Clamping

I have been hanging, doing manual stretching, and some girth exercises for about 5 months now and I’m considering adding in some clamping, alternating clamping and hanging/stretching every other day.

I was wondering since I have not met my length goal will the clamping effect my future length gains at all?
Or should I just wait till I meet my length goal to start clamping?

There has been talk about what I call the rubber band theory (unless it’s already being called that) where a thicker rubber band is harder to stretch than a thinner rubberband. I think it makes sense to at least get close to your length goals and then start concentrating on girth.
I personally plan on getting to within about .25” of my length goal and then slowly start to incorporate more girth exercises.

When I was clamping I put on a little bit of length so I made sure to rearrange my goals to prepare for this possible scenario.

My opinion work length while maintaining girth and once near your length goal go for girth.
How much farther are you from your length goal?

I agree with Yoyo about the rubber band theory, that’s why I do less girth work and more on length. I also heard that even length routine will help gaining the girth, and so the girth help gaining length.

I am about an inch and a half away from my length goal

In reference to this “rubber band theory”, I too have a concern, but perhaps it’s premature. I’m about 2 1/2 months into the newbie routine, and I already can tell (as can my wife) a difference in my girth. Not much, mind you, but noticable enough. I do stretching (sometimes throughout the day when I use the restroom at work) and then I do my wet jelqs in the evening. Girth increase would be nice, but I’m really interested in the length gains more than anything. I just hope that any early girth gains don’t hinder future length gains.

The consensus was that big girth gains kill length gains so in that respect I’d imagine once you gain alot of girth that is when one would start to see problems.

Of course this is just a theory I heard and I follow it simply to be cautious.

I’m currently on a all length routine, with a few squeezes and manual clamps here and there, but that’s just fancy workout for the erection quality. I’m two months into working the length and have already seen some great gains. In my humble and amateur opinion you should work one before the other. I’ll start clamping by the end of summer, I think it’s the best way to do. If you think about it, it makes sense:

You first build up muscle mass, and then tone and strengthen the muscles.

You first stretch to become flexible, and then work on agility.

My amateur opinion.

What is your routine for length?

I’m strictly a hanger, but I’ve my doubts here that clamping would affect me much.

The reason is that hanging, for instance, works the ligs mainly—which are attached near the base, and the tunica a bit.

Clamping, affects the thickness “downstream” of the base. So it shouldn’t matter how thick Mr. Happy gets via clamping, because for the most part what I am elongating is the ligs.

Hey all

This is my first post, but I have been lurking about and reading tons and tons since I joined here a few months ago. First, I think this is an incredible resource we have here, and I also think the support everyone offers here is fantastic.

I first PE’d about 6 or 7 years ago and went from 6” BPEL and 4 3/4” EG to 7 1/2” BPEL and 5” EG. I was quite serious in my PE attempts and accomplished this in about 7 months. Then I seemed to hit a wall and had no further gains for the next 3 months. I pretty much gave up and have only dabbled in PE ever since. I recently decided to give it another try. I don’t know how much of my gains I might have lost during my absence from PE because I intentionally did not measure my dick when I got started again. I did measure myself a few days ago and I am back at 7.5 x 5.

I know I have made some flaccid gains because I can see both women and men checking me out at times, like at the grocery store or at work, which is fine with me. It lets me know that I am getting some results and I don’t mind the attention. Still, PE is a bit of a challenge for me at times. I have to be a stealth PE’er because I have the wife and kids around the house and I want to keep this private. At any rate, now that I am back into PE’ing, I am doing two things differently than before.

1) I do three weeks straight of girth work (jelqing, pumping, clamping), followed by three weeks straight of length work (manual stretching, blasters with jelqing thrown in to cement any gains). So, I am not currently mixing the girth and length work. In response to bust’n’s post, I just found that my dick could not handle as much stuff as I was throwing at it, so I focus more intensely on one area at a time. I don’t stay at either one for more than three weeks because I have heard that too much girth can negatively affect length gains.

2) I have given up measuring myself. I got too depressed in the past when I did not continue to see gains, or at least the kinds of gains I wanted to see.

I enjoy reading the posts by vets who have been at this for a long time and have made good gains. I am planning to stick with PE permanently this time, and I hope in a couple of years I will have a penis like some of the huge whoppers I have seen pictured on this website!

I tried a hanging and clamping routine last year i.e. hanging in the morning and clamping in the afternoon. I had to stop after 2 weeks due to increased skin soreness during hanging. I ended up just hanging since my main goal at the moment is length; however, I perform low intensity edging between hang sets to restore circulation.
