Amazing Temp Clamping Gains

Ok so when i started clamping id start off with 4.75" girth and reach 5" while clamped.

Now when I'm clamped i reach 5.2" Girth. But as soon as i take it off I'm still getting a 4.75" erection ?

So my temp expansion gains have gone from 0.25" - 0.45"

But normal erection is still 4.75,

I should be 5" girth by now according to logic. Doesn't really make sense to me.

Are you doing any other types of stressor while in the clamped state? Gripped pressure? Side bends? Double-gripped pressure? Kegling? Kindof-jelqs? Kindof-Ulis? or that brilliant new 'cram it into the wall' thing? (don't remember who to attribute that to.. but I modified it to be a strong palm-downward force towards the glans - and subsequently therefore also the shaft, for about 30 seconds per rep, and am really liking it). Etc?

Just spending time in the clamp, rather than --carefully-- also adding in manual exercises too, would tend to inflate the surrounding tissues like cock ringing .. rather than applying any considerable force to the chambers etc to expand them to an actual larger physical size that goes beyond temporary fluid retention.

(Yes, if somebody's going to correct me, cock ringing is a priapism stressor ... but it can't hit the chambers anything like additional manual exercises will.)

... is what it sounds like to me, incrementally expanded surrounding tissues - changing from 5 to 5.2 .. but insufficient effect so far (for whatever reason of your biology or methodology) towards the actual inner structure to see remodeling/gains in erect girth.

You might also try, if you're not already, pre-fatiguing the tissues before the clamping session with some manual girth work performed first.

And, my having mentioned clamped exercising, .. it is the fastest best way to hurt yourself if you do something wrong or for too long before you've worked up to it. Go slow, watch out for signs of long-term color darkening or any bruising that isn't just tiny surface spots ... those would mean to Stop for a few days cos you're going too intensely. And don't hesitate to read everything else available here too.

.. not the least of which is MikeS's post Here, admonishing doing any non-jelq girth work before being at your target Length. (I don't have any idea of your stats, so can't advise .. only caution more.)

The best truth lay somewhere between MikeS's 'avoid all' and Red's clamp universe, but I can only add to MikeS's posts that I was already 75 or 80% of my length-gains before I ever started clamping, .. which is most, but far still from all, ... and, like everything, my schedule keeps me from having the time to go at stuff too overboard .. which always gave me an accidental built-in moderation factor ... so .. I think I agree with it, but only mostly. If you pre-fatigue with manual work first and then clamp moderately (don't go too intensely or for too long) they are additive for ongoing remodeling in that order.

Will it automatically derange ('toughen') the ligs and prevent adding length? I think it's a definite warning area but also that it's not a maxim for all people because not everyone has a predilection for fibrosis. Having said that, you can't count the freckles on your nose (or whatever) and determine whether you're stretchy or a scar factory. That variation could be genetic, or it could more usefully be from superior consumption of collagen/elastin components (and derangement-inhibitory agents) like zinc, ascorbate, rutin, R Na-ALA, and also by avoiding glycation from eating too much sugar .. or reversing it with stuff like acetyl L carnitine. Don't outstrip your ability to heal, is perhaps a better admonition. There's a saying 'Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly'. You just don't get a cheatsheet on how fast exactly that is .. so go slow enough to use good sense or you might crap it up.

interesting topic because I've always asked myself (and partially the forum, though I've never received illuminating answers) why I don't get more than 0,25" of temp expansion and still gain decently overall (0,5" in a year, that is), while others who get 0,5" or even more temp expansion don't necessarily gain more permanently.
With regards to your current situation, I'd suggest a small break for a week or so. I also had a plateau recently, then surprisingly experienced higher temp exp. rates (also without perm gains) for a few days before I had to take a short hiat during christmas. Back home I've noticed that the temp gains became permanent during my off phase. I started a thread about, you might find some helpful knowledge in there: http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/...he-art-of-growth-enhancing-fatigue-management

exactly it doesn't really make sense. if i can expand nearly half an inch while clamped i should of gained at least 1/4 inch by now.

Like I said: it might benefit you to take a small break or temporarily reduce intensity and volume significantly. The increase in temp gains I had back then transformed to permanent gains during my break (with only workout in 9 days).
Maybe the temp gains just need some time to become permanent. Since when you have 0,5" instead of 0,25"? It it's only 2 or 3 weeks I wouldn't worry and just wait for another 2 weeks or so.

What else do you do? How do you feel about your blood flow/pressure? How is your EQ?
Maybe your tunica/smooth muscle is able to expand that far but other stuff like the veins, nerves and pelvic floor etc. isnt able to use the new space available... just a theory..

Have you been training consistently? For girth gains, I always recommend off days of at least 2 days a week.

No measurement until 6 months. People measure too soon.

If you ever measure too much it will be like watching paint dry. Only measure once every 6 months

After today's expansion measurement, I will dispose my tailor tape. I will buy a new one by 10th of January 2024.

Can't wait to see your results

I want to train until end of July 2024 before measuring. I know I will be tempted to measure in January but I will do everything to fight the urge.
