Getinbig DP4000 Progress Log

[getinbig Senior Member Member of the Month March 2015 Find all posts View Profile Close getinbig]

I've been on a regular pumping regimen but haven't been posting as I should.
Yesterday I did a nice 20 minute pump, rested a minute and then did two 10 minute pumps.
Pretty much packing the smaller cylinder the same way. I plan to do multiple short sessions each day separated by a short rest, but pumping for an hour total time.
Love the DP4000. I'll probably start doing some custom programs just to see how different settings feel.

Wednesday afternoon pump session
Nice session...
15 minutes...short break followed by another two 15 minute sessions with a short break...exiting cylinder, and then starting again. I started a 4th 15 minute pump in my larger cylinder. After about 8 minutes, I switched back to my smaller tube for the last 7 minutes.
I like these shorter sessions...going from pumped and packing the cylinder after a few minutes...then starting again. I quickly begin packing the cylinder. This pump is fun to use...and seems very safe. I finish without any fluid buildup or other issues...uniformly thick...
Looking forward to another session tomorrow.

I want to take the plunge too & buy myself one, can you share what accessories I better get with it? e.g. cushing, strecher, constriction ring? Don’t want to pay for shipping twice.

Good decision! I was looking to get all kinds of stuff but Chris told me to simply get the DP4000 and two cylinders. His lube was cheap, so I got it and like it. I ordered the pump and got the two cylinders for the price of one. I saved a bunch by getting his cylinders over others I was thinking about getting. I also agree with what sizes he recommended for me. I am 5.5 inches MSEG, but the 1 7/8 inch cylinder is perfect for me as I start. Once I start packing that one, I switch to my 2 1/8 inch.
I also purchased a power cord for use in Europe, but I think you should get the two cylinders and the pump...maybe try his lube if you want. The cylinders come with a cushion and are comfortable. I really don't think you need the stretcher unless you're set on using his cushions. If you get them, let me know how they work for you.
Make sure you ask Chris about the special he had on cylinders. I think I got two for the price of one. I was surprised how quickly my pump arrived. Chris has been very friendly and helpful. I'm sure you will be very happy pumping with the DP4000. It's so much better than bathmate. I'm never bruised or blotchy after using the DP4000. I also got blood blisters from using bathmate (uncontrolled pressure).
Let me know once you get your pump. Congrats on a good purchase!

Appreciate your reply. I pushed forward with the order, & got the pump with 1 7/8, 2 1/8 & 2 3/8 cylinders. I think I’m paying full price though, and my bank account ain’t happy. I’ve never tried pumping to be honest, and probably jumping the gun really. I’m just completing my first month of jp90. Would you say it’s a bit early to add pumping at my stage then?! Hold it off till I’m done with jp?

Btw I’m reading through your previous journal, when you were just starting off. Great stuff! Takes a lot of discipline to document as throughly as you you’ve done. Posterity thanks you for it!

Great that you're doing the JP90. It's a good way to get conditioned for more advanced work like clamping and pumping. You're also starting off with nice measurements. I was a lot smaller but got great newbie results. That's why I would push through the JP90 before trying clamping and pumping. Those newbie gains are great when you get them and you might miss those if you move ahead to quickly. Having said that, I would find it very difficult to have a DP4000 and not use it...
If you decide you can't wait, I would just go easy with the DP4000 and stick with the preloaded program. That program will give you a good pump.
I would try the pump to make sure it works well and then, if you can, finish at least another month of the JP90 before launching into your pumping work.
I'd also encourage you to start a log to journal your PE work. It's very helpful to look back and see what you've done...what worked well and what didn't.
I wish you well on your PE journey!

A mix of pump sessions today...all convincing me how much I like my DP4000!
I kept getting interrupted for various things today. Started with a nice 5 minute warm up pump...then another 15 minutes after a few minute break.
Later did two separate 8 minute pumps...nice. Pumping with the DP4000 is great. So easy and it feels great. Hoping to see some nice gains in the next 6 months.
Should have a nice pump workout tomorrow afternoon.

Great DP4000 session
Friday and Pumped!
I did two sessions separated by maybe a minute...first was 15 minutes, the second was about 20 minutes. Finished nice and uniformly thick with no fluid buildup or other issues.
Second session about 15 minutes later so I could set up my computer to get some screenshots for Richarddevon86...this was a nice straight 35 minute pump.
I really love pumping with the DP4000. Looking forward to another session tomorrow. Getting morning wood lately...nice.

I've been having great sessions with my DP4000. I'm now doing an hour a day. I sometimes pump for an hour straight, but I actually enjoy doing four 15 minute sessions. I take a brief break, exit the tube, reinsert, and begin the next pump. I quickly begin to pack the lower 30% of the tube in a matter of a few minutes. By 8 minutes, I'm usually about 50% packed. I have stayed with my smaller tube, but may begin switching to my larger tube for the last session. Definitely enjoying using the DP4000. It's safe and leaves me without any discoloration and uniformly thick. I've definitely been having more morning wood lately.

Great morning pump with my DP4000! I did one 15 minute pump and then a 30 minute pump with a quick break between. I like getting pumped after each break. I'm surprised at how quickly I get back to a partially packed cylinder. I switched to my larger cylinder for the "last" 15 minutes. I then broke suction again and went back in the larger tube for another 15 minutes. Finished nice and thick. This is so much better to what I was getting from my bathmate. I'm very happy with the DP4000!
Already looking forward to pumping again tomorrow morning. I'm still using the "stepped up" program...1Hg above the preloaded program at each step. It's working great.

OK, got to get the computer fired up and get the DP online.
A one up sounds good.
3yrs of pumping, am ready for a boost!

Hey! Congrats to you and your computer savy wife. You are going to find it's easy to create new programs. For now, I'd probably stick with the preloaded for a while, but if you've been pumping for 3 years, you will soon be able to make the jump to what I labeled pump #2.
I spoke with Chris today and I am going to stop with these 4 15 minute sessions and just go straight through for an hour. I have no problem doing that. The DP4000 varies the pressure throughout our sessions, so it's about as safe as a pump can be.
I'm amazed at how uniformly thick I am after each session, and fluid buildup hasn't been an issue. Really looking forward to another nice session tomorrow.

Great morning pump session. I've been doing these shorter 15 minute pumps using my DP4000. I've enjoyed these mini pumps probably because I like the idea of pumping more than once.
After talking with Chris at CTC today, I am going just do a straight hour pump each morning for a while. With the DP4000 I tolerate that very well. My plan is to do that for a while and then perhaps either lengthen the session to what I can tolerate without any issues...or maybe just add another pump in the evening.
I can see results already, and morning wood is making a comeback.
Today after my first 15 minute pump, I came out of my smaller cylinder and couldn't get back into the cylinder. I switched to the larger cylinder for the next pump. Depending on how much I'm packing the tube, I may quickly switch to my larger tube during my hour sessions at some point.
The DP4000 is a great and safe pump. I'm really enjoying it and hoping to post some nice gains in six months or so.

I've been going for one hour sessions also.
I will start packing the 2" at about 15min, but swap to the larger tube at the halfway point.
The DP4000 is awesome for getting my penis very plump, without excessive endema!
Also good color, unlike the BM with only 15min during a shower. (Which is collecting dust)
Wish I the DP years ago.
