Forgot to include my starting stats information:
My starting stats at time of writing:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Length:
///////////
BPEL: 7.5 (19cm)
It’s no accident that I’m more or less bang on 7.5”, it took a massive amount of effort to get to that length with diminishing gains having slowed to almost nothing. The moment I felt I’d safely cemented 7.5” BPEL I stopped. I was motivated to get to that length because I consider it a “layman’s eight” inches due to how most guys measure (if I measure in that same way I’m eight inches).
However, at that point growth was happening at such a slow pace and I’d been practising P.E. for such a long time, that it was just getting too much to bare. By that time I thought I was way past the point of diminishing returns and just didn’t see sense in continuing.
What probably started out as a decon break probably turned into the 8 year sabbatical (during which time I threw out most of my P.E. gear) because I was basically bored to tears of hanging sets day in day out with minimal to virtually no returns.
I have to say my routine was neither subtle nor nuanced and just involved hanging as much as I could for as long as I could. Basically something like a punctuated ADS routine at the highest weight I could manage to hang. Not something I’d ever do again or ever recommend, especially since it ultimately gave me quite considerable back problems that I had to address with stretching routines and yoga.
Also, by the time I’d finished, my EQ was as low as I’ve ever experienced, to the point that it almost felt like erectile dysfunction and partial impotence. That’s not to say that there’s no place for hanging in PE, just that I believe it should be approached intelligently and not just brute forced.
Having said that, In the time I spent away I didn’t loose any of my cemented length. I suspect my girth is the same also, although I don’t remember what my girth measured when I stopped, I believe it was the same as it is now.
Girth:
////////
5.75” (14.7cm) Base
5.00” (12.5cm) Mid-shaft
5.25” (13.3cm) End of shaft (below glans)
=========================================
Also, I’m taking up HIIT (high intensity interval training) for HGH (Human Growth Hormone) production and increase metabolic rate on Micro-I / Micro-P days.
Although today I’m in the Micro-R phase of my first IPR Micro-Cycle I did do some HIIT today.
Having just completed that, and having had a hot bath to soak my muscles, tendons and ligaments, I’ve just measured and I’m getting a pinch-pulled measurement of +2 eighths of an inch. That’s an increase of +1 eighth of an inch since I measured yesterday. I think it’s safe to say that those increases are in no way cemented, but it bodes well as an indication that growth is possible and even potentially already underway.
I’m going to be incorporating the HIIT session into my routine after the Micro-I phase of each IPR Micro-cycle. So, at present the routine is going to be:
Starting in the morning of day 1 of the Micro-IPR cycle:
Micro-I phase (consisting of jelqs and pulls in line with the increase that’s recommended by “IPR Protocol for PE” theory).
Immediately following Micro-I phase: High intensity interval training (HIIT) to accelerate metabolic rate and promote production of HGH.
Following HIIT (having bathed and eaten) switching to ADS at zero intensity for the Micro-I phase (i.e. for the rest of the day).
This means no stress from the ADS, just ADS to keep it extended, to keep the tears/ruptures open in an elongated state but without the kind of force that would cause more tearing/rupturing (inflammation), as we want to avoid further inflammation to let the Micro-P stage commence. The ADS is to to keep the tears/ruptures open in an elongated state so the fibroblasts and Type III Collagen fill elongated tears/ruptures in the Tunica etc. rather than layering on top of each other or in compacted clusters, or bunches, which wouldn’t promote as much length and could potentially also hinder further growth by conditioning the tissues to resist the continued exercise.
Those three stages, including the Micro-I Phase and the Micro-P Phase (I’m including the HIIT session as a stage in this routine for a total of three stages) all take place over the course of a single day (day 1 of the 3-day IPR Micro-Cycle).
The Micro-R phase of the three day IPR Micro-Cycle begins at the end of Day 1 when we remove the ADS to sleep.
Days 2 and 3 are the Micro-R stage. On these days I do nothing but rest, so that the deposited Type III Collagen etc. can establish itself well enough that further exercise adds to it rather than disrupting it (or at least that’s the theory).
Days 2 and 3 are also the rest phase for the body following the HIIT session.
=========================================
Jelqing Method
///////////////////////
The Jelq stroke I’m using is one I’ve formulated specifically for my own member. It won’t be relevant for a lot of people and isn’t recommended for newbies (I’m back after an 8 year break and I’ve blown out a vein twice in the two days I’ve used it).
My unit is 5.75” (14.7cm) at the base, 5.00” (12.5cm) Mid-shaft, and 5.25” (13.3cm) at the distal end below the glans. In other words it’s basically a kind of horizontally asymmetrical hourglass shape, and I’m using the stroke I’m using not just for length, but to both even out the girth and to increase the size of my glans in line with my girth increase.
It’s a two-handed, over hand jelq where each hand “hands off” to the other, so most of the time, both hands are on my unit, each in turn being taken off at the end of the stroke to be re-introduced at the base.
It starts off at the base of the penis as a typical overhand jelq but with very high force in the grip so that the grip tightens over the slimmer mid-shaft as it progresses. When that hand reaches the point at which the shaft begins to widen I don’t relax the grip, I just let it jam against the widening shaft at the distal end, so that the hand doesn’t actually reach the end of the shaft. The stroke causes an intense engorging and stippling of the glans as the glans is inflated (the glans is fed with blood vie the Corpus Spongiosum and doesn’t have as large a volume as the Corpora Cavernosa, so in respect to the engorgement of the glans, the hands not reaching the glans is not a problem), but I’m hoping isn’t working the distal end of the shaft (the Corpora Cavernosa) in such an intense way that it’ll gain too much more girth, as I want to concentrate on increasing mid-shaft girth to even out the shape before I move on to girth work proper.
As the first hand reaches the end of its stroke, jammed into the shaft at the point that the shaft is widening, it’s kept in place as the second hand is introduced at the base in just the same way as the first causing a squeeze that “balloons” the mid-shaft. It’s once the ballooning reaches it’s full intensity due to the second hand progressing down the shaft that the first hand (that’s gripping the distal end of the shaft at the point that it widens) is released and re-introduced at the base, while the second hand progresses along the shaft in the same manner as the first, to again jam into the shaft at the point that the shaft widens, waiting for the ballooning at mid-shaft (caused by the first hand progressing along the shaft a second time) to reach full intensity before again releasing to be reintroduced at the base.
Both hands continue on in this manner for the duration of the set. Each stroke is approximately 3 seconds per hand.
Lubrication for the Jelq
////////////////////////////////////
Due to not having any Vaseline I’ve been using Black & White hair pomade as a lubricant (I do now have Vaseline and will be switching to that instead.)
I’m using an oil-based lubricant because gel-based lubricants dry up and need constant re-application.
I’m using an oil based jelly because it’s easier to manage due to the fact that it doesn’t spill, drip or run.
Also, and I’m not entirely sure about this, but I believe it also helps achieve a slower stroke because it provides a kind of resistance, although that’s something I need to test. It’s been many years since I jelqed with a liquid oil. Either way I want to try and avoid liquid oil due to it being hard to control due to spilling, dripping and/or running.
Ejeculation
/////////////////
In short, I’m avoiding it. For two reasons:
1. Ejaculation causes my member to turtle. Conversely, not ejaculating causes it to remain partially engorged, even when in a flaccid state. During the Micro-P and Micro-R phases this engorgement is probably conducive to growth.
2. My penis responds more readily and easily to erotic stimuli if I’ve not ejaculated, and so is easier to manipulate for the purposes of the P.E. routines.
=========================================
As it is, the start of my next Micro-IPR Cycle falls on a day I have a disruption to my P.E. schedule, so (given that my high intensity Jelqs have also blown out a vein), I’m going to extend this Cycle’s Micro-R phase by one day.
