pumping bignlow

[bignlow]

Yesterday i had an hour in my tube 12 while the traffic calmed down and then tripped over to Yorkshire to meet Salguy. This lad quite intrigued me. He had various tubes but reckoned he could only get in his MT senior, the junior was too small. So, as well as seeing what was going on, it was a chance to try an MTj. Turned out that whatever he'd started pumping in, he was too thick around the base to close the junior or get into any of his 2 stage tubes. Even the seal for his bullmaster magnum was a squeeze, probably not helped be using his MTs earlier. I had another hour in my 12 out in the sun with a view to getting into the MTj for a third session but to be honest, didn't think it would do much at that time.



A comparison of the MTj and my tube 12

Last year it would take me a week to get up to my tube 12 but after a long lay off and finding these dry sea salts i'm in it most of the time now. I think yesterday i would possibly have strugled to get the MTj on comfortably.
So, back into my 12 and into the sun.

So, three 1 hour sessions but not as big as usual. After the chickenpox a few weeks ago i still havn't been 100% and this last week and a half i've had a horendous cold as well so just don't seem to be pumping quite as big. That said, as it was nice and sunny i decided i'd have a go at my new tube 13, 90mm entry (3 1/2") that goes out to 110mm (4 3/8"). The entry is just that bit big for yesterday and will be much better once i'm back to normal and pumping that big bigger.

tube 13, around 40 mins.

That result is not what i'm after at all, however it does look to have pulled everything down from the top so the tube will be staying, i just may not be in it too much to start with. Tube 12 didn't get much use to start with and now i'm hardly out of it so if i can carry on growing there will come a time when it gets used more and more.

A few hours rest and a good soak produced these at the end of the night, been bigger but things settling back to normal after the big tube.

Mid afternoon and Salguy had settled down enough to just get into the big tube. He spent around 50 mins in it and comented regulerly about the pull he could feel, something he'd never experienced before. This tube would be perfect for him if he keeps out of his MTs for a couple of days, which is handy, because as soon as he got out of the tube he ordered one and he's already given himself till christmas to get down it once i've built it.

Back in 12 shortly myself, try and pick up on yesterdays pumping.

Bnl, I'm not following? Is the Mtj too big for you or the other way around? I would have thought that it's published opening of approx. 3.5 " would have been just right for u if I'm not mistaken from your many earlier descriptions. I think many of us presumed it would have been a perfect fit for you and produced exceptional results given your physiology!? Are we wrong? thanks for any details on this as this tube is expensive to take a chance on, BB.

Morning BB

No, after two 1 hour session in my tube 12, the MTj was going to be a tight fit so it wasn't going to happen the other day. The entry of the MTj measured 2 3/4" or 70mm whereas, my tube 12 is 80mm entry or 3 1/8". Other than the MTj being wider at the bottom, mine stays straight to limit the bloat to concentrate on the stretch. See pic.

As you can see, not a drastic difference and it would have been tight at the entry. For a first pump of the day maybe, but not after a session or two.

What did also surprise me was the difference in size between the junior and the senior. I think the manufacturer is missing out there, there needs to be another one sized between the two.
Hope that explains it for you.

Thank you BnL. I think I may have estimated it a bit wider, however this is good for me as 2.75" approx should be perfect for me and prevent any undue/unwanted lower ab suction and promote a good teardrop stretch Just goes to show u that one size does not fit all! Your ability to build your own is definitely a big plus, thanks again, BB.

Friday and not quite as much time as i would have liked but still a couple of steady sessions to keep things going.

Tube 12 again.

Start of the week and back in tube 10, the weekly starter tube. See how i go on today.

Well, Monday was a bit of a disaster pump wise. One hour early morning was all i managed so yesterday was determined to get more in.
Managed three sessions yesterday, all around the hour mark and for a change stayed with my tube 10 all day.

After the third session.

After a day grovelling under a bus at work and a night on the racecar, a couple of pints down the pub and bath time.
So this is the end of the night.

Back in tube 12 today. Probably just a couple of sessions, one now as i type and maybe one later this afternoon. Wife and kids off down to the caravan for the week on Saturday so extra pump time so don't want to overdo it this week. Don't want to have to be out of the tube when i've time to myself.

A steady 2 sessions yesterday in tube 12.
This was last night.

Taking it steady for the next couple of days, probably just the 1 session this afternoon and the same tomorrow (Friday). Saturday, during the day they'll get a rest then i have Saturday night and Sunday to myself. Lots of time to go steady and long and see if i can get some stretch ache around the base. You know you're on the way when you ache around internally around the base.

Well, Thursday was just the one session and decided that as i had most of the weekend to myself i'd give the boys some rest so no pumping Friday or Saturday. Saturday was a day for washing the race car before it's due out again on Monday and re wallpapering damp damage in my mate's caravan. Jobs done it was off to the pub as usual with me looking forward to a night's pumping when my mate's phone rang and we were invited to another mate's barbeque. Had to think about it, don't much care for barbequed burnt food but decided we'd go, so off home with just time for 30 mins in tube 10.
Got back around 10.30, ran a bath for a soak and into tube 12 for around an hour.
How annoying is it when planning you're pump night only to be dragged away.
So, later than planned, tube 12, 1 hour.

Sunday to follow as it's still under way.

Sunday morning and a hour in tube 12.

back in around lunch time, another hour give or take.

Third session shortly and back in the tube here in around 15 mins for a fourth session today.

Disappeared off to work for a couple of hours around 3 ish to meet my mate and set the race car up for tomorrow, off for a couple of pints afterwards, as you do and once back home into the bath for a soak.


mid soak...

The warm water letting everything drop and back into the tube. Not a clue how long but a minimum of an hour and probably more.

I can see the slow drop in the length as the day has gone on, a good day. Off now to get out of the tube for the last time today.

Spectacular BnL, your cup or should I say 'thong' runeth over Your becoming 'MASSIVE' and I really fear for that pair's eventual demise You'll have to go the route of 'fitter and have to go bespoke with Hillcrest swimwear Huge progress out of tube and draping scrotum over the edge, superb and thanks for the thoughts....BB.

Monday morning and an hours pump before going out for the day at the races so the balls got a good rest before having a soak in the bath and back into the tube around 11 ish.

Was going for the hour but with very steady vac teased it out to around an hour and a half.

Tube 12 again. I had made a tube 13 but after trying it twice the 90mm entry is still too big for me so i've remade it and sleeved the entry with some 3mm wall that i had on the shelf so my new tube 13 is now an 84mm entry but still goes out to 110mm or 4 3/8" with changes to the lengths of the various sections. It's nearly ready and i'm hoping to be in it on Wednesday night. So the original tube 13 now becomes tube 14 and it'll probably be a while before i'm making another for myself.

Tube 12, hour and a half, give or take.

Steady day today, busy at work as it is and just had another walk through the door, front spring snapped and through the back of the tyre so that to get out to and get mobile as well. At the very least i'll manage an hour when i get in tonight.
