Hanging with FIRe

Some guys use micropore tape, but its sticky and painful to get off. You can use water but its just a pain. I use vet wrap, you can find it cheap on Amazon. Its what LG sends with their hanger, but the overcharge for it.

Thank you for clarification. So here is my weight range according to that:

0.1 MPa > 4.4 lbs (2 kg) heat on (must be at ~39-42c therapeutic temp at this point)
0.17 MPa > 7.5 lbs (3.4 kg) heat / max weight
9 lbs > And then I add 20% for the cool down set (no pad for 10-15 minutes?)

Will l never go beyond this max 7.5 lbs heated on my daily routine?

And where can I get information about my routine starting weight, durations, and going forward throughout the year? My goal is to add 2 inch to my BPEL however long it takes but looking at 5.5 that can be achieved in a year.

Kyrpa also suggests staying with as low a weight as you can and still gain; i.e., stay close to the 0.1 mpa point. This may take a little trial and error but if one has not undertaken any PE or is coming off a long decon break this should provide early success. Your values are very high for starting out. Review 5.5squared’s progress report as an example of the weights he used in relation to his 0.1 mpa point.

Thanks I will do some digging and math on 5.5. Wish there was a sticky tutorial that outlines the process step-by-step for newbie routine without the theory.

I use micropore tape and put a few drops of shea butter oil on it. Easy to slip into the cup, creates a better seal, then over the hour of hanging it breaks down the glue so removal is a fair bit easier and less painful.

If using micropore, hot water releases the glue easily. Also, micro foam tape is what I recently switched to, it’s quite a bit better in my opinion and comes off easily with no water or anything.

Guys,

How do you tape before doing vec hanging?

Another Question:

Hey ScienceGuy - great blog!

Some use a pulley attached under a desk to avoid having a hanging pull.
Doesn’t the pulley reduce the weight or am I thinking wrong?

How did 5.5 hang - with a pulley or straight down?

A single pulley does not reduce the weight.

I tape with one piece straight down the middle, then one more piece diagonal each side to cover the rest of the glans.

5.5 hung straight down while standing.

I hope 5.5 can chime in about if hanging straight down did anything to his lig and angle of erection. Like he stated before previous information taught us to stretch the ligament first . When I first got into this I was skeptical of stretching the ligament and changing erection angle. I’ve only been hanging for a couple weeks with lightweight and BTC contemplating if I should switch to SD instead and do tunica work first. Super curious to see if he gained all of that progress without stretching the ligament and changing erection angle

Thanks, I’ll try to get some. The tape by total man is kinda ass lol.

Awesome, Thanks also I’ll see if I can get some at CVS while waiting for the micropore tape and see which one fits better. Cheer man!

Actually he stated that he never targeted any Lig stretches nor any angle on purpose. That he used to hang straight down because it was convenient to him with his standing desk.
If you skim the forum you’ll find lot of peoples replicating his routine and many are experiencing with different angles.
Choose one that suits you and adapt the weights accordingly…

Great thread and yes, never in my life have I been consistent well all that is to change now, I have been fairly consistent with a pumping routine and feel like now is a great time to add in a hanging routine as well, I already have a male hanger and my idea is simply to wrap my unit in my heat pad and attach the male hanger over this, not sure how this will work in practise but will be interesting to see.

As I understand the theory (The characteristics of the tunica albuginea revisited) there is minimal benefit moving from the elastic region and into the plastic region and that with the addition of heat, we can achieve the same stress benefit while staying in the elastic region.

A critical point for me is the idea of staying with as low a weight as you can while still having growth. The practical application of this point is that you may start with too low of weight and not see gains, thus needing to increase and wait for results. So the trial and error aspect may cost time which could lead to disillusionment. However I am unsure how realistic my scenario will be.

It seems a common routine is coming together in that we start stretching with no heat (or turn the heatbpads on) with a weight slightly below 0.1mpa inflection point, then add weight 5 min or so until we exceed 0.1mpa target at the same time the heat pad is heated (~13 min).

We continue to add weight while under therapeutic heat (30 minutes minimum) until we reach our target weight which is less than the 0.17mpa point. We rhen turn off heat and add 20% weight for the cool down period.

For me, there is about a 3lb spread from 0.1mpa to 0.17mpa.
