What do you think of my routine?

Hey all,

First time posting. Looking forward to all the great input/advice.

I’ve been doing PE pretty routinely now for several months (on and off for about a year), using a water pump, jelqing routine and manual stretching. I’ve been good about doing the pump for 10-15 minutes 3-5/week, stretching as much as I can, and jelqing almost every time before I pump for about 5 minutes.

I have definitely noticed improved EQ and overall hang. My flaccid hang is just more plump and full now throughout the day. Additionally, I m able to pump now to well above the 8.5” mark on the pump’s ruler, whereas before I could barely reach the 8” mark. Not sure how accurate that is, but I have definitely gained.

Recently I bought weights for hanging. And here’s where I’d love y’all’s input. Right now, my routine looks like this:

1. Warm up - 5 minutes with heating pad
2. Manual stretch/manipulate - 2/3 minutes to restore blood flow
3. Hang - 10-15 minutes 2.5-4.5 lbs (depends on the day)
4. Swing dick/helicopter/slap against leg - restore blood flow
5. Warm down - 5 minutes with heating pad
6. Manual stretch - 2/3 minutes
7. Hydro pump for 10-20 minutes - semi hard

Sometimes I will fit in a second hanging session later in the day, always warming up first.

I continue to manual stretch as much as possible, just fitting it in when I have time. I find lying in bed in the morning or before I fall asleep is a good time for that. Oh, and I try to kegel as much as I can.

So, what do y’all think? I’m definitely bigger than when I started PE overall, maybe by as much as .5” in BPEL, but I’m trying not to measure too much right now. I’ve only been doing this routine for about two weeks.

What would y’all change/add, if anything?

BPEL - 8.75”
BPEG - 5.85”

Goals:

BPEL - 9.5+
BPEG - 6+

Not everyone will agree with this, but I would switch your hanging routine to an all day light hanger ( 1/2 lb.) and not do the jelqing. And never do clamping. Clamping makes rapid gains, but at a terrible cost to future gains, long term sensitivity, and appearance in my experience.

Increases in post pump erection length seem to proceed growth, while it seems like the difference between normal erect and post pump erect length indicate the speed, with a larger difference indicating you’ll have faster gains. There seems to be a similar relationship between stretched flaccid length and erect flaccid length. The bigger the difference between stretched flaccid and erect length, the faster you’ll gain length from PE.

Water pumps are more effective in many ways, except the ease of use. If you feel like water pumping is too much of a hassle in the future, a pumping cylinder, electric heating pad, and rigged aquarium pump while using the computer or watching TV is basically effortless.

Your goals will probably shift as you gain to larger and in the long term the game is all about making regular progress while avoiding collagenizing the penis. Slow and steady wins the race.

Hey, thanks for your great reply. Very informative.

Since my last post, and your reply, I have continued my research and changed a few things.

I am now hanging at 4.5 lbs for 20 minutes, twice a day. I warm up and down the same way as before. I switched to this hanging routine after reading the hanging 101 guide and realizing I could probably hang for longer than just 10 minutes.

I would consider an ADS, but for me, I think the convenience of shorter sessions works better for me at the time.

I did, however, invest in a vacuum pump, which should be arriving today. I just got tired of the hassle of taking a bath every time I wanted to pump. So, I’m looking forward to that.

So, my routine looks like this now:

1. Warm up 5-10 minutes with heating pad
2. Manual stretch 2-3 minutes, all directions
3. Hang 20 minutes, 4.5 lbs
4. Swing dick/light jelq/helicopter
5. Warm down 5-10 minutes
6. Short break
7. Hang 20 minutes, 4.5 lbs
8. Warm down 5-10 minutes
9. Manual stretch 2-3 minutes all directions
10. 10-15 minute pump, 70-80% erection

Hey again,

Just thought I’d post an updated routine here and solicit some of the more experienced users’ opinions for advice regarding improvements to it.

Currently, put simply, my routine consists of two twenty-minute, 4.5 pound hanging sessions per day and two pumping sessions of about 10 minutes each, using a vacuum pump.

In more detail, the routine goes:

Warm-up, 5-10 minutes with heating pad
Manual stretch, 2-3 minutes all directions
Hang, 20 minutes 4.5 lbs
Swing dick/light jelq/slap against leg
Warm down, 5-10 minutes with heating pad
Manual stretch, 2-3 minutes all directions
Pump, 10 minutes @ -30 kpa
Rest/Repeat

I’m mainly concerned with length gains at the moment, as well as not “overdoing” it with hanging. I have read that hanging should be done alone and not with any other exercises, but my thinking is that the blood flow from pumping might help facilitate healing, and, since it works in a different way than hanging, is a good supplement.

What is the rule concerning length v. Girth gains? I’ve heard that length gains are sacrifices for girth gains. Is that the case?

Also, should I be jelqing before I pump? A senior user advised against jelqing (maybe because I hang). Like I said, I really don’t want to overdo it and cause injury.

What, if any, advice do y’all have for my routine?

Thanks so much!

Hey man, I’m not a Pro (yet), but here is what I think:

I am of the same belief regarding blood flow; however, -30 kpa (kilopascals?) that’s almost 9 inHg and seems a bit intense. If you’re consistently causing strong edema, it might be less beneficial because you are stretching the skin and not the smooth muscle/connective tissue.

I don’t think this is the case for everyone. I think a good balance of length and girth work complement each other. I think some people run into a “sacrifice” one for the other because the penis can only heal so fast; so a girth or length dominant routine actually might be good for targeting a specific goal. There are reports of girth (expansion) exercises adding to length, and ADS users adding girth (albeit not substantial). So again, I don’t think it is the case for everyone.

It depends on how hard you jelq. If you’re using it as a warm up stretch, I think that’s fine. Forcefully squeezing followed by intense pumping may be a bit much, and may require longer rest time.

Overall, I think it is pretty solid. But keep an eye on your EQ, morning wood, etc… If your penis is too tired rest more.

Good luck man!

First of all i want to wish you good luck and i hope that you will achieve your goals. You are already huge.

Personally i think that if you replace the hanging completely with manual stretching you will gain more and faster. Hanging in my view should be done as long time low force approach. Hanging with low weight for hours is better than hanging with a lot of weight for 20 minutes.
Instead i would stretch for 30-40 minutes every day.

Another thing that you can do if you have the time is to hang for an hour with low weight and then stretch for 20 minutes with a little bit more force.

I appreciate your well wishes. I’m definitely making gains, I can tell. I recently did a measurement and was pushing 9” BP. Also, in the hydromax, I’m regularly up to a level that I used to never reach, so that’s a good sign.

I have definitely added more manual stretching, as I am convinced it is the best bang for your buck, so to speak. I also purchased an ADS, which I have been wearing for as much as 4 hours a day most days. So, yeah, stretch-heavy routine for now.

I still pump after every time I hang, but I’m just trying to get as much time under tension as possible, whether it’s hanging, stretching, or using the ADS.

I’m starting to think of adjusting my goal to 10” BPEL. I don’t want to be unrealistic; that would mean another 1 and 1/4 inch growth. But, hey, with time? Who knows?
