Pounders

I was just doing a workout, and combined a bunch of recent ideas into one exercise.

This is not for newbies. Clamping experience required.

I used two HTW’s as a clamp wrap. Then I double clamped tight at the base, made sure I got a good seal, with a lot of hardness and expansion.

Then, I positioned two clamps on the upper shaft, just below the glans, in the same spot I normally grab to stretch. These clamps are set in opposite directions of each other, so the clamp handle of each one is going out to either side. These clamps go on lighter. Tight enough that you can pull outward (as in a clamped erect stretch) without the clamp budging. But not so tight as to cause any loss of expansion or inflation.

First, I started using these two handle clamps to edge myself while clamped, by pulling upward on them with one hand rhythmically.

Then, making my hands into fists, I rhythmically pounded outward on the two handle clamps (as in ballistic clamped erect stretch). I oriented the fists in whatever direction allowed me to make more force for my position, whether it be standing, sitting or lying. There’s not much room to work with on my 7 incher. Another inch and I’ll be pounding a lot better.

:thats:

Since the two handle clamps are oriented in opposite directions, pounding on them at the same time causes a minor and local bend in a 1” to 1.5” section of the shaft, while still being primarily a stretch.

Ballistic clamped erect stretched bend edging. Aka pounders.

Some extra notes and thoughts:

Adjust the tightness of the base clamps and hardness to your own liking. But when starting out, please do set the base clamps lightly for the first set, and add only one click per set until knowing the limits. For the upper clamps, again start with the lightest setting at which you get a solid grip, and adding only one click per entire workout, since this tightness affects the bend. Find the settings you like.

Don’t worry about the ballistic nature of it. At any normal clamping hardness, the unit will barely budge.

My clamps are lined in double layers of 2 mm neoprene, cut to fit and super glued. That gives them a very good grip on the shaft, and they don’t budge either. The neoprene lining may be required, I don’t really know.

It’s my new favorite way of clamping, and it works both length and girth. :jelq:

Pounding long and strong.

I ain’t no type to request pics very often. But it sounds just a touch complex, since I clamp without any cushion and I’m just not picturing what you’re describing. I’d love to give it a whirl. But I’m not getting 100% of what you’re showcasing.

Sounds effective and as a guy with a lateral curve, I’d love to give it a shot just on that basis alone.

If you clamp off normally at the base, and test out the idea of using another clamp near the glans as a handle with which to do clamped erect stretches, then it will all make sense.

I’m not sure if the neoprene lining is required or not for the handle clamp to get its grip, but it’s probably important.

I have issues with clamp movement under the glans so…neoprene is likely important, at least at the upper shaft. What neoprene do you use?

Tell me why I expected you to pound the middle of your penis with your description? *laughs*

You could use the handle for clamped erect bends to fight a curve.

I found out about the handle while experimenting with using cable clamps as a way to grip the upper shaft for upward angle hanging. When we stretch at an upward angle, we grip the upper shaft, just below the glans.

Neoprene clamps get a solid grip even while flaccid.

I’d also been experimenting with ballistic stretching separately, both while flaccid and erect. I’ve found that the more erect I get, the less ballistic the stretch gets. As the corpora fill, and hardness increases, the unit has almost no elasticity.

So I combined the two ideas. My neoprene clamp upward angle hanger idea was going to use two clamps, oriented in opposite directions, so that I could attach string through the clamp handle holes, and get a balanced hanging attachment point. But I never got around to making it or doing it because it would still hang wonky in the north-south axis. Being erect solves the whole orientation issue, but you can’t erect upward hang, because of deflation. Clamping solves the deflation.

The pounding really solves nothing. It’s just a convenient way to apply force in a ballistic nature. You could hang like this as an alternate force source. Doesn’t even have to be upward, neither does pounding for that matter.

Doesn’t have to be multi-clamped at the base either. And the HTW doesn’t matter either. Those parts are just my personal clamping style.

All that matters is the base clamp, the upper clamp which is a handle of sorts, and for pounding, two such handles oriented in opposite directions (right vs left), that you can pound on to create both a stretch, and and upper shaft erect bend. Whichever clamp is “on top” of the other will lever against the bottom clamp, and create a bend on one side of the shaft there.

Hope that all makes more sense now. I suppose it did need some clarification.

A picture wouldn’t even do it justice, it would have to be a video. Won’t be me starring in this film though.

:couch:

Actually, you’re thinking on the next level TG. Moving the handle clamps up and down the shaft, and alternating which side is “on top” is how to make sure the unit gets worked evenly. Or in your case, maybe working whatever section your bend is in, and you wouldn’t alternate sides.

You could also do a 4-clamp handle for a wider bend. With two going one direction on top, and the bottom two going the other direction. This would make the bend section more like 2-3” long, since each cable clamp is 0.5” wide.

The variations are endless.

Any should work. Mine is 2 mm thickness, got it off ebay. Cut out 0.5” strips and glued one along each side the inside of each clamp. Double layered for my girth. The HTW’s I use to prevent pinching mostly.

This is what I was thinking, when you originally described it. As my midshaft curve is pronounced enough and right smack in the middle that more leverage would be best. I was already working something similar, when doing clamped erect bends with multiple clamps before. But this idea here adds a slightly different dimension and what I think would be a more potent bend perhaps to focus my left CC more.

Definitely food for thought, neoprene is definitely needed simply because I have none and it opens up possibilities I hadn’t considered.

After testing this all out for another day, I think clamped hanging is going to be my main use for the “handle clamps.” Pounders or manually stretching on the handle have their advantages too, no hanging setup required. But the hanging is where it’s at for me. I’ve been trying to find a way to upward angle hang effectively and easily for years. I’ve dabbled in trying to erect hang as well. Now I got both at once.

A heck of a thing, honestly. However, and take no offense, I have to offer the simple warning to the Newbie passers-by who are reading:

Clamped Hanging is extremely advanced! Intimate knowledge of both clamping and hanging are required to avoid serious injury!

Because there’s enough people who claim there aren’t warnings round here. One of the many complaints of one of our recent injury cases is the lack of warnings (that he personally felt was a problem) and everyone just ain’t on the same level you are, Bearded Dragon. Two steps ahead and constantly innovating is not exactly common PE practice.

My God,

After reading clamping experience is required and hearing the name “pounders” i thought you were gonna wack your clamped woody with a mallet! Hahaha

Sounds like an interesting intense exercise. I already do clamped stretches. Adding another clamp to do it may make it easier.

Hmmm :-k That just might work.

:D

Been at these a couple more days. A couple things to add.

The clamped hanging is gentler than the pounders. But the time does some work. Overall gentler though.

The clamped micro bend is really intense. It’s probably the kind of thing I will only end up using a few days at a time in an IPR cycle. Not something I’d want to do on a regular basis. Who knows though, with some more conditioning.

If not for the micro bend, I might use the clamped hanging more often. But at the location of the bend, the workout is extreme, and it needs time to recover afterward.

It’s possible that doubling up on the handle clamps, i.e. 2 clamps one way, and two the other, would lessen the intensity of the bend.

And I still hold out hopes of one day finding a way to get a balanced clamped hang, that has no bend associated with it.

I was going through some old threads - had to update on this.

It was too intense of a microbend for my tastes when I did these. Can’t recommend them. Perhaps it could work as a slower controlled movement, but at that point you might as well just do a manual bend around a thumb.

I’m pretty much done with any type of clamped hanging. I think certain variations on it are responsible for the discoloration I had.
