Trying out two stage pumping for the first time

Long time reader - rarely a poster

So I decided to try out two stage pumping tonight - I have a Boston 2 3/4 pump and just aquired a Kaplan 2 1/2 pump.

Started out with the 2 1/2 pump

After about 30 mins, moved to the Boston 2 3/4 pump

Midway through I started plumping up like a ballpark frank

At the end, I I gained 1 1/2 inches and was almost too thick to fit back into the 2 1/2 inch pump. Felt really good too,
although I realize the petechiae on the shaft means I used too much pressure, I'll use less next time, and yes, I know the gain isn't temporary yet, but will happen with time. Still felt GREAT!!
