Anyone successful with hanging straight out?

Hey guys,

For the sake of convenience and a tight schedule I need to get my hanging done in my workday.

I simply can`t hang BTC comfortably and multitask. Watching a movie is ok, but being concentrated on my desk has been very difficuly so far.

I want to hang SO with a pulley 6-8 sets daily without fail and see how it turns out. Hopefully I can also add some sets of BTC in the evening.

I`ve also been considering the RSDT fulcrum.

Any experiences?

I would use an extender for going straight out, I hung mostly straight down and some OTC but found an extender much easier.

SO is a great angle to condition skin and fatigue attachment points. Being that it is so central - at the middle of the spectrum in terms of vertical and horizontal angle, after a while a lot of the tissues you’re attempting to deform resist in concert. More and more weight is needed to keep feeling fatigue.

You really want to be sure you’re not done gaining at BTC too. If it’s a desk setup, you could probably get away with hanging SD, which is as close to BTC as it seems you’re comfortable with.

Why explore RSDT/SO right now? Are you all done stretching your ligs with BTC or SD?

How does one hang BTC? I’ve heard this, but I cannot visualize a position where I could do this.

Favoring more time and less weights? Have you experienced any gains with an extender?

Hanging surely provides more stress, even though it probably is more work. I have not tried an extender.

You did not hang BTC?

Well, I feel absolutely no skin stretch at all which is lovely.

I think I will try 6 sets daily for one month and see what happens.

The reason for doing this is that I`m just not able to hang 6 sets daily BTC while multitasking. Hanging straight out with a pulley I`m hanging comfortably while actually working.

I have experienced lig gains earlier in my PE career, but I do think there is potential for more. 6 weeks of hanging BTC did however not produce any gains, but it does probably take more time than that.

Slide forward in an office chair or similar so that your butt is slightly off the edge of the chair. Place your feet on another chair/object. Now the hanger and weight should hang straight down between your cheeks. This is the angle that most effectively targets the ligs.

Can anyone explain why I`m having a superhard time hanging comfortably straight out?

I experience MAJOR slippage and pressure towards the head even though I tighten the hanger very hard and attach it far from the head.

Hanging BTC I did not experience this at all and I hung twice the weight.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I’m a newbie right now, but I want length, so in another 2-3 months I am gonna start hanging. Should BTC be the first method of hanging I do?

It depends, and there is some controversy on this, but it seems to be the general consensus yes. First BTC to exhaust lig gains which are supposed to be the easiest, then go for the tunica with the higher angles.

I do however recommend you to forget about hanging now. Why?

Because you want to gain as easy as possible which you have the potential for right now if you just started. Gaining with the newbie routine alone is fantastic.

If you raise the intensity too early, you may potentially become conditioned quicker and even gain slower, needing more intensity daily to gain, etc.

Hanging takes much time and is only recommend to people who actually have the time and privacy.

That said, there are many people who have gained better with manual stretching/jelqing than with hanging. In fact, many people have not been successful with hanging.

If that was due to them putting in too little effort or whatever, I have no clue.

Just know that you can gain a lot with manual stretching and less effort. Wait with hanging until things slow down.

Good luck!

Of course everyone’s different - but I’d think you should give it a bit more than 6 weeks. There’s so many reasons why exhausting your lig gain potential before you do anything else pays off in the long run.

If it’s simply a comfort issue, what about SD? You can kind of sit at the edge of the chair… and if you bring the blue strap on the bib in a little bit, possibly use smaller weights (for example, 2 5lb plates that are 6” rather than 1 10lb that’s 10”) you could arrange it so it doesn’t hit the floor. If you do have to use the pulley system, can you try and angle it down a bit to the point where you still feel some fatigue in the ligs?

What do you think is the best extender?

I’m a newb like you, but the ones that have the noose from what I’ve read are not as good as the ones that use another mechanism, like the jes extender comfort strap. I guess the noose has a tendency to be very uncomfortable and even if you stick through the discomfort, you will have hyperplasia on the corona of the penis ( just behind the glans, where the noose connects). If you go down to the review forum, you will find more information.

After some debate, I think I’ll be ordering a jes with the comfort strap next week, but thats just me. Even though I’m still in the newbie stage, I think I will start using ADS (what can anti-turtling hurt?), and I think I”m gonna buy a pump, clamp, and hanging device for when I am ready for the advanced stage. I am anxiously patient if there is such a thing!

I could probably lower the angle.

I will try this for one month and see what happens.

Do you have any clue why I experience significantly more slippage in this position compared to BTC where I hanged comfortably at double the weight?

Is it simply a conditioning issue because it is a different angle? There seems to be a different kind of pressure on the head.

When hanging SO the skin has a lot more slack as compared to SD and BTC which means the skin takes a lot less tension. From experience I know during SD and BTC the skin may take up half or more of the tension provided by the weight if the hanger isn’t attached tight enough. When you add the slack the hanger will slide with the skin towards your glans which will result in an uncomfortable hanging session.

Key is to tighten the hanger enough an inch away from the glans so that it will hold on to the end of the CC’s which will function as a stopper. Then there will be no pressure on your glans and you can hang without or with minimal skin stretching. This is also the proper way to hang SD and BTC, so if you can figure out SO hanging you will be able to hang SD and BTC more efficiently with less weight.

In other words, attaching it closer to the head, may be better than attaching it far from the head?

Thanks.

Yes, but tight enough to prevent it from slipping over the end of the CC’s. A thin loose wrap will make it easier to get it tight.
