One more then I'll move on. I keep seeing clickbait videos and articles likes this for literally years and they all basically say the same thing: it "could" work, no scientific evidence, very loose description of the exercises, usually just focuses on one exercise (Jelqs), even the description of Jelqing the "expert" got it partially wrong. You don't use one hand. You use both hands. Anyone who has done this -safely- and has seen results will tell you that.
There's always a big emphasis on the possibility of fucking yourself up doing it. There's never an emphasis on the results. If they even mention the results they always massively downplay it like "Oh, you'll get only a quarter of an inch, at best" which is also wrong because you can gain a lot more. The downsides they like to talk about could be applied to virtually any exercise. If you get on a machine or lift without warming up, pushing yourself too hard, doing it while your hurting, etc, you will fuck yourself up. Most infamously, Bruce Lee fucked up his back just from not doing a proper warmup before lifting. It comes down to just common sense. And all the experts who come out of the woodwork are wrong and -honest to god this is true for me- it is this reason why I doubt the media. It's why I doubted the COVID hysteria. The media and all these assholes are saying you cannot use exercises to achieve this and yet I know for a fact that they work and they're safe if you have more than a spinal cord for a brain.
