What I've Iearned so far from AM.

Hey, that’s great. I said it’s dangerous. I didn’t say it guarantees problems. It’s dangerous to mess with your piece. That’s a fact. Doesn’t make it wrong or stupid.

Yes increasing the amount of blood vessels in the area is one theory of enlargement. The guys that do chem PE use a recovery chemical to stimulate angiogenesis.

Cool to hear the progress, keep us updated.

I don’t know I did this AM thing and felt nothing like I did nothing, It’s very different from other forms of Pe.

I don’t know if I’m doing it correctly (rubbing downwards on the dorsal vein).

On a related but slightly different note, how dangerous would you consider exercising? (say dumbbell bicep curls, as an example) Curious to know your viewpoint.

How dangerous? I’m not a scientist so I can’t really quantify danger on a scale.. But it is dangerous to the muscle cells. They get torn down.That’s how you grow muscle. And when you overtrain, you can get hurt. That doesn’t mean it’s not rational to take up the endeavor.. Just like it’s not irrational to take up PE.. Like I said.

But as for PE, it’s made of smooth muscle and tissues that don’t respond the same way to stress that muscle does. Which is why you hear stories of people who say they jelqed badly once and years later still can’t do anything with their piece. That’s dangerous.

I believe this is a good perspective. :)

And the injuries you mentioned are likely from those who overdid (overtrained - in your words)

True. They don’t respond in the exact same way. However, healing back to a better state after a minor tear is what your body as an organism does. (Think of it as a mechanism for survival developed through evolution. When you try to lift slightly more than what your muscle can handle, there will be tears in the muscle and your body repairs it back in such a way that after the healing process your muscle is slightly stronger than it was prior to the tear).

And overdoing any exercise results in an injury.

It’s just the extent of overdoing differs between a traditional exercise and PE.

No. I believe this is where your reasoning contains a logical jump.

These people suffered from injuries highly likely because they didn’t listen to their dick (they didn’t care about the PIs) and they were likely more focused on increasing the intensity.

I believe sta-kool mentioned something similar already.

I understand you’re concerned with the reports of people who mentioned such extreme injuries. However, I believe, you should also factor in the number of people who have been safely doing PE for years. Look at the corresponding proportions of each group. Compare them.

Having said that, I do accept the possibility that PE may not be for everyone. It could very well be the case. However, you would definitely know whether PE is for you up front if you monitor your PIs closely.

My two cents.

A-Unit, congrats on your gains and improved EQ!

I’ve given AM a go and like it so it’s something I will add to my existing stretch routine. It’s like a good warm up before edging at the end of a session. I also suspect it will compliment my efforts to add girth which is no bad thing!

Thanks mate. The AM process has been a reveIation to me. Improved E.Q., 1/8” Iength increase and the potentiaI for more of the same in the weeks to come have me Iooking forward to each session Iike I did when I first started P.E.

I woke up this morning so hard it was aImost painfuI and I was cIearIy fatter mid girth, but wasn’t in a position to measure. This is a good time for the entire P.E. Community as we are keen to do work and share experiences and ideas. I can’t think of a better situation to be in.
