On the other hand, I believe SO uniquely targets certain outer lig bundles, which may be factors limiting the full expression of your inner penis. Damn, that sounds flakey, but I mean it in the literal sense. “Expression” means to pull out, and “inner penis” refers to those parts of your shaft that ride along the bottom surface of your crotch but are prevented from hanging down and away from your body by the suspensory ligament.
Modestoman,
I think you are right on the money with what you wrote above. But I also feel alot of my problems assoicated with targeting the inner structures whether var upper or lower angle hanging is to do with not wraping and attaching functionally to get the most effective pull,stress/strain on the shaft.
My thinking tonight (and gather most here already know this) is that hanging can be divided into various components or chapters. The first being getting wrapping right, the second being hanger configeration, the third being attachment and fourth being a combination of correct weight/time and angle and ofcourse, consistancy.
My own example and experiences has me questioning whether or not I have wrapped and had the configeration of the hanger correct for my particluar shaft. Bigger once said in pm form to try and keep it simple but for myself simple can mean difficult and brainteasing.
I think that my decision to try upper angle hanging was sound judgement for my LOT consideration back in 2003 but since going back to BTC last week I have come to learn/relearn all over again that as you and others here have said that skin can take some of the stress that was intended for the ligs or the tunica and because we then lose our effectivness of hanger application we are tempted to up the weight too try and kick start or continue gains.
This weekend I have been re examining my hanger efforts over the past 3 years and I am convinced I have had my angles correct but not the effectivenes of my wrapping or hanger configeration. Bigger has said before that the one thing in PE is that the only consistancy is inconsistancy and varibles are constantly changing and we need to be able to address these changes as they happen. Ofcourse everyone already knows that, (just thought I would throw it in).
It just takes a slow changer like me 3 years to finally work it out.
But in conclusion what you quoted above for me was exactly what I found when I switched from BTC (which I could never get right) to SO and then onto an upper angle close to OTS but not proper OTS cause I was using a pulley under my desk whilst sitting on the floor.
Oh my LOT has risen in 3 years despite the fact that I have never been comfortable with my wrapping or hanger configeration and application. I suspected I gained about 5mm in BPFSL and the LOT has risen from 7, 7.30 to around 9.
One thing that is hard for me too make sound judgement on here is BPEL. This is hard for me cause my erection levels i.e blood flow can vary. Hence I think for minor changes it is better to watch BPFSL increments rather than BPEL. (just my opinion)
But I wish to ask you directly and any other hangers here who finds that they can get a clearer more diffinite LOT reading when they have their hanger attached just like when they are hanging. I do. Infact after sets I have completed I also do a LOT test whilst still in the hanger just before I am about to remove it for a rest period. I tell you guys this, that for me the LOT test is so much more clearer with the hanger on.
I would like too know if others find this so.
Thanks I hope I made sense.
GMJ
