CLAMPING Everything You Ever Wanted To Know

Increase in clamped state? Cause there is no time where my dick is not under influence of some exercise(even if it was yesterday).
A week without PE makes no sense for me as it could mean that I loose all flexibility I gained over some weeks which could mean to start from zero again.

I like to switch things up to give some tissues less intensity/rest. Like doing clamped bends downwards for 2 days and then upwards and then 3 days no bends at all. Then I do clamped squezzes midshaft for 3 days and then 2 days squezzes below the head. Then 1 day compressors.
(of course all with PI ‘s in mind. No morning errection and trouble keeping hard=low intensity until up again). [of course Im conditioned]

My plan for now with clamping exercise is to increase/hold intensity - until I maintain an errection without clamp assistance, that is as thick as my goal size.
And then to slowly roll back the intensity until I need no clamping to maintain it. If I loose size within a day I will ramp intensity up again immediately.

Right after clamping I can hold and use an errection that is up to 0.5 inches bigger then my old cemented girth. And its a good usable errection, veiny, non edema.

Feels like Im on the right track but It might also be that I need more rest for tissues to develope. I try to factor this in with switching things up. Its a great hobby anyway and I wouldnt mind clamping my whole life everyday to maintain my size..but I dont think this is neccesarry,

I think you’ve written what I was trying to convey.

You know you’re gaining when you see an increase without the clamp. My point is you’ll only be able to tell if it’s a real icrease with a week off from any activity.

In my opinion I don’t think a week off would take you back to step one.

Yes but the increase without the clamp is due to the prior clamping. Its not edema in itself like I get it sometimes with pumping.
Its a quiet a natural looking, usable, enlarged errection. The effect is noticable for up to 48 hours. So not sure if its a gain already.(on its way yes.)

Here is my prob with the 1 week break:
Im hesitant to make a one week break as I was clamping intensly for 4 weeks, gaining steadily expansion inside and outside the clamp, but then loosing it all after a 2 week break.
When I started back again I had to ramp up the intensity and expansion over some days and weeks again.

So of course you are right you will only know if its cemented if you take a prolonged break. But it might be too soon to take a break.
I guess a good guideline could be to monitor the size during a break and the moment you are nearing your old size you ramp exercise up again.

Im not sure whats going on with clamping cementing process and the “faux” girth
I maybe have to carry the expansion/exercises on for a longer time and slowly wane the intensity off to cement.
Right now Im “fearfull” to do a longer clamping break then 2 days.

For now I just keep on doing what I do until Im constantly outside the clamp slightly over my goal. Good PI ‘s and bigger expansion inside the clamp are good signs for the time beeing.

Maybe you could get to the point where you could do maintenance clamping. One day a week or so. That would be fat. Pun!

I understand. Real gains must be tested. Similar to how I tested my max bench press and came up wanting.

They are not real gains if lost in two weeks. If they are lost that quickly I’d lessen intensity and go for a less is more approach. Just my personal experience.

Thats the plan. Or daily 5 minutes cause any longer pause and restart can lead to discoloration/bruises in my experience.

So, 5 minute sets will prevent discoloration?

I have been clamping for several years now with 2 clamps. My routine is usually every morning for about 1 hour about 10-12 minutes each but keep it slightly engorged between sets. I will sometimes keep one clamp on for several hours during the day fully erect for about 10 minutes then slightly engorged for 1 or more hours at a time. I recently started to hang again and I was doing manual stretches each morning. Not much jelqing anymore because of time and privacy issues. I have noticed in the last few weeks a noticeable mid shift girth increase flaccid and erect. Has anyone seen this and any thoughts on how to even this out. Thanks.

I wrote that clamping after a longer pause causes discoloration, cause tissue is deconditioned and the reaction is thus more itnense toward exercise.

But yes 4 x 5 minute sets will cause less discoloration then 1 x 20 minutes.

I also clamp with 2 clamps as it is easier to manage the clamp staying at the very base.

Did you do this continiously over the year? What did you gain? Interest in more details.

Regarding uneven: you can squezze/bend the shaft(clamped) were you want to even/increase it.
But you have to check it out a abit how your dick reacts. Sometimes it seems gains come where the clamp/squezze is and soemtimes it si were most blood is pushed towards.

I honestly don’t measure that often but I would say that I have gained about 1 inch at the base and at least a half inch mid shaft. Flaccid and erect it appears thicker. I have been camping with 2 clamps mostly and every morning. The isolated area of increased girth appears to be just distal to the second clamp. I have a vein the runs through this area that is enlarged from clamping but this appears to be more of the tissue enlarged than just the vein. It is more firm when I push on it.

This is noticeable and I would like to smooth it out or enlarge the areas around it so it is not obvious.. So bending at this area will smooth it out? I was wondering about clamping with only one clamp and doing more jelqing? Or maybe I should stop clamping and only jelqing for a while? I do like the gains from clamping but I don’t really want an obvious area of girth like a ring at the mid shaft.

I am clamping and jelqing apart from each other, I didn’t measure the girth yet, but it looks a bit thicker. And the veins are more visible. I think with patience I’ll reach my goal.

I am now 6,8 inch BPEL, I am focusing on 8 inch, I hope this would be a realistic goal to reach.

Yes it is. Remember that clamping is really strenuous exercise and can (but not must) interfere with length gains. All in all, with patience and consistency you will reach your goal.

Mix it a bit up. New challenges to the tissues. Like 50/50 clamp / jelq.

The increase often happens right in the fold of the clamp. Cause there the tunica is really on point stressed.
I would bend the area that you want to increase. Be carefull obv. I bend 100% hard only very slightly until it goes softer and then increase the bend.
You can also iso compress the smaller areas in squezzing/isolating it with two hands.

Did you ever have extended periods of not PE’ing? and if how did it react..

OK. A little background: I’ve been PEing for about two and a half years now. The first two years were all manual stretching and jelqing, and earned me about half an inch in length and about 3/8” in girth. Having felt that two years was long enough to ready myself for more advanced exercises, I started throwing in some Horse440s. They worked well. My routine typically consists of warm up, 200 dry jelqs, pausing every 20 jelqs for a 15 second Horse440, and then a warm down.. This has been working well for me. I’ve added about a quarter inch of girth in the last five months.

I decided to give clamping a try. I didn’t know how my body would respond, so I did 4 10 minute sets, punctuated by ten minute rests, and warming up before, after, and in between each set. I have done no other PE today. My concern is this: even after 4 sets, my penis has no post PE swell. It looks like I haven’t done any PE at all. Should I add more sets, try longer sets, use clamping as a supplement to my PE routine instead of a replacement, or is it possible that my body just doesn’t respond to clamping?

Any insight from a vet would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Revision: Upon closer inspection, the flesh around my piss hole is swollen, as it would be after a normal PE session.. But this is the PI that something has happened. I have no additional flaccid or erect mass.
