expc's Progress Log

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Lifting is lifting and will add muscle regardless, but the only way anyone will see significant weight gain is if they increase their caloric intake, skinny or not.

Yesterday went ok:
10 min warm up
10 min stretches
11 min jelq
2 min V jelq
8 min warm down
5 min stretches

I noticed that I may have some discoloration at the bottom of my shaft on the top. In some lights, it looks undeniably visible, but in others, I truthfully cannot see it... hard to say! The discoloration is also only visible when semi-erect or harder. As for the ball pain, it's continuing to slowly but surely get better. 80% on the 15th, probably like 90% right now. It'll get to 100%, I'm sure of it. Session tonight, I'm gonna take it easy and get back to you guys on it.

Been a while! I haven't done PE since the 21st, I thought it would be best to wait for my pain to fully heal. Well, I'm at 99% right now, so I'm starting tonight again as a Christmas present to myself! I'm going to skip out on weekly goals for the remainder of the year; what's most important is that I limit my masturbation and hit every routine (save the occurrence of injury).

Ah, and masturbation. I've had a bit of a relapse recently, not gonna lie. Today, however, I have yet to masturbate, and I'm determined to keep it that way!

SESSION TONIGHT, UPDATING TONIGHT, HONEST

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Sigh... or not ^. Been a while. To update:

Did routine on 25th
Missed routine on 26th
27th = off day
Missed routine on 28th
Missed routine on 29th
Did routine on 30th
And I'll be finishing the year with a routine tonight, on the 31st. I went from hitting every routine to missing 4 days in a row... I have to pin it to my injury, honestly. This was a really rough month in terms of PE, haha, but lots of lessons learned. I know I'm kegeling correctly, I know my limits in terms of pain, I've definitely gotten better at limiting my porn, etc. In terms of gains, I'm hoping to have something, but I don't know how great it will be... Injury and laziness took a lot of time off. I'll measure on the 1st or 2nd of January.

Here's how last night was:
20 min warm up - new style, heated a warm/cool pad in the microwave and used that. My heating pad appears to be in its final days.
10 min stretch - typical
12 min jelq - pretty good
2 min V jelq - need to work on not becoming too hard when doing these
5 min edge - UGH. I deserve it, though... haven't been edging/limiting myself well enough.
I didn't warm down/do a second stretch, stupidly.

ONE OF MY PRIMARY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS IS TO KEEP UP WITH PE AND THIS LOG.

And frankly, I'm excited. I think this is a resolution I can hold myself to. Pain is more or less 100% healed, I'd say, so I'm ready to dive back in. Also heading into 2012 w/o masturbating tonight... I've decided I won't edge for now, because it always has too happy of an ending. I'm considering doing a reboot for 2012... we'll see.

Hey man you are not alone in this. I have to motivate myself again every day. I actually made paperreplicas in form of my shortterm and longtermgoals I always look at. This definitely helps and reminds me of what I really want to achieve.

Also what has helped me non finishing off after edging is telling myself repeatedly that >I am in control< of my urges and lusts. I literally told myself "I can stop at any time, no matter how horny I am because I am in control". This has helped me alot and now I can do 30 min edging sessions and just go to sleep afterwards. Another rule I created is no ejaculation if I haven't edged for at least 30 minutes beforehand

Lost my trusty ruler today, so I didn't want to measure. I found it! I'll be waiting until tomorrow to measure, though. Today (1/1/12) was a rest day, here's how 12/31/11 went:

15 min warmup
10 min stretches
12.5 min jelq
2.5 min V jelq
5 min edge, again. zz
Hot shower warm down; no post jelq stretching.

Tomorrow is a big day! I get to do my first measure post-PE, and I'll hopefully decide if I take up a new routine I've been considering. Whatever the case, I will probably be amping up my routine.

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Here's the first measure!

1/3/12 MEASUREMENTS
BPEL: 7.0 (+0.3)
NBPEL: 6.275 (+0.175)
BEG: 4.9 (+/-0.0)
MEG: 4.625 (+/-0.0)

Not bad! First off, amazing BPEL gain. I attribute this to EQ and making sure that there was expansion, especially forward, in every jelq. NPBEL also had pretty awesome gains, though not as wild as BP. Still very happy with it, though; I could do with 0.175 a month! Because these gains were so large, I reckon that it may be possible that I measured slightly incorrectly at the start of my progress log, but either way I'm fairly certain that gains were made.

Nothing in terms of EG. For what it's worth, I don't measure head girth, but maybe I ought to-- I really do think I can see that it has gotten wider since 11/23/11. Then again, I thought my penis in general was looking more girthy and the measurements said otherwise, so perhaps not.

I skipped 1/2/12, totally was not thinking about PE that night, I had a lot on my mind. That means tonight (1/3) and tomorrow (1/4) will be on days.

Congratulations on joining the 7" club!

I found that there has probably been some undetermined degree of measurement error in each measurement I have taken. Across time I have begun to measure with a little more consistency. Girth tends to come a little bit slower and is complicated by what you consider to be your girth measure; i.e. an average of the three points of measure or just each girth measure as a measure onto itself. I myself kind of like the qualitative feel of how heavy it feels in my hand when slightly erect.

Woot gratz on these gains! 0.3" in one month is fantastic! Did you take before pictures? If not I highly advise you to do so
Keep up the good work!

Amazing gains expc especially seeing as though you took a little time off because of an injury! It just shows how important rest is, you can see the gains that come from it Imagine the gains you could get if you never missed a day!! Wow lol. Well done bro

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Yeah, the rest really did prove to be beneficial, I think, but I'm guessing EQ had a big role in such a nice gain.

Trying to recall what I've been up to... I know I did PE on the 4th and the 5th. Unfortunately, Friday through today I've been out of state and haven't had the chance to PE... I'm back now, though! I'll return to PE tomorrow.

On the bright side, I'm on day 4 of no masturbation... I don't think I've gone 4 days since last August. Which is kind of a scary thought... but good to know I'm there! On the 5th, I had an edge session where I didn't ejaculate, which is good. I just need to ease myself into and repress the, "You can go two more minutes!" thoughts, because that's what puts me past the PONR. Straight up haven't masturbated for the past 4 days. My weight is also up!

The scrotal pain is still a little touchy, I think... just have to be careful with it. I'm starting my jelqs a little above the head so I don't potential mess with anything connected around there.

Thats great to hear mate! You have come along way since the start Keep it up.

Sigh... a bit embarrassing to say this: I haven't been PEing since my last post. Tonight and tomorrow are definitely a go. I really do hope I see through to it that I PE consistently for the rest of the month.

It has been a number of factors. First, I've had family around the home, and have otherwise been busy, so I've been pressed for time and have favored sleep when I would have otherwise picked PE. If that weren't enough, I've also been working out, and aside from that being time-consuming, I've got this thought in my head sometimes afterward that I've done my self-service for the day. Those things aside, I've really been plain lazy. I also wanted to keep the no masturbation streak up, and I was afraid that if I did PE, I'd edge and eventually ejaculate. So it has been a number of things. (Oh, also, the scrotal pain has been threatening to rear its ugly head... it hasn't come full force, but I've felt some discomfort.)

As for the masturbation, it went for six days, I think. Which is awesome, I can't recall when I last went that long. Wednesday I masturbated 2x, Thursday 0x, and today 1x. Sometimes I feel great about not masturbating, and other times I feel like I'm just holding myself back from pleasure. It gets hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, not gonna lie. (One thing I have noticed is I get rock hard after not masturbating for a couple of days-- and here I was thinking I was hitting EQ 10 beforehand!) I'm going to try cold-turkeying it again tomorrow.

Session to come tonight or tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh, and the bright side is this:
- I get a three day weekend starting now
- I've got $100 to blow on clothing this weekend
- Family is going away tomorrow, so that won't be a hassle

The perfect recipe for restarting PE, I'd say!

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

Family going away will be good.

Your comments about masturbation and cumming with edging is interesting. I am getting to sense that perhaps not ejaculating as part of edging would be something to
aim for I think. More often than not I either have a dry orgasm or ejaculate as part of edging. I typically do not stop prior to some sort of orgasm. This I think reduces my general eq and probably more so since I am older than you.

So perhaps it's a matter of preference: orgasm more and have somewhat lower eq or orgasm less and have a strong firm dick that quivers as it unloads.

I thought i was hitting 10 EQ aswell, then when i stopped blowing my load i hit a whole new level of EQ that i never thoughtwas possible! I did this from when i started PE and feel it really helped with the gains. I also remember reading a study done on here on how much gains a group of guys got that masturbated daily, weekly, monthlt and never... long story short the guys that never came had the best results! After seeing that survey i actually didnt want to cum lol. That was enough for me

[expc Member Find all posts View Profile Close expc]

Well, I'm testing doing a lot of PE and doing none to see if my scrotal pain is related to it, because I'm afraid it has come back- not full force, but enough to be a little obnoxious. Anyway, I will PE tonight, didn't last night, did the night before that.

1/16:
10 min warmup
10 min stretches
11 min jelq
3 min v-jelq
10 min warm down
10 min stretches

So, pretty normal. I hate this pain, man, it's holding me back so much. As for masturbation, I'm usually going one day on, one day off, but 2x on the on days.
