OK guys, that's it. I decided I want to start pumping my balls too. But I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions for a cylinder & routine?
Thanks!

An ASTJ makes for a very comfortable ball pump especially if you buy a seal to go with it. Exiting the jar is very easy and you build up quite rapidly. You could try a 3x9 straight cylinder as an alternative, but you'll find it more of a squeeze. In a 3 x 9 your bag will look longer, in an ASTJ it will grow more rounded (which is good fun to watch and more visible too).
As for a pumping routine, 20 minute sets, alternating between warm water and dry is an excellent way of getting started, just do three sets to begin with and build from there! You'll soon see some progress...

Cool! Thank you! Do you know of a place online where I can buy a seal?
I think a sun tea jar would be fun! And I do want big round balls, I already have pretty low hangers!
Thanks bud!
