Some Newbie questions

Hey, this is my first post so be easy on me.

I’ve read thousands of posts on this site and I’m convinced I can gain by doing this PE thing. I have been doing the newbie routine for about 2 and a half months and have gained in the BPEL by about 0.3 inches but none in the EL department yet. I’m fine with that, I enjoy doing the exercises sometimes. However, I had to take a week off recently so I’m hoping I haven’t screwed up any gains.

In regards to measuring FSL, its very difficult for me to do because I always feel like I get different measurements. So I don’t really keep track of that.

I hear that people like doing the rice sock so much more then the washcloth which I do right now. So, my questions might seem kind of dumb but I’m a little confused.

How much rice do you put in the sock?
Do you literally put your unit in the rice in the sock or on top of the rice or it doesn’t matter?
Wouldn’t you be going through so many boxes of rice by doing it this way?
Once again I know these might be stupid questions but I want to get the best warmup possible haha

Also, I jelq while sitting down. What are people’s opinions on jelqing while standing? Or is there no difference
Do people jelq straight out or jelq up? Does it depend on your LOT? (I usually try to switch up and do straight out and then up halfway through)

All answers will be appreciated.
Thanks.

DO NOT put your unit inside the sock. When your penis touches the hot rice you will experience pain like you’ve never imagined. Fill the sock halfway, tie it off at the end and place it on top of your penis. You won’t have to change the rice often, if ever.

As far as jelqing angle is concerned I jelq strait down. I feel I get a better jelq than any other angle. Not saying its correct but it works for me. Do some research on LOT theory and test it out. Find what works best for you.

I also jelq downward. I do it because I am able to apply better pressure downward than any other angle.

Alright, thanks guys.

I try to mix it up. To the sides and up and down.

Socrtease, I got to ask. How did you manage to get over 1 inch gains in less than 6 months? Or am I reading it wrong? ;S
