This is from very experienced pumpers who own pumptoys.com… great info! I did the 5 min at 5 psi, 30 sec at 1 psi for about an hour and a half as I watched tv ( I used a timer on my phone). It worked great and I wasn’t sore at all. I typically pump to hard I think… the pump, release method works great.

TIME AND THE PUMPING PROCESS
Many pumpers feel that they grow fast in the early part of a pump session, then seem to "Plateau" or reach a point where enlargement either stops or greatly slows down. It would seem logical to say that the longer you pump, the larger you would get. Not necessarily true!

The question is one of effective time. "Effective" means any time when the flow and gain of fluids that cause enlargement is taking place at the desired rate, and that is not something that occurs continually. Effective time also varies in the level of efficiency- as the flow reduces, the level drops. Pumping up faster or larger is a factor of effective time only. Time spent in the pump that's not effective is totally wasted.

This fluid flow and gain process that creates enlargement is restricted by the pumping operation itself, in these three ways:

  • As swelling takes place, tissues are engorged- including those of the passageways bringing fluid in, actually reducing the diameters of those passageways.

  • There is a pinching pressure attempting to close these passageways right at the point where the cylinder entry meets your body. The passageways are part of the tissue being compressed by the sealing surface of the tube.

  • It is further complicated by another easily demonstrated process, that of "vacuum collapse". Take a soft tube, and connect it to your vac pump. With an open end, it will suck indefinitely. Now squeeze the tube down in the middle. As the opening gets narrower, two things happen. One, the flow through the restriction reduces- and two, the vac level on the restricted portion increases. There comes a point where the internal vacuum itself pulls the tube closed- and all flow stops.
All of these conditions combine to either restrict or stop the process of enlargement. The longer the condition lasts, the tighter the restriction can get- and thereby further reducing the level of effectiveness, ultimately ending effective time altogether. The issue is one of making all the time in the pump effective time, and maximizing the level of that effectiveness.

HOW DO YOU FIND OUT WHAT WORKS?
We did an experiment to try and measure the extent of this. To determine exactly what gain was occurring, we went to Displacement Pumping. (Explained in another Advanced Pumping Article) Two pumpers who run close to the same in size and usual enlargement rate provided the comparisons. We selected the one that usually pumped up faster as the control subject; and the slower one as the test subject. Both used STJ's as cylinders, and both pumped wet with precisely the same level of water in the jar. Both jars were marked for measurement by adding water that had been precisely measured and creating a CC (Cubic Centimeter) scale on the side The scale started with the zero set at the water mark with the jar vertical and inverted, with enough water to cover the pumper. As the enlargement develops, it displaces water and raises the level on the scale- precisely measuring the volume of change. We did this experiment on four occasions using different schedules each time, with substantially different results.

The control subject would pump at a vac level of 5", and hold it for 60 minutes.

The test subject would pump at the same vac level, but would interrupt the session with an alternate state as called for by the experiment schedule.

The result is measured in relative terms:
The change in volume (actual gain) of the test subject, as compared to the control subject expressed as a plus or minus percentage. The volume of the control subject's gain over the zero mark would always be 100. If the test subject developed 10% less gain, the test score would be 90%. If the gain was identical, the score would be 100%; if the gain was 10% more, the score would be 110%. The "Relative effectiveness" is the score points gained per minute; obtained by dividing the score by the time at level.

Four test schedules were tried, as follows:

  1. Break at 15 minute intervals, exit and massage 2 minutes, return to vac level. (3 breaks)

  2. Reduce vac level to zero once every 15 minutes, hold zero for 1 minute, return to level.

  3. Reduce vac to zero every once every 10 minutes, hold zero for 1 minute, return to level.

  4. Reduce vac to 1" every 5 minutes, hold for 30 seconds, return to level.
Here's the scorecard of the test subject for these tests:

SCHEDULE SCORE TIME @ LEVEL RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS
CONTROL 100 60 MINUTES 1.66
#1 108 54 MINUTES 2.00
# 2 111 57 MINUTES 194
# 3 121 54 MINUTES 2.24
# 4 133 54 MINUTES 2.46
SO-WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
In every schedule, taking breaks to restore circulation and relieve the closure resulted in faster net gain. Frequent reliefs of vacuum for short intervals are the most effective overall. The indication is that a sort of pulse-pumping with intervals is far more effective than constant pressure. It's also logical to conclude that if the test had run for a two-hour period, the second hour score increases would have been greater than the first, because the loss of effectiveness in the control subject would be somewhat accumulative or progressive.

One other note- the subjects were sitting and not active during the tests. Activity would help relieve some of the restriction problems. It's commonly recognized that being erect while in cylinder is more effective than a sitting position. This is due to the weight of the cylinder pulling downward, helping to reduce the pressure the vacuum can exert against the body in the seal area, thereby creating less restriction to fluid flow.

If you feel you have reached your "plateau", try the take-a-break system; get your fluid passages open again, and- pump on!

intersting, as i'm mostly sitting or liying down when pumping. duly noted.

Yea this is the theory behind the CTC brand electronic pumps. I have their newest model and it essentially raises and lowers the pressure in specific intervals. You can program it on your PC any way you like. Have t had enough time to really evaluate its efficacy but they seem to know their stuff

Just tried this for 60 mins whilst sat watching a movie. Used protocol #4. Really good results. Best I have had whilst sat. Will try a 120 minute routine later. Thank you for the information.

For schedule #4, what does it mean to go to 1" every 5 mins? Is it just minimal pressure, but not zero? Thanks.
Yes, that's what i'm doing, lower the pressure to 1 or so but never zero.

So far it's the schedule that gave me some gain after a while. I can say it's working great for me, i'm following the 4th shcedule since october and i have fuller and longer flaccid and my EQ skyrocketed, also gained something in girth.

I can say this schedule really allow much more control over pressure and give better result that usual practise, even with longer session of 50-60 min i don't have almost any fluid retention and got a fuller bulge that i can keep without any issue of turtling now that got quite cold here.

I had to stop 2 weeks of december for a bad flu but i don't see any loss from my latest pumping sessions, and i'm now thinking to buy a tighter cylinder to focus more on lenght, hoping this schedule can help in that sense.

I use a routine similar to #4.

I am working for length and head girth.

I use a 2¼ tube. (snug fit pre pump,I have to release air as I enter it hard pre pump). And I place a silicone cock ring around the flange base

warm-up round I slowly pump to 10 inHg over 1 miniute hold for 1 minute and release. (Adjust cylinder to insure good lube coverage no sticky spots as my shaft is fully compressed on cylinder) usualy takes about a minute.

Cycle 1
Pump to 15 inHg. Do Keigles (10) 2-3 second reps, release pressure to 10 inHg hold for 4 minutes, release pressure to 1 or 2 inHg for 1 minute.

Cycle 2
Pump to 20 inHg. Do Keigles (10) 2-3 second reps, release pressure to 12 inHg hold for 4 minutes, release pressure to 1 or 2 inHg for 1 minute.

Cycle 3
Pump to 25 inHg. Do Keigles (10) 2-3 second reps, release pressure to 12 inHg hold for 4 minutes, release pressure and remove cylinder. preform Jelq for 5 minutes.

Repeat Cycle 1-3 until I start to get edema doughnut under glands.

when you reach your last Cycle with pump at 2 inHg pull up on cylender and push cock ring off base of cylinder onto you cock, finish last cycle and wear cock ring untill your election subsidies try for 5 miniutes don't exceed 15 min with cockring on.

2 inHg = 1 psi
Do not exceed your comfort level with pressure.

I can't believe you are pumping at that pressure? especially if your just starting out

I have been pumping on and off for years. Hell there are photos of me using a bathmate on my profile from 2020.

I do that routine twice a day. Once in the morning, before work around 4:30 am , and agian when I get home after a hot shower around 6pm.

I take rest days if my non pumped erection feels sore or isn't rigid.

Sounds wild to me, even if i'm used to pump i can't even touch those pressures, GG! Looking at your pics i'm quite sure you can get good results focusing on length, just try to keep you peepee safe.

I prefer a softer approach since i got some injuries back in the days of hardcore PE (huge edema on gland, not fun to have), and in all honesty i found much more benefit in not reaching that point of doughnut edema. My dick feel and looks swollen and longer and it don't looks like a sausage.

I usually start with some manual stretch in all directions plus some more advanced stretch, then go into the tube and stay between 5-10Hg, got almost no fluid build up after 50-60 min, just get sure to feel a good tension when pumping and use a cock ring too after every session.

I end up with a doughnut after about 30-35 minutes, dosent matter if I pump low pressure, high pressure or variable pressures. I ALWAYS stop if I feel any discomfort.

I have recently been thinking about going to a 2½" oval tube to finish my sessions. So I would do my typical length workout and replace my last cycle with the oval tube.
Does anyone have any experience with oval tubes?

The higher the pressure, the more hypoxic the environment inside the tube. Hypoxia leads to depressed synaptic activity and neuronal cell death.

One will not be able to accurately “feel” the tissue damage at high pressures due to reduced nerve function and possible nerve damage.

Pulsing up and down is probably the only safe way to use high pressures and that is only pulsing at a high amplitude frequency of no more than a few seconds at peak values.
