Believe In Your Gains!

Big Al · 03-04-2009, 08:34 PM

It seems that there are some guys that get involved in PE that are not satisfied with their gains or don't make any at all. Why does that happen? It's not that PE exercises don't work (they do), nor is it that these particular men are somehow immune to the effects of PE exercises (Davis' Law applies to everyone). Most of the time it's due to a lack of motivation that's tied to a lack of belief in the PE process or themselves.

What about all of those men that make great gains? Is there something that makes them special? It's possible that body composition and health are responsible to some degree, but a bigger factor is that these gentlemen put in the time to learn about PE and stuck to their routines. Even when they came across plateaus they assessed what the problem was, fixed it, and went on to get the job done. These men believed that they could gain, so they did all of the things necessary for them to succeed. If they didn't they would have made tons of excuses and eventually given up.

What's the key to achieving your PE goals? More important than genetics, time availability, or intelligence is the ability to set a goal and to stick to it. This concept applies to anything of importance that you hope to accomplish.

Set your goal and dedicate yourself to sticking to it! Visualize your goals: Picture yourself with the penis of your dreams hanging between your legs. Don't worry about the details right now- PE routines and help exists if you need it. Once you have an idea of what you want to accomplish in mind, things will start to fall into place for you.

No one can promise you the size that you want instantly, but a few weeks of PE (done right) will give you noticeable improvements in stamina and hardness, with real measureable size gains usually just around the corner.

Stick with it, and you just may get the penis of your dreams. Believe in yourself and you'll be surprised at what you can accomplish!

Great timing for this post, Big Al. I'm at a bit of a plateau right now, and although I still fully believe I'm gonna achieve my personal goal, it's good to get some encouragement when you feel like your gains have taken the same route as Wall Street.

I started a little break from PE yesterday and I'm looking fwd to get back on the train with a fully rested manhammer in a couple of days.

Glad to be of help :)

BigAl, excellent post brother. It's called the power of positive thinking. I visualize myself with an 8" pole that's powerful and very capable of beating my girl into submission. That being said, I totally believe in the power of PE and in the power of positivity when performing each and every routine.

Again, excellent post sir.

Hate to burst your bubble but 8" starts to look puny after a while. Be happy with the huge shlong you have.

I've a question with regards to this mental visioning thing. Mental power calls for the practitioner to mentally visualize the perfect penis of his dreams. So, say, someone might, for example, conjure up in his thoughts a 10-foot penis with bulky veins, tiny riblets running all over the shaft & a monster knobhead of a glans. This, you could say, might be the norm. But what would happen, say, if you was to visualize your dik as when in its erect state it would fill up the entire Universe! Overload, you know? How would this play out as far as its mental effectiveness, I wonder? And - it doesn't have to be the Universe - what if you visualize it as filling up a room? See what I'm getting at? This way, if you fall short - which of course you will - you'd still accrue a monstrously big dik. Or would you?

W.M.P. · 03-05-2009, 04:30 AM

WEF:

I've seen this very "extreme" form of visualization discussed in body-building and other stuff I can't recall right now. However, the point was more about imagining these outlandish, surreal levels of growth as a way of just expanding your mind's threshold in terms of intense visualization more than anything else. I think visualization is a tremendous tool for improving in any area we choose, whether it is PE, fitness, academics, etc. I did a lot of visualization for school (imagining myself in a zen-like calm while taking a tough test) and it made quite an unbelievable difference. Right now I'm trying to visualize my dick recovering real quick and good during this week-long break so that I can come back full force.

Some guys do have a problem with reality, we can't all be great long distant runners or Mr Universe, these guys are pretty much freaks in my book. We all have our limitations whether it be physically or mentally, this is the area each one of us needs to be aware of when visualizing what we want and what we can truly have.

Great post Big Al, as I have said before, the exercises are the easiest part of PE. Getting our head wrapped around the idea of PE and what makes it work for each individual and then sticking with it no matter what is the tough part.

The world, with it's massive diversity. Which is what makes Life so tantalizingly interesting. Is forged by the Freaks, that dare to show the courage of a beat of a different drum. Whether it is in the Science, Nature, or Existence of that humanity. This is our driving force; this is discovery.

Time and perception, proves all things.

This is so true. Ironically, the biggest challenges that visionaries usually face doesn't come from the new ground that they're trying to break, but from the resistance and criticism from their more moderate minded peers.

It takes a lot to have to deal with these challenges, but if weren't for the innovation of these "freaks", humans would still be grubbing for food with sticks in a savanna somewhere instead of building civilizations and venturing beyond the Earth.

There is no reason for this post other than to get "making a girl squirt" off the opening board.I just got tired of seeing it! Little silly wasn't it? That one was almost as bad as " training a dog for sex". Hey I know there are alot of ugly girls out there but even though they're ugly they may be great in the sack! didn't you guys ever hear that old song" if you want to be happy for the rest of your life never make a pretty woman your wife?"

You haven't seen the movie Johnny Lingo, it's about an islander that pays 8 cows for the ugliest woman on the island. Yet, after a time, an islander goes to their residence to deliver a gift that was ordered from a merchant. The errand boy was amazed by how beautiful the ugly Lady was. He couldn't believe his eyes. The ugly Ladies husband had just shown her how beautiful she really was, instead of the whole island constantly demeaning her. It's an old flick from the '60s.

Too true, Big Al. I find it's the same attitude with body building, you will see the changes if you mentally make them happen.

Can I ask about reverse kegals? is the exercise meant to feel like you're taking a dump? I don't quite understand them.. And would they aid in stamina/premature ejaculation?

A reverse kegel would simulate forced urinating. They aid in improving the fitness of muscles associated with expelling semen (and urine), so they're effective for "shooting loads farther".

piranha_banana · 07-07-2011, 03:09 PM

Ah, okay. My loads shoot really far haha, have no problem with that. I had a couple other questions: Are my gains permanent, Will I lose size? Also how long should I be on the newbie routine for?

Not if you practice "cementing" and perform at least a maintenance level of stamina work. Stamina work is something that should be done to maintain optimal sexual fitness regardless of size goals.

The beginner routine I recommend is 6 weeks long.

Ahhh bummer, I need to be premium to view that thread :(

Thanks for the advice, what routine should I start after the 6 week period?

There's advanced courses in the Premium section as well. if you need free routines, you'll find a good beginner's routine outlined here and advanced advice here.

piranha_banana · 07-09-2011, 08:02 AM

Awesome, I think I'll do a month premium membership, so I'm at least contributing for your help :) I have one last question: as I come to the end of the newbie routine, should I start adding in exercises, or have rotating exercises on different days? I'm just not sure as to how I should adjust my routines to make better gains.

No- the beginner routine is fairly static- most of the increases [once you get to the maximum rep counts] will be in training frequency. The beginner routine is designed mainly to become familiar with the concept of penile exercises and to strengthen the penis, and to produce optimal penile fitness- which is almost always necessary for new trainees. The advanced routines offer more clear cut exercises targeted towards specific goals.

piranha_banana · 07-12-2011, 08:28 AM

Awesome, I'll try premium for a month. Ah okay, I think the way I was looking at it was like a bodybuilding routine ie: rotatin exercises to target multiple areas. Should I just be sticking to either a girth or length routine? Not combine them?

Unless you're interested in isolating one specific target, I recommend that your workouts include:

Warm ups > Girth work > Length work > Stamina work > Warm downs

piranha_banana · 07-19-2011, 07:54 AM

Big Al, Is there a way I can pay with paypal? I don't have a visa or amex to use..

Ok, well the routine I've devised now is a 10 minute warm up, 150-200 jelqs, then 20-30 clamp & squeezing exercises. Will this help me see girth and length gains?

A few things- the reps should be done with regular increases each session to force progress.

What are you doing for length?

What about your stamina work?

Sorry Big Al, I've been away in NZ.

So I should be increasing the amount of jelqs and squeezes? My sessions usually take an hour and a half haha

Although I've not been as disciplined as i'd like to have been, I've already made gains, and will update my progress..

I assumed that 200 jelqs as well as stretching would see length gains? Is there more I can be doing?
I'm hoping I'll see more girth gains with the squeezes too.

As for stamina, I've been working on kegals, reverse kegals and edging when I can too.

One and 1/2 hours is a very long time for a manual session- even for advanced trainees. Can you give a more detailed breakdown of what you're doing?

Absolutely, I start off with about a 10-15 minute warm up with a hot towel and I do my kegal stretches.
then I do about 200 jelqs in 4 sets of 50 reps. This usually takes the most time as I like my jelqs to be slow.
Inbetween each 50 reps, I do about 30 V jelqs and stretch it out before the next set.
After I've done my jelqs, I do about 10 squeezes to target the head, and then 10 more squeezes to target shaft girth. Then I warm down.
I was in a rush last night and so I think my session took just over an hour.

If you're able to do that kind of routine AND you're making gains, then you have some great stamina :)

If you haven't already done so, you might want to look at training on the other end of the spectrum- brief duration but high intensity (force). This type of training isn't as "pleasant", but it does cut down on your training time and [usually] produces quicker results.

There are quite a few in the Premium section, but you can also search the Progress Tracking forum to see what other members have been doing.

piranha_banana · 08-10-2011, 10:55 AM

Sweeeeet, still going to do a month of premium when I recover some money haha. Yeah i've been reading some progress.. It's a shame that so many promising members have dissapeared. I'm starting to plateau in terms of gains, I'm looking to shake up my routine.
