Like I know everyone says 5 hG, but 8 hG is what has worked for me. No less than 7 hG. At 5 hG I usually kind of go soft and after 15-30 mins I don't really feel anything happening except soreness at the base.
Do you think it was the time length for sure? I mean I was definitely pumping from 1:15 pm to 4:00 pm. [I use a timer for breaks] o_o
Well... you are not going to like this but... I ALWAYS pump soft. I have to be hard to enter the pump more or less but as the tube fills, I want to be less and less aroused. So in my case, the vacuum pressure isn't to hold an erection or to see how far I can get to the top of the cylinder. The seal at the base must be secure and the quick release valve must be on tight enough but not too tight or the cylinder will lose pressure.
The pumping community is filled with 80% of the pumpers using too much pressure and being too hard or erect during their sessions. I'm not talking about you, just generalizing and trying to spew some seldom heard wisdom.
I think this is why I can get to an 8+ inch girth simply with a 2.25" tube and my penis isn't distorted into a bizarre shape. How your cock looks OUT of the tube is the mooooooooost important. NOBODY is going to see you in the tube or care how much pressure you have been using. They are only going to see the results. The majority of what I see are HUGE tube pumps but when the cock comes out, it's rather small and unimpressive. Why is this? Because of being too erect and using too much pressure.
Less pressure and pumping soft will COMPLETELY REMOVE the bizarre rubbery and gross looking donuts... the lumps... the weird shapes and the uneven appearances. GONE will be the pain at the base, along with the redness and soreness... and your size will be
bigger outside of the tube.
So.... 1:15 to 4:00am isn't insane, I do it all of the time. BUT... that is
asking for a blister(s). Just remember, blisters can't be felt but you
will feel a slight prick when they develop. Be sensitive to this and you can stop them as they occur with ice or alcohol (or Witch Hazel) applied carefully with a Q-tip. You should give the ice shotglass a try during your breaks and consider wearing a condom for the first tube if you can stand the counterpressure. Lowered pressures and doubling or increasing your breaks will work too.
There are no magic bullets but a comprehensive strategy that includes safer and smarter pumping will go miles in preventing blisters and achieving more of your size goals.
Take it from me, I am a hardgainer and have had to employ EVERY trick in the book to achieve any kind of size. I'm pumping upwards of 8.5" of girth on my bigger sessions these days and that's with a God given 5 or so inch girth before I ever started pumping. Yeah, I haven't made any length gains but that's because of having too much fat and my pubic fat pad acts like a cushion preventing any actual length gains. I am slowly losing weight but also find the time to pump less and less these days... life is just too busy.
