Getting bigger! Gosh's progress.

[gosh]

So it's time for me to start a progress log. I started experimenting with PE in January this year but nothing serious and no gains.

I started PEing more seriously on the 6th of February. My routine was done on Sat Sun Tue Wed. The first week was one day following JP's beginner routine but cutting the jelqs and v-jelqs to only 2 sets and the next day just stretching. From the second week till now I've been doing JP's routine, again only 2 sets of 50 jelqs and 30 v-jelqs. So basically my routine looks like this:
On Sat Sun Tue Wed:
10 min warm up with a hot wet towel (gradually increasing the temperature)
5 min warm up with a hot shower (starting very hot and increasing the heat as much as I can)
Stretching:
10 secs with left than with right hand downward stretch.
30 secs stretching to the left, right, up, straight out. After each of these I do circular stretches - 10 clockwise and 10 counterclockwise. Also after each stretch I do helicopter shakes.
50 jelqs
30 v-jelqs
50 jelqs
30 v-jelqs
10 to 20 jelqs as a finisher
I do this in the bathroom and take a shower after that. Since week #2 I started edging after the shower, I usually cum after about 30 minutes of edging. Also since week #2 I added some stretching in the shower on Mondays and some edging on Thursdays.
I also do kegels at some time in the day on Sat Sun Tue Wed. But I thinks I was doing them pretty much wrong till now as I was flexing my abs too and also I was doing too much because last week my dick felt VERY sensitive and I had a hard time to hold back when I tried to edge, I freaked out a little and decided to skip my Saturday session. I also think that I should restrict the edging to be done only on my main workout days - Sat Sun Tue Wed. I try not to masturbate at all and for the last month I haven't had any sex.

My intention is to continue for now with this routine and try to gradually increase the jelqs at the end of the workout till I reach the 3 sets of jelqs and v-jelqs as prescribed in JP's guide. Currently I'm working on improving my jelq technique as I think I'm gripping a little harder than I should. I do the jelq at 25-70% EL, usually 30.

A few words on the supplements I'm using. Because I'm training with weights and I don't have enough time during the work days to eat I use whey protein and protein bars (low sugar - no more than 3g). Also currently I'm losing my fat so my meals consist mostly of protein, a little low GI carbs and I'm not careful with the fats as they usually aren't a problem. The other supplements I use are whey amino acids - different quantity, a lot on workout day, BCAA - also a lot on workout days, Omega-3 (Fish oil), Vitamins.

Currently I weigh 86kg (190lbs), I was about 95kg (210lbs) in the end of November. I'm trying to get stronger (and am getting), that's why I'm losing the weight slowly.
Another thing I should mention is that my PE workouts are done usually late at night when everyone is sleeping here on my weight workout days. I thought this would be a good idea as my testosterone is higher after lifting heavy and also on those days I consume more food and supplements. The only problem is that I don't get much sleep but this is a sacrifice I'll have to make to get a bigger dick..

My initial stats are measured on the 6th of Feb 2010:
BPEL: 14.3cm (5.6")
MEG: 12cm (4.7")

My last measurement was on Saturday (6th of march 2010) and the stats are:
BPEL: 15cm (5.9") - this was the first length milestone that I wanted to pass, the next one is 16cm
MEG: 12cm (4.7") - unfortunately no gains in girth, don't know why
BPFSL: 15.6cm (6.14") - started taking this measurement after I read Gator's article.

My current goal is 7"x5.25" and I want to reach it this summer.
My long term goal is pretty common - 8"x6"

Any comments and suggestion are very welcome. Also if someone has an idea why I'm not gaining girth I would love to hear it

 

[gosh]

So
Today I did some light JAI stretches during the day because I felt kinda turtled and my flaccid didn't feel right, no more than 15 JAIs.
Now in the shower I did 10 JAI stretches, 15 second stretch in each direction (D R L U SO) and 7 rotational stretches clockwise and counter-clockwise after that, then another 10 JAIs. Thats all for today as it is a semi-off day Stretching pretty light today, not pulling too much.

During the day my flaccid didn't feel good, it felt kinda smaller. Maybe this has something to do with the skipped workout on Saturday.

No kegels today. I feel that my PC muscles need some rest.

I forgot to mention that I usually do some helis and shakes after I pee to get some more blood moving and keep my flaccid better.

 

[gosh]

09.03.2010

Main routine tonight was:
15 min warm up, while warming up with the shower I did 20 JAI stretches.
Stretching: D L R U SO for about 30 seconds, doing 25 quick kegels on each stretch and than a quick count to 5-10. After each stretch (except the downward) I do 10 stretch circles in each direction and helis after that. About 10-20 second rests in between stretches. Did all stretching in about 7 minutes.
50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 15 jelqs.
Immediately after that I took a shower. The whole thing with the shower took about 65 minutes (at least 15 for the shower). On finishing the shower when my dick relaxed I did another 20 JAI stretches.
About 40 minutes after the workout I edged for 25 minutes and just had to cum at the end

In the morning I did 4 sets of 20 kegels while travelling to work. Throughout the day I did a few JAIs (no more than 15) and did some kegel start/stops when peeing to get a better feel of my PC muscles.

Decided to measure my BPFSL after the shower - it was near 16cm but couldn't get a good measurement. I'll measure it after my 2 days off on Saturday.

Now I have about 5 hours to sleep before getting up for work

 

[Gel King]

Good stuff Gosh, you are well on your way! My routine was started the same time as yours and is identical. But instead of JAI's, I added side-to-side stretches and I also wear an ADS a few hours a day.

 

[millia]

Hey Gosh congratulations on your success so far! Your penis is almost the same as mine (starting) and it already looks like you're making gains.
What kind of supplements do you take (like brands) because I'm interested in taking some as well being a fellow weight lifter. But my thing is I'm taking the all natural approach to lifting weights (my gains in definition have been retained the best in my life) but am worried because my diet is similar to yours except I eat actual foods and not protein bars/shakes, but I don't get enough vitamins.

 

[gosh]

Thanks New Perspective Good luck with your gains!

 

[gosh]

Hey Millia, thanks!

I checked your log. It seems we're in pretty much the same situation: I'm also a full-time student and employee, am not a semi-pro athlete but I train often and dedicate a lot of attention to my physical improvement, but also lifting heavy sh*t builds character you know , unfortunately for about a month now am not a boyfriend, but I'm working on it, hopefully things will work out there . Anyway, the point is that I feel you man, it's tough but this will make the success even sweeter

To answer the question, here's the list of supplements I currently use:
Optimun Nutrition: 100% whey gold standard - great stuff, started using it last year, love it. I use shake with about 30-35g from it 3-4 times a day (4 on training days)
MegaPro: whey amino xtreme - started using those last month. Seems pretty good stuff. I use 4 tablets in the morning and in the evening and 4 before and after workout.
PrimaForce: BCAA, unflavoured - very good stuff, especially while losing fat to help preserve the muscle, but tastes and smells like sh*t. I drink this with the protein for this reason. I use 8g in the evening on off days, 8g before workout, 20g after workout and 5g in the evening on training days. I'm purposefully overdosing this now to help me keep muscle and boost recovery.
Now: Omega-3 - very good stuff. Absolutely everyone has to drink extra omega-3 (fish oil or something) because there is just not enough in the food. I use 2 softgels in the morning and 2 in the evening.
ISS: Vitamin pak - seems good. I use one pak in the morning. I used them for 21 days, now I'll detox for about 8 days. This is my standard scheme for vits - about 20 days usage of strong vits for athletes, then about 7-10 days detox, works pretty well for me and I feel great. Vitamins are again one of the things everyone should use - there are just not enough in the food.

I like you used to eat only actual food but then I started to lift heavier and more ofter and at the same time I was getting busier and busier - job, university... So the supplements help me a lot as I don't have time to eat 3 actual meals when working. Now I feel physically better than ever, I'm losing fat, getting stronger. Just recently the strength gains started to slow down noticeably because of the lost weight. So for now it seems I've found a good formula

Hope that was helpful

10.03.2010

Routine was pretty much the same as yesterday:
15 min warm up with 20 JAIs at the end while warming up with the shower.
Stretches: 10 sec D w/ right hand, 10 sec down w/ left hand. Helis. R w/ 25 kegels + a quick count to 5, 10 circulars in each direction, helis. L - same as R. U - same as R but the count was to 10. SO - same as U.
50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 20 jelqs - all sets were started at varying erection between 50-70% and ended with about 20% less EL.
Took a shower for about 15 min and did 20 more JAIs at the end.
After about 15 min rest I edged for 35 min (had a mighty yield at the end )

In the morning I did 5 sets of 20 kegels while waiting for the bus. Throughout the day I did a few JAIs (about 15) and did some kegel start/stops when peeing.

Decided to measure while edging: no girth gains but length reached almost 15.5cm, lets say 15.4cm (6.06"). Hope to be somewhere around there when I measure on Saturday

Well again I have 5 hours to sleep Taking my supplements and hitting the bed.

 

[millia]

Yes I agree with the busy factor, it's quite a female dog. The best way I found for me to lose the weight by strength training and ridiculous cardio was by super high reps of weights on lower weight. This way I trimmed A LOT of the fat that I had (except in my mid section ] and gained the foundations to the definition I have now. I've found that after weight-lifting on and off for football over the past 5-6 years that I've never felt more better physically and looked as good as I do now by taking the all natural approach. Completely worth all the time in the gym. Lifted earlier today and it was wonderful, can't wait to free up more time so I can do more lifting! You should also be gaining weight as well from converting fat into muscle, has this started happening yet?

 

[gosh]

Well fat doesn't get directly converted into muscle To gain muscle while losing fat is actually pretty complicated. In order to do it one can benefit a lot if he has good genes, but also it involves careful dieting, carb cycling and other stuff which I'm not doing.
I've gained strength so far while losing fat, but I haven't gained a noticeable amount of muscle mass. I'm actually more of a fan to lifting heavier sh*t usually for low reps but I also like high rep exercises occasionally. Nothing is more effective for muscle building than lifting heavy sh*t for many reps . Well of course everything depends on the diet. I can easily gain a lot of muscle with my current training program if I just add some more calories.
I like to switch to different training styles from time to time. Currently my training is more strength oriented and the main lifts are performed in 3-6 rep range, going up to 10 when I want to make a rep PR, the assistance lifts vary depending on how I feel, I could do 3-6 reps with them for about 5-6 sets ramping up or I could do some lighter stuff for more reps - around 10, and occasionally bodyweight exercises going up to 20 reps (chins, dips).
Right now I'm using Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program and I love it. Very simple yet very effective.
I've train for over 3 years now. I used more bodybuilding like programs, I've tried some higher rep stuff like German body composition (I liked this one a lot actually, but it can't be done for longer than 6 weeks without switching to something else for a month). But my current approach is the best for me so far. Well of course there's no single best program or something and I'll definitely switch to something else after some time, but I'll probably still come back to this kind of training after.

Today was an off day. Didn't do anything PE-wise.

This morning I didn't notice any wood. I'm used to not having a lot of wood in the morning, I think it's mostly because of the stress and the lack of sleep, lately I've been noticing some but nothing today. Also no random erections during the day which worried me a little. I'm probably a little overworked, but also I've been pretty stressed lately and I'm worrying about all kind of sh*t so this might have to do something with the lack of wood.
But my flaccid seemed nice most of the day, had some blood moving, except when I started thinking about some stupid sh*t that is worrying me and I turtled a little.
I think the problem with the lack of boners is mostly in my head but I should be a little more careful anyway.

Hope to get some wood tomorrow :S

As a side note I'll mention that this week is my deload week for weight training and I'm not training a all, because I've been pretty busy at work.

Edit: did some fowefers when I went to bed for about 5 minutes.

 

[gosh]

12.03.2010

Off day again. No PE stuff today.

Today when my alarm woke me I had a nice erection No erection during the day, but was pretty busy. Flaccid was ok, turtled a little when I was going out for work and when I came back home, but most of the time was nice and relaxed.

Just measured my BPEL - 15.3cm (6"), I'll remeasure tomorrow to be sure. This makes 1cm in 5 weeks, but I've been gaining averagely 0.25mm a week for the last 4 (no gains in the first week, as it was more like preparation - very light). I'm pretty happy with that. I hope to continue gaining length at this rate and hopefully to start seeing some girth gains soon.

Cheers

Keep up the good work Gosh!

Yes I guess due to my genes and diet the best thing for me is to low(er) weight higher rep. But that is also because I have a gymk at my house and do not have a spotter so, I'd rather be safe then sorry on that.
Body weight exercises (pullups, chinups, dips, weighted dips) are the sh*t.
Congratulations on your gains!

 

[gosh]

Thanks Millia!

Gym at the house is awesome, I wish I had one (and a house too ;p).
Of course being safe is the most important thing in the long run. Getting in good shape and being strong isn't a one month or one year quest, it's a lifetime journey and you have to make sure you don't break yourself. But personally I like very much lifting heavier and really enjoy it, but I always try to make it as safe as I can - proper technique, on some moves I use a spotter. I like to push myself to the limit but I don't do it all the time of course, this way I'll just hurt myself (I've actually suffered from such stupidity once - over-training leading to injury in my back muscles). So I think that it's best to do it smart and enjoy it for a long time
Bodyweight exercises are very nice. Although I don't consider the weighted dips a bodyweight exercise as I'm adding more than 50% of my BW when I do them, but they are one of my favorite - done BW for high reps or with weight. And chinups/pullups are one of the best exercises I know.

13.03.2010

Routine today:
11 min warm up then 20 JAIs then another 2 min warm up - warmed up with the towel only.
Stretches: 10 sec D w/ right hand, 10 sec down w/ left hand. Helis. R w/ 25 kegels + a quick count to 5, 10 circulars in each direction, helis. L - same as R. U - same as R but the count was to 10. SO - same as U.
50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 20 jelqs - done at 50-30%
Tried cool down with the wet towel for about 3 min.
10 min rest then edging for 25 min (again with a happy ending)

I was trying to use a lighter grip for the jelqs as suggested by Cleave - seems that I can push about the same amount of blood with lighter grip, judging by the hardness of the glans, so for now I'll go a bit lighter.
Also tried to implement a better form on the jelq as suggested by calixto and bgstick18. It was actually harder than I thought because I get a little confused while performing the jelq - to go slow up the shaft and to start with my other hand while at about mid-shaft but my other hand is holding the glans so I try to get it to the base fast while continuing the rep with the first hand but I've moved a bit of the skin of my sac up and I have to pull it back with the returning hand, I have to watch for the grip to be light and when I reach the glans to harden it a little and so on... Thinking of all the stuff I have to do while doing it gets me a little dizzy, but I'll master it. It may take a few more session but I'll master the technique!

Today I woke up kinda sick (probably from the suspicious eggs I ate for dinner) and I slept only 6 hours... again... No wood in the morning :/ I blame the lack of wood mostly to the fact that I'm in some shitty depression now (of course a girl is involved...) and all day I feel like crap, for some time now I've lost interest in almost all things I like and do, hopefully I'll get better soon. The other causes for my woodless day are the fact that I was a little sick and hadn't slept for more than 7 hours in 10 days, but this usually doesn't stop my boners. Also I'm a bit worried that I always edge with porn and I think this is the biggest problem I have to fix before I make some more serous damage, today I edged with porn because in way too shitty mood to use my imagination - always some fucked up thought come up and make me feel like crap, which isn't very helpful when I try to get a boner...

So basically the main areas of focus this week will be to fix my feeling-like-crapness, to work on my jelq technique - find the optimal grip and improve the form, start edging without porn.

Earlier today I remeasured to verify the BPEL of 15.3cm from yesterday. After the workout I tried to measure BPFSL - it was 15.9cm, but I couldn't grip well, cause I had some baby oil on the cock.

EDIT: Almost forgot to do the kegels... I'm really out of space today.. So I just did 5x20 kegels.
Also earlier today I did 15 JAIs in the shower.

 

[gosh]

14.03.2010

Routine today:
15 min warm up, 20 JAIs while warming with the shower.
Stretches: 10 sec D w/ right hand, 10 sec down w/ left hand. Helis. R w/ 25 kegels + a quick count to 5, 10 circulars in each direction, helis. L - same as R. U - same as R but the count was to 10. SO - same as U.
50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 50 jelqs, 30 v-jelqs, 20 jelqs - done at 50-25%
Took a shower and did 20 JAIs at the end.
After about an hour edged - didn't go well, couldn't get very aroused using my imagination - I get really distracted due to some stuff that's going on now. Use some porn for the first 3 minutes then turned it off and continued on imagination, got pretty intense and carried away and after about 7 minutes I missed the point to stop with a kegel and had to squeeze the PC muscle really hard, managed to stop the stream but when I relaxed it seems that it was too soon and came a little and kinda lost interest although I could have continued but my erection went down and decided to just stop.

Still need to work on the jelq, it's harder than I thought to get a really good form. The grip was a bit harder than yesterday but lighter than the one used before.

During the day I did about 7 JAIs (did them once after peeing).
Right now I'm doing some kegels - will do 5x20.

Couldn't sleep again, only 6 hours this night.. again... Felt like crap when I woke up - some fucked up thought where flooding my head - but I think I'm gradually improving my mental state. At least I had some wood this morning, no random wood throughout the day though. Today I watched "The Secret" (thanks tenacious_d for bringing it up) - made me remember some things I had forgotten and helped me realize a few things I was missing. Great movie, I'll watch it again soon to make sure I don't forget the important stuff.

Measured BPFSL after the workout when was relaxed and soft - was around 16.2cm - this seems good, hopefully this week I'll see another .2-.3cm gains
Also measured BPEL while edging - it was about 15.5cm - not much change there, as I hit 15.4 last week while edging.
I should probably stop measuring so often, but I just can't resist it.

 

[gosh]

15.03.2010

Light stretches only day.
I just did some light stretching in the shower: 10 JAIs, 15 sec D, 15 sec (with 10 quick kegels and a quick count to 5) R, L, U, SO, 5 circles in each direction, 10 more JAIs.

Nothing else during the day. Just a few shakes here and there to keep blood moving.

Bad sleep again. Hope to get this fixed soon, because I'm starting to get tired. Had morning wood today and I had one random erection during the day, of course at a most uncomfortable moment, but I'm still not very big so I can hide it easily
Flaccid was ok, just some turtling in the morning when I was going out for work.

I added L-carnitine to my supplements as part of my fat burning effort. Tomorrow I'll be resuming the weight training.

No problem bro
I wish I had my own house but I'm still here with my parents. But yes gym here at the house is amazing except for when you want to target specific muscles. I unfortunately can't target individual ones like I could as if I was at an actual gym.
Pullups are my sh*t dude I freaking love it.
Personally I go high reps with moderate weight because I don't really care about strength now that I'm out of football seriously. I just want to get shredded, and I'm on my way there just have to be consistent. (Stupid lack of time)
