'Do or do not, there is no try'... Aidan's log

[Gyrta]

Oh, don't disappoint yourself over missed session.
I used to do that to, but the pecker is happy when it's getting some extra rest.

Sure, if it occurs too often it's not good.

 

[aidan784]

Thanks for contributing Gyrta, means a lot. Like I said, I don't intend on making a habit of it, just one of those days.

For those that don't know, John Lennon day today, as well as a few other special folks.

Going to make my routine the best I can tomorrow. Thanks again man.

 

[ErictheGed]

Aidan, its time we talked about your drinking.. or did you mean cadbury's bourbon?! Nah mate, yeah john lennon day, what a guy. A legendary dude. You know when they talk about john lennon airport they say its the best thing about liverpool- quickest way to get the hell out the place!!

Haha not at all man, but the best lennon quote i heard, they asked.. "is ringo the best drummer in the world?" Lennon deadpanned- "hes not even the best drummer in the beatles"! Genius.

 

[Going411x7]

"Imagine!!" Pure genius.

 

[aidan784]

Thanks fellas. Apologies for my posting under the influence last night, doesn't look like it was too bad actually.

Eric yeah, such an awesome quote I put that in the favourite quotes thread the other week. And obviously I meant biscuits, Jim Beam+custard creams equals win!

Did 10 minutes foreskin stretching just now, pretty sure I have full flaccid retraction all the time now but I'm still overly cautious about it getting stuck behind the ridge, so I only retract after a stretching session. This really is a huge thing for me, having started with what's termed 'pinhole' phimosis, I'd never even seen my glans till a couple of months ago!

Can't wait to get my jelq on later.

 

[aidan784]

Just finished my routine:
15 minute warm up, felt some fatigue at times during session I suppose. Erection levels anywhere between 30 and 70 usually. Went well.

It's been a somewhat mixed day in terms of all things penis. EQ has been through the roof and I've been ridiculously horny. When you're going through a particularly lengthy dry spell a day like this can be agony at times! Started feeling down about my confidence and stuff, easy to get in a vicious circle with that, I'm staying positive!

Started this morning when I had a rock hard random that didn't fade for about 15-20 minutes, felt like I didn't deserve this given the booze yesterday.
Got a couple of randoms while I was out and about, required some inventive sitting positions on the bus.
Ended up edging for 30+ minutes later in the afternoon, it was hard not to ejaculate but I managed to control myself.

Later on I got another random and decided to use it, did 4 sets of 10 'towel' raises with a T shirt.

REALLY wanted to edge after my routine, EQ was still amazing, but I didn't want to risk ejaculating so didn't. Still kept it up for about 5 minutes though.

I'd like to think that these great PI's are just me adjusting to this new routine but it may have been due to the unplanned off day yesterday, it didn't feel like I needed it though.

Excellent log title Aidan!

 

[aidan784]

Cheers Vulcan. You know it was the main thing holding me back from starting one; couldn't think of a good title ha.

 

[vulcan]

You have to have a good title, or people will not come.

What's the Avatar Aidan? Looks like a dinosaur doing lunges.

 

[aidan784]

Haha well I reckoned Yoda couldn't miss.

Well, it came out in TTBB's thread 'the penis name game' that an ex of mine named my member based on a baby dragon from the first Harry Potter film/book. So yeah... That's Norbert.

Lunging dinosaur works fine too though! I've been meaning to ask about how convict conditioning is going for you actually? Still enjoying it?
I figure lunging dinosaurs to CC is a legitimate link?

 

[vulcan]

Convict conditioning is going really well, I am up to stage 5 or 6 on most things I think.

The next stages are where I think I am going to take a long time to achieve it - uneven pull-ups & the pistol movement where you start to use the basketball.

I have a feeling that I might need to get down to 185lbs if I am to go further with it.

All my joints are starting to feel good, including my hips. Learned that my hips need about 4 days rest between squat days.

Have you been doing CC?

Sorry Vulcan, was knackered last night. Well it sounds like you're progressing well, congrats! It's good to learn things about your body.

Well I started, cautiously I thought as well. Started on stage one; but I think I was enjoying working out again too much, I didn't want to do the suggested routine of only working out Mondays and Fridays. There are only 2 different workout days in the 'New Blood' routine so I often just alternated and did 4/5 workout days a week. Started getting a bit of soreness.

That wasn't really the problem though, thing was I reached progression standard for pullups and couldn't find anything suitable for step 2: horizontal pulls.
So for some reason, like the idiot I am, I stopped doing any exercise.
I'm going to do some CC today, see how I feel. I'll hit it properly after New Year definitely as well as a better diet.

I remember Blink saying you had good weightloss early on, do you feel you've gained muscle since? In general though CC is a very well written book in my opinion, and even though I've got limited experience with the exercises, it seems to make sense.

 

[vulcan]

I used a sturdy table (going underneath) for horizontal pulls, sometimes when I exercise out-doors - I look for railings etc to do pull-ups or horizontal pulls.

One thing that I think is very important, is to stop & pause at the bottom of squats ~ to eliminate the bounce factor.

I hear what you are saying re the amount of work, which doesn't seem enough especially at the beginning.

I have a quite freaky body where I can add muscle naturally seemingly at will ~ but I don't look great when I train for muscle size (more like a prop forward in union). CC is good for me because it lets me train hard but ultimately encourages me to be lighter/better power to weight ratio.

I have found that my muscles are hard 24/7 on convict conditioning rather than getting bigger, I have slightly changed shape as-well. Feel stronger & joints have stopped aching. What I really need to do is more cardio on top.

That's something I particularly liked about CC, Paul Wade constantly talks about the importance of power as opposed to sheer bulk and size.

I only had experience with shoulderstand squats so that wasn't exactly an issue but I did hold at the 'bottom', I hold all movements like is suggested.
One thing I did get with these squats was when I first started, I had some back pain when doing them, but after 3 weeks this had gone pretty much completely. Definitely felt I'd made progress in that sense.

I haven't enough experience with organised exercise to know how easy it is for me to gain muscle but after a couple of weeks of wall pressups and such, I noticed a difference. So I may be a lucky one as well.
I have a somewhat weird body shape too, I have pretty broad shoulders but relatively wide hips as well. I've yet to decide on what would look good on me because of this.

Priority number one for me should be weightloss, so I hear what you're saying about cardio, plus I know that will be really helpful for my PE efforts
I'm too shy to just go running, too self conscious, it's something I need to work on.

All in all it'll be easier to start working on these improvements once christmas is out of the way. It's cliche but I will make next year better than this last has been.

10th December 2010

Well I intended to wait until later tonight to do my routine, but because I think I'll be out tonight, I did it earlier on.

Today should have been when I moved up to more jelqing, but because of the off day I had on wednesday I'm going to wait till monday to increase. May try going straight from 50 minutes to an hour, not sure just yet.

The routine itself went extremely well. It's rare for me to get more erect during jelqing because of the exercise, but for the first 20 minutes or so I was up at 70-80 percent EL consistently.
Something strange was happening but not bad. This might happen every session and I was just more attentive today. But yeah, with each right hand stroke my CS expanded and with each left my CC's did.
So it was a case of deeper, wider, deeper, wider etc. Felt great!

While I know I will have a few beers tonight, I'm hoping to keep it to a few. It's just not standard procedure to have soft drinks between alcoholic ones, so I expect to get some sh*t off my friends but we'll see. Wasn't going to go out but my under-age step brother is going to the pub where I'd be going anyway so I want to keep an eye on him. Not sure why I'm sharing this haha, think I'm just trying to give myself and excuse for going out.

 

[vulcan]

HAHA, You will inevitably encounter some sh*t from your friends for alternating alcohol/non alcohol - you do live in England after all. Thing is, it is not a subject with much material for them to work with really.

Newcastle have just gone 2-1 up against Liverpool with 10 mins left!!! Barton! (?) Please let it remain 2-1, Pardew will be praying it stays 2-1.

 

[aidan784]

Yeah, can't exactly explain why I want to stay away from booze for a while.

I think Pardew getting the job was a joke, in fact Hughtons getting sacked made no sense to me. But I wouldn't mind being proven wrong about Pardew, don't mind Toon. Hate Barton though.

Do you follow anyone in particular Vulcan? Or do you stick to your rugby mainly?

Given the amount of time I spend here at the gym I've wanted to mention the ashes, but I'm relatively certain if you searched the word cricket now this would be the only post that came up...

Edged for 30 minites earlier, no ejaculation, EQ wasn't the best. Only really the booze to blame though.

 

[vulcan]

There should be no reason to justify staying off booze, I am positive heavy drinking is not good for PE.

I am from Newcastle originally - they have just gone 3-1 up! I cannot say I am a massive fan, but I do follow them.

I tried justifying it before by telling them I just thought I drank too much, wasn't received too well by people my age. Like you said though, it is the UK...

Ahh I see, fair enough. I've got a couple of friends who are Newcastle fans, none too pleased with me having put Sunderland as one of my choices on my uni app.

How's PE going for you anyway Vulcan? What sort of routine are you doing if you don't mind me asking?
Oh, and would you recommend the MoS DVD?

 

[vulcan]

My PE is very casual at the moment, I am focussed on good EQ. I want a tiny bit more girth, but I am more or less completely happy now & mainly PE to try & get grower to shower flaccid gains. Maybe I am just trying to 'trick' the Gain Gods into letting me have that 0.5" more girth!

I have noticed good EQ lately as I haven't been doing any stretches.
