Girth theory: Pumping vs. clamping

I’ve read a lot that girth work prior to length work can help with length because the tissue is worn our and causes the micro-tears better? I’m pretty new in the game so can’t tell much from my experience but this is what I’m trying

I’m not an expert on this, but most of what I have read says length first, girth second. There are many threads on this subject here, try the search function to learn more.

I’m not certain how the “Length before Girth” idea got started. The only question I have is how do you work length without working girth too?
Any type of length exercise you do whether it be traditional hand stretching, jelqing, weight hanging or extending all exert traction forces on your penis, which in turn will generate length gains. Understanding how cell regeneration takes place is an indicator as to how your penis grows. Nobody who’s ever done any of type PE exercises to my knowledge has ever posted “OMG my penis is getting longer, but it’s also getting thinner because I’ve stretched it”.

Whether you are directly targeting length, girth is also being indirectly worked too. Most will agree that penis pumping primarily promotes girth gains, but you’re still indirectly working on length too.

I’ve always worked on Length and Girth together.

Hi guys! I’m just getting started, I make clamping while using the vacuum pump. I put a rubber ring that tightens a lot at the base of the penis, and then pump work on, short sections interspersed with delicate jelqing, always in clamping, for me to work well. Has anyone tried that? Is good ?

Put all the devices away for six months and follow the newbie routine.

Hey thank you for the answer. Even if what I’m doing seems to work? I was straightened 10 ° and stretched 1 cm, and even enlarged about 1 cm. In 4 months. Isn’t it correct what I’m doing?

Basic fundamentals should always be your foundation. A newbie or beginner routine should always be done before anyone attempts to implement an advanced exercise like clamping into their routine. Since nobody responds exactly the same it’s really up to the individual to discern what they are capable of doing. This does require a little experimentation along with common sense.

Nobody who has never ran a marathon starts out running 26 miles the first few months of training. Nobody who’s weight trained for 3-4 months should ever attempt to duplicate the routine of a professional bodybuilder. Nobody who’s just learning to ride a Supercross track is going to attempt a 80’ ft triple jump after only three to four months of riding a dirt bike.

Expansive exercises/devices target both length and girth. You can do expansive exercises alongside elongation focused exercises. In my experience, I have seen my greatest gains combining the two in a session, in any order.

Ok thank so much guys. :)

This has not been my experience, at least relative to sequence.

My experience is that girth focused exercises such as pumping and clamping tend to leave behind some edema, even when it appears to be minimal.

I have found that this temporary lateral expansion can interfere with getting the most out of elongation based exercises.

So I will typically keep my girth work until after my extender routines. Similarly, I might stretch before I jelq.

Even then, depending on the volume of girth work completed, the edema might creep over to the next day having a negative impact on the productivity of the day’s extending.

I am a bit of a bulldog though and tend to jam in girth work weekly as I like the temporary expansion during sex. As I sit here clamping.

This is just another take on things, ultimately each one of us needs to find our own way. So some, such as TuffDong might find girth before elongation is never an issue, others might find it to be an interference.

Also, as Titleist said, if one is new to PE it is always best to acquaint one’s self with PE using a lower volume manual based routine such as the newbie routine. This is a safe and great way to understand how our penises will take to PE while at the same time supporting a conditioning to the stresses involved.

Making my first post here so take it easy on me.

I’m reading through this thread and had a few thoughts. There seems to be a lot of back and forth about permanent gains from clamping and pumping, and I have no answer for that. But would it make sense for pumping or clamping to be beneficial/supplemental to a standard stretching routine?

If we are stretching, “micro-tearing”, and then healing, would the extra blood drawn into the unit help at all? Would it be a good practice to lightly pump after a good stretch? I’m not suggesting this, but it’s something I’ve been doing recently. I enjoy pumping and I feel like after a good stretch it really fills and expands the tissue. I haven’t been practicing this long enough to give any value to this tactic, just looking for some experienced opinions.

Thanks guys for any responses and for this incredible site.

Is there such a thing as clamp and pump at the same time? I bet that would be really good. Prevent the pump swelling and just stretch out what is already clamped even further.

I can see that really stretching you out on multiple levels while also being safer as you pump without pulling in other fluids.

I know it was asked before but anyone pull it off successfully?

The “fluids” come out of your blood… that’s what swelling is.

If you’re doing things right with PE whether it be jelqing, pumping OR clamping, there should never be a need to clamp and pump at the same time. If things aren’t working for you currently with your PE routine pumping while clamping will probably only result in injury.

No, clamping will not prevent more blood from entering the penis especially if you are pumping while clamped

Been saying the exact same thing now for several years! The foundation for the most effective length and girth gains is a synergistic combination.

1. Hand stretches / jelqs
2. Weight hanging (prefer vacuum based device) - advanced exercises after 6 months to a year of training to include Fulcrum and Bundles.
3. Pumping
a. Clamping
