I've decided to get into pumping

Could anyone help me with the basics, what would be a good pump to buy and a starting pressure/routine? I am about 7.25 x 5.25, and I want to go mainly for girth.

Dude, did you not search at all? Just look through the pumper’s forum. Good lord, I thought I was lazy.

Most of your questions will be answered by reading the stickies.

Here’s your routine, the first sticky in this forum:

A cheap pump (yes, another sticky)
Lap pump = harbor freight tools pump

I ordered all the parts I need, I’m just thinking about how safe or comfortable a pump is, without the grip things I see at the bottom.

You don’t need the grip things.

Pumping is safe and comfortable if you pump safely. It actually feels pretty good, not in a sexual way so much, but relaxing and calming.

I gained girth with this routine:

========

Rice sock warm-up

Get a hard on, doesn’t have to be 100%. Some theorize 75% will give you better results anyway.

3 or 4 sets, 10 minutes a set

Between sets, come out of the cylinder. You won’t be totally hard, that is normal. Do a few jelqs to move blood around and then massage yourself to erection for 5 mins or so. Then go back in.

Keep the pressure under 5HG. I had the best results at 3 to 4HG

At the end, get another strong erection to get all the chambers full. If you can’t get hard, you have overdone it.

If you want to, wrap your cylinder with a heating pad on low. Not everybody does this. I just started pumping again, and my heating pad is broken. I am not noticing any difference in the expansion I get.

Some guys do a lot of jelqing on the same day they pump. For me it was better to do pumping on one day, jelqing on another.

Most of what I learned about pumping came from gprent, lampwick, petitfaun, avocet8. Most of my routines have been based on things gprent has written.

Obviously you cannot start at 4x10 the first day. Use avocet8's guidelines for building up time:

Petitfaun and Lampwick helped me figure out the whole "getting a seal" thing here:

Newbie can’t get a perfect seal — is continually pumping the pump ok?

Hope this helps. Any more questions feel free to ask them.

Hi sta-kool, better in what way?

I personally find this exact formula to be the best and safest PE workout, for myself anyway.

Better PI’s - bigger flaccid, better night wood, better recovery between workouts, etc. Doing both on the same day seemed like overtraining.

See Sparkyx’s article if you haven’t seen it already:

Physiologic Indicators (PIs) to help growth!

That is the answer I was hoping for. That and insane gains of course.

I will try your method as I am having problems with overtraining. I never thought of seperating pumping and jelqing as most pumping vets recommend combining them in the same session.

I read Sparkyx’s article a while ago, will check it out again, thanks.
