Question: “I’m skeptical of exercising my penis, so I’m in no rush. Can I start out with a lighter routine than the Basic Beginner’s Routine?”
Yes. There is no set limit on how much—or how little—you exercise. In fact, several men report that they couldn’t gain with the basic routine, but when they later switched to a lighter routine they had great results. That’s because in the beginning often just a few minutes of performing penis exercises, if done consistently, will encourage growth. Moreover, for some men, the Basic Beginner’s Routine is simply too intense.
In this chapter, you will find two other popular beginner routines. Both routines last longer than the traditional five weeks of the Basic Beginner’s Routine. Both are also lighter than the Basic Beginner’s Routine, so they might be too light for your penis to grow. On the other hand, you may gain even more with one of these routines. It all depends on how “fit” your penis is, your genetics, and other factors.
The Basic Beginner’s Routine – 5 Weeks
Three days a week, do the following:
The main workout:
Ø 10 minute warm up
Ø 5 minutes of basic stretching
Ø 10 minutes of jelqing
Anytime throughout the workout day:
Ø 20 to 60 JAI stretches
Ø 3 sets of 20 kegels (roughly 1 minute of kegeling)
Everyday:
Ø Do the kegel start/stop every time you use the restroom
Increase the intensity:
Over five weeks, steadily increase to twenty minutes of jelqing and ten minutes of basic stretching. This is just a suggested guideline, and it’s okay if you don’t reach this goal. The important thing is that you have healthy body clues and you are gaining.
Add more kegels:
Over five weeks, increase to at least three minutes and no more than five minutes of kegeling per workout. Also, do ten kegel slams once your pelvic floor muscles are strong enough.
When to exercise:
During week 1, take at least two days off between workouts. By week 2, move up to exercising every other day as long as you feel comfortable doing so. By week 3, you can move up to exercising four days a week as long as you have healthy body clues.
Alternative Routine 1: The Progressive Routine
The Progressive Routine starts light and progressively works its way up. This routine is useful for becoming familiar with performing penis exercises and at the same time making gains with less effort.
Key Points of the Progressive Routine
Ø Less work than the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
Ø Less chance of over-training or unwanted side effects occurring than with the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
Ø Can be performed quickly in the shower.
Ø A good starting point for men with weak erections or men who don’t use their penis frequently.
Ø Advance after eight weeks instead of five.
Ø Growth often doesn’t happen as rapidly as the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
Example Calendar for Progressive Routine
After eight weeks, move onto Part V and gradually incorporate some advanced exercises into the mix.
Alternative Routine 2: The Least Work/Max Gain Routine
The Least Work/Max Gain Routine is best if your time is limited, or if you plan on spending as little time as possible performing penis exercises. The routine was created by a man who uses the online alias Babbis.
In a nutshell, with this routine you perform penis exercises six total days, take a month off, and then repeat. The reason behind the break is simple. Fairly quickly, your penis becomes “conditioned” to the exercises. By taking a break, you’re “deconditioning” your penis, and keeping it ready to grow (you’ll learn more about conditioning, deconditioning, and breaks in Part V). Numerous penis exercisers report that this light routine makes it easier to stay motivated. Moreover, several beginners find that they gain just as much, in the beginning when using a routine similar to the Least Work/Max Gain Routine.
Key Points of the Least Work/Max Gain Routine
Ø Maximum amount of growth with least amount of work.
Ø Less chance of over-training than if were to follow a more intense routine.
Ø Most men who gain with this routine typically notice results within the first two or three workouts. So if you try this routine, you’ll know fairly quickly if it’s right for you or not. And if it’s not, you can easily switch to the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
Ø Lasts at least eight weeks, and possibly more.
Ø Isn’t as consistent as the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
Ø May not increase hardness as effective as the other routines, largely because of the break. You can counteract this by consistently sticking to a good kegel routine.
The Least Work/Max Gain Routine – 1 to 6 Months
Do the workout, and then rest for 2 days. Do this for a total of 6 workouts (18 total days). Thereafter, do light exercises for 1 week. Then take 1 month off. Continue to do kegels and JAI stretches according to the Basic Beginner’s Routine recommendation.
The main workout:
Ø 10 minute warm up
Ø 5 minutes of basic stretching
Ø 7 minutes of jelqing (roughly 150 jelqs)
After the 18 days - Cement, Break, and Repeat:
If you gained using the routine, move onto the 1 week of light exercising and then the break. If you didn’t gain, and you don’t have unhealthy body clues, proceed to the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
1 week of light exercising:
The day after your last main workout, do the following every day for seven days:
Ø 2.5 minutes of basic stretching (30 second holds in each direction)
Ø 2 minutes of jelqing (50 jelqs).
1-month break:
During the break, do not do any exercises that actually involve exercising your penis, such as the jelq. Continue to do kegels, and build up their intensity according to the Basic Beginner’s Routine.
Repeat:
After the break, repeat the routine as many times as you can gain while doing so. But each time around, add an extra five minutes of jelqing and an extra five minutes of stretching. After three cycles, or when the routine stops providing growth, proceed to Part V and incorporate advanced exercises into the mix.
Example Calendar for Least Work/Max Gain Routine
Measure after every second rest day. If you are still gaining after the sixth workout, continue to exercise every third day until the growth stops. Thereafter, continue to the one week of light exercises. The light exercises serve as a mini-cementing routine to make your gains more likely to be permanent (you’ll learn more about cementing and the permanency of gains in Part V).
