Girth Cuff?

My wife, who is a nurse, was taking my bloodpressure the other day. The good news is that it’s 130/74 - down significantly since my smoking days, & before I cut out salt.

But as she was pumping up the cuff, I couldn’t believe how damn tight it became on my arm - like it was going to completely crush my upper arm. I got to thinking….I’ll bet with a little tinkering that cuff could be modified - or one could be made from the parts - so that the cuff was less than 2” wide.

With just a few quick pumps…imagine the Uli you could achieve, it could probably be a radical girth exercise (if you’re careful).

Start with about 10 1-minute sets (with about 30 sec. rest in between).

Any thoughts?

That’s an interesting idea. Those things can squeeze pretty damn tight. I am holding off on girth work until I acheive my length goals, so I haven’t done any girth exercises yet. It SOUNDS like it would work though.

That could be good! I like doing it manually because I can get to my threshold without my hands getting too tired; and it’s a good hand workout.

I’m sure there are many guys out there whose hands get tired quickly though, for whom it would be great!

Someone was looking in to this on PE Forums about a year or so ago. Don’t remember if anything ever became of it, or who had the idea.

The thread might still be there someplace, may be worth a search.

What is your current length routine, im interested to know, considering i want to hold off on girth until i reach a comfortable length. Thanks

WatchOut, check your PMs. :)

Thunder, I wanted to do a search on PE Forums, but I can’t get the site right now for some reason. I’m planning on searching for it as soon as I can. Any suggestions on what word/words I should search for though? Cuff might bring up some kinky BDSM posts. :p

That’s actually a really ingenious idea!

I’ve thought about that too. In fact, I have an old blood pressure cuff with a ruptured bladder. I’ve been tempted to cut down the bladder and outer nylon covering to make a Uli thing (or maybe even a hanger with some well-placed plastic inserts). What kind of glue should be used? Or will glue work at all? Is there a better way to join the rubber? Inner tube repair kits didn’t hold where it is torn.

Perhaps easier would be to use the stem portion of a bicycle inner tube cut down to size. Still, the cut ends have to be rejoined. An outer covering is mandatory, but can be easily made. Imagine riding a bike with only a tube and no tire. :)

Frankly, I think a hose clamp Uli thing is much less hassle, but it would be fun to experiment.

If someone makes one, I’ll buy it!!! Any takers???

Damnit, now I can’t get this out of my mind. Use a bicycle inner tube, cut off an inch or two on each side of the stem. Instead of sealing them back together to make a “mini tube,” just seal the ends.

Sew a small cuff out of nylon or other suitable material, same design as a blood pressure cuff, velcro and all.

Attach, with the cuff adjusted reasonably snug, then use a tire pump to inflate. Press the stem down using a fingernail to let the air out.

Or, if you have a squeeze bulb and check valve, remove the innards of the stem and attach the bulb/check valve via a short piece of tubing to the tire stem.

Just theory - haven’t tried it yet. I’ll keep an eye out for an old inner tube and keep thinking how to get the ends sealed tight.

BTW, the check valve on my blood pressure thingy leaks a little. Would have to give the bulb a squeeze every minute or so to maintain pressure.

The bicycle inner tube is a good idea. And velcro strips, just like a regular cuff. I know that my hands are usually quite tired after jelqs & manual stretches….it would be nice to just wrap something on, give a few quick pumps and get a uli/hold thing going on.
