Hanging 101

I appreciate the help Walter.

No BTC at all? Only SO with differing the angle with pelvis twisting?

May I ask you do you add jelqing and kegels to your routine or is it just hanging with + ADS?

I’m about to start hanging as soon as I receive my order from you.
I’m asking because I wanna get things done right and not just f-up my gains or even produce injury by doing too much too soon which might be quite possible case for a new guy (at least I think so).

Every one else can answer too, I preciate all the information I can get.

My guess is with the BTC the anchor would have to be way below you in the floor or some such. Not sure how to do that.

I got the bungee and am holding off on using it. Primarily because the minimum weight equivalent via the tensioning is 6 lb equivalency. I am not quite up to 5 lbs in my hanging (I do a ton of sets a day at low weight). When I get up there, then I plan to alternate it in with my BTC weight hanging. Bungee tensioning and weight hanging.

Jelqing and kegels can be used OK. Jelqing for restoring blood after a session, Kegels whenever you like.

Ok thanks. Still have one more question (for now) about “riding the fatigue”.

Based on my readings I know what fatigue is and how it should feel and I think that yesterday I managed to reach fatigue maybe first time ever(?) Definetely felt something new.

I did my regular workout with included warmup -> manual stretching -> jelqing -> warmdown and after that I put on AutoXsleeve with leg strap. I also applied a warm, almost hot rice sock on my penis and my ligs and went to lay down.
After about 30 minutes or something like that I felt this “dull ache” on my lights (nothing intolerable, but something you’ll notice). Feeling was just as described: “I need to lower the weight”. I figured out that this is the zone where I am supposed to be and accepted the feeling as it was.

My question is how is one supposed to react with fatigue?
Lower the weight or in my case reduce the stretch amount or bite your lip and stay determined? Last night I did the latter one and I stayed in the stretched state for two more hours. The feeling was absolutely nothing too bad, nothing intolerable at all but as I said, something you’ll be aware of.

Can’t wait the proper real hanging device to arrive and start my hanging program! Feeling very enthusiastic which undoubtedly is a good thing.

When you hit fatigue, the feeling will be of discomfort and you will have no choice but to reduce weight or stop altogether.

Currently I’m able to get between 4-5 sets of hanging about 5 times a week. Also, 1-2 days with 20 minutes of clamping. I do three sessions of piss pulls and stretches at work. Is this enough to. Continue gaining? Because,I’ve read you have to get at least 2 hours of hang time.

Only time will tell. I think it’s different for everyone.

Those are just averages. No one’s done a funded research on this. Best to do what you can and see if there is growth.

I have found that clamping at the same time as trying to accomplish length gains is counter productive. Clamping will only increase overall volume which is a negative when it comes to hanging for length. You really need to make a choice of one or the other.

Now if you were to hang SO then you could do angles and fulcrums which in the long run will not only produce length gains but you will achieve girth gains at the same time without affecting length gains progression.

Thanks Monty. I’m getting really close to consistently hitting near the 8 inch Mark. Once I get over that Mark I will be ecstatic. Then it will be on to the air clamp. I started doing SO with a IR lamp. I notice SO feels more comfortable than BTC. And I can feel the shaft and attachment points really pulling. From your experience did you hang more weight SO or BTC?

Damn was Mark the name of her big dicked ex?

:rofl:

The guide says:

If I’m hanging at the BTC angle, does it mean that every 12x sets I have to change the angle to SD, according to this section:

? That makes little sense for me, as SD, as far as I know, also targets suspensory and fundiform ligaments.

SO or Straight Out Hanging
SO hanging is the only way to go as far as I am concerned.
I do have a different approach to SO hanging in that I use a Bungee cord and anchor it in a couple of different ways. One is to anchor my bungee to a bracket that mounts on the back of my desk which is very close to crotch level. The other anchor is utilizing a bracket that fits on the hinge side of a door and can be moved up and down as needed.

Now one of the great advantages of SO hanging is the ability to not only pull straight out from the pelvis but merely twisting the hips from that position left or right which provides OTL (Over the Leg) angles. When those angles are incorporated into your routine you will find that length gains will progress faster.
Now in addition I could move the door bracket up or down to achieve additional angles and twisting the hips left or right from those positions just added to the stretching of the ligs so that SO was significantly enhanced. BTW stretching from the eye level anchor provides a stretch to the underside of the ligs which no other hanging position can provide.

There is also a very nice additional benefit to hanging angles and that is over the long term an increase in girth. I didn’t expect it but when my wife pointed out that her jaw was sore because I was bigger I checked and sure enough I had gained a full inch in girth. That meant that after I reached my length goal I didn’t have to do any girth work.
Now I should point out here that the amount of time devoted to angles doesn’t have to be anywhere near the SO position time. What is happening here is stretching the outer edges of the ligs which weakens them and then when the SO position is applied the center of the ligs stretches easier. Hence faster gains.

I would not recommend angles for more than a minute or two. The predominant time consumed for a routine should be in the SO position. Typically I would use a 20 minute hanging time. Given that Gangrene can set in when circulation is disrupted for periods exceeding 20 minutes, I strongly suggest routines that don’t exceed that 20 minute time limit. What I would do is release the clamp pressure on my hanger and allow 5 minutes or more for the color to return to normal then I would clamp up tight and do another 20 min. set with out taking the hanger off at all. This would allow me to accomplish several sets in a short amount of time.

Now I must reveal here that I found addition exercises that provides continued gains without increasing weight or stress levels. Those exercises incorporate Fulcrums into the angles above. If you’d like to receive a copy of my blog about Fulcrums please feel free to ask.
