First of all, a big thank you goes out to REDZULU for yelling at me so many times to try and persist with the constrictors. For me, there was a very big learning curve and I think I finally have them down to where I will see some major girth gains in the coming months. At the peak of my clamping session, my midshaft girth got all the way up to 5.75 inches, from its normal 5.25. I have attached pictures in the following posts to demonstrate how my first good clamping session went. For me, the key was to get the proper wrap. I used an [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?44-Ace-Strapped-Jims-Joint]Ace Bandage[/words] and wrapped it around my dick a good 5-6 times. This wrap adds padding which lets you get more pressure from the clamp with less discomfort. I also believe it provides a more uniform pressure from the cable clamp, which is not nearly a perfect circular shape.
