Ever wish you hadn't found out about PE?

I can identify with this mindset. Even on the days that I feel like just skipping, it always seems like it would be far worse to lose a day of exercising. I just can’t stop lol!

I think PE is hard if you don’t find your growth region, you are a hard gainer or/and your PI’s aren’t good enough. Otherwise, PE is as comforting as one want, since one can balance the interest in growing and the effort, as well as maintenance routines are light and really bearable (pleasent and relaxing, actually).

Papa’s in the house! Goes really good with 200-300 jelqs! haha. Keep on strokin’ buddy! :)

Pe has so many exercises on the forum and videos that you can always change to make it less boring but the expectation of making it big with all hard work can pull us down sometimes maybe you should try hanging, pumping or extender that way you can do other things while PEing

No… the damage was alrady done by porn. By this I mean, porn had long since fucked my mind, and getting older made me more size conscience.

I do PE mainly now, just in case another thundersplace member is out there in my town…

For me it’s more trying to find the time and privacy

The question comes up from time to time about motivation to PE. I think it’s pretty much self-regulating. If you’re just going through the motions, maybe that’s not what you need to be doing right now.

Motivation is a significant factor in PE. It takes motivation (and faith) to do the work long enough and patiently enough to get results.

At some point, if you’ve gained enough, that’s demotivating to want to spend the time and effort for more.

At some point, if you’ve been doing the work and you’re not seeing results, that’s demotivating too.

The stories here from those who had gained helped me overcome enough skepticism about whether any of this was possible for me to give PE a good, fair chance through doing the Newbie Routine.

Great post, Lamp. Very true.

For example, I’m motivated to gain, but maybe not enough to really put the work in.

Want to break the 5 MSEG barrier. Wouldn’t mind being a 1/4 inch longer either.

Working out fairly consistently right now but love the gains I already made. So I don’t have a sense of urgency about it that I need to make sure I get in EVERY workout, and make every workout the best it can be.

At anyrate, reading a fitness book right now. Author quotes his mentor:

“Your habits must match your goals”.

Pretty much says it all, doesn’t it.

Well put, sta. Your habits must match your goals, or your habits will reflect your goals. If you exercise - or PE - in a less consistent, less committed fashion, you are announcing that those are your goals.

And - news flash - there isn't anything wrong with that! It’s your choice. When it’s important enough to you to do more, you’ll do more.

No. This is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

^^this!

Absolutely.

But there are many mornings where I wish I had never found out about alcohol too.

But I’ll keep indulging…in both ;)
