Am I pulsing too high...

I’ve been doing 3 sets of pumping now a day.

2x15 minutes@4-5 hg
1x12 minutes@4 hg pumping up to 10hg for 20 seconds then dropping back down to 4.

I’m not ever in pain and there is little if any doughnut. I just don’t want to be fucking shit up and NOT knowing about it.

Girth gains have been looking good though but length is coming slower. Maybe when I can pack the tube after the first set the length pull will be better.

I could be wrong as I’m not really a pumper, I just read stuff in here occasionally.

Everything I’ve read on pumping tho suggests staying at lower pressure for longer time to get actual growth as opposed to fluid buildup.

I’m sure a real pumper will come along and correct me soon but if you do some searching in the meantime using pump pressure as your keywords I imagine you’ll find what you are looking for.

Namaste,

How long have you been pumping regularly now?

AVOCET,

I’ve been pumping for two months now. However my penis is ship shape from my squeezes and jelqs so I feel that I can handle it OK. I mean just for curisoty I’ve went up to 15-18 hg for short periods and although it doesn’t feel comfy, it doesn’t hurt in any way. It may help to add that I bought a tube with a narrower diameter than my girth would reccomend to purposley stress length befor i work on my final girth by buying a wider one later. My tube is 2 and 1/8.

If I were you, I’d stay way away from 18 hg, even for short bursts.

I know, I know. Everybody’s different. But the fact that you are getting discomfort at that level is something you need to read, as in Read Your Dick.

If it’s length pull you are trying for, trust me that you are getting plenty at lower pressures.

so 10 hg on my pulses is ok? thanx

I don’t know.

10 hg may work absolutely well for you but could result in dick mutilation or no gains for others.

We try only to set reasonable guidelines: suggestions that from practice do not cause damage and do give gains to regular pumpers.

As you continue to pump, the most important thing is not any gains you make in the beginning but in the learning of how to Read Your Dick.

Hello Avocet, everyone!

Been a little while since I’ve been here. Been really busy but still able to get in my pumping sets on a regular daily basis and just wanted to comment on what I’ve learned this month.

As of this week I’ve settled on a 1 hr a day plan. 30 min AM, 30 min PM with milking in between. The results have been getting better now after much experimentation. I first milk 5-8 min, pump 15 come out of the tube. Milk again - 15 min more, milk, clean up, put on cock ring, done!
Do the same in PM. 4-5 d/w.

I can truthfully say that Avocet knows his stuff when it comes to pumping. I’ve played around with different set times like, 20 min straight, 25 min straight etc, but figured out that short sets do work the best for me.

I’ve also played around with using a homemade cockring I made some yrs ago but never put to use. After reading the info at CTC Company stating that a cockring benefits you in 2 ways.

1st, it keeps the pump up longer so the micro- tears can heal in the enlarged state (alot like using an ADS after hanging). I don’t wear it too long or too tight. Only 30 mins - 1 hour and check color and coldness.
So far it is really doing a nice job. Didn’t know it would make a difference but appears to.

2nd, it trains the penis not to retreat back inward as it wants to do after pumping or hanging. I’ve noticed that to be true after a few days at it.
I think with continued use it will help with length as well, staying in the extended state for longer periods… months.

And get this. I’m now only using 3 Hg pressure where as before I was using 4 - 5 Hg to maintain vacuum. That means I’m growing in girth and need less pressure to maintain the vacuum! And I’m still expanding @ only 3 Hg. It’s great!!

Later on with some more pumping time under my belt I’m gonna go for more sets and eventually only need 1 -2 Hg pressure to sustain vacuum.
Can’t wait. I really look forward to my pumping now that I’m seeing results coming!

Avocet, I think I read on a thread somewhere that you didn’t start to see results till about 6 weeks into your pumping routine, is that about right?

Also, this is a biggy. How long was it before you started seeing any real length gains due to pumping, jelking etc? We’re about the same size starting out. So I’m curious. I’m looking for length but have to “pack” that tube first!

Well, time to pump again. Catch you later.

That’s about right. It took me 4 - 5 mos. to gain the first inch, pumping alone, but I did begin to see some longer-lasting engorgement post-pumping after that time period.

I’m one of those “easy gainers” so don’t necessarily go by my experience. But at the time I thought a whole inch in length was longer than I could ever expect to be in my life, or any other. So it’s my fave inch, if we can call it that on a body part you like all of!
