Quick Navigation
1) Pre-Session Checks
Checklist
- No open wounds, rash, or irritation

Note: This guide is educational and not a substitute for medical care.
2) Warm-up & Intensity Control
Warm-up (3–5 min)
- Warm towel or shower (2–3 min)
- Light massage (1–2 min)
- Train at flaccid to mild plump state
Intensity
- RPE 2–3/10 for stretches/jelqs
- Low pressure for pumps
- Increase time, not force
Tip: Time and consistency create gains—force causes setbacks.
3) During the Session
Technique Hygiene
- Relax shoulders and wrists
- Never roll over glans during jelq
- Grip behind glans for stretches
Micro-Breaks
- Rest 10–20 s every 30–40 jelqs
- Shake out hands, slow breathing
4) Post-Session Care
Warm-down (3–5 min)
- Gentle heat 2–3 min + light massage
- Reverse-Kegel breathing (6–8 cycles)
Swelling (Edema)
- Elevate briefly, soft wrap (light)
- Cool pack 2–3 min (wrapped)
- Reduce next volume by 30–40% if persists
Severe pain or discoloration are not minor—see Red Flags.
5) Recovery & Deloads
Morning Sensitivity Scale
| Score | Feeling | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2 | Normal | Train as planned |
| 3–4 | Mild awareness | Keep volume |
| 5–6 | Tender | Reduce 30% |
| 7+ | Discomfort | Rest 48–72 h |
6) Red Flags
Stop immediately if sharp pain, numbness, coldness, discoloration, blistering, or loss of sensation occurs. Rest and consult a clinician if symptoms persist.
7) Safe Session Templates
