petrpan's progress thread

[jon.carrax]

What you do makes me feel I do nothing LOL. I'm just getting out of a two weeks break and I think I'm gonna start a little more intense, I need to have the perseverance and will you have had these three months.

Your gains have been good from my point of view, I would have expected you to gain a little bit more for what you've done but still they are good.

Do you think hanging is necessary to gain length?

Keep the good work and rest if you feel the need, I know it's hard but remember we can't do much if our penisesdon't feel good.

Hi jon.carrax,
well I have time so I take advantage of that. It will not last forever (me having "plenty" time to PE). I am happy with my gains. I hope I will be able to make some more in the future. Well if I were new to PE I would have probably made better gains, but I have already exhausted my newbie gains long time ago, so...
Hanging is beneficial for length gains but definitely not needed. Many people have gained length from stretching or just jelqing alone. The thing is, there are some people who haven't gained much from manuals. They either did something wrong or it is genetics... Anyway I will carry on with the rest for now, because I still feel the pain in my foreskin from time to time and because I think the break may actually help me grow more that non-stop PEing.

Btw I have re-measured today many times I was constantly hitting 17.7cm (6.97"), however my girth was rather 13.7cm (5.4"). As both values were measured consistently in multiple measurements I will use those for now as my current stats.

Still on my break until the end of this week. Then I will start again. So far I am actually enjoying it, but I am also looking forward to exercising again.
What I have noticed in the meantime is that I don't get as many spontaneous erections as when I was exercising. But apart from that flaccid still looks good. This is rather a note to myself.

 

[TeoDeles]

well done Petran.
I am also in my 1st day of 1 week break I am planing to take because my Pis are bad.
I remember when I took 1 week off and then started extending and jelqing again I gained 0,5cm.
I think these rest weeks one in every 2-3 months are vital for the gains.

 

[petrpan]

Hi TeoDeles,
If I will gain 3mm in the month following after my break I would be very happy. Though I think more realistic is 1-2mm, which would be still great. Yes I believe that longer rest periods are making gains more fast. My current break will be around 17 days long, but in the future I will do up to 60 days long breaks to kick start the gains again.

 

[petrpan]

I am back. I was supposed to start yesterday, but I really didn't have much time and privacy. I've done so far 30 mins of stretching today, but it's not even 1pm, so I am planning to go past an hour mark for today
For now my routine will be same as before I stopped - mainly stretching, followed by little bit of jelqing. I may start to do some more pumping just for fun, but we'll see about that. In the meantime I will look more into the extending theory and experience here on the forum.
I didn't measure at the end of my break, but I did measure BPEL once on the half way through when edging and was still at 17.7cm. After 3+ months I am not obsessed with measuring anymore, but will still measure regularly once a month for tracking purposes. Also I realized I won't have much time to exercise during Christmas holiday until new year, so I will be on some maintenance mode during that time.

EDIT: Hmm, my glans feels very irritated from the friction. I was barely able to complete 60 mins. Of which 20 mins was jelqing that doesn't irritate my glans so badly. I guess I will need to go more easy in the following days.

 

[petrpan]

After yesterday my glans and coronal ridge especially feel pretty sore from the friction. I didn't feel like I was doing anything else than usually, but I should have probably started easier after the break. I guess I will have to just jelq for a few days before I heal..
On the bright side I feel some good soreness inside my shaft from yesterday PE when I pull it today. I always consider that a good sign.

 

[petrpan]

So I've been failing to keep up with my plan last week and today. Priorities have shifted a bit more towards my work. But hey at least I managed to heal and I am hoping to find more time for PE since tomorrow. Anyway I don't think it's so bad to fail to stick a to a routine here and there (even if it's a week or two) as long as you always manage to get back on track afterwards.

 

[petrpan]

Complications everywhere (ill kids), but still managed to 45 mins yesterday and 40 today so far. Hoping to finish today with 60+ mins. My motivation is big.

 

[petrpan]

Hey guys, I'm still at it. Last week I was being lazy, but also had two small cracks in my coronal ridge, They were rather shallow and around 1-2mm long, but still a bit painful.
Mon - 0 min (of PE)
Tue - 60 min
Wed - 20 min
Thu - 10 min
Fri - 5 min

This week I finally feel my coronal ridge is healed again and I also had more time to focus on PE and did (mainly stretching and a bit of pumping before sleep)
Mon - 45 min
Tue - 90 min
Wed - 40 min
Thu - 35 min
Fri - 70 min (I will probably end up around 100 today)
I will still probably measure next weekend just to keep track even though I haven't trained much in my 4th month..

4 MONTHS UPDATE

Hey guys,

I am still alive. However right after my last post I had to stay in hospital with my daughter (with some inflamation (she is ok now)) for about three days where I didn't PE. On the day we were released I myself got ill and ended up on antibiotics. I was very sick, but feeling better now. Today is my first day of work after these 2+ weeks, so I am also getting back to PE.
1/1/2019
BPEL: 17.7cm (6.97")
MEG: Not measured

Total PE time last month: 6 hours and 50 minutes (410 minutes). I am counting PE done from 20/11/2018 - 31/12/2018.
For tracking purposes I measured my BPEL last night and even though I expected some losses, I was right at 17.7cm (6.97"). This is given I didn't take any supplements during this period, I was badly ill, ate lots of painkillers and I didn't exercise at all (not even bed fowfers). So I am happy. I would be even more happy to finally reach 7in by the end of this month. I believe it is doable.
I will measure from now on at the end of each month and my training months will from now on follow calendar months.

Glad you are back and both of you are doing better.

 

[petrpan]

Yeah, it was quite painful experience and I also became partially deaf in both ears, but luckily that lasted only like a week and it's getting all back to normal.
Yesterday I managed to do 20 mins of stretching and 15 mins of pumping.
I did one experiment yesterday. I decided to measure my BPEL after pumping to see if it still gives me some temp length gains and it does. I was measuring 18.05 cm (I know... but it was not 18 nor 18.1) that is 7.1". This gave me confidence that air pumping is not a waste of time. (EDIT: unless the temporary gain was due to increased glans size)

 

[closed291]

PP,

If you ever get into a situation where you have rest days, you can always do a kegel program to help with the fitness of your penis. Be careful not to over do them though.

 

[petrpan]

Managed to finish yesterday with 100 mins of PE including 10 mins of pumping.
Today I have done so far 70 mins of manuals. Hopefully I will have some time before sleep to do some pumping. Weekend = rest days.

EDIT: I would like to set some goals for 2019. I thought about it for quite some time already. It's always good for your motivation to have goals.
I would like to achieve +0.1" BPEL in Q1, +0.1" BPEL in Q2 and +0.1" BPEL in the rest of the year. Regarding MEG I would be happy with +0.1 in 2019.

 

[petrpan]

Finished Friday with 100 mins including some pumping at night. Had sex on Saturday, today my glans feels kind of sore, so I will do just some light training today.

EDIT: forgot to mention that I had an urge to measure myself on Sunday (yesterday), but in the end I realized how stupid idea that was and easily discarded it.
Note to myself and others: Don't do it. Don't measure besides regular measurements. You are risking losing or lowering your motivation. When there is a growth of 1mm in month or two it makes no sense to measure weekly.

 

[petrpan]

Everyday is a new day... And every day starts with 0 minutes of PE done..
Anyway, I managed to do 50 mins of manuals on Monday. I would have pumped at night, but my foreskin felt slightly swollen so I dismissed that.
on Tuesday I managed to do 60 mins of manuals and 30 min set of vac hanging with 5.5 lbs. Originally I wanted to pump as I was feeling lazy, but during the day I decided to go for more hanging this month to see how it goes. The hanging surprisingly very comfortable and no edema in my glans or foreskin afterwards - I think it has something to do with proper taping my glans with micropore tape. I think tonight for the last 5 mins of hanging I will switch to 6.6 lbs (0.5 kg increment).
So the main message of today is: I am back to hanging! But it will be rather supplementing my manual efforts (due to time constraints).

 

[petrpan]

I managed to add another 130 mins of PE on Wednesday (including 40 mins of hanging) and 120 mins of PE on Thursday (including 40 mins of hanging).In both cases I hanged 5.5 lbs for the first 20 mins and switched to 6.6 lbs for the rest.
I will aim for 100+ minutes today again. Glad pegym si back on.

Oh, I want to mention that in last days my penis feels fuller when flaccid. It feels really good in my hand.
I've also pretty much given up on masturbation and come only during sex.

I am also considering measuring myself on Sunday (n my second rest day in row). Not that I have a need this time. Rather to have better overview of what is happening. I have read people gaining pretty fast right after getting back from breaks (right after first week).
To understand better why I want to do this I will need to explain. People who have read my posts will already know I am a guy who believes in regular breaks.
Lately I am thinking of taking a month or two after every two or three months of PE. Obviously it will depends on my future gains. If I will be gaining constantly (don't think so) I will carry on, if it will be possible, but if my gains stop soon. I will try to incorporate bigger and frequent breaks into my routine.
I am no looking for fast gains, I am looking for good, steady gains without a little frustration as possible.

Also I read one person's log today who stopped measuring and measured himself only after a year since some particular date. He made a very little progress and was pretty annoyed he did make measurements more often to understand what brought him the gains. He basically was not able to optimize/calibrate during the process. I want to avoid this at all costs. Don't get me wrong, this is not an excuse for me to measure myself more often. I will try to do it only at times I will be convinced it is beneficial for me.

 

[petrpan]

So... I didn't measure. I thought about it for some time and changed my mind as I don't expect my penis to miraculously grow in one and half week. Instead I will stick to the original plan to measure at the end of month. Last Friday I managed to do 109 mins of manuals during the day (I skipped hanging at night due to lack of sleep (I will skip it also today for the same reason). This means I managed to do 499 mins in total last week. That is 100 mins on avg on each training day.
If I don't gain from this I don't know from what I will. This is around maximum time I can commit to PE. And I am not willing to sacrifice my sleep as I feel that could be rather counterproductive.
Note: What I noticed lately I am reaching up to 18.2cm (7.165") in my air pump at 5hg. I think this was not the case before.I believe I always used to be rather 17+cm in the pump.

EDIT: Hm, after reading through PESG's success thread I think I will do what I intended to do already but I think I never did it in the end. I will PE only 4 days a week (leaving out weekends and Wednesdays) instead of 5on 2off.

And I am not willing to sacrifice my sleep as I feel that could be rather counterproductive.

I whole-heartedly agree...Just like bodybuilding, you only grow when resting and sleep is essential. Good call, PP!
