Pumping Only Routine

Hey guys,

Been experimenting with pumping for a few months now. My first experiment was only 12 O Bends + 30min Pumping for 5 weeks. Gained some length but lost a slight amount of girth (compared to when I was previously doing O Bends and SupraSlammers). Then I did 5 weeks of 12 SS’s + 45 Pumping….gained some length again and got my girth back. Then I did 5 weeks of 8 O Bends + 8 SS’s + 45min pumping….gained a bit more length but still no girth and maybe a slight loss.

Anyway, I am trying 2 more experiments….6 weeks of just pumping and then 6 weeks of no pumping and just doing the manual work again. Right now I’m doing the 6 weeks of pumping and am on week 2. Just wanted to know if you guys have suggestions for making the best results possible. So far I’m not sure I’m getting anything from pumping alone.

I started with a 2 week break from PE completely then have done the following. All days start with a 5min jelq warm up and 5min jelq cool down

Day 1-6: 4 days of 30min x 5Hg + 1 day 50min x 3Hg + 1 day off
Day 7-10: 3 days of 40min x 5Hg + 1 day 60min x 3hg
Day 11-13: 3 days of 45min x 5Hg
Days 14-18: Started pulsing where I do 4min at 5hg and 1 minute at 7hg and repeat for 8 rounds (40min) and planned to have every 4th day be 75+min at 3hg

So the idea being now I’ll be adding pulses and working up in time and pressure. I figured my intense days could eventually work up to 10hg for the pulses and my long days could work up to 90min or so at 3Hg.

What do you guys think? Would you change anything? From what I’ve heard there is a lot of debate as to whether or not one can gain from pumping alone (or in my case pumping with some mild jelqing)

I said it before, when you asked me this same question. Pumping alone can yield gains, but only at an extreme end of pressure or Frequency and Durations. Otherwise, it simply doesn’t do it by itself.

There are guys who gained from just air pumping but the methods require attention to detail, staging into different tubes, usually a heat source for the tube and once again, extreme pressures or Frequency and Durations.

Hey man, yea I definitely appreciate you giving me feedback. Just figured I’d post it on the main forum to see if there were additional suggestions.

I think realistically I will in fact have to go back to more manual work unfortunately but I’ll still try this experiment since it doesn’t hurt anything. What kind of extreme pressures and durations are we talking here?

In the PE4F thread, he went past 20HG for periods under a minute and cycled it a certain way. Heat is not required for this, at least I didn’t see it in his notes.

Titleist, among others, champions extreme durations of over an hour daily. With comfort in view, of course. And none of this matters if you don’t use a heating pad on the tube.

Neither method works without graduating up to the durations or pressures desired.

Pumping only works 1 of 2 ways. Or…you pump for pleasure, at low pressure and at low durations. This doesn’t net gains for long, if it nets gains for the user. Though it can be used to combat EQ decline in older men. Usually, if someone starts at low pressure and duration they graduate up into one of the two methods detailed before. The device is a simple one, not a ton of variations for productive work seem to exist for it.

Productive work can be done with it. But it isn’t efficient, by itself, compared to other methods that use it as a complimentary force. Especially later on in a PE journey, when entry level methods tend to stall the most.

It does not look like you are taking any rest days when you PE, so perhaps you are doing too much and do not allow the tissues to heal.

My only concern would be as others have said about rest. I notice after about 4 weeks of pumping and clamping with little rest my penis stops responding.

Once I started pumping I was planning on making my “off” days the low intensity long duration pumping days (60-90min at 3hg)…..I had heard many people say not to take off days when pumping. Do you guys not agree with that?

Having said that, due to life circumstances there has been the occasional off day on average once every 5th day or so I’d say.

If you are doing marathon sessions I’d recommend a minimum of 2-3 days off a week. On those days off, edging with heat is recommened. That’s from my personal experience.

As stated above heat is key. I attribute most of my gains to pumping but only when done properly. Warm up before going into the tube both with heat and some light jelqing and stretching then Ive done everything from high pressure short sets to low pressure marathons. I respond best to moderate pressure and 25-30 minute sets but would only do those when conditioned.

Where did you here no off days from pumping? I think your confused with hanging

6 days in the tube wrecks my EQ. Flat out. I won’t go more than 2 on, ever, with a pump. That’s me.

Is it possible you are over-pumping in time and/or vac pressure, during your sessions? Everything I’ve read suggests that when pumping, less is more.

What do you consider a marathon session in terms of length of time and pressure?

I warm up with a warm rice-filled sock for 3-5min along with jelqing before going into the pump. Do you apply heat during the pumping too? The only way I could really do that is to keep warming up a sock.

I don’t know specifically where but have heard it numerous times I believe

Interesting, I’ve not had any EQ problems but I’m happy to take more time off if it will help / not hinder progress.

A marathon to one may be a sprint to another. For me it’s two hours.

Heat is essential during pumping. Wrap the cylinder with an electric heating pad. You could also use a forced hot air heater.

Taking a few days off will show in gains.
