More fulcrum hanging ideas..

I’m putting a lot of thought into fulcrum hanging as it looks like a good way to get some extreme stretch on the tunica. My problem however, is that I use the regular Bib (not the starter) and since I’m still not that long, I have little space between the hanger and base to place an object to fulcrum hang over. I have done my homework on the subject, but I’d appreciate any ideas on how to better accomplish this, or for that matter, any other ideas on how to get some intense tunica stretch (using the regular hanger).

Currently, I hang 10 lbs OTS but it seems to put unnecessary pressure on either the head or a nerve creating mild discomfort. I can, however, in that OTS posistion, pull back the shaft with a finger (away from my body creating somewhat of a fulcrum hang) and it relieves the pressure but at the same time tends to prove that the actual pull on the shaft is much less and that 10 lbs is not enough weight. (I know this sounds confusing, but try it and see if you can tell what I’m trying to convey here). It also seems that fulcrum hanging is best done by hanging the penis over a (broad) rod on top of your legs that resembles a BTC angle, although I was experimenting with an OTS version which used a full hot water bottle and worked right nicely. Any ideas..

How much space? Is there no room even for a thin bar?

I used a fulcrum with SO hanging, using an under the desk system Info here:

Woah horsie, sort the mild discomfort before you solve the weight problem.

Are you 100% sure there is no slippage?

If it is solved by pulling on the shaft, the angle that the head in placed in the head well might need to be changed. Just test this as you test all other variables with hanging, change it a bit, see how it is, change a bit more etc.

Also when I once had head discomfort, the hex nuts were quite far apart in relation to each other. If you toe out, maybe you need to toe out less, if that makes sense.

I dont know what you mean, how do you get a BTC angle if there is a rod on your legs?

If it works nicely then use that. Mike2002 used a similar method by the sounds of it.

Good Luck

Let me see if I can clarify this a little. I’m certain the hanger is tight enough and there is no slippage, at least at 10 lbs. When I used my finger to create the fulcrum, I also used my free arm to lift all weight from the hanger and then realeased the weight (slowly) with the finger fulcrum still in place, and this created no discomfort or very little pull for that matter. (you’ll just have to try it to see). Keep in mind, all this is in the OTS posistion. I almost think that if I moved the hanger closer to the base, this discomfort would disappear but then how much of the tunica am I stretching?? Also I changed the hanger from toed out to toed in for tunica stretch as I want to get the most possible stretch for my time. It makes sense (to me at least) that toed out would concetrate closer to the base and this would be counter- productive to tunica stretch.

When I mentioned the BTC angle it was figurative. I know its actually more of a SO, it just resembles BTC by the way it hangs over the rod and straight down. This looks like it would be very effective if I can figure out how to do it. I think Rb had the idea of putting a spool on a steel rod but I also think this was with the starter. Im a mechanic by trade so I should be able to rig something up but if not, I might just have to plop down the cash for a starter (considering Bib still sells them)

Did you say almost 1/2” in a month! That’s outrageous man! That sure is a nice setup you have there, similar to what I have in mind but I was just going to let the weight hang over the bar. Anyway I’ve read a lot of your threads and I’m glad to see you’ve found a technique that finally got you some WELL OVERDUE gians!

kiel,

Are you sure that the rope with the weight is taut? If you grab it where it hooks to the S-Hook, the slide down your hand you might find you can increase the pull by getting rid of the slack.

The tunica goes all along the shaft, so feel free to move the hanger position back. Just make sure that you are not stretching skin, as the further back the hanger is, the more stress the skin will take.

>Also I changed the hanger from toed out to toed in for tunica stretch as I want to get the most possible stretch for my time. It makes sense (to me at least) that toed out would concetrate closer to the base and this would be counter- productive to tunica stretch.<

Not necessary, you can toe out and the tunica under where the hanger is attached will be stretched. Do toe in though if you find it more comfortable and better for you than toe out.

>This looks like it would be very effective if I can figure out how to do it. I think Rb had the idea of putting a spool on a steel rod but I also think this was with the starter.<

The fulcrum, yeah, its fun. Concentrates the stretch, for me I feel it below the fulcrum, on the underside. How it is in the pic, I feel it on the part near the base, with the steepest angle. RB is a manual guy, he uses the fulcrum with manual stretching.

>Im a mechanic by trade so I should be able to rig something up but if not, I might just have to plop down the cash for a starter (considering Bib still sells them)<

I would hope so, being a mechanic. I think that it would be easier to fit a fulcrum in when hanging SO.

>Did you say almost 1/2” in a month! That’s outrageous man!<

I could hardly believe it myself. I got the first 1/4, then about a month later I got a second 1/4. Awesome.

>That sure is a nice setup you have there, similar to what I have in mind but I was just going to let the weight hang over the bar. Anyway I’ve read a lot of your threads and I’m glad to see you’ve found a technique that finally got you some WELL OVERDUE gians!<

Hey, thats a really nice thing to say, thanks. Although I want using this setup then. When I got the gains, I was hanging BTC, I think the gains came from tunica stretch though, and maybe a little from ligs. As I stuck to one angle, I felt the stress in different places week by week, it seemed as though I was blasting through each limiting factor in turn. Very motivating.

Let me know how you go building your pulley or whatever you end up doing, and let me know if you still get the same problems when you use it.

Just to make sure we’re on the same page (although I’m sure we are), when I quoted

>I also used my free arm to lift all weight from the hanger and then released the weight (slowly) with the finger fulcrum still in place, and this created no discomfort or very little pull for that matter. <

I meant that the finger itself is the actual fulcrum device, as is the cylinder (or whatever) in your picture. I have no trouble with slack in the line, I’m just coming to the conclusion that 10 lbs is not enough for ample tunica stretch, but is enough to create a little discomfort if the hanger is placed very close to the head in an OTS posistion. I guess I’m just a little greedy (cautious mind you but greedy). I’ll move the hanger back tommorrow and hopefully by then have some kind of device made up so I can FBL (fulcrum between legs). Ha, thought up a new one!

>I’m just coming to the conclusion that 10 lbs is not enough for ample tunica stretch, but is enough to create a little discomfort if the hanger is placed very close to the head in an OTS posistion.<

Your discomfort may be caused by the angle of your dick in the hanger, but another possibility is torque on the hanger itself. As they come from the “factory,” the hanger straps are angled slightly to give the head a bit of upward turn. This can cause the rear end of the hanger to put an uncomfortable amount of pressure on the top of the shaft, especially in the OTS position. I adjusted my strap to make it more in line with the body of the hanger. It’s still angled slightly, maybe half as much as it was originally. This made OTS hanging more comfortable and didn’t have any negative effect on other positions. I’m using a Starter. I don’t know if this can be an issue with the full size Bib, but keep it in mind when you troubleshoot.

We’re the same length. I’m using a fulcrum rod over my legs, but there isn’t much room to adjust its position. You’ll have even less with the longer hanger. Probably your best bet is to rig something that doesn’t have to rest on your thighs so it can be positioned lower on the shaft (closer to your nuts). A fat D-ring shaped thing might work. Tie a strap on the D and run the strap OTS with appropriate weight on the end.

Someone mentioned fulcrum stretching with big plastic rings from a child’s playset. That could work too - doesn’t have to be a D shape. Whatever you use needs to be of a diameter large enough so the load isn’t concentrated on one small spot. 1/2” is about the lower limit for my comfort, assuming it’s padded. Bigger is better if there’s room.

Today at work I took a steel rod and cut it to about 18”. I took a thread spool and bored it so I could put in a brass bushing for strength. I stuck about 7” of the rod in the vise and bent it to a very slight angle and then slid on the spool. Did the same to the other side and it kind of resembles a low cut handlebar on a dirtbike or 4 wheeler. It works great but I need to replace the thread spool with something a little wider, and I really need to buy a starter.

Are they still being sold? I’m thinking about getting a hanger, if they still have the starters, maybe I’ll begin my hanging career with it. :)

Yes, hangers are still available.
