I think use of extenders as hangers has some merit. There is the case of cantlook as an example. I have read many examples of hangers working.
Then things get murkier. I haven’t yet read anything showing that low tension use of extenders actually results in gains.
Maybe you are the exception. Maybe you are one of the few guys that put in the massive amount of time required to gain via this method? I don’t know. Let me know if this is the case

Maybe you have to read the threads that I linked, which you haven’t. So you would see. And about Cantlook, you sound like a broken record. Cantlook used a noosestyle extender. If you really had tried an extender, you would know that it’s not possible to make use of a high tension with such a device. Baba used a fastize extender, which unlikely can apply more than 6 lbs max. Westsidetoni and others (Pudendum too, if I well remember) used the penimaster, who could apply not more 3 lbs at max, and it was adviced to start from half lbs and never apply that ‘extreme force’, in the instructional paper. Neverthless, people using it enough time still had gains. Or take the maxxtender: the noose is a nylon rope (I’m not kidding) : how much force do you think can apply on your penis comfortably? Still, people who managed to wear it consistently had gains : actually, theirs gains were pretty similar to the gains of those who worn more modern, ‘high force’ extenders. I used a homemade device exactly like the Maxxtender and it worked. I seem to remember 789 used it and was satisfied, wouldn’t swear on it.
Then, try to figure out what you are meaning with ‘low tension’ and ‘high tension’. With manual stretching, you can easily pull with 50+ lbs of force. Even if you are a weak guy. Measure with a fish scale if you don’t believe. With hanging, most of the time you are going to use from 10-15 lbs up to 25 lbs. This is medium tension. This is where most hangers report they start seeing gains. With the additional info that this is true for clampstyle hangers, like the Bib’ or the AFB. So, less than 10-15 lbs is low tension. This is the range of force of extenders.
Now, what’s the minimal amount of force required to see gains? Not less than 1-2 lbs. Why? Because to stretch the flaccid penis to erect length is needed on average a pulling force of 1-2 lbs (according to clinical papers). It makes sense that to have significative gains you need to stretch at lest at erect length. And it makes sense that the longer you apply a given tension, the better. This is confirmed by a shitload of research.
Now, you can believe that high forces are the best things for you penis. Why? Because it has worked for you. So you don’t believe me, Dino and all the members that said extenders are effective. Ok. The problem is that what has worked for you has shown to be counterproductive for many if not most of members. Ask to any pumper what works better, 1 hour pumping at low tension or 15 minutes pumping at extreme pressure, and see what answer you will get. So you have to suppose that they are lying too. Long story short, anyone whith a different experience than yours is lying. And if they are not lying, they are having ‘newbie gains’. You do see that that sounds not exactly a rational point of view? You don’t have any evidence for your opinion than your case. Which, if I am not wrong, it’s not an ordinary case, isn’t that true?
Finally, your very same hypothesis that human tissue will strengthen more with low forces than high forces is pretty eccentric. I suppose when you want to improve your bench press you lift pencils instead than barbells with plates?
