New routine

I recently completed 3 months of gprent’s incremental pumping routine, 3hg for 10 minutes, 4hg for 10 minutes, and then finishing with 10 minutes at 5hg. with no break. Occasionally I would get a minor bloat around my circumcision but nothing bad, and I did notice minor gains in girth, and possibly length too during this routine. I recently switched to doing 15 minutes at 3hg with a 5-minute rest, and doing some fire rolls, then another 15 at 4hg, with another 5-minute rest/fire rolls, and finally 15 minutes at 5hg with a 5-minute rest and more massaging. I’ve followed this up with the use of a constriction band for 5 minutes a few times to end my pumping session, and so far I haven’t noticed any edema or bloating. I’m not trying to gain size (currently 5-5.25" FG with slightly over 6" EG, and 7.5" NBPEL), although a little more girth would be okay, just looking for maximum EQ. Not sure if I’ll continue with the band at the end, or possibly just add it in once a week. I previously lost all nocturnal erections and morning wood, but with pumping over the last year these have returned. Can I get your thoughts/opinions on my current routine?

Current routine is good. I think you can move up to 7 inhg slowly. Just move slowly and see what pressure/time gives you edema.

Had to change it back, started getting edema from possibly too much time in the tube, and also affected EQ. Trying out 3hg, 4hg, and 5hg at 10 minutes each, with a 5-minute rest between sets doing Firegoat rolls. I’m also only doing 2-minutes of clamping/edging with my constriction band at the end, after a 5-minute rest of course. I’ll see how that goes with the EQ, but dropping back on the time has already alleviated the edema issue. EQ matters the most to me, anything else is just a plus.

Are you water pumping with a gauge and cylinder? Huge improvement on EQ for me, I don’t get how people air pump.

No, air pumping, with a gauge.
