Best exercises for length?

[wreg88 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close wreg88]

Hey, just got a quick question. Going to be officially starting PE tomorrow and was wondering what is better for length, stretches or jelq? I'm going to do both, but, wondering if more time on one or the other would be best for length gains. NBPEL 5 1\4 with MEG around 4 1\2 to 3\4 so I really wanna see some length gains within my first 6 months. Any help would be most appreciated!

I would say stretching. Good luck and smart move to do both exercises.

Stretching

If you are only starting PE you shouldn't make up your own routine, following a ready-made beginner routine would be the wiser and safer choice.

The JP90 is the most popular beginner routine: https://www.pegym.com/forums/beginne...r-routine.html

Stretching. But it's a little like saying what's better for eating, chewing or swallowing

It can depend on what your growth factor (limiting factor) is, and if you're limited by your tunica or smooth muscle. If tunica is your limiting factor, stretches will effect growth in length more, but if smooth muscle is where it's at then jelqs may give more length than stretches.

I think it may be the smooth muscle, I remember reading about this awhile back now that you mention it. My erections could be a little harder and remember that it is dependent on your smooth muscle being able to press against the tunica(or something of that nature, it's been awhile). Also, I am doing the JP90 but was just wondering if I might get better results out of focusing a little more time on one or the other. Thanks for the quick replies!

Yeah it sounds like it could be, and it can be beneficial to concentrate more on one or the other, but usually this is done after conditioning. You can check out the TGC theory thread though in the Science and Theory sub forum to get more info on these tunica and smooth muscle factors.

Cool that's what I really wanted to know was if focusing on one would yield some different results. Definitely will take a look at the article, time fortunately is not a big issue at the moment so I am waiting for my unit to be more conditioned before I really start changing the routine around, after all replacements are not plentiful.

Also, just a thought, I work out quite a bit and when I hit a plateau I usually make very small changes to my routine and just go to two times a day. Wondering if this same concept may apply to PE.

Do not plan on doing this until fully conditioned and start to see gains slowing, more just for some info while already in the threads.

Many body building ideas can translate into PE, but apart from the bulbospongious, and the surrounding ischiocavernosus muscle, the penis is made up of different kind of muscle to skeletal muscle and so not everything translates.

Two times a day may be worth trying in the future, but generally once a day is more than enough, as rest is key to growth here as well as exercise. That's why there is so much importance is placed on following one's PI's (physiological indicators) to ensure the right balance is struck between work and rest.

There is still a lot of unknown's in the world of PE, and so maybe you can help pioneer new training methods, who knows
