worked great for me. I do a little more stretching and jelqing but you can always work up to more.

Thats encouraging. I plan to check my gains and EQ every week to see how things are going, and whether or not I should increase or decrease my routine. Thanks for the reply.

Have you finish newbie routine?

What was your routine like before?

I myself am going through a similar situation and to me your routine doesn’t seem like a less is more type. Atleast for me anyways. I was doing fairly heavy routines that were not working for me. I took a decon break and came back with a routine that is half of yours pretty much and it is working amazing. I actually gained more in the 2 weeks of this routine then the 5 or 6 years I spent doing too much.

Depending on your previous routine and length of decon break, you should consider a real less is more routine. It took me 6 years to realize that I was doing too much. Imagine what I could have gained in those years. Now, like I said, in the first two weeks of my routine I have gained more than in those years.

My routine at the moment is:

10 min mannual stretching
50-60 wet jelq at 50 perecent erect
Kegels through out the day

I can’t leave heat out especially. My simple routine takes me about 1.5 hours because I am constantly heating up my penis in between sets. I use a rice pad that I keep hot for the whole time. I spend a huge percentage of the time heating and twisting my penis lightly. I find the heat and twisting leaves my penis very flexible and I get a much better stretch and jelq.

If you feel you are a less is more person then you should start off very light and work up to something more when you are ready. For less is more people, which I believe I am, your whole goal should be to get a good work out without over working. So really focus on the not over working part and your good workout will fall in your lap. Anyways I hope I have helped or provided some insight based on my experience and mistakes.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Horsedick99,
To answer your question, yes I have finished the newbie routine and I gained about 1/8 inch in length from it. Once I felt like I was ready I moved on to a more intense routine. I took to big of a jump though.

AndyB123,
To answer your question, after the newbie routine I jumped into a routine that was as follows:

100 erect kegels 6 days a week.
200 wet jelq strokes 6 days a week.
3 sets of 30 horse squeezes 6 days a week.
15 minutes of manual stretches 3 days a week.
And of course 5 minutes of warm wraps before and after each routine.

To be fair I did gain 5/8 inch in length and 1/8 inch in girth in a months time. However, I noticed my gains stopped after week three and my EQ got so bad it was in the neighborhood of E.D. To me our routines seem pretty similar, and compared to the routine I was on before it’s a huge step back. And, from what I’ve heard PE is one of those things, like working out, that you have to find your personal money zone. You have to balance exercise and rest in order to find your growth zone. I started this routine yesterday after three weeks completely off, and I got a good pump. I was able to get a healthy erection right after the routine, and I woke up with great morning wood. As long as my EQ stays where it is or gets better and I have gains then I’ll know I’m in the right spot. If it’s too much I’ll step back again. If it’s too little I’ll step it up.

Oh, and it’s worth noting that I gained a little, about 1/16” in length, after my off period. That, in my mind at least, reinforces that rest is essential to growth. Let me know what you think.

Looks like you know your stuff pretty well.

I think you can stand to do more stretching than that. Mostly people run into problems with over training on jelqing or girth work. 5 minutes of stretching is probably too little. It seems people can often can get away with stretching or even hanging almost every day without suffering in their EQ. Obviously this isn’t universal, however, it’s been my experience.

Also you may wish to consider a cool down rather than a warm down.

Thanks for the reply Tweaking. I have a couple questions for you.

1) Would it be best to stretch for 5 minutes 6 days a week or would it be better to increase the duration of my current stretching routine and keep the rest days?
2) Would you care to describe a cool down for me or post a link to a thread that covers the subject?
3) Is my jelqing where it should be now? The info on that is varied and I get conflicting answers. What is your opinion?

Thanks.

1) The latter option :)

2) A cool down is pretty much applying something cold to your penis, preferably while its still semi elongated or puffy state (eg before it gets a chance to turtle). So ice in a bag or a cold pack are probably best, but even cool or cold water also work. The best thread about it I’ve seen has pretty much all the info: Cool Down - YES You NEED It!

3) Well I do my jelqing by time not counts as I find it easier, but by my calculations it looks like you’re doing about 5 minutes of jelqing (assuming 3 second strokes, which should be the minimum). Now you’ve said you want to do a less is more routine. Is that because you think you’re a less is more person? I think most people are more is more types. 5 minutes is definately on the ‘less’ side. In fact it’s almost a minumum. If you can do 10 minutes and still get good PIs then there’s no reason not to. I can’t really give you an answer. Just watch your PIs.

I believe most people should be consistently but gradually increasing both the intensity and duration of their workouts, eg, when the duration becomes too long, add intensity and shorten duration. When you can cope with that, add duration again. etc.

Ok. I’ll up the jelqing to 10 minutes, and implement a cool wrap at the end of my routine. If my EQ starts to decrease again I’ll back off. One last question for you if you don’t mind. Should I up the stretching to 10 minutes or 15 minutes or more? I have read that you recover from stretching much faster then jelqing. And even with the previous routine, which was clearly way too much, I got a ton of length gains.

Oh, and to answer your question I’m not sure yet if I’m a less is more person. I know that when it comes to weight training I am. I don’t know how applicable that is to PE.

You were at 15 minutes before and gaining very well, based on your stats. Why change it?

Weight training (or anything else) has zero proven correlation with PE.

True! Why change something that’s working?
