Hey Cap!
This is great for girth and some length, so maybe you could use this as a cycle when you are happy with length.
Let me just tell you what I have been up to. Let me just preface this with this warning: THIS IS FOR CONDITIONED AND ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS ONLY!
After much, MUCH experimentation with pumping, I have put it aside for now. What was happening is that my skin was becoming more and more sensitive, and in order to not have all the capillaries completely broken, I had to keep dropping my vacuum levels until it was too low to get any decent gains. I’m not talking just red dots, but large hemorrhage areas of up to a penny size. I would let them recover and start back low, but they would just reappear, even at levels as low as 3 in hg.
So, I decided to go back to clamping, primarily to raise EQ. What I have found, BECAUSE I was clamping primarily for EQ, I didn’t do my usual over doing it routine. What I found, is that not only have I kept decent to great EQ, I have been gaining girth and apparently a bit of length too.
I modeled my approach on tntjockry and kaans work. Basically I am clamping daily and this goes at least two weeks straight without a day off, more if you can handle it…but gains may not even begin to show in less than two weeks.
I use a key hose clamp like this one;
make sure you get a good one, because you don’t want the key to fall off when its on tight. I use a thera-p band as padding, but neoprene works fine or a sock.
Here is my innovation that has kept me from getting discoloration due to rupturing capillaries. I had a htw (hair tie wrap, although its callled a headwrap);
HTW: its a wrap
I cut one end and roll it up like a condom, then put in on my erect cock like a condom. I put the neoprene (fabric side to skin) over it, then the metal clamp over that.
I have used heat and done without it, find what is best for you. I start with about 10-15 minutes with the clamp on loose enough to be able to be moved up and down fairly easily, as opposed to being "locked in". I have been doing this under heat. This is to warm up and begin to relax the tissue. As you progress you can experiment with tightening more, but still no "locked in" this allows some circulation. You can also experiment with some squeezing and stretching during this period.
So, when your warm up period is done, you tighten down the clamp until it "locks in" meaning it will no longer slide, and I recommend just enough tightening down so it no longer slides and stop there.
If you get to this level, you will find as you begin to pull and squeeze (gently, until you condition and see how you respond to ‘gentle") the clamp may begin to slid up a bit toward the glans. This is fine, just push it back toward the pubic bone and kegel some more blood in. You will find it get tight again. You can actually hold it in place with gentle pressure toward the pubic bone with one hand, and do the pulling and squeezing with the other. If you want more length, do more pulling and less squeezing. However because you are clamped, I believe even the pulling will add to girth.
Personally, because I over train so very easy, 5 minutes was plenty of "locked in" time. I then went to 5 minutes locked in (L.I) loosen to the point of sliding again for 5 minutes, then back to LI for another 5 minutes. This has been working great for me, and though I haven’t measured girth, it is increasing and now even getting some length gains.
Here is what you look for. First start to get improved EQ. As Kaan had said, you should be getting great and hard erections and perhaps amazing wood in the morning, but at least great EQ. I use my nite wood as a guide. If my nite wood start to drop from good/great to less than that, I cut my time back, as active recovery….remember no days off for at least two weeks. So if you need recovery, cut your time down, try cutting in half for a few days and your EQ should come roaring back. Also, idealing you should have a larger flaccid most of the day, or at least very little shrinkage.
IF you don’t get spotting or capillary breakage, you don’t need the HTW, but if you do, the HTW will prevent it.
When you first start, you can even or maybe should forsake any pulling or squeezing. As your dick gets conditioned you can begin to gently pull and or squeeze your dick. I find I get a bit of discomfort and a bit of burning as it stretches the connective tissue in the tunica. Use common sense here, a little is ok, more than that is stupid.
Listen, clamping is high pressure stuff, and then pulling or squeezing is increasing it, so use extreme caution and sense. Even though its discomfort, its a "good" discomfort. IF you get any pain at all, back way off or stop completely depending on if it was just a twinge, or if its constant. Constant pain means you damaged something and you need to stop completely for a few weeks until it completely gone.
IF YOU ARE SMART, you will take the very slow and gradual approach here. Thats what will win this race, a slow gradual increase, giving all the tissues time to adapt and respond. Rush this, AND YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!
If you do this properly, you will actually look forward to it, and it will be an enjoyable time. So much so that TNT found himself continuing even after he knew he needed to stop.
I suggest reading both TNTjockey and Kaan’s writings on their clamping to give you a more global understanding.
I find I am making slow but definite progress, and I really believe if I keep up the program, that gains will continue. There will come a time that gains slow or stop, and I believe a layoff of a few months will allow you to begin to make gains again. The great thing about this approach is you should have good to great EQ, and if you don’t…that is an indicator to back off, so no reason to ever have bad EQ with this method.
Anyway, Cap I wrote this for you, and I wish you all the best! PM me if you have any questions, as I don’t spend much time at TP these days.
