Clamping vs Pumping

[littlefriend Member Find all posts View Profile Close littlefriend]

I was thinking about adding more girth work to my routine. Is one of these methods more effective on average? Can you do both?

Seems your question got ignored for a long period of time here.

Anyway: clamping is by far the best choice in that we're talking here of internal pressure to the outside which builds tissues via expansion.

Pumping on the other hand is relatively ineffective as all it does is create girth from body fluids predominately to the dermal layers that are reabsorbed when the vacuum is removed leaving no benefit.
I read a new members report that he had been pumping for years with no tangible results which confirmed my own experience.

compine them and your girth will explode.i do my pumping routine first.and then i do clamping.you use for your benefit the fact you are expanded from pumping.i do 3x10 min clamping(i just do some masasge on my penis while its clamped)and the expansion after the whole routineis over 0,7 inches

so which route should I take for introducing clamping into my routine. Currently I just do srtetching and jelqing 30 min sets each. Im going to be finished with my conditioning period in two weeks. I was thinking of adding the bathmate as a warm down. Then after a month just trading out bathmate for clamping, then both together like wazedi2.

Is this a safe route?

I've heard clamping is high risk/high reward

Any advice would be MUCH appreciated

This is only true if you are pumping 6hg and higher but if you pump at 4hg then you will not get edema and will get girth gains.

Bro vacutech is useless you need a pump with a pressure gauge or ypu will never be able to get the pressure you need. Besides you cant use bathmate anywhere you want either.

Vacutech sells pump with pressure gauge you can buy them separately or in a package type of deal.

Guys, you don't seem to get it, pumping only expands the dermal layers and really doesn't do anything internally. Believe me the dermal layer expands easily from internal pressure from clamping and offers no resistance to speak of to clamping expansion.

You'll notice that it takes typically 2 or 3 sets of clamping before expansion is realized. Further sets will not only maintain that expansion but will then produce the gains down the road that your looking for. Gains to become permanent will need to be reinforced daily for at least a two week period without interruptions because we don't have a means to keep things engorged over a long period like we do with length work utilizing an ADS between hanging sets. My recommendation is to try and accomplish a clamping set twice a day if possible. What we're trying to do is fake the bodies healing cycle to an incomplete status until our girth goal is reached and then carry out a cementing routine for at least two weeks.

I will have to disagree that pumping does not provide girth gains. If done at low hg it can work.

The problem is that too many want instant gratification from it and they over do it.

That being said, clamping is a great way to gain girth. I have combined them and together they are fantastic.

Ah crap, I may have to get over my fear of clamping... I'm still going to try pumping plus manuals first before I move to clamping because I've seen too many people who seem to do well that type of routine and pumping seems far less risky to me (having never done either one for full disclosure).

BigO, I thought you made a pretty solid gain with pumping (not including clamping). Am I wrong on that?

[namsokiek Banned Find all posts View Profile Close namsokiek]

I have found that pumping alone did not product gains for me.

However, if I had a thorough warm-up, did some manual girth exercises, then pumped I had fantastic results. (see my routine below)

I agree with BigO, low pressure pumping can expand the CC and CS appreciably with a slower onset of edema.

My advanced girth routine follows the principle of heat/manual/pump. Although pretty advanced, it can be adapted to an intermediate exercise by using less advanced manual exercises, like ulis or even as a follow-on to a great jelqing routine.

Pumping can help produce gains; but don't think that you can abandon manual work.

yeah pumping than clamping is the best....i think that by clamping u hold the blood brought by pumping and u give to your dick the chance to feed of it...the expansion is amazing and longer lasting...WOOOW

Totally agree!
Pumping is not known as a dependable means for permanent girth expansion. From my experience, no more than good blood circulation and external edema build up. VED (vacuum erection device) design is for temporary, external aid in achieving/maintaining an erection for men with ED, not as a girth device. However, I must admit they quickly produce a big, fat goober immediately after each session! We all want a fat dick ASAP, unfortunately the girth generated through VED pumping is temporary, rarely known for anything permanent. Commonly used to chub one's self for sex or display...male porn stars/strippers. Very similar to lip/nipple/breast pumps that women use.

Clamping on the other hand is proven to be a very effective means for permanent girth gains; no doubt the most popular girth exercise. I trust this is because the internal tissues are targeted, usually resulting in permanent girth gains. The immediate results are not as motivating as pumping, but the long term results are permanent. If you want to focus your time on permanent girth gains asap, then stick with clamping.

If you want to play around with both for aesthetic fun reasons, then try pumping after two or three clamping sessions. Everyone involved will be happy with the temporary, but only you will be satisfied with something permanent.

Make an informed decision but be safe.

Angus i don t understand why pumping doesn t give permanent gains...it forces the blood in to the unit and constrict it to remain in it...like an half point between jelq and clamp...i m sure that u can gain only by pumping but gains are maximized if after u can okd blood and his vitamins and nutriens to feed your dick...but u have to be careful not to pump too much blood because u can broke capillars and make edema and bad discoloration....shit i hate it
