expc's Progress Log

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

I'm starting this (long-winded) progress log in hopes that it will help me stick to my routines and see through my PE, which I'll be traditionally starting today. I've been an idle reader of these boards for too long, and it's time to get going! Numbers don't lie, so I'll begin with my starting stats:

11/23/11:
BPEL: 6.7
NBPEL: 6.1
BEG: 4.9
MEG: 4.625

And with that, I'll get this out of the way: I have a skinny dick. Not abysmally so, but what I have to work with isn't very much. For that reason, I'm hoping to primarily gain in girth throughout my PE experience. I don't mind my length; I'd like to see gains there too (any dimension works for me!), but I'm not concerned about it. Outside of purely size-related gains, I want to improve my stamina: I want to feel like I'm in control during sexual activity. After all, what's the point if you can't put it to work?! These things said, here are my goals:

SHORT TERM / LONG TERM / ULTIMATE:
BPEL: 7.0 / 7.5 / 8.0
NBPEL: 6.5 / 7.0 / 7.5
BEG: 5.2 / 5.4 / 5.8
MEG: 5.0 / 5.3 / 5.5

Yep, I've got a ways to go. I realize that girth gains can be harder to come by, so I'm just going to believe that slow and steady will win the race.

My routine is not clearly settled on yet, and it will certainly be dynamic in nature. I like the idea of progression - adding to my jelq time slowly but surely, adding more advanced exercises as I go, etc. I will be adopting a lot from the penis90x (or whatever) routine to start, but I won't be following it to the letter. Here's what my routine is currently shaping to be:

2 days on, 1 day off
10 minute warm up - heating blanket or water
5-10 minutes stretching in all directions
10 min jelq @ 40-60% erection, adding 5 seconds per session
10 minute warm down - heating blanket or water
Edging / ballooning - add 10 seconds per session
w/ kegels throughout the day (should I incorporate this into my routine?)
And lastly, I'll try to abstain from masturbation on off days (ballooning ok)

I'll change it as I progress and find more suitable routines. I'll try to detail this log every now and again with pictures (not sure how often I'll be measuring, probably once or twice a month), and I'll try to update daily with how my routine went. Keep me motivated, give me advice, anything! I'm ready.

Hi Expc, i like everything about your routine except for the Ulis. Doing Ulis on an unconditioned penis can risk an injury so that's why it's best to leave them until you've conditioned your penis with a few months of training under your belt.

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Thanks for the advice, I opted to take it and not do Ulis today. Having read more about them, I agree, it's safe to wait at least a couple of months before I move ahead with them.

Anyway, did my first routine! Warm up went really well. Wet jelqing, in the shower. I think I need to work on maintaining a lower erection level. I'm also having some trouble jelqing because I'm uncut. I read up about this as well, and I'm starting to think I should do dry jelqs and allow the foreskin to freely go over the head? Thoughts on this, anyone?

Post-routine was depressingly bad, jacked off twice. First time I was simply edging and went overboard (about 4 min... nowhere near my high of about 30); second time was just a lack of mental fortitude. I'll have to work on it...

One other thing: I'm changing my split to either 2|1 or 5|2, instead of 1|1.

.

Don't be depressed about the jacking off or the short edging time. Those will improve at a similar rate to your "mental fortitude." You'll probably end up being so reinforced by the infinite sensations of a 30 minute plus edging session that your fortitude will increase dramatically except for those random times when you blow your load at 4 minutes or 15 minutes. Each session is a learning experience and a sensory experience whether you go for 4 minutes or 60 minutes.

Day 2 complete! Finished a good session. I think I've finally got jelqing down and have found out what works for me. I masturbated earlier in the day (what a blessing and a curse it is to have access to Bangbros passes), so I decided not to edge- I feel like I need to practice keeping my hands off my dick. I also did my warm down in the shower- hope that's fine. In addition to my regular routine, I added 20 V-jelqs just to see what they were like... I REALLY like those.

Tomorrow's a day off, but I'm not checking it off just yet- tomorrow's goal: DON'T MASTURBATE. DON'T EVEN TRY TO EDGE. In addition to helping my penis heal up, I need to practice self-control... I also definitely feel more energetic the day after I masturbate.

One thing I haven't been doing is kegels... yeah, I need to practice them and find out if what I'm doing is indeed a kegel. If it is, I need to work on holding it big time... but that's ok! Even if I don't see growth progress by year's end, hopefully I'll see something in terms of PE/kegel progress... all about functionality. By the way, thanks for the wise words, mvergasioin... I try to tell myself that it will only feel better and better the longer I go. Instead of trying to reinforce my thoughts with... my thoughts, I think I'm going to try to focus on the pleasure I could be bringing to a woman to get my mind off it. Besides, with a 4 min session to start, the only way I have to go is up!

One last thing, I decided to change my 1|1 split to a 2|1. Hope this is fine... preparing for the hormone-crazed battle of the will that will be tomorrow.

preparing for the hormone-crazed battle of the will that will be tomorrow.

Part of the battle of will is to know what you are fighting. The second is a goal.

You have both.

Man, I just wanna say that I am so psyched for myself right now. Started lifting today, I'm just imagining how my body and penis might turn out by this time next year... I think my commitment to starting PE has really helped me in more ways than one. As for today, haven't masturbated yet, but the night is young, hahah. Gotta focus - I want my sig to be clean green for the month of November.

EDIT: No jerked gherkins here! Haven't taken a day off masturbation for a looong time, very pleased.

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Going for two days in a row for no masturbation... I'm tempted to edge, but I'm not sure it's a good idea quite yet. Session to come, I just wanted to write that I'm gonna try not to jack off... silly, but I feel like it helps me commit. I want November to be a GREEN SHEET.

[Jelqinator Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Jelqinator]

I'm a noob at PE but been lifting for about 2 years now.

And you're right, in a years time you will be a different(Better) man. Stay constant and get your diet right!

Checking back in after two days of PE.

Nov. 30 didn't go as well as I had planned - I did end up masturbating, as opposed to just edging. I did, however, get a nice edge session in in the shower (not sure how long, but not really important, since in-shower time doesn't really correlate, at least for me). I did get my routine done, though.

Dec. 1 - just finished. I was thinking about calling it a night at midnight... but I couldn't live with myself if I missed two days in a row so early! Credit me that, ahah. Also masturbated today, but like Nov. 30th, only once... this is a big improvement to the ~3 times a day I was doing pre-PE. I also noted that I was able to hold a kegel down that would have pushed me past the PONR beforehand... so that's good.

Here's what I did today:
15 min heatup (small heating pad/blanket) - a bit longer than usual, was doing work in the process.
10 min stretch - 60 seconds each for up, down, left, right, and out, then some circles, then some helicopters.
11 min jelq - accidentally went over time slightly, not a big problem
1 min V-jelq - felt like it
10 min warm shower warm-down - didn't edge or anything during or after, because my frenulum was looking red and feeling a little irritate post-routine. Feels ok now, but it's good I have a rest day tomorrow to make sure it stays ok. Did a few min of stretching here
Did maybe 20 kegels throughout the day, not enough... I'm working on holding them for a few seconds.

EDIT: and here's how my November calendar looked:
NOVEMBER:
[27][28][29][30]

Green (100%) = completely passed, orange (50%) = incomplete (or current day, for in sig), red (0%) = fail.
Giving me an 87.5%, B+ average for my first go. Works for me! I'm shooting for the 90s in December.

Hey expc your doing realy well keep it up! Also to go from poppin your load 3 times a day to a gap of 2 days is a big improvement, it will only get easier from now on because you know you can do it!

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Thanks man! Yeah, going from like 16-20 times a week to like 8 times a week is actually a great turn around. Unfortunately, yesterday I saw my first regression in terms of masturbating... jacked off twice. I'll just have to not jack off at all today to make up for it!

Two new things:
1. I'm considering adding a zinc supplement to my diet
2. I'm considering adding tunica tugs to my routine. Is it too early for this?

I'll update w/ my completed routine tonight.

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Yup, 12/3 down! Didn't masturbate, got through my routine, and I'm pretty sure I got the kegel down. (Can't hold it long when flaccid, though.)

Routine:
10 min heat
10 min stretching (up/down/left/right/out/helis/circles)
12.5 min jelq (lost track of time)
30 V-jelqs, cut back to make up because of extra jelq time
Warm down in shower (about 5 min stretching)

Really want to NOT masturbate tomorrow too, so I can go 2 days in a row w/o doing so.

[GymBoi4eva Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close GymBoi4eva]

Tunica tugs are a bit advanced for a beginner, i think you should wait untill you have conditioned it more. You dont want to risk injury or hurting yourself, at the end of the day its not worth it. Just keep it simple and give it time, the basics gain you quite abit all on there own that is what i found bro

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Yeah, I'll hold off on them for at least another month or so I think.

Just jacked off, which I'm pissed about. Still, I'm managing to average about 1x per day... which is like a 60% improvement from beforehand. Now I have to work on resisting the temptation two days in a row. I'll get there this week, I think. On the bright side, my edging time is about 9 min now (over double what I started with). Routine to come tonight.
