Stretching on Hanging days

I am back after a year long break. Started out with Jelq/stretching routines and saw no visible results after about 6 months of dedicated practice. I am now considering hanging with a Bib type hanger and wanted to get some advice from experienced users.

First of all, if money was not a factor, would it be best to build or purchase a Bib hanger? I would get the starter version. Where are the best instructions on building my own?

Second, does it help or hinder to stretch in the shower the same days as I hang? I am planning on hanging 5-6 days a week and starting out really slow, but would add stretching / light jelqing at different times then hanging be a benefit or not? My thinking is my penis will need as much rest as possible so should I save the stretching and light jelqing for right before/after hanging?

Thanks for any help you can give.

If your going to hang then hang, if you stretch then stretch, no need to do both (it makes no sense). It would be like a cyclist going out on a 50 mile ride and then asking should I go on the stationary bike. Whats done is done. You always want to jelq, it is the holy grail of PE. I have never spent a nickel on any PE contraptions, it is just not necessary. Everything can be found within a 20 foot radius of your bedroom.

Most would agree that manual stretching is relatively pointless if you are going to hang that much.

I haven’t been hanging that long, but I’m a firm believer in no rest days. I hang every day unless I feel like my unit is too stressed.

I would certainly recommend that you make sure that your penis is conditioned enough to handle hanging after such a long break.

And to reiterate what 2DreamBig said, don’t forget about jelqing! I like to do mine right after hanging as it helps to restore blood flow and my flaccid hang.

I would never recommend hanging every day, it is not necessary and maybe detrimental to your growth curve. You will benefit from non-hanging days and the reason is that stress levels are so high on hanging days that downtime allows positive tissue growth and restorative health to the penis. This is advantageous in that subsequent hanging days will be more productive due tissue state (this cannot be overstated).

Some, like Bib, would argue that hanging every day yields the best results

I did a lot of research before hanging and came to the same conclusion.

I specifically tried to examine those who had seen big gains from hanging, and a common theme I noticed was that they took as few rest days as possible.

You just have to be very careful not to injure yourself. You’re not giving your ligs sufficient time to heal, which is the point, according to vets.

I know Saiyan22 hangs quite often.. 5 days on and 2 days off.. on the off days, he would use golf weights as a light ADS.

So far, I have read gains from hanging 5 days+

I guess it really depends on the weight a person is using. I am only using 2lb to start with, so I don’t see the harm of hanging 6 days. But for someone who uses 15lb+, I would think the person should take at least 1 or 2 days off.

Some tend to think that healing in a “elongated” state is better.

I never hanged every day and have exceeded two inches, it is hard to argue with bib’s results. But, he maybe a gross anomaly based on the numbers. The penis does repair relatively quickly assuming no serious injury has occurred; however, there are areas that are imperceptible in your ability to sense the level of recovery. I guess, I always enjoyed subsequent hanging episodes after suitable time to repair. You do get feedback from your penis, not unlike the pumped feeling you get from muscle fatigue, so I always dialed into that physical state.

Now that i think about it, I probably average taking off 1 day every week, or at least 1 day every 2 weeks.

2DreamBig, would you mind sharing what your hanging routine was? Also, how often did you increase the weight?

I’m always interested to examine the routines of hangers that gained ~2 inches.

I hanged 4 or 5 days a week, three or four sets of 15-20min duration. It is important to understand what your objective is in hanging, it is to weaken the physiology that limits exposure of the inner penis. We have an inherently weakened erectile system and we must do things to improve it’s functional aspects. It is not unlike an under powered pump in a closed fluid dynamic system. So, you have to think in ways of improving the efficiency of the system without replacing the pump. To do this you can change out the pipes for a larger diameter, this will improve your flow rate. And, you can perhaps use gravity or geometry changes to improve efficiency.

PE is about improving the efficiency of your erectile system. We need to enlarge the pipes (blood flow), and streamline the system for our optimum pump or erection. Rigorous work with jelqing techniques and stretching/hanging forces enlarge our blood carrying tissue, and hanging; in effect, allows foundation physiology to represent a greater amount of our inner penis. You want to increase weight along the way in your hanging routine as it is healthful and comfortable to manage, it is not unlike increasing weight on your bench press. For me, the push to exceed the 2” barrier required getting to weights of 22-25lbs. This takes time and it does no good to push these thresholds, it will only result in injury and injury is the number one thing you want to avoid.

Very thoughtful post.

The goal of PE is to enlarge the pipe so more blood flow can enter the system.

I am currently usually 2lbs. How often do you increase the weight?

The increased blood flow results in volumetric change or girth changes but it also has the hydraulic effect of boosting the efficiency of your erectile pump inducing a larger erection or greater exposure of the inner penis.

You increase weight as your physiology dictates. Your unit builds resistance like anything else and as time wears on it will require more and more weight to accomplish the same fatigue levels originally sustained when you first started your journey. So, your body will tell you when raising the poundage is acceptable, it will be different for every package. Also, a healthful weight will always apply the sensation of a strong stretching force, when you exceed what is healthful (which we all have done) the penis reacts in a fight or flight mode, it will begin to resist and retract (shorten), it is nature’s way of preventing it from falling off. In this state you are doing more harm then good.

I’m not sure this is true. The inner penis agrument seems to be based on the idea that the ligs prevent the inner penis being pulled out. This is in theory how lenthening surgery works. But the reality is that lig cutting simply lets the penis hang at a lower angle, hence flaccid gains are apparent straight after surgery. There is no evidence to suggest lig cutting aids erect gains and quite lot to suggest it doesn’t. It’s only the PSL that is cut during surgery and the deeper ligs aren’t superficial and hold the penis upto the pubic bone right back to the anus. If one was to hang or to strecth these lig the only way they’d aid erect gains is when the penis is pointing below 90 degrees and it would also become very unstable. Urologist often say things like 50% of the penis is inside and thus it’s assumed we are pulling it out when we hang or stretch. But I don’t think we are. I don’t think we are doing anything other then stretching the tunica and getting gains that way. If the inner penis argument was correct then people would see erect gains straight after surgery. Yet of the few people that see erect gains after surgery, they tend to see them after many months of wearing a stretching device or hanging and at about the same rate as those who haven’t had the surgery. In fact Andro Penis did a study on erect gains using their stretching device, yet the tell you to wear the device poiting upwards, thus hardly any tension is placed on the ligs or inner penis.

We are not “pulling it out” when we hang, the mechanism of erectile tissue does not work in this fashion. Lengthening that occurs is similar to the reduction of the fat pad only in reverse; weakening than allows existing erectile pressure to present at greater length. Simple surgery does not cause this phenomenon since you are only dealing with ligs and not the entire physiology.

2DreamBig:

So in your opinion, what is the most effective way of hanging?

straight down and BTC angle first or over-the-shoulder (straight up)?
