Jelqing at lower erection levels i can fit my hand around but i was afraid of jelqing at too low a level and not experience any gains, i usually jelq at all different erection levels, everywhere from 30%-90% during session, varying it between these %'s each session. Again i can fit my hand around my shaft to midshaft when jelqing, but i would have to squeeze a little to hard to complete a jelq, and i am obviously trying to avoid injury like everyone else. I will tell you all one thing, since ive started taking vitamins(multi,fish oil,l-arginine-billberry-ginseng) i have gained tremendously compared to not taking them, taking all of them you see a big difference at 3 weeks from first starting them, or i did anyway, i would definitely recommend it to everyone. But im going to start jelqing at lower erection levels and focus more on length, seems like the way to go to me.
