I9,
I rarely measure as it leads to OCD behavior on my part. Plus it cause a fair amount of frustration as I remember when I first started PE I was gaining very marginally. So I can only tell you that I have gained since I started pumping but not how much. Like many who pump, I think gains have been better girthwise, but I’m hoping as I fill the tube more easily that length gains will slowly pick up.
The cable clamp that I’m referring to is from a post of about a year ago. You should be able to find it flipping back through the main page — it was a post with lots of posts. The clamp serves as an uli type device that can generate quite a lot of pressure, so be careful. You can get them from Home Dept for about two bucks. The one I have has a screw down top and is made of black plastic. I use theraband as a wrap underneath. My best pumps come when I alternate the pumping and the squeezes. I do some jelqing but not too much. Partly, it’s a boredom/laziness thing, but also I lose my erection pretty quickly, even with porn on.
The prinicple I’m trying to mimic is to expand the tissue through a combination of external pressure — the pump — and internal pressure — jelq/squeeze. It’s nothing new, a reiteration of what avocet and others have pointed out for a long time, but the combination is what I feel works best for me.
Good luck with your efforts. As I learned and continue to learn, slow and steady wins the race.
