Water build up on head and below head

I pumped hard to 178 about. No removing pump for 20 minutes. How can this be prevented? I believe i pushed myself to hard as most newb do.Should I take day off or what is recomended in this case?

it is fluid retention. I normally get a SMALL donut around my head when im done with my sessions but i have gotten it worse before. By the time i wake up the next day it is gone. I wouldnt worry about it unless it stays for longer then a day or so. If it happens to still be there the next time you use the Bathmate, i would not use the Bathmate again until it is gone.

As far as preventing it, some say jelqing and DLD SSJ's work. For me, no matter what i do i still get a very small amount. Its really not a big deal. If you arent doing any jelqing before your sessions give that a try to see if it helps at all.

hope this helps

Thanks mike. It kinda freaked me out a bit. That was my most intense work out since got the Bathmate. I was starting to see larger girth and it looked awsome. Then it started return to normal and that when notice around the gland was not going away. But thanks again for all is good.

No problem
yeah i know what you mean, yesterdays session and a few other sessions for me have done the same thing. it looks great while in the Bathmate but once your out its a little ugly haha but not to worry it should be gone before your next session

Fluid Retention will happen in the beginning stages of using the Bathmate. Eventually this will happen less and less. A good habit to get into, which will also speed up gains, is to do 5-10 minute sessions of Bathmate followed buy 5-10 minutes of jelqing (or the like). This not only speeds gains but will also help eliminate fluid retention.

+1 i think i have been making pretty good gains with the 10min/5min break /10min method of using the Bathmate

i was gonna start a new thread about this when i saw this thread. i think i got the same thing. Ive used the Bathmate for 5 days got a day off yesterday and was on it today again.
now 2 hours after my session my dickhead and upper foreskin looks like somone injected silicon or something on particular places. I havent experienced this before. it doesnt hurt or anything just looks and feels funny. Maybe it was due to the hotter water than useally i used? or i did a longer session than 20 min. i dont know but seems like the water got in some how and stayed.

Mine went away in a couple hrs. I believe it was from me pumping up to full force at once. I useually go up to 150 for 5 min then to 160 for 5 then 170 for 5 and what ever i can get out of the last for final 5 minutes. Last night i went in hard and pumped the shit out of it till i got no more water out of it and stayed the whole 20 pumping to make sure no more water would come out every 5. Today i went back to reg way i posted cause I was a bit sore around the base to force pump all the water out. and no retention.

As the boss man says..

Incorporate jelqing into your routine. It will help keep fluid buildup to a minimum.

Yup!

Tonight I noticed my dick looks black and blue bruised up and lots of FR build up. been 2 hrs after pump and just checking to see if anyone else has this problem.

From what I have noticed as a newb, been pumping for just over a week with the Bathmate, I do get some darkness in areas, but it goes away pretty quickly. Also, I have intensified my workout incorporating the hc Bathmate stretches along with kegeling for 10 mins, followed by 5-10 minutes of slow squash jelqs and regular jelgs...not sure if I am doing them right (the SSJ). Then I do the Bathmate for another 10-15 minutes with lighter stretches. Since then, I do notice more darkness, and I do get the water build up. Like others have said, it doesn't hurt, just looks a little on the weird side....but again, mine goes away within a couple hours.

So far, I have been pretty impressed with the Bathmate...where I started out, being able to pump to the mid to high 130's, a good night is now just clearing the 160 mark. Again, I know I am not a big guy, but those are results I can see right in front of me...

I had that with every Bathmate session during the first month. Now, it is just hit or miss if I get it. I am more careful now though. Some would probably say that I am too conservative with my pumping, but I don't ever 'max' it out on the pressure, and still get some nice results.

Been using Bathmate from aug was at 170 & still in 170. I only do 20 mins of Bathmate & ssj.

I like the fluid build up if you get it right. Release and Replace, on and off, at the end of you session if you want the fluid build up to add buxom to your head, finish with a really tighht pump; an extra 10 should do it. That's plus the 20 min.

I might have just invented a routine that produces insane length and girth gains... It seems a bit extreme to me... but after I got done with my routine today I could barely fit my hand around the shaft.... and there was extreme fluid build up.. but I really didn't care because of how big it was..
I've been using the Bathmate for about a month.. and I've never seen expansion like this until now. I'm expecting gains in days.... so if I do get them I'll make sure to post the routine! and pictures.... I'm dying to show someone lol. Which reminds me that I have an interesting story to tell about the Bathmate and a girl I know.. Led to some bowchicawowow.

that is the general consensus, the Bathmate is a beast.

You doing kegalling ?

I dont know if your talking to me or not, but I do kegels as well... I do them in the routine but not sets. I usually do a kegel to push more blood into the blood chamber, then I'll clasp my ( "ok" finger hold) around the base, then I wait till my muscle is relaxed(matter of seconds), then I kegel again thus pushing more blood... after a few kegels it gets very vainy and hard.. I usually do that after some stretching before I proceed with the Bathmate(X-40).. Jelqing never really did much for me, although I always incorporate a few due to it's historical evidence.
I really think I'm on to something... What I'm doing is similar to DLD's Bathmate stretches... Although, I'm going at it pretty hard... super sore.. it's nuts(I really need to be careful)... although I have no problems getting an erection or anything.(I did when I first started using the Bathmate) I also used to use it flaccid, now I enter erect... soo that could have something to do with it.

I'm expecting really good length gains in the near future... which I think will psychosomatically aid the process as well.
If I don't get some gains in a week.. I'll be surprised!! If I do, I'll post a link to a forum for a routine...
exciting..
