Pumping at higher pressure

I have been pumping at pressure of 10 mmHg for past few months and being accustomed to it, successfully avoiding blisters and lasting longer, up to an hour now. Noticed I had longer flaccid hand temporary length gains too.

Earlier however, I have been pumping at much higher pressure ~ 25 mmHg before realizing I have been using the wrong scale on my pump.

Perhaps now I’m accustomed to higher pressure, thinking to go back to higher pressure, incrementally. Has anyone been pumping at much higher pressure with length gain?

Please check your gauge again. Do you mean inHg?

There’s a whole thread on high pressure pumping that I bumped recently.

Demn, I made the same mistake again!

And yes, I mean inHg !

You mean thoughtfulgold’s PE4F High pressure pumping thread. That’s a scary one. Just not sure why he wanted to use a huge electrical pump instead manual/ hand pump? I still could generate up to 25 inHg using my pump with a Leluv flared base cyclinder.

@Farhan8831

Have you noticed a positive or negative effect on your EQ?

I pump on 10 inHg, and have for several months… i keep a heating pad around the tube and never go over 30 minutes… i dont suggest this to anyone, but i know my body and its limits…. i pack the tube usually in 10ish minutes..

I’ve been doing long sessions of 2+ hours, cycling between high and low pressure throughout, beginning with heat to try to stretch it out and make it as full and long as possible, then spending the rest of the time without heat just trying to make the gains permanent

I only do this every other day, though

I found every day pumping, even when doing low pressure and time, to not be very effective for me

……just something for those who have tried everything and haven’t found something that works yet… You might experiment

I don’t think there’s anything scary about it but yeah I’ve been cycling between 27hg and 5hg with my manual pumps

I am curious about your statement on use of heat. I am relatively new to this and I have been using heat throughout my sessions (currently 2x20min). Should I not be using heat the whole time? Does removing the heat for the last part of a session accomplish something physiologically that wouldn’t be accomplished by having heat applied the entire time?

Current theory is that the heat allows remodelling of the tissues and removing the heat prior to the end of the session then allows the tissues to “set” in the extended state after remodelling

That is great info. Thank you.
