I’ve read your other post. I see you’re just starting off with PE and have also purchased a pump from VacuTech.
This is kind of an odd situation: you’ll be starting both pumping and manual PE at the exact same time.
I am wondering if that is too much for a newbie.
But Avocet himself started manual PE and pumping at the same time, IIRC.
Normally I’d just say to start with the Newbie Routine,
Newbie Routine
but since you’ll be pumping as well, I think Avocet’s beginning routine would be ideal to start with:
Vacuum Pumping 101
Avocet recommends starting with one 10 minute pump session at low pressure, and also recommends jelqing during the breaks between pumping sessions.
Like you, I just got equipment from VacuTech a few days ago. I’ve done manual PE for 4 months now, starting in April. Since I’m new to pumping I’ve restructured my routine to the following:
5 minutes hot wrap warm up
10 minutes wet jelq
10 minutes pumping at low pressure (~3 in Hg)
10 minutes wet jelq
This is a MUCH less intense manual workload than I have been doing. Since starting in April with the newbie routine, I’ve gradually expanded my manual routine to include jelqs, intense two handed squeezes, and manual stretches, in a routine that can take up to an hour.
I do plan to get back into intense manual work, and to use it in conjunction with pumping. However, as I am just now beginning pumping, I want to take it easy for the first few weeks with the above outlined routine. After getting conditioned with the pump, and after I am conditioned to handle 2 good 15 minute pump sessions in one sitting, I’ll start to re-introduce intense squeezes into my routine. I plan to use the squeezes in the breaks between the pumping sessions to get even more engorged than usual.
As I am still new myself, I can’t give any authoritative answers, but you might want to consider using the routine I’ve outlined above, but only doing one 10 minute jelq session as opposed to two?
For example:
5 minutes hot wrap
10 minutes pumping at low pressure
10 minutes wet jelq
….and then calling it a day? At least for the beginning. Just to get yorself conditioned.
Then as the weeks go by, maybe follow the plan outlined by Avocet, gradually increasing your pumping time and # of sessions?
As the weeks and months go by, maybe you’ll add more intense manual work: more jelq time, two handed squeezes, etc.
I’m new to pumping myself, and still relatively new to PE overall, but this would seem to be the best way to get started.
