Almost two months into hanging... got any advice?

Well it’s been almost two months into my hanging journey and I’ve decided on giving an update. Here is a bit about my routine:

It was difficult at first to get settled into the whole feeling of hanging, but in about a week, I was fine and was able to hang 5lbs at three 15 minute sets. Some late nights I would just do two sets of 15 minutes and maybe light jelqing after (100-250 jelqs or about 10 minutes). Hanging was done BTC sitting on the edge of my bed with my legs straight out and supported on my clothing hamper.

After 5lbs I went to 8lbs for about two weeks and then finally upped the weight to 10lbs as of yesterday. I would feel a tugging sensation on my ligs directly (right over the pubic bone) and a very intense stretching feeling- it almost felt as if it were even stretching my intestines! So yeah, the sensation could be felt throughout my body’s inside. To intensify the stretch, I would lean my torso back a bit and feel a nice solid pull.

As for glans coldness/numbness. I would periodically check my glans by rubbing it with my fingertip- if I had feeling then I would keep hanging for the duration of 15 minutes (sometimes I’d let it hang to a full 20 min). * After each set I would unwrap and massage my dick, give it a quick hot wrap too, then jelq for 10 min and hang another set *

Now for the pro’s and cons:

+ My foreskin has stretched a bit and has adapted to the hanger.
- Glans gets somewhat inflated and tight when I hang 10lbs, but does NOT when I hang 8 or less. Yes I squeeze as much blood out of the glans/upper shaft as possible while tightening the hanger.
+ My LOT has gone from 10:00 to almost 9:00 tugback!
- No gains. Not even one tenth of an inch! In fact I have LOST some stretched length! This could possibly be due to a foreskin restoration device I am using also (which pushes my penis corpus cavernosa tissue up into my body! so I am not going to use that device anymore).
- Hanger twists towards my right knee a little bit. I still feel the tug down the middle of my ligs though.

So I am glad that I am finally learning hanging, but very disappointed in my lack of gains.

Any help/advice is welcome!

Cool, getting regular advice when you’re starting a new routine is important so you can make sure you’re on the right track.

>It was difficult at first to get settled into the whole feeling of hanging, but in about a week, I was fine and was able to hang 5lbs at three 15 minute sets.<

That’s normal you might experience similar things when you try different angles or higher weights.

>Some late nights I would just do two sets of 15 minutes and maybe light jelqing after (100-250 jelqs or about 10 minutes).<

Good.

>After 5lbs I went to 8lbs for about two weeks and then finally upped the weight to 10lbs as of yesterday.<

Good, make small increases to allow the weaker tissues to build up their strength.

>I would feel a tugging sensation on my ligs directly (right over the pubic bone) and a very intense stretching feeling- it almost felt as if it were even stretching my intestines!<

Yes that happens sometimes and is an intense stretch.

>So yeah, the sensation could be felt throughout my body’s inside. To intensify the stretch, I would lean my torso back a bit and feel a nice solid pull.<

Crunching your abs is another good one, as are reverse kegels.

>As for glans coldness/numbness. I would periodically check my glans by rubbing it with my fingertip- if I had feeling then I would keep hanging for the duration of 15 minutes (sometimes I’d let it hang to a full 20 min). * After each set I would unwrap and massage my dick, give it a quick hot wrap too, then jelq for 10 min and hang another set *<

Unwrapping is not really necessary unless you are comfortable with doing it. It took me a long time to get the wrapping how I needed to get the most comfort, and if I got a really good set up on the first set it seemed like a bad idea to unwrap. I’d reduce your jelqing to 1 minute between sets - all that is needed is to get some fresh blood flowing, excessive jelqing could give you more shaft soreness (especially at higher weights).

>+ My foreskin has stretched a bit and has adapted to the hanger.

Good, that means the skin was tight and needed to be stretched to allow internal growth.

>- Glans gets somewhat inflated and tight when I hang 10lbs, but does NOT when I hang 8 or less. Yes I squeeze as much blood out of the glans/upper shaft as possible while tightening the hanger.<

Some blood in the head is ok. If the head starts out how you want it to be and inflates during the set then the hanger is not tight enough.

>+ My LOT has gone from 10:00 to almost 9:00 tugback!<

OK so something is happening, for this to change something has stretched, even if it isn’t showing up on the ruler yet.

>- No gains. Not even one tenth of an inch! In fact I have LOST some stretched length! This could possibly be due to a foreskin restoration device I am using also (which pushes my penis corpus cavernosa tissue up into my body! so I am not going to use that device anymore).<

I think this may be because of a reflex contraction of the BC muscle, and also that device sounds counter productive to the stretching you are doing. You want the shaft to be extended after a hanging routine not squashed back up.

>- Hanger twists towards my right knee a little bit. I still feel the tug down the middle of my ligs though.<

A little bit is ok as long as the head is not twisted within the hanger. Try to keep it straight or do an equal amount for each side.

>So I am glad that I am finally learning hanging, but very disappointed in my lack of gains.<

The gains will come, you are still early in your hanging career and from what you say here you are on the right track.

Good Luck

Wt282,

I looked at your past progress reports and it looks like you prefer to heat after exercises instead of before?

Any advice? Jelq.

HH

Yes, in these past tow months I would try to use heat as much as possible. Here is my normal 3 set hanging routine broken down with heat included:

SET 1
1. Shower (heat)
1a. Hang 15 min
1b. Unwrap + heated washcloth on glans that has become a bit cool to the touch.
1c. Jelq about 10 min

SET 2
2. Heated washcloth to soften tissue and lose any erection that was built from jelq.
2a. Hang 15 min
2b. Unwrap + heated washcloth on glans that has become a bit cool to the touch.
2c. Jelq about 10 min ( I jelq longer than 10 min after last set (usually 3rd set)).

SET 3
3. Heated washcloth to soften tissue and lose any erection that was built from jelq.
3a. Hang 15 min
3b. Unwrap + heated washcloth on glans that has become a bit cool to the touch.
3c. Jelq about 20-25 min

SET 4
I jelq only 10 min for Set 3 instead of 20+ min to accommodate for this last set.

First off this is Sheneedsmore. I am on my girlfriends computer.

Like you I have been only hanging for a little over a month now. I have had gains in length of 1/8”. I do a couple of things different and maybe it will help you. First I heat with a rice sock because I found it stays heated longer. I only heat the first half of each set. Heating each set for 10 min. helps the ligs stretch then they cool the last half of the set. I do 3-20 min sets hanging 8 1/2 lbs. BTC. I also don’t un-wrap between sets. From what I have read from Bigger, less weight and more time is better. I can do 10 lbs. but not as long. I’m no expert but this might help.

Happy Hanging
