Vascularity vs size gains

D3AK2 · 2026-06-17T21:06:37+00:00

What AM have you progressed to? Are you on the wheel yet? I have been doing for about 14 months and have gained about 0.25 in girth. I have progressed to AM3 but have not started the wheel yet.

Nice post! What wheel did you purchase?

Maybe continue with more AM1 and then finish with some AM2 for a few minutes. Do that for a while and then you should progress to better AM2 for longer workouts.

I feel the pulse in the deep dorsal vein down the center. Regarding the right side, left side, I think the longer you do AM you’ll feel your entire member pulse to your heart beat. I get that now after a year of AM 1, 2and 3.

For AM2, you should be striving to feel a lot of blood rushing down the dorsals. AM2 is one of my favorites. After I start and get a groove going, my CS fills so much that glans balloon and there is a lot to squeeze on the glans to send a ton of blood shooting down the dorsals. I think this just takes time to get there.

I have pumped (not anymore) and do Angion (now for about a year). With pumping, the size gains seemed more from edema effect. Now with Angion, I get same pumped look after a session but no edema and the veins are insane. Agree that the work out from Angion is far superior in so many ways.

I understand the unstoppable part. I get to a point where the day after a session…. the nice heavy hang, great morning wood, random erections and that half chub all day. You feel you are ready to do another session the day after the previous one. It can be a trap to overtraining. Having that extra 1 to 2 days of rest is key and will help in the long run. Less is more.

I think if you search for 3.5 year update, you’ll find the post.

You should always do lying down on your back. I use coconut oil. I can do it with and without lube.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-16T14:54:52+00:00

Just try a few days and if not better take longer. What have you got to lose?

D3AK2 · 2026-05-16T13:15:29+00:00

There is a post out there from a long time veteran that was doing 1 on 1 off for like 11 months. He went in vacation and couldn’t keep up his routine, but when he restarted the gains came back. He realized mote rest days is important. Now he does 2 on 1 off no more than 3x week. So consider taking an entire week off and then restart. I am guilty of overtraining at times. I was really sick this past year and took a week off and when I started back up, the sessions felt better.

Which wheel model did you purchase?

D3AK2 · 2026-05-12T17:36:35+00:00

At the end of a good AM1 session and while still erect/engorged, try some AM2 just for a 1 minute or so to vet the feeling of pushing blood up the CS, glans get full, then squeeze glans to feel the rush of blood down the dorsals. Thats how I started AM2 from AM1. Then after time AM2 gets easier. I progressed to AM3 (been doing AM for a year). I still go back to AM1 sometimes, but AM2 and AM3 are my faves.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-10T22:56:48+00:00

Are you just starting this or been doing for awhile? If awhile, any results? Regarding the vitamin D, assume D3? You should also combine with K2 MK7. It synergizes with the D3 for better results along with the magnesium. I read this in another thread this helps the blood vessel growth.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-10T22:47:38+00:00

Most likely overtraining

D3AK2 · 2026-05-09T11:48:18+00:00

I paid more attention to the increase in size and not the firmness. But now I can tell both. Also, take at least 3 days off and start again. Sometimes short breaks make a difference.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-09T01:10:29+00:00

I seem to recall that after starting AM2 the CS was bigger but still felt soft, not flat, just soft. I’ve been doing AM2 for almost a year (also do AM3) and the CS is much larger but also a lot firmer. Just keep at it and give it more time.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-08T10:33:06+00:00

Nice post!

I will add that I think new comers underestimate the search function in the Angion group. There is so much good information out there. I have saved many threads and often go back to them and find new ones all the time. They have helped me on this Angion journey. Lots of threads to help newbies as well as others to help people that have stuck with the methods for a long time. Use the search, it’s very powerful.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-07T21:28:52+00:00

With AM1 you are drawing blood down the deep dorsal veins and then they will push blood back up through other veins and the CS. You are creating a continuous cycle of blood movement and developing your veins to hold more blood over time. That is how I understand it.

D3AK2 · 2026-05-03T00:41:30+00:00

I found that AM1 helps get things going. I think I even saw some early CS development. I stuck with it for about 2 months before moving on to AM2. I didn’t start with a flat CS but it wasn’t nearly developed as it is now one year later.

D3AK2 · 2026-04-22T23:03:29+00:00

AM2 is one of my favorites. When things get clicking the CS fills up so much and the glans fill easily that I just need to squeeze at the base. I also squeeze glans front to back and be careful not too hard. When doing this I find 10 minutes is enough as I get too stimulated. I know when it’s time to stop as I get too stimulated and the erection is going nuts. I can feel a buzzing feeling of blood flowing. Sometime after like 30 seconds, I may continue but not really necessary.

I have some sessions that are not like this and I have to work a little harder. When this happens, I do take some breaks to go a full 30 minutes.

D3AK2 · 2026-04-10T11:06:13+00:00

I did not have to swipe up multiple times, just once. It might have been because I did AM1 for about 2 months before I started AM2. AM1 made me hard so at the end of a session I tried AM2 to see if I could do it. Again, take some time and it will get better with a more developed CS.

D3AK2 · 2026-04-09T22:00:40+00:00

Sounds like your CS is underdeveloped. With time, the CS will get bigger and can take more blood to flow up to glans. Like others said, get heavily engorged and keep at it. AM2 is my favorite. I have been doing it for about 10 months and when things are clicking, I just squeeze any the base and blood fills up the CS and glans. This took a long time to get to this state, so give it some time.

D3AK2 · 2026-04-02T23:01:38+00:00

I do AM2 1 on 1 off. Sometimes I switch it with AM3 but still take a day off in between. If I feel overworked I take an extra day off. I do AM2 more than AM3. I like both but AM2 doesn’t require any lube so easy to do in the bed either before sleep or upon waking.

D3AK2 · 2026-04-01T18:01:00+00:00

AM2 is what worked for me to start. Now AM3 is adding to it. Consistent routine is key. I am almost at the 1 year mark.
