ADGJ's Journey From a 4 Incher

What do you mean trickery? Like, knowing what works for your dick and mastering that, versus doing every exercise 110%?

So I do the newbie routine and do the hot towel for 5 minutes twice. Should I add even more heat in between or even during exercises? I also have a little plug-in heater that gets the bathroom pretty damn hot.

Thanks for the kind words man, it really means a lot during a rough time in my life. I appreciate it.

It has been two months with no gains. I switched from a regular OK grip to an overhand OK grip for jelqs (1 day in with new form) and I really like how it feels. So I’m hoping that will help. But I’m also considering extending my newbie routine from 5 to 7.5 minutes manual stretch and from 10 to 15 minutes jelquing. I definitely feel my penis has gotten stronger since I’ve started and after two months in this may be a fine progression. But this is just an idea and I in no way want to injure myself, so I wanted to ask the community what they thought. Thoughts?

Ramping it up *may* work for you - however, it also may not. I’d like to suggest you also consider doing the opposite, i.e. a longer deconditioning break and then starting again with a really, *really* light routine. The reason I’m saying this is that different people seem to be gaining from different levels of intensity; there doesn’t seem to be a one-size-fits-all way to this. I for one definitely appear to benefit from a less is more kind of approach.

I’ve restarted the Newbie Routine twice, slowly ramping it up, but only gained a bit in the beginning (1st attempt) and then the gains stalled. Then I tried something that seemed counter-intuitive to me: I cut out all the jelqing and squeezing, the various stretches in multiple directions etc, even the warm-ups, and just started doing one or two one-minute fulcrum stretches several times throughout the day whenever I went to the bathroom. And that’s when I finally started gaining some length, consistently, about 1mm FSL per week. Been doing this for over 2 months now and it’s still working. Laziest routine ever.
