warming up & weight progressions

Is there any downsides to doing it this way in regards to hitting fatigue and should i look to attach the working weight right away instead of this progressive approach?
Once you’re warmed up you can start with 3 lbs.
I’d suggest 3 lbs for 15 minutes and then go right up to your 6 lbs. for another 30 minutes. Try that for a few days and if you have no complications, stretch out the 6 lb time for another 15 minutes for a full hour hang session. Be sure to follow your hang session up with 5 -10 minutes of very aggressive hand stretches, then wear your girth band or sleeve portion at the base to prevent retraction.
Gradually adding weight to your hang session is a good way to train. A suggested progression you can try once you get up to the 8 week level would be to start out with 3 lbs for 10 to 15 minutes, add two pounds for another 15 minutes, then another two pounds for 15 more minutes. As you gain experience and conditioning you can stretch out those time increments until you get up to a full hour.
Many define “fatigue” in terms of soreness. I don’t necessarily agree with that. You won’t always feel soreness with fatigue. A very loose, pliable flaccid penis that you can stretch beyond what your normal full flaccid length stretch is also considered fatigue in my estimation.
