For those who tried both: what gave you best gains, hanging or stretching?

I’d like to have some statistical-relevant number of answer regarding a very debated question: is hanging more beneficial of stretching?

The question is formulated in the simpliest way; You could add useful information such: what kind of stretching was the best, or what kind of hanger etc..

Vote, vote, vote…

I gained through hanging but have switched to stretching with a vac hanger and I continue to see gains. In my experience hanging can lead to injuries, although many people would disagree with me. Stretching allows me to target specific spots with the correct amount of pull.

And what is the DIFFERENCE between hanging and stretching?? ? :)

Does anyone have the link to monkeybar’s site. I can’t find one.

Only 7 men that tried hanging/stretching? Maybe You can’t say what made best for Your gains?

C’mon, boys, vote, this is the chance for answering a pretty debated question.

Hanging is way better than stretching I would like to see anybody pull on their dick for the same time a hanger applies a stretch to his dick with weights.

It was hanging for me.

I question how usefull the data from this poll will be as guys that do well with stretching may well never try hanging.

Scientifically and mathematically this is impossible to quantify. Let me expand.

Hanging and stretching are the same thing, both want to elongate the ligaments. What hanging does is give you a control as terms the weight applied, direction, duration, you do the same thing with stretching, but how do you quantify the force you manually apply and how do you ensure that force is constant in terms of application and direction?

To be able to compare the two you would need accurate data on all these variables. Then you would need the control of having two identical men, while it is possible to find vary similar starting penis sizes you simply don’t know the physiology of each man.

So it is an impossible question to answer. My personal feeling is the control and accuracy that hanging offers is best to target length gains, simply because you control the routine totally and can quantify your workload. However, that is not to say the same gains cannot be made from stretching if you have excellent and consistent technique.

I take this simple view. If I have a very manual job, I can get a good fit body. If I work an office job I can also get a good body by targeting what I want to do in the gym. Both produce results, one in a more controlled manner, the other in a less controlled way.

Once I’ve done with the newbie routine, I’m heading for the hangers. :)

To Ruz and others:

I don’t think Hanging and stretching are the same thing; I think, in some way, hanging is different from hanging: hanging with the bib is different from hanging with noose-style hanger, and both are different from hanging with AFB etc…
I think noose-style hanging is similar to stretching, while bib-hanging is a kind of (surprise!) jelquing. But this could be matter for another thread.

Assuming for now that hanging mimic stretching, I’d like to point this: for majority of people, the advantages of more anatomical and comfortable grip, more immediately controlled stress etc. etc., that stretching offer, are superior of longer duration traction, less stress on other bodypart etc. etc., that hanging offer?

The only way to have some objective proof on this argument is asking to those who tried both techniques -I’m wrong?

Othersaid: the fact that for somebody hanging is better than stretching, while for others stretching is better then hanging, is indicative that the two techniques are not the same thing (I TRIED BOTH AND I THINK THAT AREN’T THE SAME THING).

Could You agree?

I don’t see your point, what you are highlighting is different technique and personal choice. However, within hanging and stretching there are various techniques.

You specifically asked about gains in relation to both. I’m pointing out both target the ligaments. If you are asking if the techniques are different, of course they are, take that as red.

If your point is you target different areas, I agree. But that can be achieved within each discipline, i.e. ulis improve girth, manual down focuses on ligaments, upwards tunica etc. Within hanging BTC focuses on ligaments, OS on the tunica, etc.

Of course no technique or each persons technique and choice is the same, but the objective of that technique is the same.

So say you go on personal stories, what control have you on those accounts? Namely, someone may be an easy gainer and get results from stretching, while another may have better technique but not gain because they are more conditioned against gaining.

My point is: if X men tried BOTH techiniqes and get better gains with one of it MAYBE one techinque is better than other.
I haven’t control on answers; I also couldn’t say if You are a human or a computer, or if You have never tried one of this technique; assuming that bullshitter are equally distribuited in two group of answers we can MAYBE get some conclusion with this poll, don’t You agree?

However, have You voted?

if X men tried BOTH techiniqes and get better gains with one of it MAYBE one techinque is better than other.

My point, however, is what works for x men doesn’t mean it works of a,b,c and even z men, there are too many variables to say what works best specifically, it is a matter of trying for yourself armed with the correct knowledge.

There are also additional factors to consider beyond gains. Say hanging generally produces better results, consider, hanging may generally risk a greater chance of injury. And so on. Also, people who hang tend to have more experience and exposure to PE, so that could counter argue it has quicker gains over stretching, which is often a newbie activity and performed poorly (and with necessary breaks) at the outset.

I have agreed hanging gives greater control of the process. However, consider when most people see the quickest gains, at the start of PE. This often comes from just jelqing and stretching, so one could argue greatest and quickest gains are seen then and hence those methods are the best. But again, other factors discount that, namely, you have more to gain at the start than say a year into PE, because gains are finite.

I don’t agree and I haven’t voted, because I don’t have any experience of hanging.

So, what are you doing in this thread? You came here to show how intelligent You are? You want to protect other members from this dangerous poll? They can’t reason with their brain?

And…I know my English is truly bad, but…doesn’t “maybe” means “not for sure”?

Calm down marinera.
