How to Alternate Positions?

In my effort to “divide and conquer,” I have sub-divided and am now hanging off to the sides in an effort to attack my tunica. First, I hang to one side, later to the other.

My question (for vets who have actually gained) is, how long should I spend on each side? I just finished 4 days straight of hanging off to the left. I’m thinking that next week I’ll spend all week hanging to the right. Does this sound sensible?

My concern is that I’ll lose the progress I made working one side when I switch to the other. I can try adding some quick sets to the alternate side, but I’m wondering whether any of you has actual experience with this sort of thing.

I’m no hanging expert, as I’ve only gained 1/4” from hanging… but I think you should stay hanging regularly in one position, so if you hang left hang that way for a month or more, maybe even until a gain is made.

When I hang to the sides, it effects the ligs. In fact, I popped a ligament hanging to the left. Does it stress ligs and tunica equally?

MM,

Why not hang each side, alternating sets. Like, the first set to the right, the second to the left and so on?

I’m concerned that, if I do this, I’ll be attacking two separate structures and diluting my efforts at attacking either one. I only have so much time to hang. I want to maximize my chances of having something grow, even if it’s only on one side at a time.

It really depends on angle. Actually, I’m hanging up and to the left. I feel nothing in my ligs. But I do feel a sharp tugging on my ligs if I lower the angle just a few degrees.

Thanks. I’m going to start experimenting with angles.

What do you mean by “hanging alternate sides”? I just hang straight downward, whats the difference in sides?

I do mostly upward hanging these days. You know that the penis contains two corpora cavernosa that divide into separate crura inside the body. The left crus inserts into the left ischiopubic ramus and right crus inserts into the right ischiopubic ramus.

Hanging up and to the left focuses the stress on the right CC and the right crus. Hanging up and to the right focuses the stress on the left CC and left crus.

Focusing on one side at a time applies the weight from the hanger to a smaller amount of tissue. This increases the stress on that tissue beyond what could be achieved by hanging straight up with the same weight. More stress = more gains, so the story goes.

But then there’s the matter of when to switch sides. Do you wait until you see growth on one side, or do you alternate every set? That’s the reason for the thread.

I see. What device do you use to hang upwards?

I’ve got little hooks and bungee cords all over the house. One setup involves a bungee cord that hooks around the back of a chair and under one of my arms to the hanger. It pulls generally up and to the side.

Another setup involves a pair of hooks under my office desk—one to the left, one to the right. I thread a bungee cord over one of the hooks and to the weight. I can swivel in the chair to get a good sideways and upward pull.

Then there’s the Bowflex, which offers a myriad of options :) .

Wow, the Bowflex. :D

Modesto-

Have you arrived at a decision on this yet?

I’m going with ‘work both sides’ in my training, but thats primarily because to do otherwise would offend my libra nature…nothing founded in logic.

Love the Bowflex idea…will definitely have one in my PE gym :) .

Modesto,
I hang on both sides in a workout. Because I am targeting a smaller area, I can get a better workout than if I was target a large area. Stress X Time is greater in the smaller target area case than the larger target area case. Areas are the same.
I am very interested in what you decide to do as I am sure you will back it with sound anatomical justification.

Your query is illogical, hanging at different angles serves the purpose to alleviate stress or soreness but nothing else. Regardless how you hang the effect for all practical purposes is the same, breaking down tissue for increased exposure of your inner penis.

You can determine what length gains are realizable through hanging methods. You can expose most of your inner penis through weight hanging or stretching. Shaking the penis and encouraging blood flow to cause 10 to 20 percent tumescence and than hanging 8-10lbs will show you realizable gains. If your penis in this condition elongates to 7.5 inches that will be your achievable erect length and roughly speaking your maximum size. This may vary slightly based on levels and conditions of arousal but for all practical purposes this is what is achievable.

It is just not necessary to protractor the exercise to achieve some phantom gain. Length gains are fairly predictable and will fall into that small window but there will be times you might be surprised to find an 8 incher sprung. The penis is a moving target and both flaccid and erect levels take on characteristics that can and will be influenced by just about everything. It is little bit like a persons golf driving distance; we pretty much know what we are capable of but every now and again we surprise ourselves and wonder, “what just happened?” Hang long hang tough.
