Over the years I have developed what I call the "Charleston" method for pumping with a small pump. I place my hands art both ends, crouch and place my knees outside my hands and squeeze my legs along with my arms to get more power to the pump. None of my pumps has an end mounted hose, though. At some point I think I may try a compact pump with a toe or toe holds, though.
