New to pumping, some questions...

I just got a pump (LAP) and so far I must say that I LOVE pumping, beats the hell outta hanging anyday. Anyways, I have a few questions I wanna clear up:

1. I have pumped for 2 days in a row so far, can I continue to pump everyday or do I need off days?

2. So far I’m pumping at 3-4hg for 10 minutes, de-flating the pump every 3 minutes, jerkin it up to a full erection, then goin’ back in. When I’m more conditioned, will I need these breaks? Is it necessary to jerk it back to a full erection before I go back in?

3. What’s the word on kegelling in the tube? Good/bad? The pressure gauge goes up 1-2 hg if I hold a good kegel.

4. The instructions say “some men enjoy masturbating while in the tube”. How the hell can u masterbate if theres a glass cylinder around your dick?

5. I don’t want to go too far into this one because its been debated over and over and over again…But will masturbating to orgasm on the same day of pumping hurt gains in any way? I don’t believe it has an effect after a hanging session, because that is just a stretch, they are not related. But pumping and whackin’ it both have to do with blood flow, so I was just wondering what the word is.

Thanks in advance, and happy pumpin’ ;)

I haven’t got my pump yet, but I’m laughing over this comment !! LOL!!

I would take breaks. Go more by feel than by calender.

Good question! :rolleyes:
I don’t know, but I do them.

I believe the act of pumping itself is a form of masturbation.

This maybe what the instructions are referring to:
Once you have a good seal and some packing of the cylinder, lightly pull the cylinder in and out, as if it was your wang.

Can anyone answer this? Yes you should kegal in the cylinder?
Would it be too much, too soon for a newbie?

Just got my pump too! I pumped for 5 minutes at a time at about 3-5” hg for 4 sets with a few minutes of jelqing in between. The rests are definitely a good idea as the stagnant blood pumped in has a chance to exchange itself for oxygen rich blood. Kegeling definitely sounds like a good idea; I’ll try tomorrow and see what it’s like. Just thinking about it, wouldn’t a local BC muscle contraction push more blood into the penis? About masturbating inside the tube.. Well I don’t know what they mean by that, but I’ve read around the site and it’s recommended to try and keep a natural erection in the tube as opposed to a strictly pumped one. I think this is to ensure there is more blood and less lymphatic fluid in the engorged penis, and “masturbating”, if not exactly rubbing the penis but further stimulating oneself in other ways, may help produce this combined pumped-natural erectile state. Ah, and yes I can’t resist the urge to masturbate after any PE session so I hope it doesn’t kill gains lol.

Aaahhh, :)
