Pumping?

I just want to add that my cylinder has lines every 1/2 inch so I know what my ideal length is. So in addition to pumping at a desired vacuum, somewhere under 5, I visually know where to stop my initial pumping and watch it grow on its own to my maximum pumped length. It then usually recedes slightly as the vacuum is slightly reduced in reaction to the volume increase of my penis. I than pump back up to my max line or return to the desired vacuum level. The two desired max levels (HG or length) act as a double safety check. Over time the desired pumped line will hopefully need to be adjusted.

If your cylinder is not marked with lines, you can use adhesive/painters tape to mark your place. It is also a good idea to maintain your initial tape mark to refer to later when your latest max line is further out on the tube.

I started a little over 2 months ago - pumping

After about 6 weeks, I packed a 2.00" tube and was very comfortable leaving at 7 hg, and spiking to 12 and holding only for 5 seconds or so, before reducing back to 7 hg

Graduated to the 2.25" tube and find that 5 hg is comfortable, and will spike a few times to 7, and once or twice to 12

I got up to 4 sets of 10 minutes, but recently backed down to 3 sets. (do daily, and only miss about 1 time per month so far)

I have made about 1/2 - 3/4 lentgh increase, and thickness has increased slightly

Also EQ has actually improved.

Any feedback would be appreciated

Also, my gauge has a green zone, then yellow zone. The green zone intercepts the yellow zone at around 7 hg (Kaplan pumps, gauges, and cylinders - very well built) The yellow zone ends around 12 hg

Great info. I just ordered a small 1.5 in tube. I read that would be better to get longer. I really want to gain an inch as soon as possible. Every time I sit down I turtle and it is very uncomfortable. So I need all the help I can get.

The last two times I went in erect and within a few minutes it went limp. Is that normal?

it is normal to not be erect the entire time you are in, I would use your imagination or maybe even a picture of a hottie. I am erect when I enter the tube but usually am not when I am finished with a set.

I usually do 7 lbs at 20 minutes for one set

Irishfan, please explain in detail what your routine is, I have been pumping too, but lack any lasting results.
perhaps i'm doing something wrong. Would appreciate it. Thank you.

Well, I only pump before sex. I have only gained 1/2 in and all I do is the jp90 and some light hanging. I think the gain is due to better erection. I was only getting 70% I would say I am at 90% now
