Some Pumping Basics

[nappa]

That sounds like the best idea EVER, wow, a water trap eh? Yeah and you could EASILY put the Vacutech attachments on the tubing! I might have to do the same!! Rep points for the great idea.

YAY! my first rep point. Im gonna by that pump and see how it goes and report back.

Thats good to hear about a permanent gain with pumping! I have been pumping for a couple days now and added my own upgrade to the pump from an auto parts store. I originally had the bulb style pump and cut it off and added a automotive fluid transfer pump. I posted a video on youtube. "How to supercharge your penis pump for $11" I'm hoping I can have some permanent gains even 1/4 inch would be fantastic!! Congrats on your success! I have never got a length gain from pumping yet but ut sure increases girth 1" in only 30 uncomfortable minutes.

reason im considering the pump in the url above is because it comes with a water trap so that none actually gets to the pump. theres also the option of buying a plastic version instead of brass. figure i could reap the all the benefits of bathmate with the addition of more pressure by making my own wet pump. I intend to buy a vacutech 2" cylinder, but pair it with the pump in the URL in my last post

Just came across this post. Is it the reservoir that acts as a trap to prevent water entering the pump? If that's the solution, the Harbor Freight brake bleeder comes with a reservoir and is much less expensive.

This is what I use, on my pumping sessions, I first dry pump ( meaning pump up to 5-7mmhg with a heating pad wrapped around chamber) for 12 - 15 minutes, then wet pump ( meaning pump up to 5-7mmhg with warm water filled to top of chamber with heating pad wrapped around chamber) for 12-15 minutes, then dry pump @ 5mmhg for 10 minutes.
What I always end up with though is a very impressive thick unit when erect but once flaccid have the weird doughnut looking shape. Over a few hours the doughnut dissipates and I have size whcich does go away after a few days.. Do to my varying schedule with work, wife and kids , its not always easy for me to get alone time.

The harbor freight pump works great for both dry and weight. It has a gauge... used it off and on for 2 years without problems..
Something funny to add - When I was bleeding my car brakes, had to go inside my office closet at home and sneak out the penis pump/ break bleeder...lol

I did try the condom method the other day with dry pumping and did not get the doughnut effect - I had a Vasectomy 2 years ago and that wouldnt go over well if my wife found a condom in the trash ( can see her now digging in the trash for a reciept she had thrown away and here would come the questions)

Just realized that was my first post in almost 9 months - I am more of a reader then a poster, been at Thunders for years and even MOS.. but like it here.. nice format

I'm a member at those places as well. The Gym feels like "home" though. Good to have you here.

During a session how long should you hold a pump? i have been doing 6 pumps of 5 mins each for 30 mins should i just do 1 long pump or contiune you doing the short pumps?

yeah, vacutech says something similar. They say 6 ten-minute sets with a 5 minute "massage" (jelqing) in between.

However, I have come up with what I think is a better way that gets a better "deeper" pumping session.

I call it "Marathon Pumping".

Its like this. Pump at 3, NO MORE THAN 4 inHg of pressure. Do this for either 30-40 minure sets, and I have worked up to where I do 2 one-hours sets at this VERY low pressure. No edema and the "pump" you put on your dick lasts for WAY LONGER.

is packing the tube necessary?

is packing the tube necessary?

I have a question - is packing the tube necessary?

OTOH, I tried something different yesterday. After the usual warmup, I went in the tube flaccid. Increased the pressure gradually to 4 hg, while bringing down the pressure at 1 HG for 30 seconds every 5 minutes. After this went on for 4 cycles, I did 2 more cycles at 5 HG. I could not believe my own eyes after seeing the size of my dick !! But, there was a slight blister on the glans, which is a bruise today. There's no pain even to the touch, but I am going to take it easy till it vanishes.
Any thoughts?

What you did was a slightly modified version of what's called "pulse pumping." It's a very effective technique in getting plump fast and helping to pack the tube. If you are not careful, you can end up with just what you got - a blister. Be sure to stop to take breaks and massage your cock to keep circulation going.

As far as packing the tube being necessary, I would say that it is. It is a key indicator that your gains are cementing and that you need to move up to a larger cylinder to accommodate the increased girth.

Hmm, well that pressure is not that high, not sure why you would have received such an injury. Especially with the "pulse pumping" that you were doing. GTO? what you think?

I do pretty much what the vacutech people suggest, Calixto. I'll have to give your current routine a go. I seem to have passed through the donut/edema stage. My cock rarely swells up with fluid. I guess this is a good sign, huh?

Hey GTO,
Makes sense about the breaks - I went too long without one. Thankfully, its not a big one. I think being uncut and not having the foreskin withdrawn helped protecting the head from a larger blister.

I have a tube that's fairly large than my current girth - I am ~ 4.5" EMG while the tube is vacutech thickwall cylinder intended for 6" to 6.5". Does that effect anything was my intended question. I have learnt to be careful so that my balls are not sucked in, but the rest of the scrotum and the fat pad packs the tube for the first 2"- or at least that's what I think happens

You should get a properly sized cylinder. Cylinders that are too big or to small will certainly hinder good results.

another good improvement

another good improvement

Hello, just wanted to add my two cents even though I am new. I implemented my pumping routine with sets of Jelquing in between sets of pumping. I had noticed that I was getting a lower EQ (before jelquing was incorperated) at first but I was pumping too high for a rookie. I have dropped my pressure and have increased my sets to three 10 minutes with first cylindet and three 10 minute sets with second cylinder, I do standard jelquing of 50 reps followed by 30 v jelq reps between each pump. I also do my jelqs with just enough pressure to feel it without making it too intense. I also went too walmart and bought zinc, l-arginine and lysine and a good multivitamin and began taking this combo every morning. beginning this week I have been waking up with totl blue steel. I dont think a cat could scratch it. The point Im making is that I have found that more time and less pressure has seemed to be the key for me, I also have had less swelling in the glans area. I would also like to know how many of you are using a second cylinder to stretch the ligs because I have one and you can definately feel the pull in the groin just as you do when you strech your legs. The flacid hang is very much improved as well and I know the girth is bigger, just want to wait till I have completed 90 days before measurements are takin again, I am positive due to my weight lifting experience that it is not good to run for a tape after every session, it can be discouriging. I also wante to thank you all for these great comments as every one here is helping me daily. pimp out

You've found the key that a lot of guys miss - less pressure over a longer period of time yields the best results. Great job!

As far as a second cylinder, if you are looking to stretch the ligs, there's a couple of ways you can go. You can get a cylinder that requires and a base (like a silicone base) or getting a slightly smaller circumference cylinder. Be careful with the smaller cylinder as the pressure gets higher faster (since there is less volume) and the glans will take a lot of it (pressure) which can lead to blisters if you are not careful.

I also ball pump and the large silicone base from that gives my ligs an extremely good stretch.

second cylider

second cylider

The thing I have noticed with my second cylinder is that at first it was not comfortable to use at anything over four hg of presure but now I am able to use it very comfortably at six or seven hg of pressure. ironocally I was using the first cylinder at higher pressures in the beginning, hence the painful pecker the next day but after a month of use I have switched the pressures around for the cylinders, a little more pressure in the second cylinder than the first cylinder and now there is no discomfort in my sessions, I have also seen that as of now I have no need to go above five or six in either cylinder. The increase in warm up and streting as well as the Jelquing seems to be the best addition to the pump use as I believe that I am now working the outside and inside of my favorite organ. I also believe that I should not go more than two days in a row because no other muscle in the body can grow without recovery time, I actually tried three days in a row once and that seemed two make my private Benjamen quite sore, well thanks for the input, I am getting smarter everyday here.

I may have missed it in one of your earlier posts, but what is the difference between your two cylinders? I assume the second one has a bigger diameter.

 

[BigO]

the second cylinder is much larger, it fits the whole unit inside of it, giggle stick and berries. It pulls the entire package and you can completely feel the ligs getting pulled. I assume it is working cause only a month ago this was very uncomfortable but now it is no problem, even with increased hg. I can also see that it pulls out much farther into the cylinder. This is what is claimed by the manufacturer to be where you will achieve the gains in length.
