Evening Session - 8/01

Notes: Haven't been maintaining my log on a regular basis over the last week, but I've been maintaining my routines and it's going well. Generally I do a standard dry pump session at night, then hanging and pumping in the morning. Hanging at about 2 lbs - still taking it very slow - and it's going well. Keeping the Vacutech pump to no more than an hour (generally 30 minutes) and the LJ in the morning at about 1.5 hours with some occasional BathMate time. Pulse pumping, milking, and keeping the cylinder really heated have helped with packing.

Total Session Length: @1:20

Warmup
15 min heat pad

Exercises
5 min jelqing
1 hr pumping

Warmdown
helicopter/rumble shakes, stomach slaps, lotion massage

Morning Session - 8/02

Notes: Continuing with my most recent routine of hanging, then pumping. Working out well so far. Hopefully my schedule can stay as such so I can at least hang a bit in the mornings as I would really like to increase weight/time on a condistent basis. But until then, I'll hang right at 2 lbs.
Pumping right afterwards feels great. The stretch from the weights, then the pull from the vacuum feels really good and provides a nice hang.
Decided to leave the BathMate alone this morning and finish with my usual warm down.

Total Session Length: @ 1:45

Warmup
15 min heating pad

Exercises
Hanging: 2 lbs -1set / 20 min
5 min light jelq
LJ - 1 hr

Warmdown
stomach slaps, lotion massage

Evening Session - 8/02

Notes: More of the standard routine. Used a lot of heat tonight both during and after my jelqing routine and when wrapping the tube while pumping. Got some really good expansion from it. Was REALLY tempted to go longer but saw the signs of edema trying to form so held off. I'll continue in the morning with some VacuTech before I go into my LJ routine.

Using leather straps now instead of the silicone rings (a lot easier to get on and off now ) and they are working out really well. Able to maintain post pump for quite a while afterwards.

Evening Session - 8/03

Notes: Missed loggin my session this morning but it was more of the same of my morning routine: hang, jelq, pump.

Tonight I decided to explore the hanging a bit more and added a another set. Results were good - I am stating to really feel the fatigue I've read so much about. My cock is sore, but it's a good sore - nothing painful about it and my erections are very strong. The pumping afterwards really helped extend the fatigued feeling and combined with the low level pressure, I'm already noticing a much longer hang. I know it's a temp thing right now, but it looks promising. Continuing on a schedule/routine like this and as I gradually increase my hanging weight/session times, I should start to show some very noticeable length gains (I'm going to give it at least 3 to 4 months).

Total Session Length: @ 2:20

Warmup
15 min heat pad

Exercises
2x 20 minute sets - 2 lbs (rested for about 10 min between sets with stomach slaps, shakes and light massage)

Morning Session - 8/04

Notes: Woke up a bit later than I wanted so I wasn't able to get in more than just a single set for hanging but it went well. About halfway thru the set, the feeling of fatigue from last night crept in and, strangely, it felt really, really good. After my set, it took a few minutes for my cock to "relax" in the tube but after a while, I was able to give it a bit more pressure and I could really feel the expansion/stretch. I wrapped the tube with my heating pad and it helped to further relax the tissues. Overall a great session.

Evening Session - 8/07

Notes: Added another set of hang time to the session tonight to stat the week. During break time, I massaged my cock pretty vigorously to ensure good bloodflow and during the last break, I wrapped up in the heating pad to help keep the stretch.
Once hanging was done, I wanted to make sure the stretch stayed as long as possible so I spent a good 15 min in the Vacutech (I pulse pumped pretty intensely for the first 5 minutes, then settled into a normal pump and hold for the last 10), then finished off with some combo ball pumping in the LJ (again, pulsed for first 5, then after getting a really good seal, I set it and let it go).
I strapped up with my leather afterwards and enjoyed my post pump hang quite a bit. Since my gf is working a wacky schedule this week - and barring any wacky issues with my schedule, I should be able to get in several good sessions this week.

Total Session Length: @ 3:20

Warmup
15 min heat pad

Exercises
3x 20 min @ 2 lbs. (5 min breaks between sets)

Morning Session - 8/09

Notes: Another "relatively" light morning session. No hanging this morning since that will be a focal point this evening. This morning, I broke out my Jelq device and got a real solid workout with that thing for about 5 minutes. I have to admit - those canning tongs give my cock a really good workout.

(If any of you guys want to get your own, check it out at Organize.com - do a search for "Canning Jar Lifter" - needs no modifications and you can use it right from the package - after you clean it, of course)

After the jelq routine, I pumped with the Vacutech for about 20 minutes right at 5 Hg. Overall a good session. Tonight, I plan on working the hanging angle with some LJ.

Total Session Length: @ 0:45

Warmup
20 min heating pad

5 min jelq (device)
20 min VacuTech

Warmdown

Morning Session - 8/10

Notes: Standard hanging routine. Really all I wanted to do since Implan on having a more intense session this evening. But since I didn't get to hang yesterday, I wanted to make sure I got in the reps today. I think it may be time to up the weight next week. Also looking at getting an actual hanging device, like a Bib. While my LengthMaster does provide hanging capabilities with the attachments and has been ok so far, I'm a believer in the theory that you get the best results using the best/proper equipment.

Total Session Length: @ 1:30

Warmup
20 min heat pad

Exercises
3x 20 minute sets - 2 lbs with 5 min break (heat pad)

Evening Session - 8/14

Notes: Getting back into the groove and went the "all-device" route. After my warmup, I did about 15 min of jelqing with my jelq device. I've found that it's much easier to maintain a certain erection level when using the device vice using my hands - I tend to get harder much faster using my hands. By using the device, I was able to get in some really good squeeze-stretches. While my count may be a bit lower than manual due to the mechanics involved but the results are just as good, if not better.
After that, I slid into the cylinder for some pump time. Pulsed for about 10 minutes and let it set for the remaining time, then finished off with some light jelqing with the device.

Total Session Length: @ 0:50

Morning Session - 8/18

Notes: A few days with some gaps in the log but I've been still been getting in proper sessions. They've been mainly confined to just BathMate time, but the sessions have gone well.

This morning's was more of a "standard routine" for me - light stretching, jelqs and pumping. I am REALLY liking the jelq deice (canning tongs) more and more and am getting to the point where I can almost get in the fast jelqs like I do manually. I gets me extremely plump before my pump sessions and really helps get my cock in condition to create a good seal almost immediately after entering the cylinder (I also think it may be time to upgrade in cylinder size).

For this pump session, I opted not to do any pulsing and just go for milking and set. It's been a while since I've gotten in a really good LJ session but my balls responded well and plumped up pretty quickly and without much pressure. I take these as all good signs of settling gains.

I will get back into my light hanging routine tomorrow and into next week.

Total Session Length: @ 1:30

Warmup
15 min heat pad

Exercises
15 min jelq (device)
15 min VacuTech
45 min LJ

Morning Session - 8/25

Notes: Been slacking on the log entries lately but I'm still maintaining sessions. Lately the schedule has been pretty hectic so I've only been able to get in daily BathMate sessions. Twice a day, 20 min per session. Still going strong though and maintaining the gains.

 

[somebodyelse]

so between the bathmate and your other pump [vacutek?], which do you prefer

 

[GTO]

If you held my feet to the fire and forced me to choose, it'd be the VacuTech - simply because it's more versatile than the BathMate.

Now with that being said, I really like them both since they tackle different needs. I can always use the BM and multi-task in the shower while I get ready for work - esp. when I'm pressed on time or just have a lot going on (or when my GF is over and privacy is scarce). Being able to get in a good session everyday is great. I can do lots of different exercises and routines with the BM, but for every one with the BM, i can do three more with VT. Plus, even though it can be used dry, you really need water for the BM to be effective.
