Dicade's journey to something more

Week 32 completed.

First four days extremely well performed with some additional time spent on all critical activities. Since I was away the last three days of the week I took it easy on Friday and then completely off during the weekend.

Totals:
Stretching: 320 mins
Kegels: 600 reps on either 1 sec or 5 sec, plus 3x10mins
Jelqing and clamping: 160 mins
Pumping: 4 sessions between 30-40mins each, most of the time at 5-7hg and the rest at 10hg

The week turned out to feel like a girth week and a pretty tough one too. I’m in good control of the clamping, but still use the morning wood for jelqs. EQ has been ok, nothing bad nor outstanding.

No official metrics to report from last week, but can notice that 190mm is possible to reach in the pump after around 20-30 mins. Girth, while clamped is somewhere around 142-143mm and a slight improvement. So far so good!

Will have to get my sh*t together and order something for hanging since I’m struggling with the force. My ache in the elbows (golf elbows) seem to be gone though, due to PE. Nice side effect!

A lot of sites advocate that kind of reps for Kegels, but I’m not sure that’s valid. Kegels exercise several muscles I can’t pronounce. Building muscle strength is fairly well established. I went to three sets of ten 5-second Kegels.

Better? Worse? It’s hard to tell how effective Kegeling is, but it sure saves a lot of time.

I know it could be seen as pretty much, on the other hand it’s without adding weights, like you do for other muscles at the gym. The actual force is a lot a less compared to what the PE muscles (or any other) could handle, but in this case there is no way to maximize force by adding weights. When working on your biceps, for instance, you normally add weights to just be able to do 3x10 instead of just tension them. That also why I think it’s pretty easy to add reps for the kegels. But of course, I could be wrong.

I feel that I’m stronger now compared to when I started, but still haven’t figured out how to make use of it.

Week 33 completed.

A really great week with plenty of PE! I have been trying to split the stretching into two sessions, one in the morning for 30 mins where I also add pumping and clamping, and then the second part of stretching in the evening. This works as long as I’m WFH alone, which is not always the case, but this week it turned out well. EQ has been really good, morning wood wakes me up at around 4-5 in the morning but most of the times I manage to fall asleep again. My unit has been pretty swollen most days, leading to bad measures, but I managed to capture one BPFSL after a session showing 206mm. MEG, after pumping and clamping, hits 143-144mm. No new official measures for a long time now.

Totals:
Manual stretching: 360 mins
Kegels: 1200 plus 6x10 mins
Jelqing & Clamping: 130 mins, split equally
Pumping: 117 mins, mostly on 5hg but some sessions at 10hg

Mentioned in a previous post that it starts to become tedious with manual stretching so I have now ordered a vacuum hanger that I hope arrives next week. Will be a learning curve for sure, but I have read plenty of it in various threads here at TP. Will also have to adjust my logging to capture all types of exercises to keep track of everything. Still no comments from Mrs. dicade, but at least she wanted to play in the middle of the night after being out with friends and then two times in the morning. With kids around constantly I’m happy for those rare occasions!

Week 34 completed.

Started the week well with a few combined sessions that included manual stretching, pumping and clamping but as the days went by I slowly lost focus. This was mainly due to other obligations I had to take care of, but in the end I still managed to spend a decent amount of time (close to the plan). EQ has been great and rounded of the week with some intercourse with Mrs on her initiative. The highlight of the week was when my Total Man Vac hanger arrived, but when I opened the package I got a bit disturbed. Even though I didn’t buy more than what is needed for vac hanging I still found tons of stuff in it with no clue how to assemble or use. Spent a few hours watching videos to figure stuff out and had my first 20 mins of proper hanging (at 2,5 kg). All went well I I’m really looking forward to my first full hanging session!

Totals for the week:
Manual stretching: 390 mins
Kegels: 800 plus 4x10 mins
Jelqing & Clamping: 100 mins
Pumping: 119 mins, mostly on 5hg but some sessions at 10hg

I will adjust my routine to the following from next week (open for others ideas of course):
- 3x20 mins vac hanging at 2,5 kg six times per week
- kegels 3-4 times per week, 100x5s, 100x1s, 10 mins straight (no changes, only less sessions)
- jelqing 100-200 per day, six times per week
- pumping for 30 mins at 5hg, 3x5 mins at 10 hg, two times per week

Compared to now this means less work on girth and more on length, since I’ve been struggling with length the past couple of months. I will stick to this plan for 4-5 weeks, increasing either weight or time every week, depending on how much stretch i get. Aiming for around 2%. This week will suck in terms of PE though. Still have plenty of stuff to take care of around the house and friends coming over for two days in the middle of the week so hanging for six hours won’t be possible.

Maybe good to mention that I’m now working hard on the rest of the body as well. Currently on a running program to run 10km by mid august and it requires running for three times per week and this week is number three. I have also managed to get to the gym three times per week the last three weeks and on top of that plenty of power walks (at least 100k steps per week). Weight is moving down slowly but I can see some redistribution of my body.
