Swimbarracuda's Progress Log

Yeah tbh I pretty much have always done them either 100% erect or close to 100%. I’ve read about risks and what not and know that typically you do them at about 30-40% erection but I’ve just always preferred to do them erect. I’ve never had a problem before with it. And back when my routine was more heavily centered around girth, I believe it aided me with girth gains in the past.

Yes, many of the reported injuries we get are from jelqing as you are.

Yeah I don’t apply as much pressure as I would if were doing them at a lower erection. I appreciate the heads up and I may consider doing them at a lower erection level. Maybe I’ll also just change it back to “Jelq” so I don’t consequently encourage others to do them erect. I don’t want any inexperienced members to injure themselves xD

Main point is you are aware of the concern and are paying attention while you perform the exercise.

Understood. Thanks!

50 Tension Stretches
15 Minute Erect Jelq
3 Sets 10 Mins Pumping at 5-6 Hg with Cock Ring On
One Hand Erect Jelqs for 5 Mins between each Pumping Set
5 Minute Clamping Session

2.5 Hours in PF today.

Giving my glans extra time today to rest/heal which means less time in my PF. Still ok with it though.

2/25/22

Unintentional Rest Day.

I had a very busy day and didn’t really get a chance to do any PE.

2/26/22

I tried to do my usual routine in the morning but realized I didn’t have time.

Part 1
50 Tension Stretches in the morning.

One Hand Erect Jelqs for 5 Mins between each Pumping Set
5 Minute Clamping Session

After I got home from work, I noticed my glans had peeled just a little bit. The combination of Pumping/PF is causing my glans to dry up. I am pretty good about applying lotion/ointment but I guess it still isn’t enough. I’ve also been wearing a glans cap while using my PF more often lately.

I pumped a bit longer today just because I was really enjoying it.

Really good expansion today. Not really sure if I’ve made any gains but looking forward to Friday to find out (I measure every two weeks - on Fridays). No PF today — just didn’t feel like it. Depending on my results this Friday I may consider changing my routine but we’ll see.

I did each pump for about 5 minutes longer than normal. I’m amazed at the difference it makes with wearing a cock ring while pumping. I get almost no edema whatsoever when I have one on and I can go longer in the pump without getting edema. Today, I used a larger cock ring because the smaller one added just a little too much intensity for me during each set.

3/1/22

50 Tension Stretches
15 Minute Jelq

I tried to pump today but the base of my dick couldn’t handle the pressure. I will use this as a rest day and tomorrow I’ll pump again. I think the pump session from yesterday was just a little too much.

3/2/22

DOUBLE SESSION! :D

Morning:
50 Tension Stretches
15 Minute Jelq
3 Sets 15 Mins Pumping at 5-6 Hg with Cock Ring On
One Hand Erect Jelqs for 5 Mins between each Pumping Set
5 Minute Clamping Session

Evening:
50 Tension Stretches
15 Minute Jelq
3 Sets 15 Mins Pumping at 5-6 Hg with Cock Ring On
One Hand Erect Jelqs for 5 Mins between each Pumping Set
5 Minute Clamping Session

I felt like I had enough rest from the day before that I could do two sessions today.

​​​​​​​Tomorrow morning I will be doing just some tension stretches and light jelqing. I will be measuring 2 days from now and want to make sure the measurements are accurate, so no pumping tomorrow.

3/3/22

100 Tension Stretches
25 Min Jelq

I didn’t want to pump due today just to keep measurements accurate for the following day. So I just did extra Tension Stretches and jelqed a bit longer.

3/4/22

Measuring Day! always, I measured after a hot shower and measured each stat at least 5-6 times to ensure accuracy.

Here’s my new stats:

Stats from 2/18/22
BPFL: 4 7/8”
BFG: 5 1/4”
MFG: 5”
BPFSL: 7 5/8”
BPEL: 7 1/4”
BEG: 6 3/8”
MEG: 5 9/16”

New Stats 3/4/22
BPFL: 5 1/8” (+0.25”, 4 ruler marks)
BFG: 5 5/16” (+0.0625”, 1 ruler mark)
MFG: 5” (No Change)
BPFSL: 7 11/16” (+0.0625, 1 ruler mark)
BPEL: 7 7/16” (+0.1875”, 3 ruler marks)
BEG: 6 3/8” (No Change)
MEG: 5 9/16” (No Change)

Only length gains again but super stoked to basically be 7.5” BPEL. So close! It looks like I’m still not gaining any girth really from my current routine. I’ll probably try to step it up a bit more on wearing my PF.

I thought that perhaps my pumping/clamping that I have now would allow me to gain very small increments of girth but that’s not happening. If I ever decide I want to for sure gain some more girth, I would have to re-design my routine. I’d probably try to include multiple sets of back to back clamping/pumping and perhaps slow squash jelqs or some other manual exercise to go with it. But, I’m much more occupied with gaining length atm, so I’m going to set that aside for now and continue my current routine.

As a side note, I don’t really measure or keep records of my glans size but it does look a bit bigger to me. Length wise more so than girth. I don’t really feel like adding another stat to track every 2 weeks so I’m going to leave it be but I definitely am excited about that too.

I’ll make a separate post for my routine for today later on.

I tried pumping for 3 sets of 20 minutes but get some Edema at the end and didn’t do any clamping as a result. 20 minute sessions are just too long at the moment. I’ll probably continue keeping each set between 10-15 minutes.

5 1/2 Hours wearing PF

My TotalMan Infrared Heating Pad arrived today! I wrapped that around my pump during my session today and it definitely made a difference. I normally get to about 7.5 inches in my pump but I was definitely closer to 7.75 or so. My pump is also 8” long and 6.25” in girth. I was close to completely packing my tube both in length and in girth today. I decided to try pumping at higher pressures this time, which was definitely another contributing factor to my almost fully packed tube today. I don’t think I will be using my clamp for a whole 5 minutes based off my experience today. I seemed to have very little Edema after pumping but the clamping made it worse. I don’t think clamping itself was the problem, just that I had clamped too long. I also noticed after wearing my PF, my glans seemed pretty dry.

3/8/22

50 Tension Stretches
15 Minute Jelq

A little sad today cuz I couldn’t use my pump. My dick needed more time to rest. No PF either. I think I will stop clamping if I use higher pressures when pumping to avoid Edema…….or just clamp for less time. I may end up not even wearing my PF for more than 4 Hours a day or so just to give some more time for my glans to heal up. All this pumping and the vacuum from the PF is really drying out my glans very badly. I’ve tried wearing a glans cap, apply hydrocortisone repeatedly throughout the day but I’m still having issues with drying out.

The good news is that my flaccid seemed much bigger today! This is very likely due to the really good pumping session I had yesterday. I already want to measure again but I would like to make sure I wait till the following Friday (3/18).

3/9/22

50 Tension Stretches
15 Minute Jelq
3 Sets 10 Mins Pumping at 7-9 Hg with Cock Ring On
One Hand Erect Jelqs for 5 Mins between each Pumping Set

Great expansion again today. Had a little Edema but not much and it has almost entirely faded away after about 3 hours. I didn’t clamp in order to prevent worse Edema. No PF today to give my glans a chance to recover.
