Buckfever's General Progress Log

Interestingly that study on the optimal pressure suggests that 100mmhg which is about 4 inhg provides no therapeutic effect. They’re suggesting at least 150mmhg which is 5.9.

I don’t know, based on the knowledge here that seems high. I guess I would have to think about what pressure can be tolerated that does not cause the red dots and edema.

Petechiae and edema are a function of time and negative pressure. You can juggle them to some degree.

I have worked up from 1.5" to 5" over the last four years, with excellent gains. I’m not solely a pumper, but definitely primarily.

So letting this marinate since the morning. Clinical research being what it is, I’m not a rat. I’m going to defer to the vast judgment and experience of the members here and stick with the 4 in/hg and I’ll stick with the 2 X 5 minute sessions with the 2 minute rest for now. I’ll let progress, EQ and the observation of operating below the formation of red dots and edema, be the guide.

5 minutes @ 4hg
2 minute rest
5 minutes @ 5hg

Length: 6-7/8"
Pack 2-1/2"

No edema
No red dots

On the second set I pumped a little bit past so I left it. More length and more packing today. Kind of thinking that I would like to see if over time we can get to 2 sessions at 200mm/hg. But deferring to the idea of avoiding red dots, edema and monitoring EQ. Unfortunately I’m not hooking up that much lately although this past weekend was good. What I can say is that getting to a good erection on these mornings has gotten way easier. So there’s no ill effects so far. Post session everything looks good

I lost my balance and stubbed my pinky toe real bad, I don’t think it’s broken because I can move it but it is an ugly shade of purple and the foot is swollen. Don’t know how long it will take till I can run again. That’s a bummer, I was on a roll.

6/14/2024

5 minutes @ 4hg
2 minute rest
5 minutes @ 5hg

Length: 6-7/8+"
Pack 2-3/8+"

Same pattern a bit more length a little less packing.

The ability to bring up the arousal in preparation for the tube is definitely enhanced, Is it the pumping? I don’t know but certainly there doesn’t seem to be ill effects from it so far. I probably will at some point see if I can ramp up to the 200 mm/hg pressure, but I’ll have to get there incrementally and continue to assess. There’s just too much experience here saying not to ramp up too quickly.

6/14/2024

Some discoloration from the morning session. And I have a date night lined up tomorrow. So we’ll take tomorrow off and will restart Sunday taking it back to 4 HG. Got to give it a lot more time for conditioning.

6/15/2024

5 minutes @ 4hg
2 minute rest
5 minutes @ 4hg

Length: 6-7/8+"
Pack 2-1/2"

Discoloration largely resolved and since I’m likely to have a hookup tonight wanted to check the effects of 4hg on EQ. We almost saw 7" in the tube so the expansion continues with just the 4 hg so why push it anyway?

Foot injury improving but persists, probably won’t be running again till next Wednesday.

I’ve broken one little toe and dislocated the other. You don’t actually use your little toes much when walking or running, but doing so will slow the healing process a lot. You can also create problems with your lower back and other leg if you insist on gimping along anyway.

Believe it or not, "soft tissue damage" like a bad sprain or dislocation can take longer to heal than an outright break.

Yeah if it hurts to load it, I’m not going to go.

6/16/2024

5 minutes @ 4hg
2 minute rest
5 minutes @ 4hg

Length: 6-7/8+"
Pack 2-3/8+

No way I’m running on the foot yet, maybe Wednesday more likely it will take a full 10 days so Friday. EQ is very good to excellent I would say.

This pump protocol seems very interesting. I look forward to your results when 28 days is up. I’m going to start that as well. Did you ever gain from when you were doing the hanging with fire thread?

6/17/2024

5 minutes @ 4hg
2 minute rest
5 minutes @ 4hg

Length: 6-7/8+"
Pack 2-5/8"

Packed a little more. 4hg is well tolerated.

In my original journal I documented how I gained 5cm of stretched length as measured in the extender. Most of that was realized inside the first year rather quickly I did not use heat for that. I should note that I came to this because of an injury not for enlargement.

In the latest extender effort I used heat and got to full extension in the extender with a half a cm of additional extender length. but I did not get a measurement as I pushed it too hard and the attachment tissues got beat up. I’ll come back to that later this year to complete that. Pretty sure I’ve exhausted the stretched length gains. I would note that I’m older and I believe that I was regaining lost length related to aging.

Also note that the study cited as the basis for this campaign felt that the 100mm/hg or approximately 4mm/hg that I’m using is below the therapeutic level, they felt that 150 mm/hg was necessary and so they tested above that. If you look at the spirit of the research though the idea was to find the level in which there is a therapeutic effect with the minimum of adverse symptoms.

Here on this cite the experience of the members has found that 4 in/hg is a good starting point which provides expansion over time with minimal adverse effects and some members go on from there as the tissues are conditioned to add either pressure or time.

5 minutes @ 4hg
2 minute rest
5 minutes @ 4hg

Length: 6-7/8+"
Pack 2-5/8"

Not quite 7, getting close.

I wonder about the rate of progress with the pump. I’ll have to do a search.

Post session discoloration noted. Taking tomorrow off. I’m pretty ignorant about this but it strikes me that the rate of expansion is probably too rapid.

What’s the hurry?
