One prolonged session better than multiple sessions?

For me it is. The whole multiple set thing makes sense in my head. That’s the way I started pumping, that’s the way I lift weights. Shit, even with cardio I interval train. But where pumping is concerned, I’m finding that multiple sets (with jelqs in between) really aint the way for me to get maximum expansion.

My trip is this: When I do multiple sets, the unit flags too much in between “sets”. I end up spending way too much time trying to achieve the previous level of expansion on my next set, and even more during subsequent “sets”. I also find that if I do three sets, that by the third, it becomes really hard to achieve the expansion of my first set at all, unless, say, I do something like crank the pressure up really high. This, of course, seems to lead to post-pumping shrinkage and a generally over fatigued feeling to my dick- not good.

I have also considered the fact that all of this time coming out of the tube and then getting back up to size isn’t exactly, “keeping the penis at it’s maximum extended state for the maximum allowable (health-wise) amount of time” because you’re spending time slacking off and plumping back up. However, it does feel great to get out of the tube and is definitely great for circulation- pinky/red coloration being vastly superior to purplish/black.

So what to do?

Now I do the interval of time that I used to spend in “sets”- about 25 minutes- in one long, continuous set which I occasionally interrupt VERY BRIEFLY just to clear the vacum, slather on a little more lube, and push it back into the tube. In this way, my expansion has been skyrocketing, my PI’s have been very positive, my coloration in the tube is good, and I end up with a MASSIVE plump which stays quite juicy enough afterwards to do 100 jelq/kegels with. Where I had formerly been struggling to expand to 7.25 in the tube, I now regularly hit 7.5. All pumper’s PI’s from this are positive.

My body is telling me that multiple sets is not the way forward for me. One mega-set punctuated by several QUICK pressure release incidents is WAY better.

Just thought I’d put it out there in case someone else has noticed the same thing or might want to try something else for awhile to switch it up. As far as I’m concerned, it’s brought my in-tube expansion up very nicely.

Let me understand, you do one set of 25 minutes but during this set you push your penis out of the tube, put some lube and then go back into the tube. Am I wrong?

If you do so, when you take this little breaks, don’t you loss your expansion?

Personally I prefer 2 sets of 15-20 minutes each, but your method seems interesting.

I usually do 3 to 5 sets anywhere from 15 to 25 minute each set. I get great expansion this way, but I have found that I get better expansion with continual heat. I agree with your method but how many 25 minute sets are you doing and are you using any heat? I also go into the tube rock hard(I’ll edge if I have to) and just milk the tube to try and maintain it.

No, you got it. Rather than do my 25 minutes in the tube in 3 sets, I do the whole thing, less the coming out of the tube, consecutively.

Although I lose a little bit of my expansion, within less than a minute I’m right back to where I was. Whereas if I come out of the tube to jelq and stay out for a few minutes, getting back to where I was becomes more difficult. It’s like my dick retracts and it then takes effort to get it back out there to where it was again.

I’m going to work with this one big set idea and see where it takes me. In a couple weeks I’m going to see if I can bump it up to 30 minutes and so on.

It seems to me like a few good pumping gainers (supersizeit comes to mind) who worked up their routines without the aid of forums back in the day all eventually wound up doing very prolonged sets (sometimes up to an hour) in which they would only pop out of the tube very briefly to get some fresh blood in there. It makes a lot of sense to me. Length gains from being in the tube are, after all, basically the result of holding a prolonged stretch, are they not? To me it would then seem like keeping your dick elongated for the longest and most continuous amount of time would be a good thing so long as it didn’t lead to negative PI’s.

Listen to your body. I don’t think that there is one universally correct answer for everyone on this, but it sounds like you’ve found a very good answer for you.

Thanks for sharing this; the more we know about what works, the better off we all are.

Any update on this wantsmore?

Totally agree, even more so (as I have posted elsewhere) using elliptical tubes which require alot of expansion to pack. Almost impossible to do with short sets at safe pressure, it’s a slow process. That being said, I will also accept the fact that everyone is different and has different goals/equipment which is obvious of course.
