Hello everyone,

I've been lurking on this site for a little over a month and doing a modified version of DLDs beginner routine for 1 month and 1 day.

I started on Feb 12th and beginning measurements were:

BPEL - 15.9cm
BPFSL - 16.3cm
MSEG - 10.9cm

My routine has been:

- Warm Up
- Bundled Stretches
- beginner stretch routine 3x30s in all directions
- Jelq 200-600 reps and experimenting with other exercises (horse squeeze, SSJs)
-Erect stretching

I am married and have a couple kids so I've been clandestine about my PEing. I've been training length 4-5x per week, girth 3-4x, and erect stretching 2-3x.

The last 2 weeks I've been wrapping up with an ace Bandage immediately following my length work to promote healing in an elongated state. And using a shoelace to clamp for 5-10 minutes following girth sessions.

My measurements yesterday at the one month mark were as follows:

BPEL - 16.5cm
BPFSL - 18.2cm
MSEG - 11.3cm

So, I've gained some and am a believer in these methods. I appreciate this community and all the advice the brotherhood has given out to all the lurkers like me.

I suppose my goals would be to get to 19-20cm BPEL and 14cm EG.
Do you guys think that this current protocol consistently applied will get me there? Anything I should add? I'm not looking to add any equipment at this time.

Thanks again. This brotherhood is pretty amazing.

Welcome and good start, for now probably just add in kegals to your routine, thought of adding a pump maybe bathmate or mityvac? Other option is an ads such as sillisleeve, these will take you to the next level.
 
So far so good! Those are some solid 'newbie' gains...keep-up the momentum while your d!ck is still trying to figure-out what you're doing :) I'd definitely suggest that you keep your PE endeavors on the DL.
 
@andyuk I'm not really looking to purchase anything right now. I'm doing the ace wrap in place of a sillisleev and it seems to be doing alright. It will be good to compare notes going forward. Do you have a progress thread on here? What's your routine?
 
Family day today so I got up early and did the newbie stretch routine.

Bundled Stretches for 5 min
1) 3x30s manual stretches in all directions
2) ~40 min of experimental bundled stretches while I watched random stuff on the PC
3) lots of kegels throughout the day
4) wrapped up in an ace bandage for 5+ hours and counting

No girth work today. Family stuff made it impossible.
 
I woke up early again this morning to get my stretch in before the family wakes up. It was a good session. Very focused and a finally learned how to get a good stretch in each of the basic directions for the newbie routine. I had a few 'aha' moments today.

Routine:
5 min Bundled stretch
3x45s stretch in all the directions

Before today I had only felt like I could get a good stretch in the BTC and downward angles, but today I realized you could amplify the stretches in the straight out and upward angles by moving your hips in the opposite direction of the stretch. I used what I think is called a counter stretch method for the upward angles. These adjustments really gave me a deep stretch in the deep recesses of the penis and I think may have changed the game for me. I'm starting to experiment more with kegels and reverse kegels during the stretches.

I decided today I'm not going to measure for a month or 2. I measured too often early on and it just wasted a lot of time that could be spent PEing.

I kegeled a bunch yesterday and am going to increase the amount of time spent on kegels and reverse kegels.

Mindfulness is important with PE
 
Good best not to measure too often, can so easily get you down and stop you carrying on with PE, best way is to keep going and don't worry
 
I was really sore from 3 days in a row of stretching so did 30 minutes of girth work today and clamped for a total of 20 minutes.

I'm constantly paranoid about thrombosis every time I do girth work. Certain veins feel hard and rope, sometimes for a few days after a girth session. Is this something to worry about?

I get same feeling, you should be ok
 
Thrombosis is something you should only fear if you are clamping or restricting bloodflow for an extended period of time. Even if you do get Thrombosis there is a solution to it to heal. So have no worries.
 
Well, the coronavirus has shut my work down for the next month so I guess I'll have plenty of time for PE.

This morning I did my stretch routine:
Warm up
Bundled stretches
3x45s in all directions (using counter stretch

Bundles stretches

I will heal all day wearing an ace wrap and maybe do a girth session later.

I have a couple of questions. I noticed that, while flacid, I do have a sort of baseball bat effect going on(haven't noticed this while erect). I have developed more girth closer to the glans than midshaft. Will this eventually even out if I stick to this regimen? I have heard @DLD mention that SSJs can be used to target specific spots for girth improvement. Are there any other methods to gain girth in mid shaft area? I guess I need to keep experimenting with the SSJs


My other question is about clamping. When using a cockring or shoelace do I need to get fully erect and then clamp off? Or is there value in just clamping off in a semi-erect or even flacid state? I'm only doing 5-10 minute sets of clamping and am very cautious not to overdo it. I just was wondering what others were doing.

Thanks guys.
 
After reading recommend cock ring over clamping, I do mine for around 20mins after girth work in the state it is so usually in a mid flaccid to erect state
 
Well I got sick over the weekend and wasn't able to PE. I'm feeling a little better today so got back on track.

Warm Up
Bundled stretch 5 min
3x45s beginner stretch in all directions
3x25 rotary cranks in all direction

Now I'm healing up all day in an ace wrap. It feels good to be back on the PE grind.

I noticed the last few days that my walking around flacid unit is definitely a lot bigger than before I started PE 6 weeks ago. How long does it usually take before erect length starts catching up to the flacid gains? I haven't measured in a while but I'm sure my BPFSL is ~3cm longer than BPEL measurement. I saw in the SRT thread that expressive stretching is a way to bring the 2 measurements closer together so I'm wondering if this is something I should start adding at this time.

I think it’s a fine time to start that. Expressive stretching is a whole new area that men usually do not stretch. You’ll see great growth at the base of your penis making you longer. As far as getting the two measurements closer together I think you’re referring to erect stretches. Erect stretches help to bring together your BPEL and your FSBP.

I am happy that you were looking through SRT as there are many wonderful suggestions, ideas and methodology that will really help in any work out.
