Anyone successful with hanging straight out?

Smulcrum Fulcrum! I’m going without! Will let you know how it turns out…

Yea I don’t get the fulcrum quite frankly, I tried making one and used it, I didn’t quite get it’s purpose and had trouble keeping it in place. Also really annoying heating up each set. I gave up heating up my rice sock each set.

So, any success stories from hanging SO since the last time I asked? :)

I am currently hanging SO exclusively myself and it seems that I am gaining so far.

SO is all I’ve ever done. Once I saw the advantages of all the flexibility for angles and fulcrum capability as well as the ability to change weight on the fly, I was hooked. (pun intended)

The addition of an eye level anchor enabled SU hanging.

I just put a door bracket on the website that allows you to stretch at any level from any door.

Interesting Monty. I know you are one of the guys that have gained with this angle, but it seems like most other big gainers have hung mostly BTC or straight down?

Personally, I recorded a 0.2” gain yesterday after 4 weeks of hanging straight out and using an ADS. I would not say that it is more than 3 weeks of effective hanging, since the first week was very light both in volume and weight.

I am considering adding a set in the morning before work since all my hanging is in the evening. I was thinking about hanging this set straight down.

What do you think Monty? Does it even matter? Should I hang the morning set SO as well? And do you agree that this morning set would be beneficial?

It will cost me some effort and sleep, but I am thinking that the pay-off will be worth it.

I hope to retire from length related PE by summer and get back to life.

Adding the morning set might be very beneficial.

As far as doing it BTC. I don’t know. When you look at a cross section the pelvis structure and imagine BTC hanging what you are actually doing is pulling the ligs down and back from the attachment point. Although it obviously works from others experience, I have never thought that this is the best approach. I’ve wondered if this is where the LOT theory came from because that position puts all the stress on stretching the top of the ligs which would allow the erection to drop down.

SO hanging places the stress in the same direction as the erect penis tends to go. It just seems to make more mechanical sense. With this approach LOT theory goes away. Prior to just a few years ago angles other then BTC were limited. Pulleys could be utilised but back then no one considered the necessity of hanging straight out.

Don’t get me wrong, I think all angles should be used to divide and concur the inherent strength of the ligs. However having said that I don’t put much value on pulling the penis back and under. I just don’t see that as productive.

What I do see as productive is Over-the-Leg left and right, SO and then OTL (actually ends up being Over-the-Hip) Fulcrums from any of those angles are very effective.

Now if you look at your gain of 0.2 in 4 weeks that works out to 2.4” in a year. I”d say your doing great and just keep up the good work. Don’t add anything, don’t change anything. IOW if it ain’t broke don’t mess with it. :D

Yes, I am satisfied, but since I have been at this length in the past the last time I hung (took me 10 weeks or so then, with 4 weeks of BTC first, no ADS through the whole period), I will not be very satisfied until I gain another 0.2” ;)

Don`t add anything? Sure, but what about the morning set?

Adding sets is never harmful. It’s when you increase weight or miss some sessions, that’s the kind of change that you want to avoid.

What I found from my data of the past years of work was that when I used my ADS consistently that my gains were consistent with the number of sets I would do. In other words, what I did was take my total gains and divided them by the number of sets I did and came up with a figure for gains per set. Then I went back in and figured out if there was a discrepancy between numbers of sets and numbers of days where I missed sessions. What I found was that regardless of how many sets I did over any period of time the gains were the same. If for instance I did 15 sets in a month and gained 0.12” and compared that to a month where I did 24 sets, the gains for each set remained the same.

So after all this above stuff I came to the understanding that it didn’t matter how consistent I was with my sets or sessions because the gains per set was the same. This of course was with the utilization of my Rings daily. So what it told me was that the Rings acted as a buffer to missed sessions. It also says that if you hang 5 sets a day your going to be gaining more in the same period of time then you would gain from only 3 sets a day. Obviously we’re talking about heavy hanging (5 lbs and over).

Hi Monty.OK,so if I were to embark on hanging at some time soon,what angle would you recommend starting out at?I thought that straight down(mainly ligs)would have to be maxed out first before any tunica can be tackled properly,and I seem to recall that BIB did this first for a while before doing any SO hanging…and since the ligs are what hold the other structures in place as you stated,wouldn’t this be the right way?

And did you happen to hang straight down at some point in your start of hanging?Any help would be awesome and appreciated.Thank you.

I didn’t do any significant amount of SD or BTC hanging. I didn’t want to loose my erection angle.

SD is an angle of course so it probably should be included in any routine. I’ve mostly concentrated on SO and SU.

When it comes to tunica work, I really don’t know what that is because your not going to stretch the ligs without stretching the tunica at the same time especially when using the upper angles.

Any new opinions on this topic?

I think I will resume hanging this week and I think SO will be the angle I will be using. I did after all gain in this position the last time.

What hasn’t received any attention here is the affect of kegeling while hanging. Obviously when your loaded up, kegeling under stress is difficult. This is where the use of a Bungee cord SO has an advantage, you can just step forward, lower the stress and then kegel. What I endeavored to accomplish was a 1/4” of pull during the kegel and hold that as long as I could. After that exercise I could return to whatever stress level (poundage) I was working at previously. Kegeling while in anything other then SO isn’t as effective as the kegeling muscle pulls in toward the pelvis but when your doing OTL or OD, it doesn’t work.

I have been doing SO for around 67 days at almost 4 hours a day, and I am seeing girth gains along with length gains. I’m not sure what my BPEL is, but my BPFSL is now over 8 for the first time that I can remember. THe only angle I do is SO. Recently I have been including some bundle hanging SO, but mostly just SO hanging. Every now and then I try angled hanging, but as I said I usually do SO.

Excellent, thanks for sharing!

Is that 4 hours of effective hang time?

Any reason you’re doing SO in favour of the other angles which everyone else seems to recommend?

I also seemed to get some girth gain from my hanging, but I wonder if it was just swelling from the hanger.

Interesting.

Thanks for sharing, Monty.
