First Week - Tentatively Taking It Slow

So I have been lurking here for months. Last year I started with the Angion Method but felt it gave me discomfort at the base and stopped. Following this I had an unpleasant internal infection so now am jumping on the newbie routine.

My goals are a to add just a little extra but mainly to improve my currently lower EQ and also response time.

My first week has been a very slow step up as I do not want any injury.

- 5mins warm up
- 3mins stretch
- 2mins jelq
- Massage/warm down
1 on, 1 off

I’m going to now up this gradually over the coming weeks to:
- 5mins warm up
- 5mins stretch
- 5mins jelq
- massage warm down
2 on, 1 off

I’m also hoping to get firm enough to get an accurate measurement.

Right now I’m struggling to get much above a 7/10 solo but can get to 8/9 with my wife.

Also at month 5 of porn detox

Lots going on to make steps in the right direction!

The community here helps me know I’ll get there!

Welcome to Thunders Hame. Looks like you are indeed taking all the right steps.

Best wishes for achieving your goals, with persistence you should get there.

Good luck mate

Thanks LittleEngine, I have not delusions about fast progress but at least hope to see an EQ bump in good time and let any gains come as they do.

Cheers Impressed. Loving the community spirit in these forums. Done lots of reading and it’s 99% encouragement.

Into week two and up to 3mins for both stretch and Jelq.

So far a better hang and improved EQ the other night. Possibly psychological but that’s all good with me! Taking it slow and will stick with 1 on 1 off for a while.

Also had some night/morning wood coming back which suggest better function/circulation.

I think I’ll add a minute per week and see how it goes. Unable to get firm enough on my own for a good measurement so far. The EQ is the biggest driver for me right now.

Good show, starting off gradually, Sir!
I’m sure you may have already seen it, but just in case, here’s an attempt at a link to sparkyx’ thread on:

Physiologic Indicators (PIs) to help growth!

Please search for it if the attempted link doesn’t work (I apparently stink at posting via phone)

Anyhow, the information in that thread has been very helpful to me in the short time I’ve been here with regards to guidance on my routine. For example, I’ve gone from basically no night wood / morning wood to night wood waking me a couple of times per week and morning wood on average every other day, and have maintained positive PIs for most of the time.

As EQ was my primary reason for beginning this effort, this has been by far the biggest blessing for me.

Wishing you the very best of luck! Keep us posted

So the extra half inch is just a bonus then! :p

Yeah I have read some of that thread but it’s one of those I have noted to go over in full. So much information here which is great!

Yep, going for a slow and steady build up!

You’re on the right path.

Thanks Titleist, honoured to have one of the TP celebs chime in :)
