Good stuff here. I would venture to say though that this guy isn’t asking for a magic bullet or anything. I think he wants to put in the necessary work, but just ‘know’ what the best way to direct his efforts are.I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt :)
I would say there is no better method for gaining length than hanging, as long as you can hang at the angle determined by your LOT. I don’t see why a newbie can’t begin with hanging, so long as they don’t rush into it and realize they need to spend many hours to achieve any appreciable results. When one can hang for several hours per day, I would recommend an extender such as Vimax, AndroPenis, JES, etc. For when they are around the house or when privacy is not an issue, and the AutoADS for when they need concealibility. This can provide around 16 hours of tension (minus for shower, working out, rest periods) and 8 hours of no tension for sleeping (I do not recommend overnight PE). This gives the longest possible (safe) duration of tension and accounts for healing in the extended state. I also would do NO girth work until you achieve your desired length, at which time you should slowly transition into girth work and lowering the number of sets for maintenance hanging.
