McPecker's Log o' Health

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

Howdy, all. Been reading around pegym for a while, and decided to start a routine. You can find more information about me in my introduction thread.

Simply put, my goals are to reach maximum / optimal health, so my focus will be on EQ, stamina, lowering refractory period, and maintaining overall mental health (staying clean from porn and obsessive behaviors).

EDIT: I have also decided to begin foreskin restoration, this discussion starts on post #64.

Growth is simply a side-effect, but I am interested in tracking growth gains because I'd like to know what my limits are and would count growth gains as a positive indicator, along with the things mentioned above. Plus I'm just plain curious if it'll work for me in that department. If no growth occurs, but my health improves and maintains at a level that makes myself and my partner happy, then I will have reached my goals.

So, enough jibber jabber, I'll be easing into this with JP's 90 Day Beginner Routine, plus 30 minutes of edging after each workout. I'll also be doing micro-loading, as explained in the linked article, which is just adding a few more reps every day. That approach makes sense to me based on my knowledge of exercise physiology, but I'll always keep an eye on my PI's to make sure I'm not over doing it. My schedule will be 5 days on, 2 days off.

UPDATE: Based on Big Al's comments here, I'll be doing the same program, only doing length work (stretching) AFTER doing girth work (jelqing). Hopefully, this helps someone as I monitor my progress.

UPDATE #2: After 90 days of JP's Beginner Program, I transitioned to https://www.pegym.com/forums/penis-e...e-routine.html beginning on April 8, 2014.

UPDATE #3: After some EQ issues, I decided I was happy with my size / gains and am convinced PE works to enlarge penises, given dedication and consistency. Switched over to maintenance routine (https://www.pegym.com/forums/success...nner-read.html) April 22, 2014.

I actually started my routine on Monday, so here is my first week's workout.

Week1Log.png

I also edged after each workout for about 30 minutes. On Friday, I tried doing edging "reps", where I edged 10 times, rather than timing. I think it was around 30 minutes, so either way works fine for me. I think I like the "reps" approach because it gives me a definite goal to hit.

Note: I am not ejaculating after workouts, and am trying to space ejaculations at least 3 - 5 hours before or after.

The weekend I will rest. No measurements until after 6 weeks.

Thoughts:
After a week, I've got to say I'm very pleased with my increased EQ. I'm noticably harder and fuller. I've been doing kegels for a while, so I think just the added stimulation has increased bloodflow to the area. Also hanging more fully than I can remember in a while. No soreness or edema, some redness and a little sensitivity. A great first week.

So, based on some comments from Big Al in this thread, I'll be switching the order of length and girth work and doing stretches after jelqs, but still adhering to JP90.

I'll consider the first week a "warming up" phase. Hopefully it helps others. I'll continue micro-loading at the same rate I left off on in Week 1.

Week 2, Day 1 - First day of Big Al's Switcharoo

Back after 2 days rest. Did usual warmup, then jelqs followed by stretching. Edged for 10 "reps", then warmed down. The new "order" seemed strange, but I'll get used to it. Just weird to go from slightly erect for jelqs, then to flaccid for stretching, then back to erect for edging. I did seem to "feel" more during the stretching portion. Nothing else extreme of note, but I did seem quite larger than usual during edging. Definite EQ improvement which equals increased "size". The word "huge" ran across my mind. Not a bad feeling. I don't like getting too detailed, but the wife is noticing and appreciating the improvement already. 'Nuff said.

Workout breakdown below.

Week 2, Day 2

Really felt this workout. Was one of those days when it was hard to stay focused. I have days like that in the gym, and always feel better when I push through. In my experience, those are the days when you gain. No pain, etc. Had a hard time edging b/c of overall energy levels, but got through it.

Listening to my body and decided to dial back the microloading progression. I was moving too fast. Will add 2 reps only every day.

Tomorrow will start at 160 and 100 wet jelqs and V jelqs, respectively.

Week 2, Day 3

Great workout. I think dialing back helped me a lot. Had great EQ, and had a great edging session. Decided to ejaculate afterward. No regrets, it felt great and I felt better for the rest of the day afterward. No soreness or redness. Been using silicone lubricant for jelqing, but running out and tried baby oil today. It worked okay. I'm sure there are lube threads around here I'll have to read up on.

Week 2, Day 4

Another good workout. Feels like I'm hitting stride. Gonna keep on, keepin' on. EQ is definitely continuing to get better. I ejaculated again after edging. My refractory period is about 20 minutes now, so I'm interested to see how my EQ and other PIs fare tonight, as the wife has not so subtly hinted at some action tonight.

EQ was great for sexual activity. I am noticing that somewhere in the middle during sex, usually when switching positions, my EQ will drop to about 7 or 8 and needs more stimulation to get back to full erection.

I'm sure this is addressed somewhere, if anyone has a link to share, I'd appreciate it. Maybe fatigue?

Week 2, Day 5

So, I'm at the end of week two and it's going well so far. Improved EQ and I think my sex drive is even up a little. My penis definitely seems fuller and heavier, especially flaccid. It's really hanging there now. Looking forward to continuing after some rest.

What program are you using to make those lists?

Just normal excel?

Great log and stay motivated!

Sweet, thanks!

Yeah, just Excel. A bit nerdy, but it works.

I didn't take any flaccid measurements, as my main goal is not to increase size, but I can't ever remember hanging like this. My wife can't seem to not stare at it / grab it all the time. Hopefully it's not too "bulgy" out in public.

Yeah that excel log looks much nicer that my long description of exercises

Week 3, Day 1

Some EQ issues. Was worried about overtraining / fatigue / injury, but realize that some needless stressing was really affecting me physically.

--------------------------------
Tuesday update: I need to emphasize the impact that mental state plays in everything in life. Been going through a lot of stress, and I think that has been the culprit of some EQ issues that I mentioned earlier. Past that now, and feel like a new man. We all go through "funks", but it's wise to consider mental state before doing drastic things to improve ED or EQ. I'm preaching to the choir, but this is a log to remind me of my improvements and mistakes so I'm putting this in here anyway.

Completed workout with some difficulty, but put in the work, nonetheless.

Try to look at your PE sessions as a form of relaxation.

I personally listen to meditation type of music while I do my PE workouts

Try to bump your warm ups to 10 minutes.
