Now that you are exercising your penis, let’s dig up those all-important principles form the Circle of Gains—obtain adequate rest, increase the intensity, and pay attention to your body clues—and demonstrate how easily they fit into your routine. To do this, here’s a profile of a typical penis exerciser. Let’s call him Billy.
Scenario 1
Billy starts off using the Basic Beginner’s Routine. He makes sure to get at least two days of rest between workouts. After one week, Billy notices stronger erections and more erections throughout the night—two healthy body clues. Billy continues with the routine. After two more days, Billy’s erections are still harder and more frequent. On top of that, he measures a gain of .125 inches in both length and girth.
Billy knows he is on the right track because he is experiencing all healthy body clues along with the best clue of them all—growth. At this point, Billy can go in two directions. He can either continue with his current routine until the growth stops, or he can gradually increase the intensity in an effort to keep growth coming in steady.
Billy decides to gradually add more time to his workout. Over the next two weeks he adds an additional minute of jelqing to each workout day. By the end of the second week, he is jelqing for an extra six minutes. He is also exercising every other day. Billy’s routine looks like this:
This goes well for Billy, as he gains another .125” length. Keep in mind that Billy didn’t just add six minutes to his jelqing routine. He added one minute of jelqing to every workout day. This gradual build up—opposed to a giant leap—is what separates growth from over-training.
The End of Week 3:
Ø 10 minute warm up
Ø 5 minutes of basic stretching
Ø 16 minutes of jelqing
Scenario 2
After four weeks, Billy is performing penis exercises four days a week. He still makes an effort to get at least one day of rest between most of his workouts. His kegels are also up to three minutes each workout day. To make things easy, he breaks the kegeling sessions into three, one minute sessions. He does one minute in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.
Everything is going well for Billy. He has made continual gains and has yet to experience an unhealthy body clue. In light of his success, Billy believes his penis can handle much more than he is giving it. So, in an effort to speed up the growth, Billy decides to add ten extra minutes of jelqing and ten extra minutes of stretching. His routine now looks like this:
After a week, Billy starts noticing negative changes. Billy experiences numbness after his workouts, weaker erections, and a smaller flaccid penis—three unhealthy body clues. And he hasn’t gained.
The unhealthy body clues indicate that Billy is most likely over-training By rapidly upping his workout, Billy went well over his “max.” Although performing penis exercises forty minutes per workout after four weeks is okay for a few men, it’s clearly too much for Billy.
Everybody is different, and this is why the body clues are the most important aspect of performing penis exercises—they guide your routine. In this case, Billy’s body clues are telling him to hit the brakes, slow down, and take a step back.
The Beginning of Week 5:
Ø 10 minute warm up
Ø 15 minutes of basic stretching
Ø 26 minutes of jelqing
Week 6:
Ø 10 minute warm up
Ø 5 minutes of basic stretching
Ø 16 minutes of jelqing
Scenario 3
To recuperate from his over-training, Billy makes it an effort to give his penis rest. He wisely waits for his erections to return to normal before jumping back into the swing of things. When Billy returns, he goes back to the last routine in which he was experiencing healthy body clues. Going back to the last routine where things were good and healthy is often the best place to restart when things go bad. Billy is back to using this routine:
Billy’s initial five weeks are complete, so he can technically (but definitely shouldn’t) advance past the beginner routine and use some advance exercises. But Billy knows that he’s not ready just yet. He just got over a big set-back. For this reason, Billy continues to use the same routine for the next few workouts.
Fairly quickly, Billy starts to experience healthy body clues again. He isn’t gaining though, so he decides to increase the intensity. Over the next two weeks, he finishes the Basic Beginner’s Routine recommendations, and his routine now looks like this:
This works well for Billy, as he gains .25” in length and .125” in girth. Now that Billy is ready to move up—which is evident by his healthy body clues—he proceeds to the Basic Advancing Routine (outlined in Part V).
Week 8:
Ø 10 minute warm up
Ø 10 minutes of basic stretching
Ø 20 minutes of jelqing
Adding it Up
On the surface, it might seem as if Billy wasn’t gaining much—just a little bit here and there. But these small gains add up. Over the long haul, Billy gained half an inch in length and a quarter an inch in girth. For an average-sized penis, this is roughly a 15 percent increase in volume. In practice, this is how performing penis exercises works. You gain in small increments, and overtime those increments convert to extra inches on the ruler.
