Afterwards, I measured again and calculated the stress.
Keep in mind I am just hanging (with the LG Hanger) for 4 days now, 1h in the morning and 1h in the evening and only 2.5 lbs. my stress was only about 1-1.3%.
Can I assume I simply have to increase the load to get enough stress after the hanging? Meaning, I have to increase the weight UNTIL I reach let’s say 4-5% of stress?
Or, if I needed e.g. 5lbs for 4% stress and I overdid it and hung 10 lbs, could it be my stress level is also little (below 1.5%) although I used TOO much weight?
It would be incredibly useful to know that.
Sorry I was away from the forum for a long while. Yes I use an LG. This response is probably meaningless to you but wanted to respond to any other guys new to hanging. I think you should keep your stress low, especially starting out with a vacuum hanger to allow the skin to be conditioned and for you to learn the right way to tape your glans for you. I have rarely got anything over 3% strain.
