First real hanging session

I’ve decided to start hanging as much as possible lately. This can be hard to do with a wife, and two children but hopefully I can find the time. I say this because last night I had my first real session of hanging. I used a home-made bib style hanger and hung with 10lbs. I did sets of 30 minutes with wet and dry jeqling in between. I hung SD, SO, BTC and at a 45 degree upward angle as best as I could. I attempted to to a straight up angle by draping the weight over my left shoulder and it seemed to work pretty well. I could intensify the stretch but sitting up taller, or back off a bit by slouching. It worked pretty well although not perfect. My unit was really fatigued last night and I did a couple hundred we jelq’s at the end of the sets and applied a hot wrap to encourage circulation. I did a measure after I was done, and it amazed me that I went from 6.75” BPFSL to 7.25” BPFSL in that session. I hope I’m not overdoing it. Here was my routine:

5 minute wrap warmup
30 minutes SD
50 2-3 second dry jelqs
30 minutes SO
50 2-3 second dry jelqs
30 minutes BTC
50 2-3 second dry jelqs
50 2-3 second wet jelqs
30 minutes SU/45 degree angle
100 wet jelqs
5 minute wrap cooldown
Fowfer all night

I think I’ve shocked my unit and overdid it a bit, expecially seeing as how it was my first real session. My unit was tender in the shower this morning while washing but appears to have turtled a bit. I’m going to wrap today to keep the healing conditions ideal. My big question is, is 30 minutes enough? As I’ve seen some guys in here that hang for 4 - 8 hours and thats just not going to happen in my life. I really like the way hanging is constant pressure and my arms don’t fatigue. Last night was the most intense PE session I’ve ever had, and my unit is hopefully reaping the rewards. I’d put on my ADS but I don’t want to overdo it any more. Any veterans have any advice? Thanks in advance!

If you can do 30min/day for about 5 days a week this will be conducive for gains. If privacy is needed you can hang with baggy pants or warm-ups with zipper sides to conceal the equipment. I have never agreed with the consensus that hanging at angles other than SD is any more effective. The penis is a small appendage and regardless how you hang the job is getting done. Angles can be beneficial to offset stress/pain created from one isometric position.

In my opinion, it is not necessary to wrap in order to promote a perceived condition. You do not have a broken penis and require a level of traction to induce a “cemented” longer penis. It does not work like this. Although, I realize it has visual appeal over an over traumatized penis retreating to its shell. Your promoting elasticity and the emergence of your inner penis; holding it in the contracted or wishful state is pure “hoke’m.” Hanging alone will bring you the bountiful member you covet.

Again, all of the above is Shilow’s opinion. An opinion he usually doesn’t bother backing up.

Thats what I was going to say, but probably not in those exact words ;)

UnleasheD, I would say that at thirty minutes a set,You might be over doing it.If you have only an hour or so a day to hang,I would break the set length down,maybe into 15 minute sets.You are trying to accomplish fatigue in your unit,but I think your approach might be more shock than actual fatigue.Cut your sets back some and see if you don’t realize a more even all over the unit type of fatigue.In my opinion this will help you achieve the gains you seek.Remember as another wise man on this forum stated,slow and steady is the key.

I agree with the 30 min thing. I wondered if your member was cold and dark or just ready to turn purple and completely fall off. Most people recommend never going over 20. My sets usally go 15-18 min sets or its bad mojo for captain winky. Careful with hanging it is a extreme PE workout and can cause damage if not done right.

Thanks, I’ll take your advice into consideration and think about lowering my hanging time to 20 minute sets. I did have some mild bruising on my head, but I attribute that to learning where and how to attach the hanger. Thanks guys.

How did you make this homemade hanger, is it one of the designs on this forum?

Well its REALLY basic and I call it my hillbilly hainger. Those in the US will know what i’m talking about :) What I did was took a plastic water bottle, wrapped duct tape around it about 30 times to make a cylindrical shape. Then I cut it off and placed another strip of duct tape on the adhesive side. I cut 2 tabs in it and poke a couple holes to allow the S hook. Then I wrap and wrap my unit in the ‘hanger’ and put on a hose clamp. Believe it or not, it works great. Its flexible and fairly soft. It’s cheap and easy to replace or make new ones. I’ve made 2 while refining it. I wanted to see how much weight my maximum was…and this hanger setup allowed me to hang 33lbs for a few seconds before my unit was like, HEY, I don’t think so. I wan’t hurt or anything as I was very careful and slow. I only hang with 10lbs and this hanger works great!

I’ll include a pic of the hanger once my wife returns with our digital camera.

Sounds interesting! Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. I look forward to seeing the pics!

Wow sounds cool. Thanx for the info.

I love hanging but I never was able to gain hanging under 10 hours a week, hanging is by far the best length exercise but anybody that thinks they will get results hanging for short periods of time will most likely be disappointed.

Your right Dino. The only thing that can over come a sporadic or short hour schedule is an ADS. I’ve gone up to four days between sessions and don’t believe I’ve lost rhythm with my gains. At least my gains indicate a consistency.
