I suppose hanging is the way to go but am I ready yet?

Hello everybody, small and big dicks!;)

I just have to say thanks a lot to everyone here ranging from the growing and knowledge-seeking members to the masters here who`ve reached their goal but still hang around to help others reach their goals. It warms to see such enthusiasm and compassion. You ALL contribute and make this a lovely community. Then finally to the dreaded question:

I`ve been following the newbie routine now consistently for perhaps 8-10 weeks and have gradually increased to 10 minutes stretching, 30 minutes jelq and 50 5-sec kegels and two sets of 250 fast kegels. My starting measurements was:

BPEL: 12,5 cm —> now 13,5 cm
EG: 11,5 cm —> now 12 cm
BFFL:8 cm

Here in Norway we measure in meters,decimeters and centimers but I think 1 inch is 2,6 cm am I right? Sorry for confusing you with this but I can type in measurements in inches later if I can get this doublechecked:-)

Anyway, my objective is to gain both length and girth of course but as many others have suggested I will focus on length first. To achieve this I think perhaps hanging is the best alternative and I want to start as fast as possible but am I ready yet? I`ve read that you should jelq/stretch a while before starting with hanging but I guess I`ve been doing that long enough? In case I`ve decided to buy a hanger from Bigger but I`m not sure whether I`ll choose the starter or the original.

Sorry for the long post but they always wind up long and boring:-)

Thanks for all input!

Hi Ren—

Welcome! I think you’ve probably conditioned yourself well enough to begin hanging light weight. I, myself did the Newbie routine for a mere 4 weeks before hanging.

If it’s any help, I love hanging more than any other form of PE I’ve tried—-it really seems to get the job done. But that’s just me.

I recommend trying it. But you should anticipate a learning curve and take it real slow at first.

Keep posting on your progress.

How’s the weather in Norway? Do you guys use the EuroDollar?

Thank you CaptnHook! The weather is fine thank you and we still use our beloved “krone”, not eurodollars:-)

Guess I will order a hanger from Bigger sometime soon then. The plan is to stick with my current routine and just experiment with the hanger until I`m comfortable with it and gradually change the routine to only hanging for length and 10-15 min jelqing for some girth and general penis health:-) Not sure whether to order the starter or the regular hanger, I will probably find the answer in the archives if I take a search.

Later!

Bigger can answer the question of which to order better than I can.. It has a lot to do with your size, and I can’t make heads or tails out of measurements recorded in cm’s.
I am however down with the krone!

13,5 cm is just about 5” and 12 cm is 4,5”. I think I will order the starter;-) I`m really looking forward to hanging!

I can’t believe my old measurements to be correct.

I measure a solid and cemented 17,5 cm BPEL today.

That’s a solid 2” length gain. Even if my measurements were bad or off, I have for sure gained 1”.

That’s awesome! So was hanging in fact the way to go then?

I can’t seem to document the gap between 17,5 cm BPEL and my starting size (12,5 cm BPEL???).

What I recently wrote about is that my length peaked at 19,0 cm BPEL hanging effectively straight out for a period of 4-5 months, I think. This was in recent time. And I remember it. And have written about it.

I don’t think my initial attemps with hanging were really successful, since I was stretching mostly skin, I think? But I’m not sure.

But yes, for me, hanging has always worked well. Part of the equation is that I’m VERY consistent every time I hang and take it very seriously. I find it easier to slack when doing manual routines.

Bib always recommends the BibStarter. Are you uncut ? You will find troubles with the foreskin.

I am moving to Norway next year. Let’s keep in touch and exchange ideas on how to deal with the foreskin while hanging in Norwegian. Lol

I’m uncut and never had any troubles with the foreskin. I’ve used the Bib for 100s of sets. Why would the foreskin be a trouble? I’ve heard many people say this, but never understood it.

I think it’s because good hanging technique is hard and people blaim their foreskin or whatever when it’s just that their hanging technique ain’t good enough.

The biggest issue with hanging isn’t the conditioning.

People most frequently hurt themselves with bad hanging techniques. Be it a failure to wrap, bad placement on the shaft, or bad calibration of the hangar where they haven’t toed the front and rear properly to get a good, solid but not too tight grip.

I would say, the amount of work you’ve done recently and and your prior gains and experience place you in the “ready to hang” crowd. As long as you know how to mind your weight and sets, not overdoing either, you’ll be fine.

That and if you aren’t bored to tears. I was bored to tears.

Not sure if it’s me or someone else you’re replying to, thoughtfulgold?

This thread is from 2003 and I’m an experienced hanger by now.

I, being extra smart, took the OP as the word to respond to as I was busy and distracted when I wrote that. So…yeah. Pretty amazing.

You obviously have gained well due to my advice. I feel like it’s my right to brag quite sarcastically. You’re welcome. *laughs*

Also, oops.

I’ made my share of mistakes with the BIB Starter over the past three years.Placing the hanger closer to the glans always felt more comfortable but puts too much pressure on the glans with heavier weight.Increasing weight too fast was another mistake.
