My first day of hanging.

I just got done with my first day using a Captain’s Hook hanger. I made a simple Bib hanger out of some pvc and hose clamps but the Captain’s Hook worked better for me. It may have been the way I made the Bib hanger that caused the discomfort. I was really surprised by how comfortable and easy it was to hang, which very much excited me because I am looking for length only, and to the best of my knowledge hanging is one of the best ways to achieve that.

I have some pics of the devices I made but am not completely sure of where to post them.

I just wanted to thank Bib, Captain, and all of the other members for the wealth of information and time they have given to this community.

Just one quick question, is it normal for your glands to become cold while you hang? I have absolutely no discomfort but I have noticed my glands become cold during a hanging session. I know it is because of a loss of circulation but is it normal?

Thanks everybody!

A certain cold feeling is normal. When it starts to change colors (purple/blue), that is a bad sign. Exactly how long do you have the hanger on before it starts to get cold?

If your pics are just device pics, post them here. If they are device pics in action, post them in Member Pics.

I am no hanger, but the cold is from loss of circulation so you should not allow it to continue for too long. That is why hanging should be done in multiple sets of no longer than 15 to 20 minutes each.

About 10 to 11 minutes into my hang. No signs of discoloration at all.

Thanks, they are just the devises so I will post them here.

Here is the Bib hanger I made.

Here is the Captain’s Hook hanger I made.

Good work! I made a Bib Hanger like you, I used to hang 18 pounds whit not problems for 20 minutes/3 times (Sorry my mistakes writing).

Marius - I see you’ve been a member since July. How long have you been PEing? I only ask because all the advice around here says to do the newbie routine for at least three months before trying any of the advanced stuff. I’ve been anxious to try clamping, but I’m waiting until I have a little more time under my belt. Now I have another reason to buy some Cable Clamps!

The Captain’s Hook hanger looks good, probably the most comfortable looking hanger I’ve seen yet. I’ll be curious to follow your progress.

(SideBanger leaves to go find the instructions on how to build a Captain’s Hook Hanger)

I have been PEing since I joined thunders place. Not very long. The thing with me is the fact that I really only want length and from what I have read hanging focuses mostly on length. I still do warm up, stretches, and kegels, but very few jelqs. I am starting out with light weight (5lbs) and will gradually increase it over the course of the next few months.

I will update my progress (typed with my fingers crossed) in the next few days.

Thanks, how long did it take you to get to 18lbs?
