Got my pump today!
So it came early in the mail, needless to say I was very excited. I used a pump a long time ago before I even knew what pe was, no gauge and just for a little messing around. I only used it a little and had no gains but no schedule either, this time will be different. The one I got has a gauge, a good sized cylinder and seems to be decent quality. After washing it and warming up with a warm washcloth for about five minutes I lubed up and slid in. I pumped up to 2.5 inches (I am going to go pretty slow to see how I adapt and I was clamping the other day so my unit was already feeling a little worn out). I really like the sensation of being in the tube and did 2 minutes on and 2 off with some light jelqing for 2 minutes in between. The cylinder has measurements on it and I got to about 6 1/2 which is a little less than my bpel, wondering if that is just the tube or what. Like I said, I didn’t want to go overboard so I kept the pressure light. I did increase it to 3 for a few seconds and saw some more expansion but took it back right away.
So, I will keep to a light schedule and really can only use the pump on the weekends since I am gone during the week. I will keep up with the newbie routine and maybe keep clamping a little on the road but I much prefer the pump!
