When Should I Increase The Number Of Reps Or Time?

Hello all, I’m currently on the newbie routine and am jelqing for 10 minutes a session, but I usually don’t reach 100 reps. I tried a couple of weeks ago but stopped because I though I damaged my penis, but now it feels much better. I do two days on, one day off, and I’m on my fourth day. I know it sounds crazy but I already feel a difference in my erections and even when looking at myself flaccid. Anyways, when should I start to increase my reps or time? Thanks in advance.

Maybe when you can achieve 100 reps without any difficulty

I’m over a year in and I do roughly 200-300 a session but you really have to feel it out and listen to your body

What I meant by that is that the 10 minute timer usually goes off before I can reach 100 jelqs. Maybe I should just do 100 instead of following the timer? Also have you had any noticeable gains since starting?

Quality is more important than quantity. When you’re counting it’s easy to just shoot for a number and not focus on what you’re doing.
If you really want to do 100, just set a stopwatch and do 100 quality jelqs then see how long it took to do them.
Divide the time by 10 and you know how long it takes to do 10 jelqs, then in future when you want to add another 10, just add that amount of time on. Or you can just add a minute or two whenever you feel you are not getting benefit from the amount you are doing.

Time and numbers are ultimately irrelevant - some days your penis will feel it needs more, some days less - with experience you’ll know when to stop each session.

I’ve always followed the 3 seconds as a minimum time for 1 jelq. Basing it on time and never how many reps. Pay attention to your dick… Never go so much as to feel any pain afterwords or the following day. When I stared PE I gained about 1/8th of an inch right away because of jelqing, but the rest was due to other exercises. That being said, I think the real benefits to jelking is to improve blood flow inside the penis. It will also set you up nicely when you are ready to move forward from the newbie routine. You’ll have the strength and knowledge about your member that you need to proceed with other exercises. It seems that different things work for different people, don’t be afraid to try new things after that 3 month mark. But don’t go into it blindly. Start off slow

While I’m no expert, I’ve read many places that its not necessarily about the number of reps, but about the time and what is being done with it.

As long as you aren’t squeezing too hard, going slowly is arguably better than going fast. You are much less likely to have accidents, much more in control of what is happening, and putting a lot less stress on the valves of your penis’s blood system.

Many of the more advanced routines that feature heavy jelqing usually tell you to focus on the time and not the count, because by the time you get to 600 who is counting to 100 6 times? I can barely do it once with my 2 year old without losing my mind.

Set a timer (like on your phone) for the amount of time taken to do the # of Jelq’s specified, and try to make each Jelq the length specified in your routine, usually 2-4 seconds When the timer goes off, move to whatever is next, even if it is your warm down. I usually don’t count the Jelq’s and just use a timer. If it says do 10 minutes of Jelqing 3-4 seconds each. Even if I don’t do exactly 100 jelq’s, and this time did 105 or 95 because you weren’t perfect with the “3 seconds per jelq”.. The end result will be largely the same, because gains are largely a product of time under strain. Getting those 5 more or oops doing 5 less and caring about the precision seems to me to be losing the bigger picture of what is actually going on.

Just be sure to see how long it takes you to do the quantity specified at least once. If it is way off, you may want to look at your technique, as you may be taking longer than expected to switch hands or have some other deficiency that is worth looking at. You can always use this new time as your future goal for this activity.

I’m still in my first month but have moved off of counting and on to time. My count was inaccurate I’m sure and the timer isn’t.

I’ve been able to focus way more on quality when not trying to count.

My 2 cents. Good luck.
