Alexbig clamping progress thread

[Alexbig]

Hi guys, I decided to create my own progress thread here with regular inputs. Today I went ahead and started clamping, before then I had looked through many threads, but I adhered to Stillwantmore´s guide and pictures shown in a different thread.

I cut my wrap form a mousepad it was 3/16 thick, 1,5 wide and 5 inches long, my girth is 4 7/8 so I hoped the lenght of a wrap would be enough. I took a 6 minute warmup in hotpot to get the circulation going.

The first trouble I had was placing the wrap I did it when completaly flaccid, but I just couldn´t slide down properly to the base. So I pretty messed up with it. I followed stillwantmore´s pictures and did the same thing as he did. First time when I tied the clamp I was only around 85 percent erect. I paid attention to what is going on with my member, but during all 5 minutes I did not notice anything special apart from increased vascularity. I took the measurement for the first time and I measured 5, 1/4 MSEG, when clamped, but when I loosened my clamp I didn´t get any expansion anymore. I took 5- 10 minute break from each 3 sets of 5 minutes. At the end I didn´t get any post clamp expansion. Just seems like the problem was clamp being not tight enough even it came to the last click I felt like I still could have squeezed my cock more with the clamp. Maybe the problem is wrap I have also theraband I am going to cut theraband and wind it upon the mousepad to make the wrap thicker.

What I noticed during sets: increased vascularity, the vein on the right side was widely engorged,
hundreds of very tiny red dots not being visible at the first glance but only when smoothing the skin. I noticed my glans being smoother, just like stillwantmore´s in the picture. I saw a lttle bit of discoloration but it disappeared after half an hour.

Overall I´m a little bit disappointed because of no post expansion, but at least I didn´t get injured and had no negative signs except the dots, but none of them was bigger than the tip of a needle.

So today 6 minute warmup, 3 X5 minutes clamping and 2 minute cooldown.

Next time I will clamp in 2 days on wednsday. I would like to hear from you opinions on how to make improvements of what I should do. I´m still reading through the threads.

Sounds like you need a thicker wrap.
I use neoprene cut from and old wetsuit which is basically the same stuff as your mouse pad.
The thicker your wrap, the more constriction you will be able to achieve with the clamp and thus, more pressure.
I have my wrap cut at 13 inches long by 1 3/4 inches wide.
This allows for a couple of wraps around the shaft and the width is easy to adjust and ample enough for double clamps.
Just be careful when you are starting out.
The thick wrap can apply a lot of pressure before you are ready for it.

Thanks for a quick reply. I would not have ever expected to start with such a thick wrap, I confess I was so afraid to start clamping it is not so easy at the very beginning. I was watching out for all the neagative signs, but didn´t get any. This is after my almost 4 month decon break, so I´m very careful about clamping. It takes couple months to start doing excercises while clamped.

One of the secrets to clamping is remaining AROUSED and fully erect or AT LEAST close to fully erect.

 

[Alexbig]

Ou, this is the point I might have missed yesterday, even the second and third set I was engorged and around 90 percent erect. Just next time I try to bring myself closer to ejaculation and induce more arousal, Red thanks for stressing out the importance of arousal. So does it mean that once the clamp is fully tied down I´m supposed to stimulate myself to almost ejaculation and this act acctually makes expansion happen?

 

[Alexbig]

I have just read Red´s guide on clamping, I need to do warmups in between sets. Also can anybody tell me how if I should finish with warmdown or cooldown? Also I´ve been dealing myself with an idea of doing bends (flaccid or errect) before or after workout.

Clamping isn't an exact science because we're all different. What works for one might not work for others. The general principal is the same but the implementation varies from person to person... and may vary for you over time as your penis becomes accustomed to the exercise. You're going to need to experiment to see what works for you.

For me, I focus on expansion beyond what is "natural." I push my expansion so that my penis is beyond 100% erect. I've been clamping for over a year so I'm comfortable with increasing my expansion throughout each of my clamping sets through kegels, stimulation, and increased clamp pressure. In theory I try to start my set at say 105% expansion. As my penis expands to adjust to this level I increase to 106%. A few more minutes I go for 107%, and so on and so on until I reach a point where I "feel" like I've maxed my internal expansion. I always try to finish the last 2-3 minutes of each set at a very intense maximum pressure that is just on the edge of tolerable.

That's what currently working for me but as I said, I've been clamping for a year. Be careful when you start and do not try to push your expansion to far in the beginning. Over time you will get there.

As for bends. I do mine when fully clamped. They are intense so once again, be careful. I gave myself a nice frenulum tear doing these.

 

[Alexbig]

Fortunately I had frenulum surgery a year ago. You´ve made a good post. By the way it´s funny to mention that I already had the same profile picture as you at the different forum 6 months ago! What I heard is that for girth variety of excercises (in my case experimentation with clamping) helps in girth gains. You calmed me down saying that overtime expansion will build getting larger and larger. I read the post, but I can´t find anymore when a man was clamping for 5 months with little to no expansion and then started doing O- bends and made 3/4 or 1 inch. It looks like I will have to explore out what works for me and stick with it. But at the beginning I´m extremely careful. I hate my mindset for now, which is not getting thrombosed vein. Yesterday I couldn´t bear a look at my left side vein going to blow out. Things like that scares the hell of me. But I believe I will soon get into clamping. I actually realized that I might have clamped tight enough because I made the last click on my clamp very with a strong force. I had to press really very hard on my clamp to make that last click.

 

[Alexbig]

Today I did 9 minute warmup in hotpot, 3X 6 minutes and 7 minutes breaks in between each set with IR lamp, today I couldn´t get a solid erection, but the third set got better, however at the end of each set after releasing the clamp I was flaccid, I realized arousal is the problem which I need to be focused on, to me it means witholding ejaculation for mayn days this way I am able to create strong libido, I can´t think of getting expansion for now, it seems too far away, after session I felt little fatique for some time. I decided to buy an air clamp to help me along with clamping.

 

[Old Horseye]

You may be trying to clamp too tightly before you have achieved a full erection. Try using fewer clicks, just enough to give a mild constriction to allow more blood inflow. There are times during clamping when less is more.. Don't woory about how many clicks you have, go by what feels right. Then kegel and apply stimulation to build internal blood capacity. There is no rule saying you can not tighten and release the clamp a few to times while you are working your erection up. Try different clamp pressures at different stages of your erection to see how your body reacts. Do it with the goal of learning how you react to the clamp, don't even worry about getting a set in. Just learn. Then worry about doing sets.

Sounds to me like you might be over thinking the process and you might be overly concerned with injury. Both of which may be hampering your ability to achieve full erection while clamped. Just take it easy and let it develop. You'll be fine.

As to injury. Nature designed the penis for aggressive use. The organ can withstand a tremendous amount of trauma without sustaining injury. Your penis will undergo changes during Penis Enlargement and clamping. The bulging veins you notice are normal. You will gain noticeable vascular structure from clamping. ie. Big, thick, vein laden cock. "Thrombosed veins" are more often than not lymph ducts and not actual veins. I've had one over the last year and I backed off the Penis Enlargement for a few days and then kept going without any problem. I actually increased the vascular structure of the lymph ducts which has added to the visual impact of my Penis Enlargement and has made my penis stronger and less susceptible to future lymph issues. The penis is a very adaptable organ. This is why Penis Enlargement works.

Clamping is intense so you need to be mentally prepared for it. Work your way up slowly and you will be extremely pleased with the results.

 

[Alexbig]

Awesome advice. I do it for couple weeks, yes I seem to clamp very tight so for couple of weeks I ain´t gonna clamp that tight.

 

[Alexbig]

Well just my today finding is that I was not clamping tight.

 

[Alexbig]

Today´s clamping at 1 am in the morning was worth it. I was surprised that I experienced my first expansion of 1/4 clamped EG. To me it´s a small breakthrough. I got into bed at 2:30, but with the best feeling I have ever had in pe. It´s like a small shining light that has come down through the clouds which slowly come tumbling down. First thing I clamp tighter which has rendered me a good constriction, secondly I didn´t get stressed about my erection level and that helped me a lot, no stress. What helped me really was the last post by oldhorsey, in one of my sets I was about to doing a horse squeeze with overhand grip, but I realized for now at this stage it may be too intense for me. But it looks like I´m gonna dedicate myself to clamping for a loooong time for a over a more than a year.

 

[Alexbig]

I gotta dedicate this one to you guys,.:D When I clamped today in the morning I was in my last two minutes, when my dadd suddenly came home, holly shit, I got scared as a hedgehoge! In that moment I had my IR lamp on the table which I use sometimes as a heating in my sets partailly, apart from warmup. Damn I shut all the pictures and files. I clamped with the hose clamp, which provides me with a far better constriction than a cable clamp. But you can´t get it off too fast. I was forced to go swiftly into the bed, I forgot about my IR lamp, being left on the table, damn daddy came in, but he didn´t respond about the IR lamp. I got lucky not being asked why I bought the IR lamp, he was fortunately preoccupied with his own stuff posing me a question about where to get a seal (stample). My clamp stayed on my cock, covered under the sheets. When he left I slowly got unclamped but was very careful because he was moving around my room. Shortly afterwards I went to the shower for a warmdown. Apart from this I didn´t get any expansion during my last 2 sessions, I decided to experiment with clamping after my initial 2 week period I will move on trying to find a way to get an expansion and once I find it I stick with it.

Damn, you´ve just told something I´ve been trying to find for long! As I don´t live in english country I´ve been looking up exactly this expression , nobody knows it where I live!

Hey Alexbig, I just started clamping 5 days ago and I've been getting great temp expansion. I use one cable clamp but I don't tighten all the way, I leave about 3 clicks left in it, and in front of that I have a stretchy latex cock ring. My total routine last for 25 minutes and I'm clamped the entire time. During that 25 minutes I'm just stroking and doing horse squeezes, staying erect watching ����. I get about 3/4" expansion everytime. I do it everyday so far and when I start my routine I still have 1/4" expansion from the night before!

I just wanted to share that with you, maybe you can give it a shot.

 

[Alexbig]

Good motivation anyway, well you can leave 3 extra clicks because your girth is bigger, I use a hose clamp which provides me with a bigger constriction, but throughout my all clamping days I was able to experience only once temporary gains of only 1/4 inches. I do it in very similar way like you do I´m staying erect between clamping sets. I will later try doing O-bends, I purchased the air clamp. I still don´t understand why I am not able to break through the expansion, but the reason is that my smooth muscle fits into tunica all the way and tunica is unfortunately in its most expansion level and is tough. It comes out of TGC theory, but I concentrate on gains instead of focusing on the fact how hard is for me to gain. I´ll wait a month of staying in my current routine and then I will step up clamping intensity and time, the goal is increased expansion over time.

I should add in there that when I'm doing the horse squeezes, I am squeezing as hard as I can for about 40-50 seconds, so the penis between my hands, the part that is expanding actually feels like it is going to rip out and explode! So, intensity is very important.

Indeed it is.
