Minimum pressure to make gains
I am curious what the lowest pressures used were that a guy can still make decent gains.I know lots of vets have pumped low hg,and high hg,and settled on a mid to low hg , but has anyone out there stuck to the low end 3-4 hg and made gains.or is it necessary to crank it to the 4,5,6 range to get the pumped stretch?I am not a newbie to pumping , having pumped for about 4 months off and on (ok well maybe I am relatively new) out of the lat year or so. I have typically gone right out of the chute with a couple of days at 3,then a few days at 4 ,a couple at five and settled in on 5-6 as my pumping range.I’m thinking about going a different route this time staying low,maybe a month at no higher than 3 - 3.5 ,another month no higher that 4.5 and so on.kind of like the hanging principle of no more weight than necessary to make gains,well no more pressure than necessary to make gains.
Another question is how fast do you pump up, one full squeeze of my mityvac takes me up about one hg, do you move up this fast or do you gently budge it up in hg to your desired level ( I’ve opted for the gentle bumps about 1/4 hg each bump)
So has anybody gone this route?
I’m going with :
12 min 2 hg
Jelq 1 -2 min
12 min 2.5 - 3 hg
Jelq
12 min 3 hg
Jelq
Doing this pretty much everyday
