8 Inches Long In Tube

Im 8” while in tube so how does that relate to my gains? Is that an indicator of what I will be in the not to distant future? How do I cement those gains?

Whoa! You are an inch longer in tube? I think that means that you have some room for gains.

At what level of pressure are you seeing this extra inch? 2 to 3 HG?

Thanks guys for reading and responding. Im seeing this measurement at about 5 HG and even less. Its crazy cause I had no idea I was going to be that long in the tube when I first pumped. I got a Kaplan (yeah-yeah I know) pump last week and noticed right away that I was pretty huge in the cylinder, but I didnt want to measure it for fear of disappointment. By the second or third set I had to measure and was shocked to see 8”. What does this mean for gains?

P.S. I dont know my current erect or flaccid stretch measurements because Im not measuring until July.

Most of us say, that shows potential in the not so far future. I wouldn’t count on it in 1 month, but 1 year perhaps?

First of all may I ask you what method do you use for measuring your unit in the tube?

Are your tube the Lapdist kind with flange at the base?
I have the Lapdist tube and I am the same lenght in the tube and out of the tube

In this year of pumping I have realized that if I get longer in the tube I increase my BPEL too.

I have to say that my training for lenght consist in pumping and heavy stretching, better in different days.

And I have also to say that my BPFSL is 1+” longer than my BPEL.

I have a Kaplan Starter Pump as seen here:

Ive measured the cylinder and made markings at 7”, 8”, etc.

You do heavy stretches? What is your routine and what kind of gains have you attained?

Again, what does this mean for gains and how do I cement this?

So that means you are almost maxxing out the standard tube— congratulations!

It means that with time you will probably see that outside of the tube as well.

To cement it, take it easy, be gentle, follow the recommendations for acclimating you penis and building up your set time in this thread:

I am sure you probably already read that. Getting that length outside of the cylinder isn’t going to happen overnight, so don’t overdo it and hurt yourself trying to rush things.

Here is some great advice androNYC gave me when I first started pumping:

Another statement, this one from gprent to another Thunder’s member, that I always keep in the back of my mind:

Anyway, best of luck — you are going to do very well.

Sta-kool, you and AndroNYC are awesome! You guys are what this board is all about and why I love it so much. Thank you for the advice. And yes, I do need to slow down.

Hey, I’m just a talkative newbie who is addicted to the search engine.

You are right — this board is terrific. I have gotten some amazing help with pumping from Petifaun, Lampwick, Mr. Happy, gprent,and androNYC besides being really influenced by avocet8's tutorials and countless other posters in the pumper’s forum. THANKS GUYS!

Guess I need to send Thunder another donation.

You are really lucky longer

I have your exact BPEL (7 inch) but I don’t get more than 6 inch in tube.

I don’t know how to fix this problem.

I’m like longerdong and am currently pulling a full extra inch in the tube (hoping to get more).

Anyway I can’t wait to have that extra outside of tube and give the wife and bigger unit.

I know it won’t happen overnight, but when it does happen it’ll be great.

I believe your pumped measurement is predictor of potential gains, depending upon what type of regimen you follow and your level of consistency and dedication.

But you probably need to more than pump your weasel, consider hanging as well (from midshaft and the base) to achieve your gains sooner instead of later.

I figure if you can pull/stretch/pump your junk to a longer visible measurement, then it’s very possibly an erect length in your future!

Much Luck!!

The ruler on your cylinder probably starts an inch from the bottom. At least that is the case with my cylinder.

I ‘think’ longerdong made his own ruler marks on the cylinder, starting from the bottom. So his is more accurate than what I have.

So I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
