Greetings to all,
I finally decided to become a member and get serious about PE. I have lurked around the site for more than a year now, learning a bit along the way, and I now think I'm ready to start up for real. I began PE more than a year ago, following JP's beginner routine, but fell off after about a month or so. Looking back, it seems obvious that I was not taking it seriously, but those days are gone!
For the past two weeks I have done my own "lite" version of JP's program in preparation for the real deal. I have been going 5 days on, 2 days off. I always started out with plenty of warm up before each session (15mins or so at least) followed by stretching only with kegels. I started out doing 15-20 kegels per stretch in each direction (left, right, straight out, straight up) and am now up to 25 as of today's real JP routine. In between, I did the 10 large circles in both directions, followed by liberal helicopter shaking (usually 20 revolutions in each hand). I did not incorporate wet jelqs or v-jelqs at all in this lite routine (Not that I don't know how - I was doing them about a year ago when I first started learning about PE) as I wanted to be completely sure I was ready. Today's routine went by as smoothly as I imagine is possible. Maybe the lubricant helped?
My *first* JP beginner routine today consisted of warm up, stretching with kegels (big circles in both directions, helicopter shakes), wet jelqs, v-jelqs, and a cool down (light stretching added as well in the cool down). The reps/numbers of each type of exercise performed followed JP's program exactly. I was maybe a bit more liberal with helicopter shakes throughout than the routine calls for...
Well, that's about it for now. I plan to go 5 on 2 off to start, but if I find out that is too much to start, I may back down. I am a sport climber/boulderer, so I feel I know the importance of taking time off to recover. I'll keep updating with any news. Hopefully this log will do its job...keeping me focused and making me do my job...
Adios.

Good job on starting a log! Keep up the good work and stay safe.
