Hanging less effective than Stretching?

Lately I switched for from my manual stretching routine (5min. warmup, 30min. stretch in a fower position) to hanging (5min warmup, 60min hang fulcrum-style@2,7 pounds).

After my manual stretching workout my BPSFL is 19,8cm, after the hanging routine its never more than 19,5cm, although I feel the ligpull way more than with manual stretching. My guess is that I use more force while manual stretching compared to a hanging session.
But what do I make out of this?
Does it mean that the manual stretching will be more efficent in the long run when the workout produces bigger short term gains?

Read Hanging 101 and give your hanging routine more thought. I’m not a hanger but any of them, and I think it’s in the guide, agree typically gains come best between 10 and 15 lbs or so. This taking quite a bit of time to safely and effectively graduate to I’m unsure if long term effectiveness can be gauged at 2.7lbs.

If you prefer stretching, then that’s fine. I just think comparing hanging at this point will not be accurate and encompass the potential of that PE discipline to get you gains.

This is why when I started PEing again I didn’t bother hanging. There’s too much time that needs to be invested just in conditioning yourself to using a Hanger where you don’t really see any gains compared to manuals. Not to mention the breaks you have to take every 20 minutes to restore circulation. Then if your Hanger twists and you have to remove it and reattach it, it seems like another big waste of time with no productivity. I’m not knocking hanging, because once you’re into it it will work, but I feel manuals can be much more time effective and productive. Just my .02

I will try to answer your questions first, then offer some explanations.

In this case, you likely use more force manually. I don’t think there’s anything to make of it though, it’s not a good comparison given all the other variables.

I don’t think we can reach that conclusion, but I think there are some suppositions we can make.

In your case, there isn’t enough information on which to really make meaningful conclusions.

In general, I think keeping measurements of your BPFSL is a great way to track progress. I believe an increasing BPFSL is a sign of gains. However, it’s important to look at these measurements over a longer period of time; a single session won’t yield anything useful. The reason being that the measurements will likely go up and down as your penis goes through various stages of fatigue, recovery, growth, etc.

Additionally, in my experience with hanging and manual stretching there is a distinct difference between the dynamics of the stretch that could possibly account for the differences you’ve noticed after a single session. I don’t think this is the time to really dive into that though as it’s more speculative and not as important as my first point.

In the end, both means of PE clearly work. I wouldn’t be too overly concerned about what is most effective. There’s a lot more at play (time, lifestyle, money, etc.) and what’s always most important is consistency.

I think manual stretching is much more effective.

That said, I prefer hanging. I don’t seem to be able to get stretching work for me, but with the hanger, I can get a good grip and a tired hand is never an issue. It is however time consuming.

Pretty much same thing. Apart from that while manually stretching, you also stretching corpus covernosum with glands.
