Okay, so, I woke up and the first thing I did was measure as accurately as I could.
I’ve not really ever tried to get a totally accurate girth measurement as I’ve always been focused on length. I’ve measured just to keep an eye on things but not really with a view to making comparisons on a day to day or week to week basis. From here on out that’s going to be my priority.
These are effectively my starting stats for multi cable-clamp clamping:
My BPEL is 7.75" (I know, that’s a massive jump from what I thought I measured when I resumed the practice about 20 days ago. I think EQ might have been a factor in that, plus I’ve just put myself on a strict low-carb diet that’s potentially reducing my fat-pad quite rapidly.).
My girth measurements, straight out of bed, before any kind of exercise and with the only girth work I’ve done for the last two days being jelqing (no clamping or pumping since November 29th))…
Top of shaft: 5.25"
Mid-Shaft: 5.125"
Base girth: 5.5"
I obtained this base girth measurement by pulling the tape tight to compress both the extra skin where the skin of the penis transitions into that of the scrotum, and to compress two large dorsal veins on either side of the base of the shaft. I believe they’re the external pubic veins (which I previously mistook for the obturator vein in this diagram: https://en.wiki pedia.org/wiki/ … le:Gray1159.png ). I took pains to pull the measuring tape tight enough to compress these veins etc. without pulling so hard as to deform or constrict the tunica.
Had I taken the measurement using a millimetre scale It would probably have caused me to use a finer pressure to obtain the measurements but, with one sixteenth of an inch (which can be judged quite sufficiently by eye) being only 1.5875mm, I’m happy with the accuracy of the imperial scale.
So, those are my starting stats for multi clamp clamping.
I’ll be clamping at the base, and then clamping every half inch up to the point where my mid-shaft begins to widen into the distal top-end. This top end I’ll leave unclamped. Per set I’ll alternate between using two clamps at the base and one clamp at the base, so as to be able to offset the clamps at 0.25" intervals in order to maximise the area of effect the clamps should have. The reasoning for this configuration is to try and even out the radial growth along the length of the shaft, and more specifically, to try and restrict radial growth at the distal end. This reasoning is based on two assumptions:
1. Clamps, having reportedly been shown to increase the girth of the section of the shaft they’re clamped to, should have that effect on my penis (I should reiterate that this is an assumption on my part).
2. Any kind of clamping, even with just a single clamp attached at the base, will cause a faster rate of radial growth at the distal (top end) of the shaft (this is an assumption I actually want to try and get some consensus on from the forum.)
Also, clamping in this way, should also promote longitudinal growth, which I do want but not at the expense of girth.
Should the rate of longitudinal growth exceed the rate of radial growth, I’ll switch to starting each clamping set with a clamp at the distal end of the shaft, below the glans, as this is reported to restrict longitudinal growth. The drawback with this approach is that it reportedly increases the rate of radial growth at the distal end of the penis.
I’ll begin with multi clamp, cable clamp clamping, monitoring growth closely. If radial growth occurs at such a speed as to potentially exceed the limit I’ve set for radial size (6" diameter) I’ll switch to Xenolith’s Tiger Trap to see if it’ll get me a more favourable length to girth growth rate ratio.
I’m going to be switching to an IPR protocol for this exercise, and need to do a little more research focused specifically on IPR protocols for clamping. I hope to be able to configure a routine within the next few days. Once that’s done and I’m ready to begin, I’ll probably switch back to the IPR progress thread I previously started, leaving a link to that thread at the end of this one.

Thanks. :)
I was thinking this might be of interest to people for that very reason.
I feel like I’ve got straight back into the groove and it’s all come back to me, the difference being that my penis feels soft and pliant, more flexible and more springy (like a spring (where before it was like a piece of cord hanging off of my body)) and it’s like I can feel the potential for growth. By the time I’d stopped the first time around it felt like a toughened piece of cord that I just used for hanging weights off of. Now it feels alive and responsive and in a lot of ways more delicate.
Also, I found where you got that 7" flaccid length measurement from. It was an error in the post; I got the bone pressed and stretched flaccid measurements conflated and had to ask one of the moderators to alter it for me. Really sorry about that. I must admit I was a bit baffled by it when you commented on it. lol
Sorry about that :)
