Lymph Buildup and Progress

I would like to now if there’s any solid evidence that the puffiness from lymph buildup truly hinders gains? It’s not that I like the puffiness; it’s the question of should it be avoided as much as possible.

Thanks,

No, I think it’s just no problem. It vanishes in time, why should it hinder gains anyway??

IMO, the only benefit from lymph build up would be that the surface structure of the skin (theoretically) stretches as a result of the swelling. What, if anything grows, after the lymph fluid is gone as a result of the surface stretching of the skins is anyones guess.

I’m not a doctor, but my concern is with the repetitive buildup of an abnormal amount of lymph fluid. I mean it’s the bodies normal response mechanism at work, but what’s the long term effect of an abnormal fluid build up? Damage to the lymph system of the genitals? Damage to the lymph glands of the groin? Damage to other organs or the body as a whole from the need for removal of excessive lymph fluid? I’ve noticed that I will sometimes get a slight swelling of the lymph glands in the groin and a soreness in the legs as a result of too much fluid buildup. Yea eventually it goes away rather quickly, but again what’s the long term effects to the lymphatic system either as a whole or in a centralized location???

Oooopps, this question is probably pumping related. I know nothing about pumps. But should be the same thing .(for lymph)

Kaan - It’s okay because I’ve had this question about clamping and other excersises as well.

Root - I hear what you’re saying. I’m just wondering if the section of my unit where the circ scar is will be weakened and no longer be able to keep from swelling with lymph fluid.

I’m hoping some vets who have pumped for a long time will chime in soon…

Thanks guys,

Not a vet, but have been pumping for almost five months. I’ve never gotten major lymph build-up. The few occasions when I’ve experienced ‘donuts’ were early in the game, and they slowly dissipated over the course of a few hours. Now I don’t get them at all, so I suspect I’ve adapted somehow. Perhaps this opens up some of the passages. I don’t know. I also get better erections, which I attribute to improved blood flow, so maybe this is similar?

My weak area is always around the circ scar. It seems to get lymph build up and donut much easier from pumping and jelq.

I dont mean to hijack the thread but is it itchy when you get lymph build up around the foreskin/circumcision scar?

I don’t get the lymph buildup like I used to when I first started pumping.
The itch sensation that you describe I’ve had before with or without excessive fluid build up.
To me it’s more of tingle / irritation thing and I attributed it to irritating the nerves endings / bundles.

Again, it’s always been at or near the circ scar and usually along the underside.
I take it as definitely not a good thing since it usually occurred when I got over zealous and pumped at too high a vac. or if my wanker wasn’t in the mood for pumping. Then any pumping and even sex can re-irritate it easily until it passes. Best to take a day or two off from the pump if it occurs, and watch those Hg’s.

And take it from me, if you happen to get some real good oral after you’ve done this to yourself it can be down right painful. You’ll wish you hadn’t pumped or gotten the oral. I messed myself up so bad once intercourse felt like I was dragging my dick through broken glass. LOL - When she asked me what was wrong I told her I thought she might have got me with the teeth. At least I got some sympathy.

When I clamp I get lymph buildup around the clamp, no matter how I wrap. Also I know there is some type of lymph buildup all along the penis because as “expansion”(for all I know it’s just lymph fluid) occurs my veins disappear.Does everyone experience the minor lymph build up in the penis? Or does the average clampers veins remain as visible as to start with? I would appreciate an answer from every clamper that reads this.

Lymph Buildup = hindered gains

I have been having conflicting pumping results recently that has me wondering if lymph build up is all that bad.

One of my PI’s I like to go by is how long my post pump size stays with me.

Whenever I pump to just under my lymph threshold I can retain a good post pump size for about 8 - 12 hours.

If I overdo it though and get lymph build up(not a lot, but considerably more than my above posted example) then I can retain a good post pump size for around 12 - 20 hours(sometimes 24 hours).

And when I say good post pump size, I am refering to the expansion/measurement of my CC, not lymph/skin size that stays for a little while right after pumping.

There is no noticeable difference in erectile strength if I do either, so I’m inclined to believe in my case, lymph isn’t a bad thing(within reason).

Concerning lymph, I also like to reference supersizeit’s past experiences in which he has stated in his old threads that he would pump to the point of having lymph build up, but it was not detrimental to his gains. And he had some awesome gains when he was actively pumping.

I’ve pumped for nearly 7 years now, and have always made gains even with lymph buildup.

That is very good news for me to hear.

I only get slight lymph buildup when I pump. But I get a lot of it when I wear a cock-ring or ace bandage ADS for long periods. I don’t think it is hindering my gains, in fact, I’m quite happy as I think it is the reason that I have regrown about 3/4 inch of foreskin, which helps make my flaccid look bigger.
