Green Sleeve

jqsderrida said:
Actually, Im now hanging 20 lbs, which, incidentally, Im right in the middle of. Additionally, Im not using the two sleeves method as, over a couple of uses, my second sleeve, which was somewhat degenerative to start with (I believe), broke. Consequently, "this is how I hang": First, I NEVER BOTHER WITH RELEASING AIR FROM THE VACUUM CYLINDER ANY LONGER. Im convinced this only compromises the initial hold. Try it and let me know what YOU think. Then I unfold the existing sleeve (which I have cut to about half length) and stretch it as far down my shaft I can manage to stretch it. Following that, I take two pieces of sock (which I have cut for clamping) and wrap both of them together over the part of my shaft covered with the sleeve (still the blue sleeve as my greens haven't yet arrived). Immediately following this I put on a cable clamp and click it ALL THE WAY DOWN. I hang consecutive 20 minute sets like this at 20lbs with MINIMAL fluid buildup. However, from what I have gathered on forums, its hard for you Brits to come by cable clamps, which have been, to me, what has enabled me to continue using monkeybar's product.

i tried your 'fuck the vacuum' approach... never again for, Reber!! i had, after a 40min SO set, what looked like the birth of a blister on my glan, furthermore the crest of the tip was fucked big style. mother of Zeus only knows how you can manage to hang 20lbs and fend of the fluid nasties. i am green of your freakish-genetic-hanging-adeptness :)

Ouch. My bad; it has always worked for me very well. I just recieved a pair of green sleeves in the mail. I made a resolution to not use them until my current blue sleeve bursts. However, upon initial inspection they seem to be absolutely no different from the slightly less expensive blue sleeves.

Reber, try using a cable clamp positioned inferior to the cylinder. This serves to prevent the glans from excessively slipping in the chamber, and, consquently, fluid buildup.
 
a question about the cable clamp; does it not cut the circulation to the glan entirely, or nigh-on?

i want to push 1 hour SO sets when i get back into the swing of things.

No, it doesn't cut, but rather impedes circulation, obviously. I hang for only 20 minute sets, so, I couldn't tell as to whether or not it would be possible, or even advisable to hang such long sets with wearing a cable clamp. Maybe try 10inchadvantage's suggestion of using elctrical tape, I mean, fuck, any sort of vice which may SUPPLEMENT the extant vacuum hold would allow you to hang both heavier weights and experience less fluid buildup. If none of these solutions are in fact solutions, then, perhaps you should try a Max-Vac? QUESTION: Why, though, do you think it is important to hang such long sets?

I notice, personally, that I have better PIs when I hang lower weight with longer time vs higher weight with lower time.

Perhaps, but do you see significant gains hanging low weights for longer periods of time?

Well I got my .5" from staying under 8. Didn't really gain much after I stepped it up 10+, if anything. After 10 lbs it seems my penis gets pretty irritated. Shrinks up more, doesn't get as hard.

i don't know why. perhaps if i could hang more weight with ease(or relative ease) i could answer.

i didn't think you can buy the Max-Vac? thought people were awaiting the MV2.

Well, I just tried the green sleeves which have only recently arrived, and, prior to my lofty expectations for an elevated hanging experience, it turns out that the green sleeves suck ABSOLUTELY, and, contrary to perhaps what anyone might have expected, hanging with the blue sleeves is more practicable and profitable. In fact, I'm going to email monkeybar to request a refund, for certainly this was $20 ill-spent.
 
I am sorry to hear that - but you have figured a set up that has gotten you to 20 pounds plus with the blue sleeves and that is remarkable. I can only add 2-4 pounds with the green sleeves but find that enough to justify them.

True, though what is odd is that, with the green sleeves, I was quite incapable of hanging 20lbs; however, after removing the green sleeve and replacing it with a blue sleeve, I was able to hang 23lbs, comfortably, for 20 minutes. Go figure.
 
i left a post on the Auto forum requesting info about whether MB will consider making a sleeve 7x+ firmer than the exisiting blue sleeve... he had commented that he could go as high as 10x that of the blue sleeve.

jqs -
"23lbs" holy moly!!!

airshy -
how much weight do you hang, at what angle(s), and for how long?
