Got something above the "par" (in my standards) done yesterday!
16:25 4.5.2019 2,5 + 2,76 lbs
16:50 4.5.2019 off
16:55 4.5.2019 2,5 + 1,05 lbs
17:15 4.5.2019 off
17:18 4.5.2019 2,5 lbs
17:38 4.5.2019 off
17:48 4.5.2019 SS on (~5 lbs tension)
19:19 4.5.2019 SS off
21:00 4.5.2019 Bathmate 5x5x3 routine
Usually if I do a hydro pump routine, it is just that during one day, so I am glad I got some hanging done yesterday as well. The reason why my weight markings are like so is for the speediness.
I don't like counting, so I just write down the weights that I used during a set.
I tried lifting my feet on the table, did it for a while. That really hits the ligaments on a good way!
Mostly I hanged straight down though.
Could have worn the SS for a bit longer, but it was getting close to my sauna time and dancing game exercise. Got a good sweat before sauna, it really helps my mood a lot.

What a downfall from that "par" session I had. It's already Friday for me as I started to write this (1:14 AM) and this week hasn't been great PE wise for me.
The last session I got in before my current one (going on!
) was probably 5x5x3 routine by Tuesday.
I just haven't got myself to do my hanging sessions, the last attempt at hanging was by Monday.
Somehow I didn't get in the groove and things just didn't work out. I was mentally too tired to muster through it and went to do outdoor work. Regarding that, as Spring is on and Summer time is coming, there is more for me to do outside. I'll go for wearing SS as ADS whenever I can though. I personally like wearing the Silistretcher, it feels great, but just the sleeves alone I feel that I want more ...
I had a small cruise to Tallinn by Wednesday, that was a nice thing, went there with a friend.
Purchased some stuff that is expensive or unavailable here in Finland. Some propolis for example and vodka for making a propolis tincture.
And I always buy the local men's magazine!
It's a souvenier and it's nice they still print it. All adult /men's magazines in Finland are gone now, to my best recall. Oh well, times change.
Some nights I do a light clamping set. I don't usually mark those down in my training schedule as it usually is just part of "cleaning my tubes."
Anyway, it's just light and done with a Cable clamp, when I get serious and down to business I take out the clamp stillwantmore made.
Second hanging rep going right now, started with 2,5 and 2,76 lbs plates combined, now toned down to 2,5 and 1,05 lbs plates.
Probably a third more set with just the 2,5.
So, small "break" happened but I've kept my head in the game, coming here and participating.
Gaining isn't just physical for me, it happens in the mind as well. So when I wish happy gaining it's about gaining more intel, more outlooks on life, more physical strength and so on, not "just" penile expansion.
OK, getting back to more focused training, I'm glad I got a set going on, I was a bit bummed out how badly it went by Monday.
Back on the field, game on!

Long as you noticed that you are losing focus in someway it becomes easy to re-focus on what your goals are. We can’t take a day or even the week that goes wrong as being a terrible thing because just like climbing Mount Everest PE is a lot like climbing up and down but continuously moving upward. Take the good days with the bad days in the end what we’re looking for is our goal size.

Men's Magazine? I thought The Internet put all those out of business
Sorry Brothers!
For few weeks now my PE hasn't been up to the daily regime I had it at. It shifted to a maintenance routine again with 3 hydropump sessions in a week with some light clamping.
I feel a bit bad, I truly haven't practised what I preach. But I've kept my head in the game and participated on the forum, which at times is more "rewarding" than my own gaining process.
I have been feeling plump and vigorous downstairs, so the pumping still does give something although it should be more frequent. The light clamping sessions are usually from 5-15 minutes.
Kegels I've remembered to do on almost daily basis.
I guess if I were to make an excuse it's outdoor work and other stuff that have got me preoccupied and away from sets. As Summer is coming I find myself outside more and it has been hot lately, no coverage for wearing Silistretcher, well maybe down by the leg, but it's seriously weirdly hot over here for several days already.
(Weirdly hot here in Finland for me is 70-77 Fahrenheit. I'm more of a polar bear. )
Regarding the magazines, yes, internet has pretty much killed most adult publications, even video distribution is nowadays pretty much online. I just got interested about magazines several years ago, haven't been collecting for a while now though. It comes and goes, I used to check out for older 80's men's magazines and gathered some. Also adult comics are something I'm interested about, there are few good artists in my country actually. But as said, it comes and goes, there are peaks when I look for something and then there might a big long silence.
Still going back to magazines, I do read out local news from a printed magazine, other than that I might be living on Cloud 9. Sometimes it's just faster to absorb information from a paper than electronic device. Or that I seem to remember better from printed stuff as it has the physical contact that adds to the stimulus.
Ramble and ramble. I'm still at enhancing myself, breaks happen from time to time.
What I'm glad about is that I've kept a maintenance amount of PE going on anyhow.
Best of gains to every Brother out there! And thanks DLD, I went back to your message and felt more at peace again.

I like snow and the possibility to wear warm wool clothes without issues, but it's the darkness that eventually gets me. If there's no snow, it's just so darn dark. I spend a lot of time up at night, in certain amount of darkness but I do really like the Summer sun. It's fun as over here in Finland there are few "nightless nights" when the sun doesn't really set. Messes some people up so bad!
Oh yes, it has turned to Friday for me but I did have a sauna evening before, few hours ago, did a 5x5x3 routine.
That's something that has stuck for a longer time, even if my overall effort towards PE are little, the 5x5x3 routine is one consistent thing I do.

Quite the opposite for me...when the clock 'springs' forward all the way through October is my favorite...the sun doesn't set until almost 9p (and about 9:45p on 6/21) which allows for a full 18 holes of golf after work
Yeah I don’t find many people that agree with me. I think it’s because I spent so much of my life and depression that I’ve become used to darkness. I don’t really like to be around people so when it’s winter not many people around. I also love cold nights and down comforters. Everybody has their own mojo

We are not our thoughts; we are not our minds; we are not our bodies. We are the space between our thoughts - this is god consciousness. You allowed your mind to take you into darkness, while you were in the light all along. The illusions - we become slaves to them, and they make us suffer tremendously. We must take off the blinders to see ultimate reality.
You are now in the light, friend. Blessings and love to you.
Very enlightened post by @Iceman338 !
Days got a bit more cold again and rainy as well. Made another guitar plectrum out of ebony wood, a really thick one. I don't play too often, I am at times more into the gear you can create nice sounds with.
And a small piece of certain material is often overlooked. I've made several ones during the years just for fun.
Also saves me a bit of money, special picks are costly.
PE wise I did my 5x5x3 routine. Managed to do some cardio after a brief pause again. I dislike how I get these pauses, it just happens. When I get back to my dancing game I always feel great after a session.
Going to do more getting to know my body in the nearby future, as encouraged by @Haursen .
For a longer time I've let myself fall into a very quick route and that's not good. Longer sessions also burn more calories so it's good for weight loss, well, in theory anyway, it's not like it's a lot of burning ...
I notice if I do a daily marking I can keep a certain amount of more momemtum going on.
As in remembering to do more Kegels sets for example.
I know that there's a one "dirty" reason why I'm falling and climbing back up, I didn't really create a straightforward routine plan that I've seen others do.
But; in the end, I like to take this whole PE in relatively relaxed way, surely that can mean slower gains but I'm feeling way more confident this year though.
Great gains to all you Brothers!
PS. Quick thought on supplementation, the Grape Seed Extract is nice stuff. Cayanne isn't possibly so great on me, maybe lower dosage, I always feel this certain burn that can be relatively uncomfortable.
Not too sure about Pomegranate capsules.
It's a wide variety I take, Tribulus I usually rotate Monday to Friday, weekends off.
Ordered some honey and probiotic supplement, along with ceremonial grade Matcha tea. The Matcha tea I better make a more daily or several days a week thing, it's very invigorating.

Wonderful stuff my Finnish wizard, this is awesome stuff!!!!! your a true role model, and all you need to do next is become more of an experimenter with equipment, because I know you can crack some mad shit out.

The Godly PE Journeyman
EEK!
In all honesty, my PE journey has been very slow. This Summer season is catching up and I spend a lot more time outside, doing all kinds of yard work, also for several neighbours.
I apologise to all Brothers for not being more active on my own journey. For me, when I got into PE in some sense, it has always been about fun and enjoyment. That creates a very relaxed state of training which means slow gains, but gains anyway.
5x5x3 routine has been a strong point for a longer while. I can do more and go for it at times.
I would say I'm a great example of that you can have many tools but if you don't use them, the gains aren't just going to magically appear! Take caution in this; while tools really can help and speed up the process, one must use them to gain.
You won't gain muscles just by buying a weight lifting set, setting it in the corner and staring at it ... If that works as an analogy. And yes, it's totally meant for me!
Kegels, for sure. Some stretches and jelqs. I might do clamping sets, 5 - 10 minutes every other day for example but I don't mark those down in the Training Schedule file I have on my desktop. Might have mentioned this before; it all boils down to the relaxed way of doing.
Good news, I have an interview next week. Right after I scheluded it there was another call, I will call them back after this first interview is done and I know more.
That would ease up things in monetary sense and in other ways as well. Would likely mean less time for PE but more productive possibly. I've noticed that when I was working on a regular basis, everything I did on my free time felt a lot more meaningful. Just the feeling that you're a bit pressed for time makes you put more effort in, at least in my case.
Once again, apologies, I truly don't feel like anything of a role model, more of a cautionary tale of "do your work or you end up like ark!"
On a lighter side, did some self-exploration, that was good. I need to make it more frequent.
Things are still in motion, but the speed varies.
OK, rant / vent off, got some stuff to do, today is a 5x5x3 routine day at least.
Wishing the best of gains to all Brothers!
PS. Maybe it's easy to see, my mind is going 100 MPH or something. Still have my massage oil in the making, I should finally strain it to a more liquid state without much grains from the powder.

If there's one 'take-away' I've learned, it's that we all have our own pace/cadence and when we attempt to slow/quicken it, our balance gets thrown-off. You'll get to your goals when it becomes important enough, but for now, enjoying the ride is equally as important
