Starting at 5 minutes should defenitely keep you from overdoing it, and will give you plenty of room to work up without getting hurt. It will probably take a few weeks for you to find your optimal routine as far as how many sets at how many minutes.
Well, I tried my new pump out last night. At around 3 to 4 hg, it took about 3 or 4 minutes to touch the edges of the tube up to 2/3 up my shaft. Pumping was a little uncomfortable though. I felt like my guts were kind of being sucked out. I took a break, jelqed a little, and then did another 3 minutes. Once I released the air, I didn’t notice any “pump” that stayed. I am assuming I’d have to be in it for longer for a pump to stay, right?
Also, I keep reading about Lymph build up. (sounds nasty to me) I don’t think I need to experience this. So, what is it, and how do I avoid having it happen to me? I also don’t need any blisters, so please flood me with knowledge and experience here.
Thanks,
AJ
