My P.E.N.I.S.
Progress, Experiences, Notes, Insights, and Successes

20110926-1528: Ok, so this is my log. This first post is just a placeholder that I will edit when I get some things together. I think it's time I start keeping an exhaustively detailed record of my PE since I'm trying new approaches and more intensive exercises and I want to be able to look back and see what was more effective and what wasn't so good. I'm also hoping some more experienced guys will catch things that I miss and that I will be able to share some of my more insightful observations on PE.

Be back soon.

Initial Penis Size
BPEL: 5.81"
EG: 5.19"

Current Penis Size
BPEL: 6.87"
EG: 5.43"

Short-Term Goal
BPEL: 7.25"
EG: 5.62"

Intermediate Goal
EL: 7.5"
EG: 6.25"

Long-Term Goal
EL: >= current (whatever it ends up being)
EG: >= 7"+ would make me pretty happy

Split workouts interfere with healing?

Day 4 of an increased-intensity and more girth-focused program and so far, so good, I guess. I still use my adaptive approach to PE, i.e., I don't follow a set routine of exercises, sets, and reps but instead adjust what I do to the natural state of my penis. I've replaced the majority of the jelqs I do with ultimate jelqs and I haven't been keeping track of how many I do. Generally, I just workout for a set amount of time and pay close attention to how my penis is responding.

I don't have any negative PIs to report and I've had good wood in the morning (and after any nap, for that matter) as well as a nice flaccid hang about 85% of the time. The one thing I'm not thrilled about is that EQ during workouts is really taking a hit, but it's okay because I know it's natural for the penis to show signs of fatigue when subjected to high-intensity exercises. In a way, I think it's good because it paces me and helps keep me from overtraining and/or increasing the intensity at a quicker pace than my member can handle but it's also annoying because I get fewer reps in the same amount of time since I am essentially edging almost to PONR between exercises to produce an EQ of 8-8.5 for ujelqs, ulis, 440s, and erect bends.

3 out of the 4 days, I've done bundled stretches, multi-directional stretches, and A-stretches anywhere between 4-8 hours after my first workout. I like the fact that my penis is much more receptive to stretching a while after my workout and I like that those stretches have seemed to make turtling non-existent. My only real concern is this: Does breaking up a workout interfere with the healing process?

One way to look at it is that doing those stretches several hours later may help to encourage the tissues to heal in an elongated state. The flip side of that coin is, of course, that the activity may be interrupting the healing. Since I am easing into this higher intensity program, it may be that my penis is resilient enough to handle this now but it may not always be the case. (Side note: I have always had really good resilience. I PE 6-7 days a week and even when I think I'm pushing my limits, I'm still good to go the next day. I've talked a lot with Going411by7 about dynamic PE and, like he did in the beginning, I PE 1-2 hours a day every day. I haven't had huge gains, but I have gained and I've had nothing I would call a negative PI yet.)

So if anyone reads this, please feel free to share your thoughts on the split workouts and weigh in on whether you think maybe I'm just not working out hard enough.

Day 12

Wow, I suck at keeping a journal. I'll have to try harder. I have not been missing any PE though, other than designated rest days. Some days are more intense than others, depending on how I'm responding. Been noticing some turtling when I'm sitting at the computer but it doesn't last if I'm walking around with my cock out. I definitely need to spend less time sitting around, regardless of the turtling.

No really bad PIs so far. Getting a little more light bruising on some days, but it always goes away by morning. Speaking of mornings, the occurrence of morning wood is pretty inconsistent. I will have to keep a better log to see if there's any correlation between the day's workout and the presence (or lack) of morning wood the following day. I haven't noticed anything that would indicate that this is the case, though. EQ during workouts has been varied, but almost everything I'm doing is beating the hell out of my poor dick and my overall EQ does not seem to be affected at all. I've woken up with some extremely hard erections in the past couple weeks so the little guy must be recovering from tough workouts okay.

I split my workout today just to see how it affects me tomorrow. The first half was good. Time to go do the second half.

Will be back.

Day 13

Ok, so now I'm confused. The second half of my workout last night consisted of only about 20 minutes jelqing and then about 2 hours of LAS, fowfers, and about an hour of edging, after which I blew a huge load. The first ejaculation in about 2 weeks. Haven't seen the girl for a minute and I kinda needed it. I also did some bundled stretches that left my willy pretty wilted. Well, I thought for sure after a two-part workout, brutal bundled stretches, and an orgasm that my dick would be pretty much out of it today, but no. I woke up with a raging fuckin stiffy that didn't wanna go away for about an hour and 15 minutes. Since then, everything seems like business as usual. Penises are so mysterious.

Day 26

Been pretty busy. I find time to browse the forums and comment a bit, but I'm terrible at keeping a good journal. I am not, however, inconsistent with the PE. The only days I haven't trained were days that I thought I needed an extra day of rest. I'm still doing mostly girth-oriented exercises combined with LAS and fowfers later in the evening to make sure I don't turtle. If I'm sitting back on the couch, it's not an issue but often when I'm sitting at the desk, the little guy has a tendency to turtle a bit. Aside from the fact that I think it's not a good "position" for him to be in while resting/healing, I don't like how it feels so I keep him stretched out as much as possible. Generally speaking, though, I seem to have a much better flaccid hang all the time. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I often go to take a piss and my cock feels heavier than I'm used to when I pull it out. It seems more like blood (flushed flaccid) than edema, which I'd guess is a good thing. It's a sign of decent vasculature and you can't heal without blood, right?

Speaking of healing, I'm trying out several supplements and approaches for improving my penis's ability to heal. I think this is often overlooked and it seems to me like it's at least as important as the workouts themselves, if not more.

Tunica Tugs, 440s, and Ultimate Jelqs have been the focus of my workouts and yesterday's left my dick kinda sore. I don't plan on taking measurements for a couple months so I won't really know for sure, but I'm taking it as a good sign. I feel like I'm using the same intensity, but sometimes I don't get the spotting/bruising that I do after other workouts. Can't figure out why that is. If the effectiveness of my workouts is as inconsistent as some of the PIs have been, I'll just consider the last few weeks to be mostly preparation for a more intense routine. Ordering a Bathmate and a dry pump pretty soon and switching from 1-on-1-off to 1-on-2-off or maybe even 3 off with edging on the 3rd night. Gotta wait and see what EQ is like after a brutal girth workout made up of pumping and manual exercises. I'm expecting it to be pretty weak the second day. I have zero experience with pumping of any kind so hopefully I'll be able to get some help around here.

One last thought: I've been seeing a petite young lady who gets sore after a long night of fucking, but she can handle my size without issue. I'm kinda feeling like a girl her size should be a little beat up after the first time and the fact that she's not is proof that I need to be bigger. She says she's more than satisfied, but it doesn't really change anything for me. Further proof that I am definitely doing this for myself.

Day 27

Had wood this morning, but poor EQ, like maybe 6 at best. No bruising, spotting, or soreness remain from my last workout so I will get a workout in later this afternoon, making it 1-on-1-off. I'm going to do some tunica tugs and dld blasters after jelqing and then try to edge for maximum expansion before clamping post-workout. Trying to make this week count since I'll have a few days off next week. Gonna spend some time with a lady friend who does not know about PE, but I did tell her about edging. She said she wants to see how long we can edge and she wants me to use her pussy and asshole to edge with as long as I promise to blow in her mouth when it's over. Anal edging with a cute chick? Uh, yeah. It's better than strokin my dick alone in my bedroom, that's for sure.

Day 29

AM wood, pretty good EQ during workout. U-jelqs left it a little bruised and a bit sore, but it's plump and seems to be staying that way. Interested to see what kinda shape it's in tomorrow.

Day 30

No morning wood, but nice thickness all day so far. All light bruising/spotting from yesterday was gone. Sprang random wood and did a few short ulis which resulted in some spotting almost immediately. Probably a good sign that today the little guy needs some rest. We'll see about tomorrow.

[The Holy Intruder Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close The Holy Intruder]

Day 31

Did jelqs and some clamping. No slammers or blasters this workout. Seeing some pretty good bruising so I'm backing off. Plan to do tunica tugs later tonight after he's rested a bit provided there's no soreness. Getting real close to 6" BEG now. Wish it was MEG. I don't wanna have to be balls-deep for a girl to feel that 6" girth. C'mon man!

[The Holy Intruder Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close The Holy Intruder]

Day 32

Clamp bruise is still there, so it's not like the pseudo-bruising of slammers/blasters/ulis. Those are always gone the next day. This is an actual bruise. If I knew that I was actually 6" BEG, I wouldn't have clamped quite so tightly. Gotta take it easy! Damn.

Day 36

Soreness and bruising were gone last night, almost early enough to have gotten a workout in before bed, but I prefer to do it in the morning. Had two cups of tea and 15 min warmup with rice sock and about 40 minutes of jelqs and u-jelqs that left my johnson kinda beat. I'm noticing a definite decline in EQ, but not in frequency of erection. I spring wood a lot, my cock hangs pretty plump throughout the day, and I have big, explosive ejaculations if I allow myself to indulge which I do, although not often. It just hasn't been 9-10 EQ for going on about 3-4 weeks now. I'm hoping that I'm seeing TGC Theory at work here. Taking a break for a few hours, then going to edge and clamp.

Day 38

I maintain that penises are unpredictable. Mine is, anyway. Yesterday was supposed to be a rest day and I had some random turtling during the day which I'm guessing is due to strain during the previous workout, but I had no real spotting or soreness to speak of so I did about 20 minutes of pretty hard jelqs and squeezes before taking a shower and going out and then about an hour of light-to-moderate stretches before bed. I thought I might wake up needing another day of rest, but I had a nice hardon when I woke up and my dick feels/looks good. I think I'll go ahead and get a workout today.

I kinda wish someone could explain these patterns (or lack thereof) but I don't expect it to make any more sense to you than it does to me.

[Guest Close XitemeM]

Nice log and notes THI.

I also note some unpredictable patterns. I had a pretty big workout the other night and still had strong wood in the morning. Sometimes a good workout is exactly what he wants to make him stand up and feel proud of himself. hehe. I think maybe the PIs need to be looked at from a weekly perspective rather than a daily one perhaps.

Keep up the good work.
