Four months progress - Jelqing only - 0.75''

Let me get directly to the point. I only use my hands, a cotton shower glove and virgin coconut oil. I don’t use any devices, pills or other supplements. They may work, but I dislike the idea. No stretch because for some reason (I’m uncut) I get hard very fast which is very annoying when you need to stretch completely flaccid.

Started at 7” BPEL and 5.5” EG. I’m 35 and none of the women in my life so far have ever complained about my size. It’s just a personal goal. It gives me more confidence as a man. Some feel special by having a red Ferrarri, others want a big truck, yet others want a big penis. That’s all there is to it. My goal is 8” NBPEL and 6” EG, which is a reasonable goal for jelqing only. Started June 22, now it’s October 19 so I’ve been doing this for aprox. 4 months although I have done PE on and off since 2004. I have never put serious effort into it, however, although I’ve read a lot about it, especially on this forum.

My routine is simple and it gained me 0.75” length and 0.25” girth so far:

I’ve been playing with workout days and rest days to see what works best. While fully understanding the benefits of rest days (this is when you actually grow) somewhere in the back of my mind I still believed that a day off is a day lost. Sometimes I would do 4-5-6 days consecutive before taking a 1-2 day break. Not good. The penis develops fatigue and also, more dangerous, tolerance to effort so gains occur at a much slower pace. After experimenting I realized that the perfect routine (for me) is 2 ON - 2 OFF or for diversity’s sake variations of 2 ON - 1 OFF and 3 ON - 2 OFF. My EQ looks best when I use this schedule.

Workout:
5 min. Warmup using my cotton glove; Jelq routine - OK sign downward movement, c. 10 strokes/minute. Workout for 30 minute so c. 300 repeats total.
- Emphasis on growing length: erection under 50% as low as 20% where it’s hanging long and a bit plump and everything feels like a stretch-jelq. Helps with making your suspensory ligaments and septum more flexible and willing to sustain the growth of your corpora cavernosa (where you pump blood). I would alternate erection levels from 20-50%, but mostly at about 35%. These percentages are relative, from guy to guy, but plump and flexible is what best describes the state.
- Emphasis on growing thickness: erection over 50% but never to the point where I am hard. If that happens (and it does) I let it subside for a few seconds. I use a strong kegel before each stroke to pump more blood.

Tips:
- Grip should be as deep as possible into your pelvic bone. Start bone pressed if you can to work blood on as much length as possible of your corpora cavernosa.
- Keep it lubricated, I add coconut oil every five minutes. It doesn’t drip on the floor but should be close enough. The moment you feel friction instead of smooth glide it means you are pulling skin and working your corpora cavernosa less than you need to.
- Focus on what you do. Don’t watch TV, listen to music, talk shows or read newspapers while you workout.

Measuring:
- I only use BPEL to measure length progress. Girth is easy but Length is very tricky to measure because it all depends on how strong your erection is. Measure immediately after workout. Erection levels are pretty similar. I’ve seen 0.25” error margin by measuring morning, before workout, after workout and evening. You need to be consistent. The early months are the most difficult, mentally speaking, because this is when you are looking for confirmation that PE actually works and it’s not a fantasy. Stay cool and measure only 2-3 times a month. I also measure flaccid stretched length (BPFL), but just the shaft (without the head). I then compare it with my BPEL without the head, because I’m not interested how much I can stretch my head but how flexible the septum (the “iron wire”) and the suspensory ligs become. At the moment I’m 0.5” longer BP stretched flaccid than BP erect, which is a good sign. I’d like to see this difference increase over time.

What I’ve learned so far:
The key to success is Motivation & Consistency. Be confident, motivated and stick to your schedule. Although you shouldn’t measure every day, you should constantly pay attention to how your penis reacts to your routine. Take notes if necessary. Make PE part of your life but don’t obsess about it. Be mentally ready to do this for at least 12 months if you want real gains that make a difference.

My plan is to continue this routine until Dec 31, 2017 or earlier if I reach my goal sooner than I think. I plan to continue to workout, not for growth, but for fitness, same thing but only once a week. My erections are stronger, my stamina greater, my libido as well. PE is good in so many ways for you health as a sexually active man.

Other useful info:
Age:35
Married: Yes
Sleep: 8h/night
Smoke: No
Drink: occasional (nothing stronger than wine)
Height/Weight: 6.1/200, athletic
Exercise: run c. 8 miles/week; long walks c. 8 miles/week
Diet: no junk; plenty of fruits/veggies; Protein bars on some workout days; 1/2 gallon of water daily.

One year tops you will hit your goal, that too with just manuals. starting size is most awesome already!

Thanks for the encouragement! As you say, I’m lucky to start with a size already above average and I’m especially happy that I don’t need to grow my girth a lot. Even the best jelquers out there hardly grow more than 0.5-0.75”, while growing 2” in length is perfectly doable. If I can gain 1.5 more inches length in the next year or so I’ll be happy and I will have reached my goal. Most importantly, now I know it’s just a question of time, patience and determination. Like I said, first couple of months are always the hardest. That’s when you doubt the whole process and you’re most afraid of disappointment. Most of us grew up with the idea that you’re stuck with the penis that genetics gave you so it’s hard to even entertain the thought that you can make it bigger, and by only using your hands. But, yes, it works and it feels great. Not sure it does anything in bed to change things dramatically, but my confidence as a man is way up and a year from now packing an 8 incher I can shake hands with another guy and know that statistically there’s 99% chances I’m bigger. Again, it’s a mental thing. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself. We are all here because we agree a large penis matters (to us).

If anyone has any specific questions about my routine I’m happy to assist.

I gained pretty fast in the beginning but stalled somewhat. I have learned that size is a range and not static. I’ve measured up to 8.125” before but usually around 7.75”.

My best measurements are 8.125”x6.25”. My averages are in my signature.

There’s a lot left for me to learn and lots of gains still on the table. My goal is 8”nbpel x 6.5”.

This will be a total gain of ~1.5”x0.5”.

Yes, you’re right about measurements, that’s why I said it’s easy to have doubts and be confused in the first 2-3 months. First of all your penis is not at its full original potential before starting PE. In the first few weeks you’re unlocking that potential, although you may not grow at all. And then you might grow 1/4 inch in a month if you are a fast grower, although I doubt that someone can grow 3” in a year from manual workout. With measurements being so varied, based on erection strength, time of day, measuring angle, etc. You won’t believe that PE actually works until you can actually see growth that cannot be doubted or questioned or ascribed to measurement variation. You need at least +0.5” to build up that confidence. Maybe it’s all in my head, but the second I became 100% this works I started growing at a higher pace. I don’t think PE works that well if you don’t truly believe in it. And now it’s fairly easy to build confidence even before you start, with so many testimonials on this forum from real people who have no reason to lie or deceive. When I first looked into PE in 2004 it was a lot more complicated to find reliable confirmation that PE is not just wishful thinking. You had to develop that confidence and commitment on your own.

Awesome gains man!

Your starting size is literally my goal size.

I have no doubt that you will achieve that if you stick with the routine that works best for you.

To add on my initial post: I’ve been struggling to understand the healing process after workout. In other words, how much time is enough between workouts. I finally extrapolated this information from mild injuries that I experienced. Nothing serious, just red spots on the head from pumping blood with too much energy. I noticed that they would go away completely after 72h. Already after 24h they appeared to be gone with the naked eye but if I attempted another workout after only 24h they would reappear or even multiply. However, if I waited 72h they would be gone permanently. I simply assumed that whatever damage is done to the corpora cavernosa inside your penis, it would require at least the same amount of time to heal. So basically a 2 day break is what I need (that’s 72h between workouts, let’s say you work Monday, then Tuesday & Wednesday off, and then work Thursday again). Different guys, different numbers, of course, but perhaps not dramatically different within the same age group, health condition & life style. How do you speed up the healing process is of course another interesting question (bodybuilders ask it all the time). Going back to the injury I described, if I used ice cubes immediately after workout the red spots would permanently disappear after 24h, so perhaps as much as three times faster than normal. Can this apply to damage done inside your penis? Hard to say, since the ice does not get in direct contact with the tissue you are trying to heal. I tried ice cubes for a month and I couldn’t say that it sped up growth. I’m growing anyway so I’m not super-motivated to reach my goal faster. Plus PE bring a nice touch of discipline to my life. I find myself eating healthier and trying to have a life-style and diet that encourages growth. I used to drink 2-3 cups of water/day, now I drink 1/2 gallon. Many people said it helps a great deal; it’s good for PE but also for your health.

Progress report, October 30.

October has been the most exciting month so far. Gained 0.25” length and flaccid stretched is 0.5” longer. Since flaccid measurement is more than the actual gains it means that I’m able to stretch a lot better. Right now I’m stretching flaccid +0.75” above my erect length. This is great because it tells me the stubborn ligaments and septum are gaining more flexibility. Initially I started with equal length erect and flaccid stretched. An old post years ago by Tiger who bitterly complained about jelqing not working because of inflexible septum is simply not valid, if we agree that male anatomy cannot function radically different.
Jelqing only- Length gains NOT POSSIBLE

Some changes I made recently explain my good October gains:

1. Changed erection level for jelqing from 50-70% to 20-30%. Basically erection can be as low as having it hang being somewhat plump but the stroke feels more like a very good stretching exercise with some blood pumping especially in the upper part of the penis. I also dropped the kegel I used to do before each stroke. This type of jelq I’m using now favors length growth. My girth has not increased at all in October.
2. Changed rest day pattern. In September I trained for a total of 22 days. I reduced to 16 in October basically making it a 2 day on/ 2 off or 1 on/ 1 off. I think it’s working great.
3. Changed my jelq position and this actually happened in early September. I used to jelq standing but then felt that my grip was not ideal and my stroke was not deep enough. I decided to sit on the edge of the tub and it has the perfect height so I can grab from the very base close to the pubic bone and jelq downwards at 25-45 degree angle (as opposed to almost horizontal when jelqing standing).

I will continue this routine until Jan. 1, 2017 and then assess results and decide what’s next. I would like to measure a solid 8.25” BPEL by that time. I would like to hit 9” by May 1, 2017 and I will then work on increasing girth for the rest of the year by using higher erection jelq style. I know it works because as long as I did kegels+60/70% erection jelq July through Sept. My girth was increasing (but length at a much slower rate).

I’d like to dedicate my routine and gains so far to Equine Rooster, whose detailed progress reports bordering on obsessive-compulsive have been a great source of inspiration and confidence.
Movin On Up

Will be back with another report Nov. 30.

Ey man i do not speck English so well, but I tried to understand all what you said, and I thing your tips are the best I have listened on this forum.

From now I will focus in your tips and continue mu schedule from this, I have about 3 weeks on my routine and I’m gratefull to having read this forum.

Thanks man and congratulations.

Equine Rooster’s log has been an inspiration and guide for me as well.

I read his entire log a while back too. I like the 1 on 1 off approach or 50/50 workout rest approach. The way I see it is to maximize growth you should workout then let it grow before you workout again. It is working for me now and has in the past when I did pe. Consecutive workouts always led to the second workout being forced as if my dick is telling me it needs a day in between workouts. I see many people talking as if you will gain better with more days on but I call bullshit. Just because you make great or decent gains doing a 3 day per week workout dont mean you will do better doing 5 or 6 days on with 1 day off. Everybody is different and if I could do more and get better results I most definitely would take the more is more approach but that is not how my body works. I see it as getting easier gains than those guys who need to pe 5 days to see results. I actually enjoy doing the workouts but every other day is optimum for me.

Rest days are the key to maximizing gains. Tested that myself. Been gaining by doing it 5 days/week but been gaining significantly more by doing it 3 times only. In the end c. 3000 jelq strokes/month should be enough stress on a penis and make it grow, right? More than that is going to be overwhelming and detrimental. In my opinion, working out between 15-17 days a month is the optimal routine for someone who doesn’t take crazy pills, supplements or doesn’t know any magic tricks to help cells recover a lot faster.

Progress report, November 30.

Measured 8” BPEL for the first time. I need my perfect erection for that though. I’m hoping by the end of the year to measure 8” on regular erections. I have also reached 7” NPB for the first time, but again not every erection will give me that. My penis is slightly curved upwards; straightened it’s actually 8,25” but I’m sticking with my initial measuring style. I’m measuring by placing the ruler above the penis. If I place it on the side, parallel with the penis, I measure at least 0.25” longer. Could be the shape of the public bone, or again could be the curvature of the penis. I also measure 0.25”-0.5” longer lying on my back than standing up. Measuring length can be a relative thing indeed. Again, I’ll stick to my usual measuring style to keep results relevant.

I’m still measuring a flaccid stretched length of +0.5”-0.75” compared to my erect length. I’d like to see it become more stretchable, but perhaps I need to give it time. I’d like to see some numbers though; I’m curious if other people stretch better.

Still doing routine variations of 1 day on/ 1 day off; 2 on/ 1 off; 2 on/ 2 off. Works best for me so far. I have reached 100 workouts since I began PE in July. I’m not 100% sure how much I gained because I have developed my measuring techniques over time. I’d like to say about 1” but could be less. I’ve gained for sure and I keep gaining, that’s all that matters. I’m giving it until Jan 1, 2018 to reach 9” BPEL. I don’t think it will happen faster; jelq-only routines take time, patience and determination.

Will be back with the nest report by New Year’s eve.

This is exactly six months since I started. Although my measuring technique has improved and I cannot be 100% sure about the gains so far, a reasonable estimate is 1” length. Two months ago I switched from 50-70% erection level jelqs to 20-40% hoping that it would allow me to develop a kind of jelq-stretch technique. It hasn’t worked very well in terms of gains, as I have only gained 1/4” during this time. I did feel my ligs getting stretched though, so it wasn’t for nothing. I think for the next months my routine will be 10 minute low erection jelqs and then 20 min higher erection with one powerful kegel before each stroke. I feel compelled to return to my original idea that jelq-based growth is essentially about how much blood you can force down your shaft. The tricky part is staying plump enough to allow maximum blood flow and yet not stiff which is both dangerous and ineffective.

I feel like I’ve been concentrating on goals and measurements too much during these first six months. My goal in July was to be 8” NBP by Jan. 1 2017. I’m 1” short of that but not disappointed at all because I realize that wasn’t a realistic goal. I’m not obsessed with measuring either, but I think it’s on my mind too much. It’s stressful because you always expect progress and it’s hard to see something every two weeks. I’ve decided to stop measuring for three months. So no measuring of progress until April 1 (Fool’s day, hopefully lucky one).

Happy New Year! Will be back in April.

Great progress stealth. I think about it too much too. I may try to wait until the 20th to measure which will make my 6 month mark. I don’t think I can wait that long though. I’ve technically already done an unofficial measurement. I’m very patient about pe and measuring does nothing against my motivation to pe. But I always got the itch to whip out the ruler when I’m by myself with a great eq.
