How long before adding clamping

I have been doing a manual routine of stretching and wet jelqing since mid february. Do you veterans think it is too early to add some clamping into my routine?

Clamping will toughen up the tissues fairly quickly, so don’t start until you have exhausted all gains from a manual routine.

Thanks!

Firegoat, do you think the same applies to cock rings, o-rings or such?.

I mean, once the tissues are toughened it would be almost impossible to gain from manual exercises?.

No, no problem with cock rings etc. They don’t produce the same sort of pressure as clamping.

Here’s a new thought for you. When you’ve reached the point that you don’t want to add any more jelqs because it’s just taking too long, and you are not gaining much from them, a few clamping sessions (say 3 days of clamping) while not enough to create toughening and adaptation to the pressures of clamping, may get gains from jelqing going again.

Or you could do 1 clamping session a week to hit the tissues differently, creating a different sort of stress (continuous, rather than the on/off pressure of jelqing) and use the jelqing to capitalise on the clamping session. Good way to ease into clamping too.

Very informative, thanks!.

Good stuff, firegoat.
