Bear in mind this is my opinion.
I’d say manual methods are the hardest, they require the most effort, and that was what you were asking about I think.
When I did purely manual methods, (jelqing and stretching), my sessions were grueling, I really put alot of effort into jelqing and stretching, and the gains were rewarding. Sometimes you get out what you put in, if you catch my drift.
I’m not sure of having prerequisites to hanging. I’ve read it, and said the same many times, and I’d certainly suggest for you to do manual methods first, to condition your unit prior to taking up hanging.
But is it absolutely necessary ? Not sure.
I’d think if you were to start off with light weight, easy sessions, and massage well before and after, you’d probably not injure yourself.

Get a hanger. A real hanger. You can make one yourself, as many have, including myself. But nothing beats a well designed, time-tested hanger, such as a Bib. Am unsure of the availability of them at this time.
Get some good wrapping material. Learn how to wrap properly.
Start hanging light weight. Get the feel for how to attach the hanger and make adjustments. It’s not rocket science.
All this information, everything you need to know, is available here at Thunder’s, for free.

Understandable. Here’s some others if you haven’t happened on them yet.
