Hey. So 5 years back, I got into it for around 2-3 months and did the whole beginner routine. The only thing I really added to the stretching and Jelqing was fowfers at night and definitely saw changes. I was more concerned about feel and looks than actual measurements because I know the ruler can be the worst enemy, so I measured once and never looked again.
The story kind of ends there though. As excited as I was, not only about the effects of proper PE, but the mental confidence it also brought which I think is also important to bring up, I stumbled on these types of articles and user posts. It immediately turned me away and I wanted to see if science or more medicinal breakthroughs might be uncovered in the coming years, so I stopped completely. It also happened to be a time where I also had a breakup, so I cut ties with PE completely. I wanted to ask you, since you have thousands of posts and on these forums and I’m sure alot of insight, has there been any new approaches, insights to these problems or injuries?. Is there anyway to really know whats going on?. I just started acouple weeks ago with a similar beginner routine and its going well. Just curious if there is any new science, even anecdotal about whats good, bad etc. Obviously erect jelqing, cold stretching are no nos but would love to hear if there are any new approaches to routines etc to the safest gains possible. Havent been here in a while but from my take on new readings, it seems the less is more approach is actually something that has alot of people in good standing with their PE routines. Cheers
