Should I give up?

[Rem]

Hello all,

I have been doing PE since January 4, 2012 and in the first few months I made .4" EL and .4" MSEG. However, I have not made any progress in about 9 months now. My routines have changed slightly over the 9 months but the workout I am supposed to do tonight to continue the routine I am on now is as follows:

10m warm up
230 side to side stretches
21 squeeze @5sec
38 kegels held for 5 sec
20m pump with bathmate
5m warm down

I have started to feel like nothing is going to work and the only gains I accomplished were simply conditioning gains. Has anyone experienced a similar plateau? and if so how did you get over it?

How about cutting down om some stretches and give good ole jelqing a try. 10 tO 15V minutes 5 days a week with some stretches thrown in may help you. I would give it a try

Your routine should be dynamic- changing [increasing intensity/volume usually] slightly each workout so that you encourage gains. If you do the same exact routine time after time there is no stimulation to gain since there's no challenge to your penis.

Oh I forgot; silly me. We do have a rather successful personal coach. I hear he's a nice guy and really knows what he's talkinbg about. You could always give him a try; others have and I hear they're happy.

Hey Big Al, My routine is as you suggest. I have not been going at this blindly and I understand gains come at different rates for different people. I feel like I have tried everything outside of clamping and hanging - I have tried to keep a close eye on my PI's to make sure I am not overworking and I don't believe I am. it's been 50/50 if I wake up with an erection but my EQ has been solid all year since I started (better than it was pre PE). I have a very active sex life - probably an average of 4-5 times a week - and I have also experimented with 2 on 1 off, 3 on 1 off, 1 on 1 off, 1 on 2 off... nothing seems to make a difference in PI's.

I guess really my reason for posting is hoping that someone has a motivational speech on how they were stuck for a similar amount of time and suddenly one day saw gains again. I'm not a quitter.. not by a long shot - but it is demoralizing to see no change month after month when I feel like I am a very dedicated PE'er.

Well here is your inspirational story my hubby hit a plateau as it appears you have (his was after about 9 months of PEing) and he laid off for 6 weeks came back and added warm up with a heating pad which he had not done previously and viola, the gains happened. I am here to tell you they were pretty quickly after that. So don't give up this is a long term journey. Hang on and you will have success.

Depends on your priorities.

How much do you care? Is it something that is going to "bite you in the ass" so to speak? Will you be constantly unhappy about it?

When theres a will, theres a way. If you want it, you will make it work

Thanks for the replies. I have heard taking time off often jump starts new gains. I tried this once but after 3 weeks (21 days) I couldn't wait any longer and started back up. I have always had between a 7-10m warm up in my routine so I don't think adding anymore time to that would help... but I could try it.

@faithandhope - I have a goal set in my mind that I want to reach.. it's nto very far out of my grasp but with no gains in 9 months obviously I'm not there yet. I've never set my mind to something and not achieved it.. so yes, it's very important to me. Maybe a short mental break will help revitalize my drive and encouragement.

have you taken the supplaments that people like JP recommended in the 90days beginners routine?

I've heard that e.g. even if your taking supplaments like vitamins and stuff, if they're synthetically produced, then they're not as effective in absorbing to your body. If you haven't been taking supplaments at all, then I guess you could make a visit to a natural products store and shop around for naturally produced vitamins, and the other naturally produced supplaments that for instance JP had recommended to be taken with his routine (If I remember right, he recommendeed L-Lysine and L-Arginine, plus some vitamins)

It cost me personally about 130 euros (went to such a store yesterday) to replenish my supplies. I got d-vitamin, multivitamin with calcium, fish oils, L-lysine, L-argnine.

They are significantly more expensive than the regualr over the countet synthetic vitamins you get from a pharmacy, but I think it's been consistently proven so far that the synthetic vitamins just don't measure up at all, in effectiveneess.

Naturally produced vitamins are more expensive, it's because of the process that they drain the vitamins from fruits and stuff, somehow in a juice form. Or somethin like that. And then they concentrate it to the vitamins. But the other way to look at it, is to think that better quality supplaments does in fact warrant that kind of extra price. Because only so much of the vitamin ever absorbs, (and it's much better percentage with natural vitamins) it's not that bad of a deal.

so pony up bro and get supplaments.

ElToro brought up a good point the. Say if you do weight training in the gym for months on end but if you aren't eating the right stuff you wou't gain anything / very little. I believe the same go to penis growth. . .

 

[ElToro]

yep I'm just a newbie here and haven't gained much yet, doin about 3 weeks so far, the PE shabang.

check your diet so it's healthy, and check out your supplement needs.

The vitamin supplements are for basic health and well being, not just for your PE. So it's not just hocus pocus stuff. Again not sayin that PE is that. (I'm still in the newbie phase and haven't gained a whole lot, yet, so I can't speak with the wealth of personal experience in gaining)


L-lysine and L-argininine supposedly help boost the tissue growth (or repair) that comes from the pe exercises. And L-ariginine is at least marketed as an erection booster type of thing. If I remember correctly it has some of that nutrient which expands your bloodvessels (it boosts nitric acid?) which supposedly would help with bloodflow to the penis.

I workout in the gym 4-5 days a week and have been for about 4 years now, but I have always avoided any kind of supplements other than protein and fish oil. I do take L-Argenine to try and help with PE though. I also take a multivitamin but it's just one of the generic 1 a days.

My philosophy towards male enhancement training is- after 4 weeks, if you have not seen gains then it's time to try something different. If your EQ maintains/improves but your size hasn't then it's a sign that your workouts need to be more challenging. The inverse seems to be true as well- a decline in EQ usually means overwork- via overtraining or from another contributing factor like stress.
