Bathmate Hercules- Journey - Results

Hey everybody,

Well I've been a luker here for well over a year, and purchased a Hurcules beginning of January 2012. Its been almost a year, so I figure its time to tell some results. I'll admit, I'm not as fanatical as some of you guys are with your measurements, and measurement tracking, but I know how big it was and how big it is now.

Upon first using the Bathmate and getting used to it I started out right at 160-165mm at a comfortable pressure... this quickly went to 170-180. And stayed there for a bit (couple months I guess).... then I started doing the Bathmate Stretches (expressive stretching?) and the gains in the Bathmate just kept going... slowly (maybe in the world of Penis Enlargement it was FAST?) mm by mm to tonight... TONIGHT 11/27/12... I HIT THE VALVE! What is that? 215-220 mm or so?

I started out right around 6.9 to 7.2 BPenis EnlargementL, always been girthy right around 6" girth. Now with a good piece of wood, I'm 8.0- 8.1" BPenis EnlargementL, and 6.4-6.5" Girth. I gotta go for the night, but I'll update this again soon and get some pics and talk about my routine. I no doubt could benefit from the X-40... but that damn thing is so big I don't want to mess with it... just sayin.. I wish my Herc was just a taaaaad big bigger especially girthwise.

Anyways, thanks to you guys, this forum and all of your knowledge is amazing!

Congrats on the gains, bro. I'm trying to get there with you, but for some reason I'm having a problem with Bathmate customer service. I bought it from the REAL site in North America (www.Bathmate.ca) but I've not even received a tracing number for the darned thing. Any suggestions of who to talk to, any numbers to call (except that frakkin sales number where they "claim" they have no clue about the order), or just waiting patiently seeming they took the money and said they've received the order? Help, please...

Thanks for posting this, im also at the same starting length and would like to get some more length out of the Bathmate. This will strengthen my resolve

Love that word!

Sorry for the long break, finally got a chance to take some pictures.... its official that I'm a bad photographer but they'll work. Not my best session to date, but this is typical. I need to upgrade but not sure which direction to go. I think the X-40 is too big (maybe i'm wrong), been thinking of a Penomet but I'm just not sure. Is a Penomet with the gaiters as powerful as the Bathmate?

So if you don't mind telling, what was your routine?

My bad. I was asking the OP, phexor.

My normal routine is all done in a hot hot hot bath. Almost as hot as I can stand it. I've tried doing it outside of the tub, i just think doing it in the tub works best for me.

soak for 10-15 minutes while doing some manual length work, and some light jelqing.
5 minutes Bathmate at a light pressure for warmup
followed by some more jelqing, probably 50 or so
5 minutes Bathmate, increase the pressure a bit
followed by jelqing
5 minutes Bathmate increase pressure again
jelqing
5 minutes Bathmate max comfortable pressure
10 minute cool down, doing light jelqes

I also mix it up sometimes and do SSQJ's

I do this 3-5 days a week normally.

Sometimes I mix up my sessions, sometimes its more than 4 five minute sessions. Sometimes I'll switch it up completely and stay at a light pressure, but stay in the tube for 10 minutes, for 3 or 4 sessions. If you keep the pressure low enough you still get good expansion and can keep the fluid retention down. I think this can help solidify your gains.

I'll often take off 3-5 days if I feel any soreness, usually after a solid two weeks of workouts. After I take a period of 3-5 days off is when I usually see a gain. I really think time off is understated, but I realize we are all different.

I think switching things up, and taking the proper time to heal really pay off! I'll work on getting some more pictures.

Phrexor, thank you very much for detailing your routine! One question though, do you wear any type of cock ring or clamp afternoon your sessions to maintain your engorgement?

Thanks again!

No, no ring or clamp. I tried a ring, and as wierd as it may sound it ended up with more fluid retention.

Almost forgot. I do a lot of expressive stretching. Like what is detailed in the video, and I also use the method that someone else posted here a little while back where in the tub, you put your knees up and lean forward. Kind of pushing your hips "back"... its pretty intense! and I do those for upwards of 1-2 minutes, but because of the intensity I get sore so I only do a couple of them.I've done those for almost 6 months. The expressive stretching is key!

Tub Stretches are what I think you may be referring to.

So its really obvious I need to upgrade... the Gaiter is leaving deep impressions at the base... which direction to go?

The new mid size models of the Bathmate are coming out... I'm going to pass on the X-40
OR
The Penomet... is kind of a mid size right? Anyone here use a X-40 and then go to the Penomet?

What do you guys think?

Thanks

I was maxing out the herc too.

I went for the X-40. I love it. So much room for expansion.

I'm reaching 6.8 to 7 inch girth post work out.

Go for the X-40. You might be surprised how well it suits you.

Cheers

Good to hear such awesome expansion so quickly in the conversion!

Well I had a hard time choosing between a Penomet package and the Bathmate X40. I went ahead and ordered the X40 a few days ago, I figure I"ll have it this week! I decided to stay with the Bathmate product because that's what I already know and am used to. I'll let you guys know how I like it when it arrives!

Update

So now I've had the X40 for almost two weeks.

At first I really didn't like the X40. The valve wouldn't hold pressure on the initial pump, so I had to start locking it on the initial pump to keep the pressure. Then unlock it to pump more, at that point it would hold without locking the valve. NOW, I assume the valve needs some break in time... it works perfectly. I had trouble relearning exactly how to attach it to my body to avoid getting a ball sucked in there at first. Now there are no issues since I've gotten used to it. If you have trouble at first, use a ladies hair tie or something to keep your balls out.. it works! Now that I can position it right I no longer have any issue and don't need the hair tie. I'm also not a fan of the comfort pad so I use it without and just put a little Vaseline around the base. I use it in the bathtub and whenever I go to quickly attach the X40, the comfort pad would just fall off, oh well.

Now... I LOVE IT. Now I can get to just over 210mm in length, probably 212 or so which is just shy of where I was getting with the X-40 so its all good there. But the girth! I get awesome expansion and have really seen a difference. My girlfriend even made the comment . I can also do longer sessions with little or no fluid retention... not sure why, but I'm happy about it! And the best part is no more painful rings around the base. I'm definitely a fan! I still wish I had the chance to try a penomet to compare the two, but I'm definitely happy with the X40. Its also plenty big!

Well I've made some progress. Now I can hardly fit into the Herc.

Now in the X40 I reach 210mm with ease and have started to creep even higher towards what I would call 215mm on the initial pump then it recedes back to around 210mm. My girth has really gone up! I didn't hardly realize the growth that I've had until I tried to use the X-40 again, now in the Herc I max out the girth immediately and almost hit the valve on the initial pump! Before the X40 I really had to pump hard and long to get that far and still couldn't quite touch the valve and never "really" max'd the girth. I love it! I've also just started working out... I can't imagine what this would all look like once I lose some of my fat pad lol... I'm not a skinny fella.
