Hanging 101

Hi guys been hanging consistently for 2 months.

No gains yet almost want to throw in the towel

but figured i’d check in.

When do people start to notice gains from hanging.

Is there an average time people start to notice.

What’s your routine like? On/off days?

Will help people understand what advice to give.

Good question, and there are a few variables to consider:

1. What type of device hanging device are you using? Some cause more harm than good and actually induce trauma that is counterproductive to making PE gains.
2. What other PE exercises are you doing if any? Exactly what is your routine? How often and how long do you train?
3. How old are you? Do you smoke? Are you overweight?

In reality two months is a very short span of time. Penis enlargement is a marathon, not a sprint!
It took me a full year to gain my first inch, two more years to gain my second inch, and a fourth year to gain another 3/8”.
I didn’t start to see any measurable gains until after my 3rd month of dedicated, consistent training.

thanks so much for reply

40 age
using Sizewarrior hanger I tried the total man but didn’t like the pressure on the head the sizewarrior is comfortable and no head pressure

started at 2lbs and worked my way up to 5.5lbs

i get 2 10 min sessions in the am then some times 2 10 min sessions at night rest 5 mins between sessions

I use heat before and after

smoke herb no cigarettes

and i don’t do any other PE exercise
keeping it strictly hanging

i’m in good shape and eat well

I do feel more fullness in general in the day
and EQ has been good

Did not take any rest days for the first few weeks now i take weekends off and if eq is off i take a day off

let me know if you need any more info

i feel like i’m progressing and don’t want to give up right before gains start to show

For compression hanging like Bib’s, which thera band do you guys prefer?

If you’ve read any of my posts, you know I’m not a fan of compression clamp hangers. However if you’re using one and you’re not having any issues, keep training. Since you’re still using a fairly light amount of weight and haven’t seen any measurable gain, you might want to try going a little heavier.
I’d also recommend a few additional things to help promote growth…

After each hang session do 5-10 minutes of very aggressive hand stretches, pulling in a variety of directions as hard as you can tolerate.
Then wear a section of silicon sleeve or Girth Band at the base of your penis to prevent “tutling” or retraction while you recover. I personally will wear 3-4 Girth Bands on my stretched flaccid penis for 2-3 hours after a hang session, and then transition to a single at the base. You can also wear an ADS between your morning hang session and your evening session provided you have one. This too will help keep a mild amount of traction on your penile anatomy while you recover. Flaccid stretched gains will manifest erect gains!

Training with a compression clamp is much different than with a vacuum based system like the one I make and use. With the compression clamp you’re limited to the amount of time you can wear due the the fact that they cut off or hinder blood circulation. Which is why you can only do 10 minute hang sessions. I however can hang for a full hour and don’t need to do multiple short 10 minute sets. I believe longer sets with similar weight promotes full fatigue and yields a better stretch with no compression trauma.
Many don’t realize that compression trauma can actually be counterproductive to making any PE gains. So if you have a difficult time achieving a firm erection an hour after your compression clamp hang session that’s an indication you’re experiencing compression trauma.

Furthermore I believe in rest days. Training 7 days a week doesn’t allow for sufficient time to heal and recover. I would recommend training 3 days on and one day off, two days on and one day off.
On your off days, work on erection quality. Meaning…. achieve and erection (preferably without porn stimulation) and maintain it for 15-20 minutes at a level of 75% - 100% firmness. After all what good is a larger penis if you can’t get hard? Include Kegel exercises on off days too. Once your exhausted and can no longer maintain a full erection, it’s a good time to incorporate a pump session for 10-15 minutes. Don’t use excessive pump pressures! After the pump session I advise 5 minutes of jelqing to finish off the session. Use grape seed or coconut oil. Follow up with the ADS or Girth Bands to prevent retraction and keep your flaccid stretched while you recover.

That’s all my personal advice and tips I utilized to make my gains. Best of luck on your PE journey, try those things and see if they don’t make a difference.

I believe the silver is the best for compression hangers. The thickness is key. Not my choice since I am old school with a double wrap. I use a sweat shirt fabric first and an elastic ankle band over the top.

I’m using around 7-10 inch ace bandage and 20 inch grey theraband. I also tried silver tb which is a bit thicker compared to the grey one. Both works fine for me but I prefer the grey one which is a bit more ”stretchy”. The silver one I bought online, the grey tb was delivered with the hanger. If I would go with only tb (no ace) I would probably choose silver tb due to the thickness (and it appears less sticky to the skin).

I thought up to 20 minute sessions where ok with compression hangers?

Time limits depend on how much weight you’re attempting to hang. Light weight 5 lbs. or less could be worn a little longer.
When you get up to heavier weight is when you’ll need to tighten the clamp tighter. Which is turn will compromise blood flow.
Hindering circulation can lead to necrosis and nerve damage. IMO that’s a huge gamble to take with your penis. Ask a forum question to those who use a compression clamp to post a photo of what their penis looks like after a 20 minute hang session with 15 lbs. Or try it yourself…. If however at anytime your penis starts to get cold, turn blue or begins to hurt - STOP!

Thanks for the info. Still at light weights so haven’t reached that point yet but great to know

Commercial compression hangers have been around for over 20 years and a max time of 20 minutes per set been the recommendation from the start for safety reason. My max weight at the moment is over 30 lbs (took 18 months to work up to) and I handle that weight for 20 minutes in the first set and with more comfort than I did with 15 lbs a year ago. It’s all about perfecting your technique which needs to be better/perfected with heavier weights. All the bruising and red spots I had were with weights below 10 lbs (bad wrapping technique and not enough tightening, not conditioned, going too fast, were the main reasons).

A compression hanger is in my opinion safer than an extender/hanger with a noose, at 4-5 lbs a noose extender could be worn for 45-60 minutes without any real problems more than maybe bad tunica and noose attachment fatigue (and done that kind of sets myself).

Not saying that anyone should go longer than 20 min with a compression hanger at any weight but the statement (about a 10 minute limit and a little bit more with lighter weights) is clearly made from commercial reasons, not based on real (compression) hanger knowledge.

Interesting point on the red spots Dick Cockburn. I got them a couple of weeks back. I blamed them on heating too much on my first set. I got a load of them on the skin only below the point where the hanger was attached. Where yours on skin only too? Wrapping technique helped you?

I had to go to 10 min sets with my captains wench @ 30oz. Moved to a vac hanger. Starting 60min sets tomorrow.

which angle do you use?

I do SO mostly as BTC is not that comfortable while working. On 8lbs now with cone only.
