Clamping Specific Questions

hi guys from the English forum, I noticed that most of the successful clampers are Americans, one of the most important I found on the forum is big ghirta, but unfortunately it is no longer active from what I see, however I open this discussion to give you some Clamping questions: 1.Big Ghirta advised expert clampers to tighten every day, he did clamping twice a day, how is it possible to be able to tighten several times in one day? I do clamping 4 series for 15 minutes and then I use the pump for 10 minutes ,but after my training my penis is tired and I can’t get a good erection in the evening. 2. when I do clamping and I see that the pressure decreases I add an additional clamp in front of the first to maintain strong pressure and sometimes I add up to 4 clamps at the base to keep the penis under pressure for the entire 15 minutes of the series, in your opinion it is correct or would I get more results using just one at the base even if it doesn’t maintain strong pressure? 3. I have been doing constant clamping for just over six months and I managed to go from 12.5 in circumference to 14.5 by doing 4 sets of 15 minutes plus 10 minutes of pump 5 times a week, but now I can’t go over 14 .5 for a couple of months, what do you think I should do to continue growing in circumference, should I increase the sets or tightening time? Thank you in advance for any replies

I don’t know as I don’t Clamp but from 12.5 to 14.5 in 6 months is ridiculous.

Now I might want to copy your routine haha.
But like…is your EQ always bad now?

My erections are not very strong at the moment because I hit the circumference every day with the clamping without giving the tunica albuginea time to return to its original size. To get strong erections again I would have to take a break for 3/4 days.

OK brother and after 3 or 4 days of no PE you still hit 14.5 mseg?

1. I’m not sure… my clamps are already on the tightest they can go(?). I think maybe I wouldn’t do the pumping straight afterwards though… no wonder your penis is tired, lol. You could try alternating between clamping and pumping on different days - eg. just clamping on one day, then just pumping the next day… (this is what I’m thinking of doing 🤔)

2. Hmmm… I think 2 clamps at the base should keep you hard enough for 15 minutes - are you sure they’re both tight enough? I usually use 1 or 2 at the base and one under the head/glans

3. Congrats on those gains! 💪 This is why clamping is so great for girth. If you’ve reached a plateau though, maybe try increasing the clamping time to 20-25 minutes a time? (as long as it is comfortable/not painful). I currently clamp for 40-60 minutes a time, so don’t be afraid to experiment/go longer. Others may consider that too much, but as long as it’s not painful and you "listen" to your penis, you should get on OK. 👍

Great that you clamped for that long and had no issues. congrats, many are not so fortunate. I recommend you graduate now to the 5 x 5 x 3 routine. It’s too much to explains so you need to research and go to MOS matters of size blog for that. I think you will find it more healthy and get your shaft very even in girth as well

thank you for the time you took to answer me, I read your advice and I also went to mos to understand what 5x5x3 is, now I think I will do one day of tightening with 4/5 sets for 20 minutes, and the next day I’ll do the 5x5x3 training, I’ll do this for 5/6 days a week and see if I can still grow, thanks guys.

yes, after 3/4 days I have 14.2/14.5 cm of hard circumference without lymphatic fluid under the skin, on the days when I train my circumference when erect during sexual intercourse reaches around 16cm and 17cm at the base, but these they are not real earnings.

Please note, I’m on the anti clamping band wagon. I do ULI #3 with just my hand for a few months, but I have now found that 5 x 5 x 3 is really all I need and have pretty much stopped ULI’s. Who knows though, maybe in a future routine I might bring it back. We will see. I just want people to know ALL aspects about clamping pros/cons and alternatives.

I tried the 5x5x3 but I don’t feel it is very effective on me, perhaps because I can’t jelquing well, in reality jelquing has never worked very well on me because during jelquing I can never maintain a good erection. In any case I cannot hide from you that although I prefer clamping I know very well that it has negative effects and that it is a very risky exercise especially if performed at high intensity; I myself have had a thrombosed vein caused by clamping, but I will continue to do it because I have a goal to achieve and I would never be able to accept not reaching my goal just for fear of taking risks.

of course, I would never advise someone to do clamping like I do, because the cons are quite significant, in addition to the risk of thrombosis, there is the consideration that after a heavy clamping session your erections will not be good for the rest of the day ,sometimes the penis may remain sore for a while and other unpleasant events may happen, but I continue to do it because it is the only method that makes me gain girth so far, I have tried other exercises, but none for me it worked like clamping. Then maybe there are people who grow more with jelquing or others who grow with pumping, it’s all subjective, none of us are the same, we are all guinea pigs and we have to experiment on ourselves what works Better try not to burn your penis.

I’m a long time clamper and attribute most of my girth gains to it. I do pump, as well, but for me it feels more like a support for girth work rather than the main driver.

I don’t think there is a benefit to clamping more than one session a day. A lot of the guys from the old days did some pretty extreme stuff, like hanging 8 hours a day or clamping many hours a day. It reportedly worked for a couple of the community in a big way, and theses guys became advocates and inspired a lot of others. So that kind of approach had a popular period on this board, but I don’t think most guys who tried it got the same kind of gains and the exponents might have been outliers.

I think if your program is working then keep going. If you are hitting a plateau then you can either change method a bit, increase time or take a deconditioning break to allow the tissues to soften up a bit.

The way I usually clamp is to use a strip of mouse pad as a soft interface and a stretchable tourniquet at the base and I clamp two at the base. I kegel in blood while increasing the tension in the clamps until I can’t get any harder and I can’t click any more.

I usually do 2-3 10 minute sets, and often as the set is a few minutes from complete I can click one or two on each of the clamps. I do this instead of adding more clamps.

I also wrap with an IR heating pad during the sets to use heat to soften the tissues. If you haven’t tried this it might be a simple fix to get you growing again.

Another thing to add is ‘soft clamping.’ A lot of guys feel like it is a great support to girth work as it more gently encourages expansion and tissue hypoxia that results in the growth of the inner erectile structures of the CC. Most guys use ‘silicone toe shields’ and stack up 5-10 of them on top of each other at the base after getting erect. Then do not kegel any fresh blood in as the point is to create a low oxygen environment for the set. Do no more than 10 minutes and then take them off. You can do a couple of these sets per session.

Perhaps instead of a second hard clamping session you can add a soft clamping session every 2 or 3 days and it won’t affect your EQ as much as a second set of hard clamping. And it might encourage a little more growth and better EQ over time.

One thing to consider is that you made really rapid progress at first and now that it has slowed it doesn’t mean you aren’t growing. You might just be growing at a more normal rate and it is just coming much slower and is hard to measure the increase day to day or week to week. For most guys girth gains come VERY slowly, so maybe you just need to keep doing what you are doing and measure every couple of months. If you can gain 2mm a month (which is hard to accurately measure) then you are growing pretty fast in terms of girth. It might take 2 or 3 months to see the trend of gaining girth with any kind of confidence in your measurement.

Thank you very much for your advice, it’s all I wanted to hear, you said what I had been thinking for days but didn’t have the courage to do because I didn’t know if slowing down a little would do me good or bad, but hearing it coming from someone who has been doing clamping for years gives me the certainty that this will work, in fact I intend to start doing 2 days of intense clamping, then light clamping on the third day and the last two days of intense clamping, it could be a good idea?
Furthermore, I also only use the pump as a complement to clamping, pumping alone doesn’t work for me.

tenacious, while I’m here, I’d like to ask you some questions

1: In your opinion, during a week of clamping it is normal to have weak or absent morning erections, has this ever happened to you? In other words, in your opinion is it correct to face a second clamping session the following day even if the erection is not ’ 100%?

2 When you clamp, do you ever feel pain from excessive pressure? Do you think it’s right to seek that sensation of extreme pressure to do a good girth workout?

3 Big ghirta said that he did clamping every time he could during the day, every time he had the opportunity in addition to hanging and everything else he did, do you think he was able to do it because he used a lower intensity? I’m asking you because ‘Honestly, after having done a 4 x 15 minute clamping workout plus a series of pumping, I find my penis very tired and I have to wait at least the next day to be able to train it again.

Thank you in advance for your possible answers

First +1 tD

@M I would not say those are not real earning, when you wear a cock ring over balls and shaft what are you measuring? My wife is now totally use to me wearing my cock ring for sex, All she feels is thickness.
Also, I have not heard you talk about MOS RED or RED + NIR to heal the penis more and get a good warm up.
As far as jelqing, I get that it is tough, however I feel the slow squash jelq is a different beast, you can do this one for the 5 x 5 x 3 easily

Yes, in fact, when I have sex after a clamp or pumping session, the vagina feels much more adherent and women enjoy it more, but I don’t consider them real gains because these dimensions disappear after 3 or 4 days and the thin penis and without swelling caused by blood or lymph, and in that case my penis measures around 14.3/14.5, this measurement is my stable measurement, the size I feel could remain for 2 or 3 weeks without EP.

As for heating, I warm up with an electric heater for 10 minutes and keep it on all the time I’m clamping and pumping, many recommend an IR lamp and maybe I’ll buy one later.

As for the acronyms RED+NIR I don’t know what it means, can you explain it to me if you like? In fact I know I’m not an expert user here on Thunder.
I will try again to do 5x5x3 after I have learned how to jelq well, but for now I would like to continue trying with clamping because it gave me fast results in a short time.
