START: Newbie Hanging Routine Begin

Hello folks,

I used to stretch/jelq/extender over the past 7 years or so, but always half-assed and some how gained 1 inch at some point in time, but I didn’t record that routine :(

Now I’m looking at a more serious approach. Length gains are the goal.

I’ve recently purchased the starter bib hanger and read over the hanging guide 101 at Hanging 101 along with a plethora of different posts. It’s time to begin a new lifestyle of hanging.

I am currently finishing week 3.

Acronyms:
BTC = between the cheeks
SS = straight down
SO = straight out

Always starting with an 8min hot rice bag wrap.

Routine:
Week 1: BTC/SD 2.5 lbs - I couldn’t get comfortable with BTC so I went SD.
Week 2: SO 2.5 lbs - wanted to mix it up from a down angle, but thinking I should probably stick with down angles.
Week 3: BTC 2.5 - 3.5lbs - I start 2.5lbs as a ‘warm up’ and then switch to 3.5lbs after about 7-8minutes. I still always do a hot wrap, of course.

I’m starting to feel a hardcore stretch or uncomfortable tightness at the base of my penis. I’m not sure if this is the ligs stretching or something else, but it makes me wonder how I could handle 4.5lbs at this point if I tried.. Maybe I’ll stick to 3.5lbs for another week and see how it goes.

No gains at the moment.

I’ll update again in two weeks, but feel free to send any advice my way.

BPEL: 7.5

A quick addendum: I am hanging twice a day and 2x 15min hangs during each session.

Hello, The Thickness

I stopped for a while also and are starting back up, Stay At Home policy, is a good nudge to start again. I was up to 4# SD & BTC at 2 x 30 mins but had problems with head cap. Have gone to bare head in cup and went to 2 1/2# to 2 x 1 hr. A day. Followed by 20 min jelging and keqels each. Am feeling good with these but going back up to 4# next week. Keep up the good work will try to follow you progress.

Big thanks Merv!

I read that hanging for more than 20min at a time causes skin/cell death because of lack blood flow to the penis. I don’t know your previous experience, but I would recommend shorter sets.

Kegels are good :)

Will keep updating.

I am new to Thunder’s place and sent you a message instead of replying. Sorry. My question is I have been pumping for about a year and a half with no visible or significant gains that I can see. I did not measure to begin with so I really cannot be sure there wasn’t some but not much. My question to you as a newbie and you have probably already asked this to someone is “should you weight hang in conjunction with penis extending?” I have been using an extender for about 3 weeks now and for more efficiency and time should I do both? BPEL 6.75, BPEG 5.0 Also, I may not be able to ask this question but here goes, “if I were to weight hang, where is the best place to purchase a good weight set.”

Thanks

Hey The Thickness,

I hang with a vacuum hanger, with just the cup and have not noticed any thing. I’ve heard that the bib reduces blood flow so you need to watch your time, but have read that the vacuum type can be worn for longer times. I’ve put out feelers here and have not heard any thing back on time. Will keep checking and get back with you on what I find out. But so far I have good color and temp on my head after my time hanging, will keep you informed. Thanks, Will be posting progress photos in the coming days so you can see for yourself.

If you don’t experience gains from the routine you’re pursuing, maybe you could do a deconditioning break for a month and then try low weight hanging. I’ve only tried low weight hanging, 0.5lb., in combination with low pressure penis pumping and I’m curious if low weight hanging alone is capable of producing gains.

I haven’t seen any gains from the hanging routine and it’s been about a month. In fact, I used to do manual stretching to focus my tunica and jelqing and had gained 0.25 from that, but seemed to have lost that now.

I’m beginning to think I should go back to manual stretching of my tunica, and no hanging for now.

What type of hanger are you using? It’s not uncommon for guys to go backwards when using a compression clamp type weight hanger. There are a couple reasons for that to happen…. compromised circulation, and nerve damage. You might not even know the nerve damage is taking place, other than you see retraction of your penis while flaccid and diminished erection quality which leads to a smaller erection.

I have a bib hanger and I would tighten it quite nicely so it would not slip off. I also noticed a minor reduction in erectile quality. I assumed it was a natural occurrence of hanging.

Your assumptions are partially correct. You can expect that to happen with a compression clamp weight hanger, but not with ours.

I wish to god you would stop this bashing on compression hanging. Ok if you don’t like compression hangers that’s your opinion, Even your opinion on the negatives about compression hanging I feel is justified to a degree but ending it with but not with ours? Vac hanging can also have an effect or EQ.

Compression = If wrapping and settings are not correct then darkening, swelling and possible nerve damage.

Vac = If taping is not correct then possible blisters and your out of the game for a while and possible darkening were the blister occurred. Even when taping and taking precautions blisters can still happen. Nerve damage is also possible considering you recommend bundled hanging with the LG.

I like both compression and vac hangers by the way but they both have there risks and apart from darkening from compression hanging that has now gone away I have had no issues, but vac hanging has been a nightmare at times.

Many people would be upset with me if I said fat people make bad marathon runners. It’s just an observation. I think I can say with a high degree of certainty that compression clamp weight hangers are dangerous! Now if you want to compare the positive attributes & negative traits between compression clamps and vacuum hangers I’m happy to have that discussion. Please don’t compare the China made vac hangers with ours, they are completely different and anyone who visually inspects the two can see that for themselves. The really proof is in the application of use.

I’ve read thousands of emails and forum posts by guys who’ve used compression clamp hangers. A good portion of our sales comes from guys who have traded in their compression clamp for our weight hanging system. I too have tried to use a compression clamp, so I speak from personal experience.
Guys like Dr. Richard Howard with 35 years of PE training under his belt have used a compression clamp weight hanger, as well as KingSnake who has over ten years of PE training. Why do you think guys who’ve had a number of years of PE training and have tried everything imaginable have switched from their compression clamps over to our device? I didn’t pay them to do it!

You mention that vac hangers have potential negative traits such as blisters, and I’ve pointed that out countless times myself, but always with a follow up on how to avoid blisters and what to do if you get one. How many people get sunburned because they aren’t smart enough to know when they’ve had enough exposure. How many people get fall down drunk because they don’t know when to say enough? Just like the guy who goes to the doctor with a sore thumb and the doctor asks what did you do to your thumb and the guy replies …. I hit it with a hammer. Some guys never learn from mistakes, and what’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Last of all you mention Bundle hanging with our device can cause nerve damage. This is true, but how many times have I said that the Bundle is an advanced exercise that nobody who hasn’t gained at least a full inch and has a minimum of 6 months to a year of dedicated PE training attempt to do?
Do any of the manufacturers of the compression clamp hangers provide a disclaimer like that? Haven’t seen one ….

One thing you should consider is that a lot of the things that work when you’re just starting don’t seem to work long term.

Pretty much anything seems to cause newbie gains.
