Gaining girth using IPR protocol

doubles:

This is a PM I sent to drilla9 a while back regarding loosening up the clamp for MORE engorgement:

Then, by accident I guess, I loosened up the clamp a bit and I noticed that my cock was a lot fatter. So, I got out the tape measure and it was an extra 0.25” (4.75”). I couldn’t freakin’ believe it. I’m basically treating the clamp like an adjustable cock ring.

Last week, I had a 1.25 hour long clamping session. I only stop for about 2-3 minutes in between sets, but the clamp is on really loose. I wrap as well with the TheraP wrist band stuff. I usually have 1 or 2 of these long sessions a week; the other days I usually clamp for about 45-60 mins depending on time and privacy. But today, my engorged girth (while clamping) at the end of my sesion got up to 4.875”. I have had no EG gains yet, but with this expansion, I think (hope) I’m on the right track. Plus, my dick doesn’t get dark purple so I know I won’t be getting any discoloration.

Today, I also found something new. I usually edge to porn while clamped and I kegel as hard as possible. Firstly, I sit up with my back erect and my feet shoulder width (or slightly more) apart. Then, as I’m edging and kegeling, I lift both my feet off the floor to put more pressure in my groin area. I found that not only does my BC muscle flex even harder, but my engorgement goes up as well. My BC muscle got really fatigued, but after one of my long sessions, I incorporated this maneuver and at the near the end of my session, I measured a clamped engorgement of 5.125”!!!!!!!!! I couldn’t believe it.

doubles…Hopefully this helps…

Mick: Can’t wait for your update - glad to hear you haven’t given up on girth using IPR just yet…

Thanks Q4L, the info was helpful.

About how many clicks of the clamp did you loosen up? I experimented a bit during my session today with a loosened clamp but I was having a hard time finding the money spot.

I’m very new to PE, but I have a lot of experience with developing flexibility, having done gymnastics and martial arts for years. Several years ago I determined to learn to do the splits both ways. This probably took about 2 or 3 years, though thinking back on it I probably could have learned it faster with what I now know about flexibility. The major tricks to gaining flexibility are plenty of warmup and consistency. Much better to do a 20 minute stretch session every day than a 60 minute one every three days. Taking a long break from stretching is almost always a bad idea unless you’ve injured yourself, as you simply lose flexibility rapidly the longer you don’t stretch. This is different from body-building where you can easily take a month or two off and come right back to it, having lost little significant muscle and maybe having even gained from the rest.

Intuitively, PE seems more similar to stretching than to body-building to me, as you’re not really adding mass to tissue as much as getting tissues to expand, relax and lengthen more. Therefore, I’d guess PE results might be more similar to flexibility gains than strength gains. Just my $.02.

Thanks quik4life.

Exactly how loosely do you clamp? When I clamp too loosely I feel like it’s not doing anything, so I tighten it a little bit… not as tight as I used to though. So I’m just not sure whether I’m still doing it too tightly, or whether it’s about right.

Thanks again,

Mick

Yeah, I’m having the same problem Mick.

I think question is better when you ask: How many clicks did you tighten?

I used a neoprene wrap that went about 2.5 times around the base of my 4.25 EG penis. Using a medium (regular) sized clamp, I only clicked in about 2 or 3 notches…max!

I know it seems really loose, but for me, that’s what worked and gave me awesome engorgement on my third set.

You should also give my method a try - the one where I raise my legs which puts more pressure on my pelvic/BC region. I also did a reverse kegel once and a while and it also helped enogorge my penis even more during my clamping sessions. I always edged to porn while clamping as well - I’m not sure if I already mentioned this. Using BG’s method of “set it and forget it” never really worked well for me. But hey, to each his own.

It sounds as though you are loosening the clamp after you have tightened it. I NEVER tightened the clamp past two or three notches. You’ll know if it’s on too tight if your penis turns purple, or if you are losing sensitivity when edging, especially in your 2nd and 3rd sets.

Measure your EG clamped girth at the end of each set (with the clamp still on). Only take 2 or 3 minutes rest in between sets. I usually took the clamp off, but left the wrap on. If you don’t notice a big difference between the measurements of your 1st and 3rd set clamped measurements, then the clamp is on too tight.

Remember…The looser, the better (IMO).

Thanks a lot quik4life. I think I may be getting somewhere now.

Thanks quick4life.

I’m still not sure how tight to clamp it though.

I never turn purple after 10 minutes, and the clamp could definitely be loosened. Does “the looser the better” basically mean, clamp your wang, but just so it’s barely applying any pressure at all?

If you told me your girth, then I could probably get a good idea of how tight you’re clamping based on how many clicks you clamp.

Thanks!

Yes.

4.25 inches. Pathetic…I know. But hey, I’m focusing on one thing at a time. I’m a firm believer in length first and girth second. Hopefully the vacuum hanging routine that I’ve started not only gives me gains in the length department, but the girth department as well.

Hmmm… I guess you must have a different clamp size than I do. I’m about 6” in girth and two clicks would be very loose on me.

I’ll try what you said though, and tonight I’ll clamp as loosely as possible.

Thanks and good luck with your gains.

Mick

The tightness of the clamp should be just enough so that it stays where you clamp it. Any tighter, IMO, is not necessary.

Although aristocane has been both praised and condemned for some of his actions, I believe in his philosophy in maximum expansion. If you’re not getting good expansion during your clamping sessions, you’re just not going to grow - simple as that.

Some people get awesome expansion when the clamp really, really tight. Others, like myself, get awesome expansion (which I believe to be anything in the 0.3 to 0.6” range) when the clamp is really loose.

Everyone just has to find what works for them.

Good luck.

Having experimented with both approaches, I agree with Q4L. I made my best gains using a minimum stress for maximum strain approach. IOW, clamp down just enough to get maximum expansion.

It’s strange. In my personal expierence I too have gotten greatest girth expansion (up to half inch/0.50”girth expansion) from clamping multiple sets with low-to-mid stress from clamping compared to clamping with max stress. Whenever I did super high stress ultimate double clamp can’t-stand-clamping-set-for-too-long-because-its-too-painful sets I didn’t expand as much as I did with lower clamping stress. Ouviosuly logically the reason for this must be is we are going overboard when clamping too tight with too much pressure eager to make major gains quickly but in reality we are probaly blocking off the penile arteries that are filling and suppling the shaft with more and more blood as the set goes on if we clamp too tightly (not to mention how uncomfortable it is clamping too hard). Interesting. I wonder if the wave of the future is too not clamp too tightly/as tight as you can when clamping for maximum girth expansion.

The only problem with this idea is look at Aristocane. If he was telling the truth then clamping as tight as he could for a few sets gritting his teeth in those uncomfortable clamping sets then for that might be needed for to at least make it faster for getting big girth gain. Also it might fuck your dick up and make it really discolored like his is…

Ohhh we have still have a lot to learn with clamping I see…
