Clamping 101 - The clamping guide

Remek, I still don’t think it has to do with HOW MUCH blood you have. Your body can reduce or increase flow to the body parts that need it. For example, your cardiac output can increase 500% while stenuously exercising compared to at rest. When your muscles need oxygen, your heart rate increases to bring more blood to them.

The girth gains related to erection quality probably has to do with tissue healing as I theorized earlier, but I have no idea why giving blood would effect your erection, unless is it psychosomatic.

It would make sense that giving blood would affect it. Think about it, an erection is the penis filling up with blood, if all the blood was in the body before the erection, but some was taken out, then there is less blood to fill it. Your other body parts still need blood, so it’s not all going to go to your penis

No, no, no.

Your circulatory system is very elastic and can adjust to different blood volumes. Even different levels of hydration will change your blood volume.

When you give blood, it will take a while for your body to replace the blood cells that were lost, but it will very quickly make up the blood volume by increasing the amount of water in your veins and restricting the loss of water through the kidneys.

So your hematocrit will go down after giving blood (% red blood cells), but your body will maintain your blood volume (in effect, it will just be a little more dilute).

So following this,

How long would you estimate a full recovery of blood? Would it take days, hours, or minutes for your blood volume to be increased? I am not certain, but I am sure they always instruct me to wait 3 days before I continue exercising again (my body, not my penis).

Guys,

Please tell me why a Pump won’t do the same thing as clamping (and be safer)? I have a pump that once your to size you can slip a nice rubber ring on your base and keep the erection.

Definetly a good question. But unfortunatly, we don’t hear many people claiming enormous girth gains from pumping… I don’t know why. Maybe the blood isn’t “clamped off” as good?

I would like to hear theories on this also.
I think that the pressure on the tunica is much less with pumping, and a lot of the pumped size you see is from lymphatic fluid build up external to the tunica.

I think they are basically doing the same thing.

One increases internal pressure directly (clamping).

One increases internal pressure RELATIVE to external pressure (pumping). That is to say, internal pressure remains the same, while external pressure decreases…resulting in a relative increase of internal pressure.

The limiting factor of pumping is the relative change of pressures can cause fluid migration and bruising.

The limiting factor of clamping is the ability of the blood vessels to withstand the increased pressures.

I am starting to think that the limiting factors of pumping aren’t critical. I am starting to really believe that EFFECTIVE pumping should be done well below vacuum levels that will produce negative effects on fluid migration and bruising.

As a matter of fact, I think all pe MUST be done at levels safely below tissue damaging force/time levels.

If a method needs you to go dangerously close to tissue damaging levels of force/time to be effective…it should be abandoned!

I think clamping is one of those methods that in order to be effective, you don’t have a large safety margin.

I don’t advocate abandoning clamping, but I do put it in the catagory of one that should be done with real caution.

In the past year, many of the injuries that have popped up on Thunders’ seem to have a clamping history involved.

Clamping is dangerous, I often refer to it as constriction.

I’ve had superb gains from it over the years but it’s dangerous and takes time to adjust and get right.

This 101 guide is great, wish it was around when I started doing constriction than I wouldn’t had made those injuries and mistakes back than.

I think that allot of guys see this as something easy like putting a cock ring on and sitting their when in actual fact it’s allot more intense and you must be vigilant.

Pumping+constriction+wet jelqs work well, tried and tested by myself but again INTENSE.

Constriction is something that guys who like pumping, Ulis, horses will enjoy but others might not so.

It works well but it isn’t a magic wand and I hope guys don’t jump into it.

I’m also updating my guide soon, it’ll be revamped and much better than it is ATM.

Anyone who is interested in clamping and would like to help than it’s much appreciated because at MOS not many seem that interested in it anymore, even though some were barking from the roof when it first came to the forums.

Thanks Red. You have probably been in the clamping business longer than any of us, so I don’t take your recommendations lightly.

I have come to believe that there are two technologically-assisted ways to enlarge your penis:

1) Hanging
2) Clamping

Hanging is for length, while clamping is for girth. As you said before, clamping is intense, and so is hanging. No exercise that requires more than your hand should be taken for granted.

If you need any help with your guide, let me know.

Thanks

Some people have said that they have a harder time with erections after giving blood, if I exercise really hard I have a hard time with a good erection for a day or two

I’m going to incorporate clamping into my regime. I’m wanting to specifically create a permanent mushroom head. My head is currently smaller in circumference that my dick.I’m currently at 7.5” length and 5 1/2 circum. Any recommendations in creating a larger head?

Hey big G, can I ask how long did it take to attain this jump in size/girth (the stats below are yours not mine unfortunately)? And do you really only use PE rings and Clamp ? If so.. PLEASE TELL ME THE ROUTINE.. I have rings but havent put to much into using them and I do like clamping but have to work out a consistant schedule..
THANK YOU

Starting Stats:
BPEL: 5-3/4
Girth: 4-1/2

New Gains as of 08-12-05
BPEL: 7-1/2
Girth: 6-1/2

Good news for clampers in Belgium (and maybe Germany).

Yesterday I found the Cable Clamp as featured in this thread in the Makro shop. I tried it out and it works fine.
As there is a small opening near the hinge, it can also be used for hanging.
I am trying it out right now with one kg. and it is the best self made hanging
device I tried so far.

For the Germans : The German equivalent of Makro is Metro .
