Big Schwanz, how often are you noticing gains? I have never measured myself, and although I know I am getting bigger, I can't see the gains on a day to day basis.
If I were gaining optimally, would I be able to see these day to day gains?

Thanks!

PE is so incremental that any measuring on a daily basis would be futile...my 'measuring stick' per session consists of the amount of intensity I can withstand and how far up the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] sticker gauge I can reach. I pump to the point of pain during each 5X3X5 session, and sometimes I'm able to withstand more than others, (if I take a few days off, the next session will more uncomfortable until I get used to the pressure again). The [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] gauge has been the best daily visual for me, I can reach just-into the curved part of my [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]X40[/words] and I'm estimating that to be around 8.75" cuz the sticker only reads to 8.50" and I'm a tad past that. When I attempt to take a 'real' measurement I tend to lose EQ rather quickly, but I did see 8" for a brief moment yesterday.

TL/DR
I measure with a.tailors tape once every quarter or unless we have a competition...I think 3 months gives a good amount of time to indicate if I'm on the right track or not.

Thanks for asking

What vacuum do you think you're getting with that winevac BSA? ive always been curious

more than I can physically handle, that's for certain! As a 'pgh' calculation? No effin' clue. I can bet that I won't outgrow it tho
 
...'go for it, just one more pull with the VacuVin', (newly famous last words) I said to myself. I noticed the water in my [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] turning pink and I knew I had 'done it'. I don't know how many times I've preached 'listen to your body', 'PE's a marathon' etc. etc. and I can't heed my own advice. I know better, grrrrrr.
I'm on the IR for a day or two and my measurement adventure had to be postponed...bugger cuz I felt like my sessions were hitting new heights. Oh well, learn and move on...
 
Sorry i must have jinxed you, i never go past 20hg cause it feels like its a bit dangerous. Even at 20 i only hold for 10-30seconds, any more than that and purple blood starts collecting in the head, it goes away quick with some ulis and edging tho. I know air pumping is a little different but i thought you guys had a gauge to tell what you are hitting

Where was the bleeding occurring, Big Schwanz?

the very tip at the urethra opening...this has happened a couple times over the last 2 years and goes-away very quickly. It's just a bit disheartening when there's any type of set-back, especially cuz I know better

The only pumping I've ever experienced is with The [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] and they don't have any gauge-attachments. My monitoring device is how it feels and I knew I was pushing my physical limit but thought I could power-through it...nada.

I usually do what I call 'dynamic pumping' where I'll use The VV mod to ease-up to my max and at the same time hold as aggressive a Kegel as possible for 10-15 seconds and then release (just a bit) while I do a RK...rinse/repeat 30 or so times. Varying the pressure seems to keep the FR to a manageable amount and in-between sets, I jelq the rest away.

Oh well, perhaps it's my body's way of telling me to take a mini-break
 
I have been doing dynamic pumping for a year or so on my last set, learned it from one of the pumping forum stickies, hold at 10 and go to 20 and repeat for a couple o minutes, wicked good for length.

It happens to most who have been here. It never happens more than a few times and it is nothing serious, even though it scares the crap out of you! :) It is simply a nick in the urethra. Over 4-5 days it will heal completely.
 
Have you thought about getting a pump where you can read the gushed, I believe the make some that can water pump as well. Dynamic pumping is a game changer I do that at the end of my girth portion some times.

Usually like this
5 mmHg for 1 minute
7.5 mmHg for 30 seconds
14-16 mmHg for 10-30 seconds

Repeat that 2-3 times

4 or 5 days!!!!??? I'm usually cleared-up in two...plus I can't be away from my precious for that much time :)

I cleared up in 2 also, only happened to me once though.
 
Just a quick update...all healed and back in the swing! I heal very quickly, so I was back at it (very lightly) in a day and a half...now, 5 days later I'm at max pressure increasing intensity every session. I'm trying to line-up my 'measuring friend', but her schedule and mine have not aligned as of yet...hopefully I can hook-up w/her this weekend and get some accurate pics.

Good to hear! I heal quickly too I think that is why I never took a day off aside from the 2 accidents I had.

I've been experimenting with 'tube packing' and have all but abandoned my [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]Goliath[/words] in favor of squeezing every last bit out of my [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]X40[/words]. Here's a pic from this morning during my shower session...not sure if you can make it out, but I'm right at 8.50" on The [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] sticker/ruler which should translate to 8 1/8" given the 3/8" optimism of the sticker.
I still think that 9" BPEL would give me more symmetry
