Good workout today. Finally was able to get some good sleep so feeling more in the zone. When I started the initial manual stretching I could 'feel' soreness (like the kind when you've worked out the day before) in my entire shaft. It wasn't painful and went away after the first 2 directions of manual stretching. I think that's a good sign that things are getting worked. I really worked hard and focus on Wednesday's workout.

I'm noticing less burst capillaries at the end of the workout even though I am concentrating on pushing my squeezes and super slammers. Wondering if my unit is getting conditioned. I had a lot last work out (really focused on some hard squeezes) and today I only have a handful. We'll see what next week brings. Might consider a rest week since I'm near a month of workouts on the new program.

Adding in more rest days definitely seems to help with gains, I've quickly measured a few times (cheating) when I've been really hard and have hit 7" BPEL. Official Measure day is after next weekend so we'll see.

BPFSL Measurements:
Pre workout: - Pinch 6" Grip - 6.25"
Post workout: Pinch - 6.5" Grip - 7"
Change in length (Strain): Pinch - 4.2% Grip - 7.7%

Less than 5 Burst Capillaries

Coming off the weekend as rest days and forcing myself to get some good sleep last night I had a really focused workout today. Only got release on Friday night so had pure rest for over 48 hours before today's workout. Woke up last night 2 or 3 times with a raging hard on. Had a slight itch this morning at the underside base of my shaft, wondering if I put a microtear in the skin at the base due to hard on and movement on the bed etc.

I've changed over to using scrolller for the edging portion of my workout (from pornhub) because I found that I was losing focus on the workout when watching porn. Seems to work well to maintain focus. Anecdotally, when I'm stretching 'North' the tip of my penis extends higher than my bellybutton now which is definitely further than it did when I started stretching a few months ago. My flaccid stretch has also been increasing as shown in my notes. Slowly but surely....

BPFSL Measurements:
Pre workout: Pinch 5.75" Grip - 6"
Post workout: Pinch - 6.75" Grip - 7.125"
Change in length (Strain): Pinch - 17.4% Grip - 18.8%

About a dozen burst capillaries

Was well rested today and had a good workout. Going to focus on really stretching my BPFSL pre-workout and I think I haven't really been stretching it to the full length pre-workout in the past. You'll note the decrease in strain for stretch measurement. For pinch I'm still just using my fingers to 'lift' my penis and measure so I think there's a lot of variability in this. In the future might just return to tracking BPFSL.

I'm going to skip my Friday workout to give my unit a few rest days since I'll be taking and official measurement on Sunday. My BPFSL is definitely longer than it was a month or two ago so I think I'm making progress. Other interesting thing to note, although I had a really good workout today, my burst capillaries count went down from Monday. Same thing happened last week. Hypothesis: Burst Capillary PI decreases with the frequency of active PE workouts.

BPFSL Measurements:
Pre workout: Pinch 5.75" Grip - 7"

Reflections on Anxiety

Had an unexpected week off last week. Prior to the week, one night my SO got a call from Public Health and was notified that she was directly exposed to Covid by several of her co-workers who continued to report to work with symptoms. Long story short, we were placed in official quarantine (at home) for a week to make sure we didn't present symptoms. This immediately put an immense amount of anxiety on my SO and myself in fearing that we would get Covid and that our children would also get it, normal parent stuff except x100. The worst part was passing the hours constantly evaluating if we were getting chills or just making it up, if our throat hurt or if we were just having allergies, if our nose was running or if that was normal...Anyway, here we are over a week later still symptom free. Hooray.
Why I'm posting about this is because it was unreal to me how the anxiety of the situation was all consuming. All week I had no inclination to do anything but monitor my health. I had no sexual urges, I got no morning or night wood at all. My SO was equally as anxious but if she had propositioned me for sex I probably would have turned her down. Needless to say I didn't PE or strength/cardio train at all last week.

Anyway back to progress log stuff.
I measured a few times over the past few days trying to get a good measurement and I think that I can honestly say I'm up to 6 7/8" can't honestly claim 7" like I was hoping for.
I started in on my PE routine again this morning and had a really hard time not getting hard during my exercises (which is really weird). I usually start stretching and my penis is like "Oh hell no" and remains reliably flaccid until I start working it for super slammers. Anyway, I did the routine fighting with my erection and gave in when I got to the edging part and released. I think I have to "rebalance" my sexual energy after having a week and a half dry period. When I was doing PE I was like 8 or 9/10 but ready to blow at any point. Weird part is I didn't "feel" the need to orgasm prior to starting my workout. Was just weird. Going to try to get back into my groove before I start recording numbers again.

Was much more back in the zone today and my workout felt back to normal. I've gotten off several times over the past few days and didn't have the nuisance erection while stretching that I did on Monday. Anecdotally, I feel like my head has gotten smaller after my anxiety week, I'm frequently having to regrip under my glans now whereas before I felt like I had enough 'overhang' from my glans to naturally get a good grip. Anyway, was a good workout and it feels good to be back to 'normal'. Had to pause the workout before edging and jump on a meeting so might have thrown my post measurements off.

Ended up missing my workout last Friday because life got in the way. Had a great workout this morning, felt really good. Decided to start measuring whenever I feel like it because doing the whole one measurement a month thing seems to have a way of falling through.

BPFSL Measurements:
Pre workout: Pinch 5.75" Grip - 6.75"
Post workout: Pinch - 6.75" Grip - 7.25"
Change in length (Strain): Pinch - 17.3% Grip - 7.4%
BPEL 6 15/16"

Edit: 20+ burst capillaries, most I've ever had. Got some good squeezes in

Another good workout today and I measured at 7" while 10/10 so pretty pumped for that! Still getting a lot (more than usual) burst capillaries from my supra slammers. Really trying to push it to the next level. Sometime I have to remember to take a new girth measurement.

Well after a long time I'm back. An interstate move followed by delays getting into our living space has made working out not possible since May so it's officially been over 6 months since I last sat down and did a workout, until today.

I picked up an air pump with a gauge on Black Friday for $30 because I knew I wanted to get back into PE and thought for $30 I'd give pumping a try. Wow! What a game changer, not sure why I hadn't done that a long time ago.

Some good news too, I have measured erect a few times and confirmed that I haven't lost any of my prior gains. (Maybe a 1/16th of an inch but maybe I just wants 100%).

With the pump I changed up my routine a bit. I'm still doing the stretching but replaced the super slammers and clamped edging with 10 mins of pump time at 5 bars of pressure. It's a big time saver.

Added Edging and SuperSlammers back into the workout today after pumping. After a week of pumping I wasn't noticing the 'strain' post workout like I would get with edging and squeezing while clamped so I put that back in and noticed some burst capillaries post workout which I wasn't noticing last week.

I'm pumping everyday as per one of the Air pumping 101 pinned threads in the devices forum. Basically increasing time or amount weekly. In short this means I'm still doing the MWF full routine but then finding a half hour or so to warm up, pump and warm down.
I've been frustrated over the past few weeks of starting the routine again that I'm not maintaining control and being 'master of my domain.' Most of my workouts have been ending with me popping. Even though I don't think this diminishes the effect of a workout I dislike not being able to maintain control and finish out a workout with a nice plump flaccid. Anywho, as I continue working out I'm going to be dropping the use of porn from the workout until I can regain control. I think having 6 months without any 'me time' has really pent up some demand and I need to be able to control the routine again.
So to restate for my own knowledge my routine looks like this:
- Warm up 15 mins with electric heating pad
- Stretch (30 secs) all 8 Compass Rose directions and straight out each direction followed by 10 cranks in either clockwise direction followed by 10 seconds of lose spins
- Air pump ~5+ in. Hg increasing in duration or frequency week by week
- 15 mins of clamped (tight silicone cock ring) edging with super slammer squeezes
- Warm down 5 mins with electric heating pad

Current Supplements:
- 1500mg L-Arginine
- 2400mg L-Citrulline (one in morning one in afternoon)
- 4800 Sunflower Lecithin

Good workout today, was really feeling in the zone. The pump adds some variability I feel to the effectiveness of that part of the workout. Sometimes with it I get a really good seal (where my testicles aren't being threatened to be eaten) and sometimes I don't. Makes pulsed pumping difficult in that regard. Anyway, I still think the pump gets me a stretch that I cannot obtain any other way so I'm going to stick with it.

BPFSL Measurements:

Had a few days off due to the holidays but was able to find time and privacy to at least pump for the expected time everyday. Got back to my normal routine today.

I'm finding a normal process with the pump in that it is able to show physical strain in the form of burst capillaries similar to super slammers. Going to keep the edging with squeezes in the routine but pump now seems to be giving me more desired strain than it was at first.
