UCBCN's Log
Hi there.
I’m starting this log to have data to look back on and keep some consistency, and maybe even get some advice along the way.
Please don’t hesitate to give feedback or your thoughts at any point.
Pretty much got no consistent history of PE. I did jelqing on and off around 2017 I believe? And some manuals (inconsistently) as well a few years ago.
Been lurking and researching for a while and feel it’s time to get involved now. I am going to start this journey with “Hanging with FIRe”, as similar as I can to 5.5Squared’s routine. From the logs I have read it seems promising for those in my position, with little to no previous gains or conditioning.
My supposed golden weight + heat weight range: 1.4 - 2.7 kg
I plan to work up to this over time. Just want to take it nice and slow, be safe and hopefully min-max some gains.
Week 1
15m @ 0.34kg (cold)
40m @ 0.4kg (heat)
15m @ 0.48kg (cool-down)
The above is how my first week will look. A light entry into this process. I plan to use this week to get used to the technique and rhythm of the routine. I am excited about the potential results, however, in all honesty, I’m excited to add some structure back into my day and usually get quite addicted to these sorts of things. Anything I gain I will see as a bonus.
I will measure strain (and log all the info here) once a week in the early days (on Friday) and follow this simple structure:
If strain is >2%: Keep going until next strain evaluation
If strain is <2%:
A) Is Pre+post still increasing? Keep going
B) Pre+post stalling + <30 days in cycle? Add 200g
C) Pre+post stalling + >30 days in cycle? Decon
Also please presume that none of what I am talking about is my work. Most if not all of this has been taken from @5.5Squared and @Kyrpa
I plan to run my first cycle when my equipment arrives in the next week. Cycle one will hopefully run for about 4-6 weeks, depending on the total cycle strain. I will then take a decon of about 3-4 weeks. As long as I don’t see any concerning PI’s and see any benefit other than an increase in BPEL, I plan to do this particular PE method for at least 4-6 months. I hope to sit in the therapeutic heat and load range for at least 1-2 months +/ reach my 0.17MPa weight of 2.7kg before calling it quits if I don’t see any results.
Goals:
Reduce erection angle
Increase BPEL to 7.5in
Increase EQ (bonus)
My erection angle is pretty high. I’ve never not been able to do a position, however, sometimes I need to push my member down with a little bit more effort than what I’d like. Especially in doggy. I am hoping that my angle goes down over time with this hanging.
I want to give PE a solid year’s effort in total and if this routine doesn’t work I will dedicate the final 6-8 months to pumping probably.
Enough yapping from me! I will hopefully be back soon to start and log the beginning of this journey, starting with 5.5Squared’s successful routine.
Question. @32Quarters said:
“0.1 mpa is the starting point for adding heat and no heat should be applied below this.”
So I shouldn’t apply heat below 1.4kg of load? I don’t understand this. If anyone can clarify I would appreciate it.
Anything I’m missing? Or anything I’d benefit from that I’m not considering?
Please let me know! :)
(Will do a follow-up post on all starting measurements soon after I have created a trustworthy average for each)
