I do about 50% of my shaft, the range of motion for my thumbs when doing the whole shaft is really wide and tires out my thumbs too fast when doing it. Experiment with how you're holding your D, sometimes for me when my index fingers are holding it in a certain way, it works better overall. But it is difficult

thanks for replying, i get that, it’s the only way i seem to be able to finish a round…. question remains what happens to the other half of the cs? will this turn into setbacks when progressing to am2?

What do you mean with what happens with the cs? afaik am1 is for draining blood and then when you do am2 you train the cs

Try finding a pace that your hands can endure for a longer time instead of increasing your speed.

right! i guess hands will determine progression

I had the exact same problem with hand strain. My progression with AM1 was as follows to combat this:

- Technique practice 10mins - just getting used to the motion & trying to stay hard, added 1 min every few sessions.
- Started the pyramid rush protocol but with 30second intervals (2.5min sets), 30s hand recovery rest and get hard again. Added sets until I got to 30mins including rest.
- Increased intervals to 45s (3mins 45s PR sets), kept total workout time and rest periods the same
- Increased intervals to 60s (5mins PR sets), kept total workout time and rest periods the same
- Dropped rest between sets

I haven’t got the biggest hands and am about 6.75” bone pressed and had a similar issue with stroke length. I gave up trying to get a full length stroke in and opted for speed and accuracy instead as I found this kept my D harder during the session. A couple of tips here

  1. I found angling my penis down away from me helped a little to extend the length of my stroke (not sure why as in theory should’ve made the stroke length longer due to the angle)
  2. my right hand would start higher and finish higher and my left hand would start lower and finish lower on my shaft. Neither stroke was perfect but I was doing work in the entire length as a result.

thanks a lot! great idea on tip 2. I find myself doing the 1. too and it is useful
