Intense Hanging

Hey! I’ve added 1/8 an inch since the beginning of this thread. Will keep you posted. Im taking long breaks between my PE routines. Seems to be working

I’ve only been hanging for a few months and had some nice beginner gains but have not had enough time to see if my system works over the long haul. I came to subscribe to the school of thought that says less weight and more time is the way to go. With a vacuum hanger, I’ve been able to log lots of hours with lower amounts of weight. I’ve been doing as much as 8 hours a day in two hour sessions with the ADH (All Day Hanger) idea (the vacuum hanger attached to surgical tubing and a leg strap).

I’d be curious to hear more from the more experienced hangers about the two schools of thought: high weight, short time vs. low weight, long time.

How’s this been working out so far?

gerry! Its working well. I’ve been doing a lot of weights on my hanging days. Short sets of 2 or 3 minutes each. I m doing about 10-15 sets so that about 45 minutes of hanging time at the upper limits. I feel a very good fatigue through my shaft and I dont really have to bother about my glans going cold, numb etc.

However, I realise that rest is very important. I usually hang once in 4-5 days now. That’s roughly about 5-6 times a month which IMO is getting me the gains. The 4-5 days of rest is very crucial in recovery for the next session. Even in the gym, I tend to respond the same way to workouts I.e If I worked my biceps once a week, I notice them grow faster than if i worked them twice a week. Maybe the same is working on my Penis:)

I found the same to be true, although I haven’t seen a translation to EL just yet.

Any new results - very interested in your routine?

Thanks

I knocked it off for fear of injury - but it definetly produced results.

I figure I can always fall back on it if I get desperate.

I’ve been trying to find better ways without using tons of weight.

Thanks - could you tell me how much was your total gain for a given period of time?

godofdeviltry any new gains to report???

My BPEL is rather ruler shy, but my BPFSL increased 0.400 in two weeks. Weight was 1x28, 1x25, then 20 lbs for the rest of the sets. Three hours per day average, 20 minute sets.

I used the Bib Beta. I think this device is the best overall hanger - once you get a decent technique for wrapping. (I’m unlucky with vacuum hangers.)

BPFSL has fallen back about 0.150 since then.

45lb was the heaviest that Bib ever hung. That was the weight he’d reached just before he stopped hanging. He worked his way up to that weight incrementally over about two years and made most of his best gains at lower weights.

As far as hanging heavy is concerned, my reading lead me to believe that 25lbs is the ‘magic number’ when it comes to gains, although my research was done some time ago now and I was attacked by some of the former older members for proliferating the idea that we should be hanging with the aim of getting to 25lbs.

My advice would be to only increase weights at the speed you need to increase them to maintain your maximum ‘rate of gain’.

Here are more of my thoughts on the topic from another thread:

In addition to the above— looking back at the entire time I’ve been PEing it seems I have made incremental increases in force applied, throughout the time I’ve been using tractive force to gain length.

I started out with a Penimaster and took some time to get it to it’s full force. It was about that time that I switched to the Bib-hanger, and started off hanging very light. I worked my way up to 3kg and stayed at 3kg for a month or so before taking a deconditioning break and resuming at 3kg.

So it’s possible that even if you can never hang more than 3kg you should still be looking to increase your weight incrementally.

So, my advice would be not to try to hang too heavy too soon, since you probably really don’t need to as long as you increase the weight a little at a time so as to maintain your ‘maximum rate of gain’

I’d estimate the basic maximum rate of gain to be about 1.5eighths of an inch per month— I really don’t think it’s possible to gain at a faster rate than this.

My personal maximum rate of gain is 1eighth of an inch per month (about 1mm a week).

If you can match those ‘maximum rate of gain’ figures at a lower weight, there’s really no point in trying to hang heavier— you’d just be causing yourself more problems, including inhibited gains (there’s an argument that suggests that hanging very heavy weights can cause the collagen in the structure to knit in a way that can stop growth entirely. Collagen can knit in a certain way that it becomes as strong as tensile steel (run a search on xenolith’s threads for more information on collagen and gains)).

Great information - thanks

This seems to be a common rate of gain for many hangers around here (1mm per week and the 1/8” per month). So your probaly right in concluding the basic maximum gain rates for hangers (clamp/vise style, don’t have enough info on vacuum hanging yet) people would be those rates. :)
