Thanks to you guys that have posted your journals and workout logs here. I have picked up several good techniques that I am integrating into my own sessions. I started about a month ago and have kept my own log. I am transferring everything over here and will maintain my log here going forward. I like the idea of individual messages for each day so that's how I will shape this log. Please feel free to comment and add suggestions where you see me going wrong, or things I am doing well and could do better!

If you read my forum intro post, you know that I've been a pumper off and on over the last 10 years or so - more off than on, though. Decided to finally get serious and get some real size gains this time and make them stick. I am using a VacuTech (they are the absolute BEST) flared 2x9 cylinder. I started my routine about a month ago doing the following:

4/4/10

10 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
30 min pump session maintaining 3hg

10 min warm down
4 min jelq
6 min warm towel and stretch

5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
30 min pump session maintaining 3hg

10 min warm down

Since I seemed to be settling in ok, I wanted to start increasing the pressure. I gave myself a break for a couple of days and gave a slight pressure increase:

4/8/10

10 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
30 min pump session - base pressure 3hg with MAX of 5hg

10 min warm down
4 min jelq
6 min warm towel and stretch

After giving myself a break over the weekend, I decided to go into the next week increasing my pump sessions up to 45 minutes. Wit this increase, I had to take more frequent breaks - roughly 2-3 minutes of massage for every 10 minutes in the tube:

4/11/10

10 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
45 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg
Released from tube every 10 minutes or so for a 2-3 min massage. I tried to keep my erection at 60-70% to aide in blood-flow.

10 min warm down
4 min jelq
6 min warm towel and stretch

2 min jelq

Pump Session
45 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg

Decided to come back over the weekend break and increase time. I am starting to see some gains at this point and the sessions are going really well. My flaccid length is noticeably longer and I'm feeling fuller. I haven't measured yet but if I had to guess, I would estimate that maybe 1/4" added to length and somewhere close to a 1/4" in girth. My primary objective at this point is girth (for reasons I will explain later) but not going to shy away from length increases! I am maintaining the routine but increasing pump time to 60 minutes. While I am taking less frequent breaks out of the tube, I am increasing the massage time to about 4 minutes. The hardest thing at this point is keeping my erection low (the massage feels REALLY good!)

4/19/10

10 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
60 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg
5 min massage per every 15 minutes
Maintain erection at 60-70% during massage

10 min warm down
4 min jelq
6 min warm towel and stretch

5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
60 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg

Sadly, was only able to get in one session this week. But the session I was able to get in was pretty productive. I am about 30% packed in the tube at this point:

4/28/10

10 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
3 min stretching
2 min jelq

Pump Session
60 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg
5 min massage per every 15 minutes
Maintain erection at 60-70% during massage

10 min warm down
4 min jelq
6 min warm towel and stretch

The long break actually helped in today's session. I could really feel a good stretch and I was able to achieve my pack (at @ 30%) much faster. I decided to change up the routine slightly and introduce more jelqing. I am finding more and more of this in my research. While I am maintaining my overall pump time, I am increasing my overall session time to integrate the increased jelq time:

5/2/10

15 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
5 min stretching
5 min jelq

Pump Session
60 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg
5 min massage per every 15 minutes - massage now includes about 1 minute of jelqing
Maintain erection at 60-70% during massage

15 min warm down
5-6 min jelq
6-8 min warm towel and stretch

5 min warm towel
5 min stretching
5 min jelq

Pump Session
60 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 5hg
5 min massage per every 15 minutes - massage now includes about 1 minute of jelqing
Maintain erection at 60-70% during massage

I am finding that my increases are lasting longer and longer. I generally pump at night and when I wake up, my gains are still pretty evident. I am hanging a bit fuller in flaccid state more regularly now.

Okay. Finally broke down to the pressure (pun intended) and cranking up the pressure - but just a bit. Decided to increase up to a base of 4hg with occasional increases up to 7hg and taking my pump time up to 90 minutes. I am being careful in watching my tube time and I think I will maintain 90 minutes for quite a while. My erection quality isn't decreasing and I want to keep it that way.

5/9/10

15 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
5 min stretching
5 min jelq

Pump Session
90 min pump session - base pressure 4hg MAX 7hg
5 min massage/jelq per every 15 minutes
Maintain erection at 60-70% during massage

15 min warm down
5-6 min jelq
6-8 min warm towel and stretch

Caught a hair-brained idea and decided to pump this morning as soon as I got out of bed. Only a small 30 min session:

5/10/10

10 min warm-up (warm towel and stretch)
30 min pump session - base 4hg MAX 7hg
Warm down was included in my morning shower - lots of soaped massaging and stretched

The difference was amazing. My gains stayed with me all day long. The feeling of my pumped hanging heavy and full all day was a very nice feeling and I had to fight off getting erections pretty much all day. In my constant state of semi-arousal, my balls were also stayed quite heavy and I had to do more "adjusting" in my pants than usual. My evening session was more of the standard routine:

15 min warm-up
5 min warm towel
5 min stretching
5 min jelq

Pump Session
90 min pump session - base pressure 4hg MAX 7hg
5 min massage/jelq per every 15 minutes
Maintain erection at 60-70% during massage

15 min warm down
5-6 min jelq
6-8 min warm towel and stretch

After my two-day'er a couple of days ago, I needed to give my guy a break. I wouldn't say I was sore, but it was a feeling I wasn't accustomed to and figured I needed a little break. I am considering going twice a day at least once a week - I really enjoyed the gains and the feeling of having that log swinging between my legs all day :)

I am toning it down for tonight's session an pulling back to 45 minutes:

5/13/10

5 min warm-up

5 min warm towel, stretch, jelq

Pump Session
45 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 3hg
5 min massage/jelq per every 15 minutes

5 min warm down
5 min jelq, warm towel and stretch

Back to work after a little layoff and well rested weekend. I figure I will finally measure at the end of the month to see exactly where I am. Having gotten back into PE, I am finding there's so much more out there than when I was introduced to it years ago. Came across this site (PEGym) that has a ton of info and I finally found out what all of these abbreviations I am seeing mean. I didn't know there were so many measurements to take! :)

Tonight's session was good but I got a bit over zealous and ended up with a slight donut. I packed up to 90% of the tube and didn't pay much attention to the pressure. I hit a MAX of 10hg - not good. I prefer donuts from Krispy Kreme, not on my cock :-[

5/18/10

15 min warm-up

15 min warm towel/stretch/jelq

Pump Session
90 min pump session - base pressure 3hg MAX 10hg
5 min massage/jelq per every 15 minutes

15 min warm down
15 min jelq/warm towel/stretch

Been doing a lot of research on ball pumping and want to integrate that into my routine. Took it a bit easy tonight to avoid the donut and had a very good session. I am looking to buy a two-stage cylinder. I'm not comfortable with weights although I do read a lot of guys are getting good results from them. We'll see. My main objective in ball pumping is length - I want to increase the hanging length by about 3-4 inches. I will deal with enlarging/engorging them later.

My pack didn't come quite as fast as it has in recent sessions - I wonder what I missed tonight ...
