what am i doing wrong

[Potentialwalrus Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Potentialwalrus]

ive been trying to improve thickness for about 2 years now. doing consistent jelqing and edgeing about 3 times a week, and taking a couple weeks off from time to time. im using a lighter grip and doing progressive overload. basically nothing has changed over these two years, and im under 5” circumference so its really starting to fuck with me. just wish something reliably worked, any advice?

tried pumping or clamping?

2 years seems like too long to do the same exercise over and over again.

If you seriously want some girth, start reading all you can about clamping. Time to get into a good clamping routine. Just learn how to do, start slowly but be consistent. In six months or a year you should have some great gains to show for your work. Clamping sure worked for me. I started around 4.5 inches and now I'm 5.7 heading for 6 inches. I hope that helps.

Actually, I think clamping done intelligently is totally safe. I guess if you put a clamp on and fell asleep, you'd be in trouble...so don't clamp in bed when you're sleepy. I got a blood blister from using my bathmate which sidelined me for a long time.
Clamping on the other hand, though an advanced from of PE, is safe if you know what you're doing. So, read and learn about clamping. Make sure you're conditioned and ready for clamping. Start slowly. I started with 5 minute clamps, then gradually increased to 15 minute continuous clamps. Over time, I clamped for much longer than that, but always making sure sensation and color were acceptable. Today I clamped for 30 minutes with a short break after the first 15 minutes. About a few hours later, I clamped for another 15 minutes. When I'm in clamping mode, I try to clamp at least 15 minutes once a day, but sometimes I will do an hour clamped throughout the day. There are risks if you don't know what you're doing. You can always release the clamp or just loosen a notch or two. I probably loosen a notch during every session when I kegel to the point where I am achieving maximum expansion. Clamping works. Clamping is fun. My favorite form of PE for sure. I know I've gotten serious girth gains from clamping, and it was fun.

A ULI is like a manual clamp. I did these before clamping to condition myself for clamping. I do a sliding ULI in both directions when I'm clamped. I basically form an OK grip around the base of my shaft, tighten it and then very slowly move toward my glans. It try to take about 20 seconds to get to my glans. This forces blood up my shaft. I loosen my OK grip when it feels too tense. A reverse ULI starts the same way with an OK grip behind my glans and then slowly slides down my shaft to my base. Obviously lube is necessary. Since I'm continuously edging while clamped, I'm using lube throughout my clamp sessions.

I got immediate girth gains from a hand pump...

I don't know if that helps they only cost like 15$..

I recommend if you have a foreskin no longer than 20 minutes though.

You are not doing anything with enough intensity. Basically you are just massaging your dick. I was like that for months, I was doing jelqing and edging, and although my dick looked a little firmer from the improved EQ, which was already very very good, and little more veiny, the tape was not showing any measured change.

Once I started doing more intense exercises like Ulis, Horse Squeezes and Slow Squash Jelqs ( personal favorite ), I started gaining girth. Actual tissue mass, not improved EQ, I was already diamond hard. Also whats important is the way you do the exercises. For me, doing them with intensity , i.e. harder stronger grip, focusing on each rep was a key

Goat can i ask the dates of your gains?

[theGOAT Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close theGOAT]

From around mid of 2017 until mid of 2018 ...

Test out exercises and see which one gives you the highest degree of temporary expansion during and after a session. This will give you an idea of how effective it'll be at targeting permanent girth gains over time.

This is also assuming you're improving on EQ as well.

Thanks all for the great replies. I read them all a while back and have implemented ULI’s into my workout. not yet comfortable with clamping. Sometimes i get scared to squeeze too hard! how do i know im applying enough pressure?

[Potentialwalrus Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Potentialwalrus]

Ive been doing them every other day. is that enough?
