1 Month Mark, What Next?

Hey I’ve been doing PE consistently on a 2 on/1 off for about 5-6 weeks now. I definitely notice a difference, albeit small. I believe I started at 5.3?? And now erect I’m like 5.7 in so thanks lol. Not much difference with girth at least I think.

My question is on my routine.

Beginning I started with just
5min warm up
100 jelqs
5min warm down

Then added some stretches, etc

Now I do
5min warm up
25 s2s stretches
4 direction stretches 30 sec
Behind the ass stretch for 30 sec
225 jelqs (try to add 25 every couple of weeks)
I do 50 kegels during jelq, 50 reverse kegels afterwards
5min warm down

This takes me about 40 min, fortunately I’m off of work rn for holidays but not for long.
My question is where should I go from here?
I’m getting size, but I can’t be doing this for an hour, I really don’t have the time. Should I just keep this routine, and try to get better at doing it more efficiently (faster).

I was personally thinking just keeping this routine then on month 3, getting a bath mate.

Any advice I appreciate, thanks fellas.

Welcome to thunders! Lots of good folks and a massive wealth of experience is shared here. You’ll get lots of good info and tested true advice.

You’re doing pretty good as it is. I can’t suggest doing it any faster. Stretches need to be held (and relaxed into), jelqs need to be slow (or you might cause damage). Fact is, more time you can spend, healthily, is less time your dick is returning to normal. If you need less time, that’s just something you’re gonna have to deal with. Don’t go any faster. Reduce reps and or sets to meet your time needs.

Bathmates get rave reviews, especially on sites pedaling product. I highly suggest, an appropriately sized basic tube and a guage if you’re going to pump. I won’t be the last to tell you, or you the first to realize later; that a bathmate isn’t worth the money. A third the cost gets you something reliable, repeatable, and foremost readable. Bathmates have none of that.

There are scores of threads on modifying a bathmate, why? They aren’t that great. Do a quick search. In the end, after modification and all cost in, you could have had 3 awesome tubes sized successive to grow into. Please, do a bit more research before you open your wallet.

personally i have a bathmate clone from aliexpress about 1/3 the price and seems to work very well in my opinion, i prefear air pumping as i have a guage to track how much pressure i am using

What pressure should I start on, is their some way to find out?

Thanks man, I’ll take your advice. I think I’m gonna just stay where I’m at. I got enough time to do after work. Is their any sites you’d suggest for pumps, I don’t trust ebay, etc, always hearing they’re knockoffs.

You’re in the US? Search here for harbor freight brake bleeder pumps. That’s the best bang for the dollar. All brass and has a guage. You’d pay about $70 shipped for a plastic pump at any PE targeted retailer.

Far as tubes, geez, the sky is the limit. You can even use an old Mason jar. Called STJ or sun tea jar. The ebay tubes aren’t bad. In concept they are the same. Acrylic, with a release valve. Stay away from the tinted or smoked tubes. Ideally, you want clear so you can see your shit, mainly, the color of it.

A $20 eBay tube, toss the pump it comes with, use the HF guaged brake pump $50, $70 or so all in, you’re set to start. The guage is the important part. Even if it’s cheap and inaccurate, it should still be repeatable. i.e. reading 5hg as 8hg or some such, as long as it reads the same every time, you’re fine to start out.

You could also look at package deals from LA pump, or pumptoys. Those are priced for the advanced, appropriately though, I suppose. But you can fine tune your tube size and length when ordering.

Best advantages to the eBay tube and HF brake pump is:

-You don’t know if pumping is gonna work for you. It’s the cheapest and safest (guaged) way into the mix.

-You don’t know if you’re gonna like pumping. You might hate it and wanna toss it in the trash. The cheaper method is easier to part with. A used bathmate wouldn’t go so fast on Craigslist, I don’t think.

-This is true with any pump, but you can continue to use the HF pump after you’ve outgrown your first tube or made a different size selection.

I’m trying to be all inclusive for ya. It can be simple or complicated. I’m flirting with complicated, I think. If you have more questions, ask away and we can tackle them as they come.

Canadian Tire carries much the same inventory as Harbor Freight, and there’s a similar tool-and-stuff chain in Britain, though I don’t remember their name at the moment.

The Harbor Freight pump has one annoyance: the pressure release is a button under the gauge, too far to reach while you’re holding the handle. My old (1990s) MityVac pump had a trigger, which made it much easier to adjust vacuum. But for as cheap as the Harbor Freight pumps are, it’s something I can live wive. (the handle of my old Mityvac broke, just like the newer ones do)

This is about as basic as you can get. $15 sex store tube and a $30 mityvac. Both off eBay. Sometimes you can find just the pump without all the brake specific bits. This is generally what you’re trying to replicate.

Thanks, Andy. I didn’t know about Canadian Tire. Useful info!

How are you getting along, Mac0? Haven’t seen you in a bit. Hope all is well.

Thanks for checking in on me, I’m good. Unfortunately I didnt take your advice and went ahead and bought a BM hydro7. I’ve been pumping for about a month now and my member is starting to get used to it. I definitely notice something. But the BM as you said has no gauge, I realize why this is so important now. Although I feel I’m making progress I recently bought a cylinder from LApump as well as a pump. It should be here soon, I’m gonna give air pumping a go. Reviews are mixed so I’m just gonna keep testing stuff out as I go. Thanks brother.

Also I’m gonna start hanging too to get some length in there too, any advice would be great.

You’ll do well with the LA pump. Too bad you spent on the Bathmate though. Good to hear you’re getting along!

I don’t know anything about hanging, further than what I’ve read. You’re just as well armed on that subject as me. I’m sure someone that knows will chime in on that soon.

Just train safe and consistent. That’s the key!

100% my guy!

How’s the LA pump working for you, so far?

Been a minute! How’s things going?
