Qs on 1st lig pop

I had a lig pop two nights ago after a hanging session. It actually happened post hanging while I was pushing my finger under the suspensory lig in the pubic area and lightly stretching it. It didn’t hurt, but it was kind of like a “whoa” moment. From reading old posts, I gather this is something of a PE rite of passage.

Question #1 — I do feel some tenderness and didn’t hang last night. Generally, after a first lig pop, should I refrain from hanging for a few days until the tenderness is gone, or now that the lig is in a weakened state, should I continue while I have the soreness?

Question #2 — Is the first lig pop a general sign of gains in progress or gains to come?

Most guys that have reported lig pops do not have any associated tenderness. I hesitate to say what you should do because quantifying the amount of soreness is tough. If you think you can handle it, no swelling, redness, etc., then hanging would probably be beneficial. Only you can judge. I believe in hanging in the weakened state, even if you have to use lower weights.

I think it is a sign of progress, stress applied, but I never associated a lig pop with gains. Other have reported that they thought they were associated with their gains.

Thanks, Bib.

There is no swelling or redness, just a little tenderness when probing with my fingers. I think ‘ll give it another day of rest and resume hanging, albeit very cautiously.

Speaking of which I had my first lig pop a few days ago too. I now know what people mean when they say “it didnt hurt but it felt kinda wierd”. I happened on a bathroom stretch while I was at work. I didnt get any tenderness or extra soreness at all, but hopefully its a sign that im moving further down the right path.
