Cycling between low and high pressure

I’ve been getting good gain with cycling between low and high pressure during my workout. I start with low Hg for the first minutes and then ramp up the pressure and cycle between high and low for 30 secs each with some kegel here and there. Does anyone follow the same routine and get good results? I noticed my girth is getting thicker and I’m getting more woodies during the day. So something is working here.

Interesting but I couldn’t tell you. It’s seems logical that the stretch and relax would be similar to bouncing when you stretch. However, just like bouncing while stretching can lead to hyper-extention of ligaments, it seems to me like this method is probably bringing you a little closer to the injury threshold.

I say if it’s working for you, you need to be our guinea pig. Keep going at it and try and take documetation pics for evidence.

Cycling pressure is a common technique. Can you give us any numbers for your low and high pressure?

3Hg for low, 10-12Hg for high. I’m talking about 30 sec short burst on each pressure.

I’ve followed a similar routine myself, and noticed great results on girth. 30 seconds seems like a long time, though, and I would say that this is an “Advanced” level routine.

How quickly are your guys cycling? Do you bring it up to high and low vacuum slowly or do you just pump it right up, hold, and then release vacuum quickly?

How long is your routine?

How many sets do you do per session?

How long a break between each set?

How many times a week?

Pump it right up, hold for 30 secs and then release.

15-20 mins with a few minutes of stretch before and after. I’m doing this nearly everyday before bedtime.

One thing to try is gradually pumping to 3, 4, 5 or whatever and then pull the cylinder out. This puts a good stretch on your unit and it has helped me with my first month gains. Not everything works for everybody though.

PE is more art than science. You’ve got to listen to your body to get good gain.

I’ve been doing this with a very simple electronics system for over a year, except at a lot shorter time. 6-7 seconds pump at 5-7” hg, then release to < 1” hg (not a complete release) and then repeat with a 30 second break programmed in every once in a while.

My setup consists of a gast pump, a solenoid valve controlled by a relay being turned on/off from the parallel port of my linux computer running a simple shell script. There is no need for $500 setup like pumptoys to do what their system does.

Whoa! That’s pretty high tech! You think I can make a setup like that using my Commodore 64? :p

Heck yea. Commodore 64 used BASIC language. Would be easy to access raw I/O, unlike in windows (linux is pretty easy though).

Do you have the tape drive, or are you using one of those new 5 1/4” floppies?
