How long do you clamp?

How long do you clamp? I mean, how long do you hold the clamp for and how many repetitions do you do if any?

Clamping is a little like hanging. It one of the more extreme workouts. You will get good gains from clamping but like hanging if you push to far to fast you will do damage.

It is vital to warm up fully before attempting anything.

As for time in the clamp it will depend on how conditioned you are. Every person is different.

Example

Start by doing 5 sets of 3 mins or less if it becomes to uncomfortable.

Work at that level until you feel that you need to extend the time in the clamp, but only when you feel you are not getting a workout.

Hope this helps.
