Hanging vs Extenders

Hi everybody,

This is my first thread and I’m a few months into PE using size genetics. I recently purchased the Vac modification from auto extender which I have been using for the past week. I’ve heard a lot of positive things about hanging and also a few bad things about it. Currently, I’m under the impression that it’s more of an intermediate activity, however, I am very curious whether there is a big difference between the the two and if so, when should I transition from an extender to hanging?

Start your research here:

Hanging 101

The Hanging 101 doctrine in my not so humble opinion is very antiquated and was designed for guys who are using compression clamp or noose style hangers. Our vacuum based style hanger wasn’t even invented when the “Hanging 101” doctrine was written. So many things are just not covered….. or applicable.

In my humble opinion, hanging is far more effective than an extender. I hung for three months and gained 1/4”. I used an extender for five years and gained a little over 1/2”.

You have replies from three very knowledgeable people, you couldn’t go wrong with any of the above input but I will say one thing…. my biggest regret with PE was abandoning my extending routine while I was still seeing gains. I got excited and thought if I changed up to a “more serious PE routine” than I would see even more and faster gains.
For me… nope, my gains came to a stop and I never saw that kind of growth spurt again.

That said, I would advise that you stick with your extender routine until you squeak out every gain and then it makes total sense to begin a hanging routine.

Good luck whichever way you decide to progress with your routine!

Thanks for all of the info guys.
