Day One, Again

So, I created my own routine that is loosely based on the Newbie Routine with a few changed based on my individual goals. As for the reasons for my ‘starting over,’ it seemed like perhaps I was overworking myself a bit. I can’t be sure that I was, but after having a discomfort issue a few weeks ago, it just made sense that I take a small break and have a whole new plan going forward - a lighter plan.

I think I have a mild case of, what they call “OCD.” When I have a program that uses a schedule, it has to be done a certain way. It has to be symmetrical. This is the same for other things that are shape or number oriented. I noticed this impulse about 6 or 7 years ago, but that’s neither here nor there. In any event, I decided to use a 90 day schedule, much like the set up for P90X (one of my favorite workout programs). It’s basically set up as follows:

Weeks 1-3, 5-7, 9-12
PE Weeks

Weeks 4, 8, 13
‘Recovery’ Week (Light PE with more rest)

Each phase gradually increases the stress. I have a couple other schedules set up for afterwards, with even more increases in stress.

I’ll check back in to this thread at the end of each ‘phase.’ Day 28, 56 & 90. If things go well and I have favorable results, I’ll post my schedule so that others might benefit from it. But, for now, it’s more of a trial run with me as the guinea pig.
Okay. Well, here I go.

I read the P90X bit and stopped reading, depending on what results you want it’s going to take a lot more than just 90 days not even taking into account cementing. Workouts like the p90x make fitness more of a project to work on rather than a lifestyle choice which is completely transferable to PE, PE is going to take well over 13 weeks to gain sustainable and reasonable growth I would seriously re consider your schedule to work for you in the long term rather than the short term. Furthermore as long as your don’t rest too much in your rest week I guess that’s ok to keep there but ideally you shouldn’t let your unit heal itself completely because if it does before you cement your goods its going to be a harder job for you to get those gains again as your penis would of hardened over time making it hard to ‘break and mould’ the whole idea behind growth in PE.

If you would have kept reading, you would have seen that I mention having more schedules set up beyond the first 3 months. I also mention how intensity gradually increases as I go, as does the number of active days. You stopped reading a bit too soon, missing some important information. As far as P90X being a ‘project,’ I’d disagree. If you’re serious about getting fit, it’s a lifestyle (or a long term project that goes on indefinitely). It’s just setup the way it is so that people have a schedule to follow everyday, a plan to stick to. PE is no different in that regard. I’ll be posting results and the schedule down the road and then you and others can see for yourself. There is no one size fits all for this. Sure there may be some general guidelines that seem to work for the majority of people, and I’ve included those in my schedule and workouts.

As I mentioned, I have an OCD tendency when it comes to symmetry in schedules, shapes & numbers. It’s a minor one, but enough that if something isn’t done in a symmetrical way, I find it frustrating and hard to stick to. Hence, the schedule I made. I guess you (and others) will just have to stay tuned to find out what happens…

So I pick up after my second workout of week two, I must say there are some very positive signs. During this recent session, which I feel was the best one to date, I noticed that my erection was staying more consistent, hovering around I’d say 70%, give or take of course. It’s hard to tell exactly. At the end of the session, as I always do, I finish with with full erection through light masturbation. This is to engorge the penis full of blood and I maintain it for about 30 seconds to a minute, throwing in some kegels and reverse kegels, really making sure the all the blood that’s going to fit is in there lol.

This is where I noticed that I was having the hardest erection I can remember having… ever! The ironic, but encouraging thing was that I wasn’t even that turned on sexually - no where near what I have been before and yet still, this was the best erection I’ve ever had. I’m taking this as a positive indicator for sure and I doubt anyone would disagree. The ‘less is more’ concept seems to be spot on. Hopefully this bodes well for some good results in growth moving forward, over the next 3 months. Until next time…

Quite a few of our PE success stories have a touch of OCD. It is a matter of harnessing it and not over training.

So another week has passed. I’m one day behind schedule because I had jury selection yesterday and had to get up early, then was just too tired at night when I usually do my exercises. No big deal though. Things are still going well and I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure I gained a little length. I just kinda got an erection out of the blue yesterday (while I was at home, don’t worry) and I can’t be 100% sure, but it looked a bit longer. I didn’t really notice a girth gain, but length, I’d almost certain there was some. I have a pretty good eye for minute differences. Example, a couple weeks ago, I was looking at my arms (bicep area) and I thought they looked bigger. A week and a half later, measurement day came and sure enough, 1/4 inch gain in both arms in 30 days. I noticed about day 20 too. This is why I’m pretty sure there was a change in length. Obviously, it’s probably not much of one, just enough to tell.

Does anyone have good girth exercise(manual) they can recommend? Since I did some PE for about 2 months prior to taking a 2 week rest and restarting with this program, I figure that perhaps I can add a girth exercise. So, I’m wondering which one people have had the most success with…

“Day one, Again”.

Don’t feel bad. As you gain experience through trial & error and discover what works best for you, like many of us, you will rack up quite a few “Day One”s, lol.

“day one, again” was a few weeks ago. This is the end of week 3. As I said, I felt like I was over training and needed a fresh start… I think I really figure the jelq out over the recent week and a half. I feel it more during and after my workouts - the slight ‘pump’ I mean. I’m fairly pleased with where I am now, I just felt like if PE can be successful, why not give it a shot and see what happens. EQ picked up really quick, as my erections are probably a 9/10, if not a 10! I’m fairly patient with things (due to my experience with weight loss over the years), so I don’t see that becoming an issue at all. I’m gonna give it a good 6 months and see what happens. And as I mentioned in the post before this one, I think I may have gained a little bit of length these past 3 weeks. I kinda wonder, since I already had about 2 months under my belt, and it seems that around month 3 and 4 is when people really see the results start showing up, if that’s what is happening for me as well. Patience & persistence with PE, like with anything, is key I believe. I’ve got those things for sure. (Monthly) Measurements are coming up in about another week… if there is gain, great. If not, still another 5 months to see results.

Okay, so my measurements haven’t changed too much. I think the length gained is probably of the EQ variety. Now, I did a routine for about 7 weeks in February and March, then took a few weeks off and restarted with the ‘less is more’ mentality. So in 4 weeks, I’m consistently measuring at 7, up 3/16 from my previous mark. Like I said, it’s minimal enough that EQ is probably the main factor there. That’s all that’s changed really. Although, I have to say that over the past few times I’ve done exercises or gotten an erection naturally, it seems more dense, fuller and bit longer than before so perhaps that’s a sign of things to come. I have a pretty good eye for that stuff, as I stated in previous post I noticed only 1/4 inch gain in my arms. I didn’t know it was 1/4 inch, I just knew my arms were larger and there’s a similarity with the ‘little major.’

On a side note, I hung out with a new girl the other day. We’ve been chatting for awhile online, I mean, we already knew who other was from some years ago. My nephews used to be good friends when her brothers, so we’d seen each other in passing but at that time, she was too young so I didn’t give it much thought at all. Now, she’s all grown up, 22 years old and she’s a very down to earth girl. I know that statement gets tossed around, but literally, she’ll talk about anything and is very open about her life and her thoughts, at least with me. Anyways, my point being, we didn’t do much, just hung out and watched tv. The situation wasn’t really conducive to much else, as it was kind of a spur of the moment hang out. We’ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, I want to sleep with her for sure, but unlike girls in the past, I don’t feel the need to push the action as things are very natural and flowing with her, so I’ll just let things work themselves out more that way… I mean, I’m still gonna make a move but I’m just not going to ‘force’ it, if that makes sense. As always, stay classy…

I’m noticing that there is a more frequent, longer hang throughout the day. This has become more evident to me over the past week. I’ve read that this a a good sign. As I said previously, I think that I’ve figured out the jelq technique as well as how to stretch more effectively. Till next time…

I figured I should update my schedule a bit. So after 5 weeks on my original plan, I decided to go to a 2 on, 1 off & do 10 - 45 second stretches, then 60 jelqs. The idea here is that it’s a ‘less is more’ type of routine w/ a focus on stretching. My reasons for this are that every few times I’d jelq, I’d have inconsistent erections, meaning it would start out where I wanted it, about 65% but then fade by the end of the routine. I was doing 4 sets 25 (then tried two days of 4 sets of 35 and that’s when i knew i had to back down), the first set was usually very good, the second still solid, but by the end of the third, the final 8 to 10 jelqs of the set, I was too flaccid. This didn’t happen every time but enough that I felt something should be changed. So, I increased the stretches and decreased the number of jelqs so that sustaining the erection level necessary would be much easier to do. I also noticed inconsistent EQ over the recent week or so, after having some very good EQ in weeks prior. My prior focus was more on jelqing and not much was happening, and I had been reading a lot of comments about how going of length first is usually the best route… so in tune with that and listening to what my body was saying (not in words of course haha), I shifted gears this week.

Today was day one of week 6, but day one of the newly focused routine. It went very well. The stretching was impeccable and I could tell it was something I’d been missing… the jelqing after went great as well. Kept the erection level consistent the entire time and definitely felt a slight, very slight fatigue-ish sensation when finished. So, there’s my update and here’s to the new routine paying dividends in the coming weeks and months…

Keep working at it. You’re doing a good job!

Thanks. I’m kinda keeping this thread going in the event that I get some good results and other people wanna see something to motivate them, let them see that it works if you stick with it and keep tweaking, finding what you need. In the beginning, I thought I knew what I was doing, but with some experience, I’ve really figured out better ways to both stretch and jelq. The effects, post workout, have gotten better and go along more with what others (gainers) have described. This has happened with each little alteration. It seems that it’s about calibration and nuance. Just little changes in technique here and there can make the difference…

I agree with your observations. :thumbs:

Alright, so in short, I got a good erection today and decided that it was worthy of a measurement, just to see. It measured 7 1/8… not bad. I’m not marking this as a ‘gain’ just yet but it is the longest it’s ever measured and clearly longer than my starting number. Sometimes, it’s just the quality and as you all know, it varies depending on the circumstances. Sometimes you get a “damn, i’m looking good today” one and other times you get a “this just will not do” type. However, salt aside, I have been having better workouts recently and have noticed slight changes in size, just visually. I’m not going to mark this as a victory just yet though. I wanna be sure, so before I ‘pen it in’ I’m going to wait till I hit at least 7 1/4 consistently over the course of a 2 week time frame. As for girth, I hear it’s harder to gain it and that seems to be the case. Visually, it looks fuller and feels more dense, but it really hasn’t changed. If it has, it’s minimal but I’m not fretting about it.

On a side note, I start another round of “Insanity” in about a month’s time and if I get a similar ‘side effect’ as before, I should notice an increase in size. I believe it’s because the high intensity workouts improve your blood pressure dramatically in a short period of time which as we all know, definitely effects erection quality. Coupled with this PE routine, I am interested to see if there is a carry-over effect… I’ll be sure to keep you all posted on the progress both in the short term and throughout the ‘Insane-term.’
