Signs of fatigue?

What are signs of fatigue? How do I feel them where actually? Especially hanging fatigue.

For example: I’m hanging 2.75lbs/3x20 minute sets right now and only thing I feel is a subtle sensation. Maybe comparable with cooling down. Nothing too bad and no reason to stop hanging with same weight. Is this fatigue or would it be way more noticeable and forces someone to quit or at least lower the weight?

Goal should be the maximum weight that allows you to hang without pain but still challenging?

What position are you hanging in? When I started at 2.5 lbs straight down didn’t feel much had to do BTC now at 5 lbs I can feel a little more but I don’t know if I’m reaching fatigue either figured ill bump weight 1.5 every week and find it eventually

I’m only a few months down the line with hanging so maybe not the best to respond. I mainly hang BTC to target the ligaments. So I want to feel the stretch in my ligaments, can feel this almost up to my bellybutton. Though I also feel fatigue in other areas, most likely because I am only starting and those other areas of my penis need to toughen up. I am currently at 5kg, roughly 11lb. I don’t think I felt much fatigue till I was near 3.5kg though I also had issues trying to ensure the internals were taking the stress and not my skin.

I’m sure it feels different for every person. In my own experience it feels like a dull ache in the base of my penis. I hang BTC and SD primarily and it’s typically during my 2nd set where the ache is obvious and pronounced. At this point I know if I want to do an additional set I will have to reduce the weight or duration to maintain comfort or prevent possible injury.

So to recap
Dull and Aching Sensation
Feels like I couldn’t do another set at the same weight and time without being really uncomfortable.

I agree with all of this. Also want to add:
When you get fatigue you will know it. It’s very distinct feel of soreness in the ligs (if you do BTC, SD) and often an inability to continue hang with the same weight in the next set. I had my first fatigue at around 15-17 lbs.
The goal with hanging is to get fatigue in the first or second set (some do warm up sets) and then ride the fatigue (most of the time with less weight). However, it’s important to work up to your first fatigue weight (conditioning). I would guess it took me 3-4 months of hanging to get to a weight that gave me my first fatigue. In my case I stayed in the same weight zone for a long time (around 17-22 lbs). Hanging is not about increasing your max weight every week, it’s about using a weight that gives you fatigue early on. That could sometimes mean you have to lower your weight between hanging sessions.

Does it work like this: You find a weight which is only bearable for 1 or 2 sets. After this you lower your weights until you can finish with 3 sets? So if my current weight isn’t heavy enough to feel any fatigue, should I increase? That’s how I understand it.

And how should I work up it and how I know if I’m conditioned enough? Right now I increase weight for about 2 lbs every week.

Personally I added around 1 lbs per week and I didn’t add sets and weight the same week. If I had edema or bruising I didn’t add weight the next week, instead tried to improve my technique.

Eventually you will reach a weight that gives you fatigue early on, like 5-10 minutes left in set 1. The aim is to do at least 4-5 sets per day with fatigue. If you do less than 3 sets and do that often there is a risk that you strengthen your ligs rather than keeping them in a weakened state. The result with few sets per day could be that you end up with higher and higher weights but no or little fatigue (and no results). When I had privacy time for 1-2 hours of actual hang time per day I had the same max weight for 8 months.

Basically yes.

You want to reach fatigue which feels like a dull ache. It never reaches the point of “pain” or “sharp sensation”. For me it comes on slowly and then reaches a “steady dull aching feeling” throughout the set.

If possible, always increase time before increasing weight. 2 pounds per week sounds like a lot.

There was a point in my hanging journey when I was sort of rushing the process and was up to 13.75 pounds. I took a deconditioning break and now I can hit fatigue at 6.25 pounds. I also implement some other methods which are considered more advanced to reach fatigue faster. I’ll incorporate a short 10-minute fulcrum hang to help me hit fatigue faster for subsequent hanging sets which I generally do SD.

Time = hang time or also amount of sets? I’m doing 3x20 sets right now with about 6 lbs and put a heating pad on pelvic area and shaft. Never feels like that I have to stop hanging. Skin just gets more irritated the longer I hang but dick itself feels ok but I sometimes feel a little sensation after hanging. Maybe something like a recovery signal? Is that the dull ache?

Are there any other methods to fatigue easier? I’m trying out swinging but what about jelqing or would that be too much?

Is fatigue mainly noticeable on shaft or pelvic area? Most times hanging feels more like a core workout.

Time is total time. So if right now you’re doing 3 sets at 20 minutes for a total of 60 minutes, you can increase time per set or number of sets. You can do 3 sets at 25 minutes or 4 sets at 20 minutes. Or any combination to increase total time hanging.

The fatigue sensation should occur during the hanging set, not after the set.

Swinging helps with fatigue also. Consistently hanging will also allow subsequent sets to reach fatigue easier and faster. I fulcrum a bit as mentioned. I know there’s a “shockloading” theory in which you do a girth routine like pumping prior to hanging which is supposed to help reach fatigue faster but I don’t have much experience with it.

For me fatigue is noticeable in the shaft.

I believe ultimately you will find that girth routines immediately prior to extension is less productive.

But can the fatigue sensation stay after hanging? Maybe using a heat pad during hanging makes the sensation less noticeable at first. I did swinging drop-sets today and it feels kinda sore-like after hours. Difficult to explain. Maybe like burning biceps but not really painful.

If this sensation is fatigue and lasts till my next session, should I use my last hanging weight I used?

Interesting, the shockloading theory is quite popular in other PE outlets. Why do you think it is less productive for extension?

I feel fatigue the most and consistently throughout a hanging session. Yes, after the session you may feel some “after effects” but I’m not sure if I would call that “fatigue”, maybe just soreness or repair.

I would never “start” at my last (heaviest) hanging weight I used in the previous session. I would gradually build back up towards that hanging weight and base it on feel.

For example I hanged yesterday at 6.25 pounds at my heaviest. I started my session today at 2.5 pounds for like 5 minutes until my penis felt stretched, then went to 3.75 pounds for another 5 minutes, then went to 5 pounds for longer. I stayed at 5 pounds for a while because I felt a good fatigue at that weight. I just went up to 6.25 pounds because I was losing the fatigue from 5 pounds. I’m feeling the same good fatigue at 6.25 pounds that I was previously at 5 pounds. I’m swinging a bit right now as I stand to do work which definitely helps with fatigue.

Does anyone notice a weird/tense sphincter muscle feeling after hanging sessions? Thought may be caused of sitting on edge of chair but then I read an article about hanging fatigue (BibHanger’s Explanation of Using *Fatigue* to Gain Fast - GetHung) and mentioned sore sphincter muscle but I can’t find anything about here
