I am retiring from hanging for now - How do I cement my gains?

Hey guys,

I have lost some length after my peak measurements during hanging. I am struggling some with my EQ at the moment, so it might be contributing.

I measured my BPFSL yesterday and it is still not very far from where it was during my hanging days; 18,5 cm.

I also consistently measure 17,5 cm BPEL, but not at high EQ levels, so I suspect that my real BPEL now is 18,0 cm, showing a 0,5 cm cemented gain from my last hanging period.

It is hard to tell if I would have kept more if I had tapered of using the hanger and not just PE weights exclusively.

Regards,

I also support the constant ease of pressure to cement gains. If you continue to work hard even once or twice a week it will restart the healing process again and you are more likely to lose what you have already gained. Keep on an ADS daily but don’t keep the pressure too high. Allow everything to heal at a very comfortable stretch. Almost unnoticeable. I think that is the best way to go about it.

Today I passed the 100 hour mark. I believe it’s 80 days in a row now without a break.

I hope to have made some gains. My BPFSL is longer, but I have not dared to measure BPEL lately. BPFSL is fluctuating around 19,0 cm BPEL +-.

While I’ve been consistent, lately I’ve been doing as little as 2 sets per day on some days. I’m consistent with my ADS though and piss pulls as often as I have the chance.

I’m currently using the Xleeve with the weighted cap in the end which weighs 460 grams/16,2 ounces. Since I’m seated a lot, i doesn’t always hang though, but the traction wrap effect of the xleeve keeps my flaccid constantly around 5”.

Anyway, I will try to hang as much as I can up until the 24th or so, but then, I think I will start to phase out of hanging and start working on girth instead.

I could continue hanging, but I have a very busy life and other important thing to do and I feel that hanging is disrupting. I also want to get a regular sex life and that will be hard to combine with my current PE-regime.

So, when I retire do I just keep hanging 1-2 sets for a while while using the Xleeve or do I quit cold turkey while using an AD?

I plan on possibly pumping and jelqing for a while when I start my hanging “retirement”.

Thanks.

Let’s just analyze this for a minute. If you plan to retire from hanging, you don’t care that your penis becomes tougher - you just want to ‘solidify’ the gains you already got. So there is no reason to not use a higher weight for less sets. The higher weight will stretch the penis faster. Does this makes sense?

Quitting cold turkey and using an ADS is your best bet for keeping whatever gains you’ve made. An ADS will keep things stretched while at the same time allowing the bodies healing processes to solidify the gain condition you’ve achieved. You definitely don’t want to do any hanging because you could create new trauma to the already stretched tissues. All you need to do is lightly keep things stretched but not stressed. Wear the ADS for at least a couple of weeks. Then put it on for one day every two or three weeks after that just to maintain those gains.

I don’t know man, I haven’t lost any length since I stopped cold turkey about 6 months ago. Girth is unstable though and mostly depends on how vicious my erection is that day. If you are paranoid about losing gains then some mild stretching and jelqing every other day should maintain EQ levels. I want to get back on a routine but I can’t seem to find the motivation to work hard again :(

I don’t have enough knowledge to say whether it does or not.

Regarding my retirement, if I’m fortunate to log a 0,25” gain and cement 18,0 cm BPEL, I don’t think I’ll ever work on length ever again. I want more girth though.

But didn’t you say somewhere that I could/should hang 1-2 sets per day for a while after I reached my goals?

What you’re saying makes sense in theory, and personally, I would absolutely love to retire the hanger and quit cold turkey. But intuitively, I would think that the longer I hang, the less chance of regression?

Was that as a hanger? Did you use an ADS when you quit?

Well, then check what knowledgeable guys have to say about, there are a lot of threads on this subjec. This is the opinion of two guys that have been around about forever
Dino9X7 - “Cementing” Gains
SS4Jelq - Cementing gains.

I think you can find others who spoke about. Just a hint. :)

Dino says: “Continue for 2-4 weeks after a gain is recorded to cement it”.

SS4Jelqs says that what he’s saying is only his opinion and based on his own experience, but that he thinks new gains must be made upon new ones in order to cement old ones.

Do you disagree with Monty’s method of quitting cold turkey and cementing with an ADS?

I think it makes a lot of sense in theory.

Still, I think that intuitively, it would increase my chances of cementing any potential gains I’ve made at this point, if I for example hung for one extra month at say 2-3 sets before I quit cold turkey with the ADS.

Well, I decided to retire. Just got tired of the hanging and don’t really have time to keep hanging anyway.

So now I’m wearing the Xleeve during all my waking hours and will probably start using Monty’s rings in a few days when I get home to my parents. I will most likely use his rings at home and the Xleeve when I’m out and about since it’s far more stealthy. I should be getting 14 hours with ADS per day.

The Xleeve provides a nice pull though. The cap is 0,4 kg and the sleeve stretches the penis fairly well. Hopefully Monty’s right about his cementing theory. : )

This time I hung for 88 days in a row without fail for a total of 106 hours of hanging time. Some weeks I was doing a lot of volume, but due to exams, I’ve been doing as little as 2-3 sets per day the last weeks. I also wore the ADS as often as I could.

BPEL pre-hanging is a solid 17,5 cm BPEL. BPFSL roughly the same. BPFSL is now around 19,0 cm and I have not yet measured erect length. I plan to start jelqing to improve EQ and gain girth. Maybe I need to clamp to get girth, but I think I will see what I can do with pumping and jelqing first.

If I can get a solid 18,0 cm BPEL, I would be very happy and may not ever want to do length work ever gain. I need some more girth though. :)

Hanging is tedious and stressful on the cock. Pumping a couple of times a week for 15-30 minutes will maintain any gains in length or girth you have gotten from PE.

Also you could use post pumped cock erection size for sex if you want a bit bigger cock during the act.

The reason I mention pumping is it is requires very little input, and it feels good to see the cock expanding into the tube.

Yeah, I’ll probably add some pumping as of tomorrow.

As for now, I’m consistently wearing the ADS and will start with Monty’s rings tomorrow.

My erections seems slightly weak lately. Not sure if it’s because of the hanging or due to hormonal issues that I’ve had for the last years. I’m leaning on the latter.

EQ is not very good these days.

I’ve added some light pumping and jelqing.

I wonder if it’s the 12 hour + of ADS per day or if it’s hormonal issues that causes reduced EQ?

Man what happened have you measured after 100 plus hours ? Have you gained and what angles have you used ?

I was afraid of measuring when I was hanging, not wanting to be disappointed, and my EQ have not been really good yet, so I have not felt like measuring yet.

My BPFSL increased though and I just checked it around 18,5 cm + BPEL.

I will measure BPEL once I get a good erection. I’m prepared to be disappointed though.
