More proof that long periods of hanging may be beneficial?

The object of an All Day Session, ADS, is to provide the means for the micro tares to heal in an elongated condition. What the ADS needs to do is provide two things: traction and stretch. However you decide to accomplish that of course is your choice. The stretching part of the principle doesn’t need to be a continuous but often enough during the day that healing won’t take place while the penis is relaxed. Many times after heavy hanging the structures are traumatized and the body will try to protect and heal by causing accentuated retraction. When this happens you certainly will experience more difficulty getting things to stretch out again. An ADS will prevent that excessive retraction and keep things stretched. As I said this isn’t something that needs to be a static application but just several time a day. In the between times when your sitting your going to remain in a tractive state. That in and of itself will keep things stretched. When you stand up from your desk you’ll feel the tug and know that the healing process is being disrupted.

Ah okay, I was thinking All Day Stretcher. So I can just use a traction wrap but then do some stretches SO, SU etc when I go to the toilet or something? I go quite often to be fair lol.

Does anybody have a copy of the article that RB linked to in the first post of this thread?

More proof that long periods of hanging may be beneficial?

It’s now available at:

It states in the review the most effective amount of force for stretching was 4N which if I’m not mistaken is roughly 1 pound of force or around 450g.

Although I do wonder how those test results would have turned out on a live specimen.

Was there an amount of time with that force applied to cause the stretching? For limb 5 is says up to 12 hours. There is no time stated for limb 6.

I would question the 1 pound figure as I advise all my customers that 2 lbs is adequate for perpetuation of gains as an ADS over heavier hanging but it isn’t an amount that produces gains on it’s own. Initially if you haven’t done any hanging at all it might produce a small amount but after a month or two those gains will stop and additional weight is typically necessary

So you don’t think that using a ADS of 1 pound will be effective after jelqing?

I think you miss my point. After a period of assimilation an ADS would be ineffective in terms of producing gains at the same time though an ADS IS effective at perpetuating and retaining gains created by stress from other means, i.e. hanging. I seriously doubt that jelqing can produce the trauma necessary to produce gains by themselves although I know there are guys (an you may be one) that can apply some significant stresses upon there shafts though jelqing alone. If your producing gains from jelqing then certainly an ADS would be beneficial to retaining those gains.

I am trying a three stage hanging approach whereby I increase the hanging weight in three ten minute stages, with a brief break in between sets to allow blood flow to recover.

I have been reading some of the info here and it suggests, as much as I can gather, that progressive weight application might be a way to avoid the stiffening effect that ligament tissue exhibits when placed under load.

I have begun my session with 5 pounds for 10 minutes, I will then proceed to 7 1/2 pounds for 10 minutes and finish with 9 pounds.

This morning in my first regular 20 minute BTC session I experienced a gravelly almost popcorny effect in my ligaments that I understand now, from reading some of this thread, as moisture releasing from the ligament tissue.

I think this sensation is indicative of the threshold of ligament elasticity prior to resistance and toughening.

How often are you applying your routine? and are you experiencing a turtling affect after a session? If so are you using an ADS between sessions

Are there significant benefits to using an ADS between sets. I mean like hanging some during the morning. Then using an ADS then hanging again?

If your getting turtling then “Yes” an ADS would be an insurance policy against toughening and of course shortening. If you have the time to hang twice a day that is a great advantage. Where you really want to utilize an ADS is when you miss a day or two due to life’s demands. Keeping the ligs under a little stress is key to perpetual and consistent gains from hanging.

What is this shortening that people are talking about? I hung for about six months and had awesome gains. Then took a break because I’d poor EQ. I Did a couple months of pumping and now am hanging again.

Are people actually losing erect length?

Two things will cause a loss of length.

One is turtling after a hanging session that places a significant amount of stress on the ligs. When the body’s attention is given to the regressed ligaments following such a exercise there will be a loss of length because the body will interpret the condition as damage (which it is) and will apply a healing process will have 4 phases of which the last phase in that healing process is to return all tissues and structures to their genetic origin.

Two is when an extended period of time lapses without any maintenance to prevent shrinkage is allowed. Many vets will attest to a loss of length after long period of inattention. That period could be 2 years or more but nevertheless it does happen. The loss may not be great, like 1/4 to 1/2” but it will happen.
