Temporary BPEL gains

Finishing up week 4 of no hanging. I’ve been doing a few workouts a week with jelqing and clamping, but no hanging or stretching. All my measurements are the same, but my EQ is down. My lifestyle has been a bit erratic the past few weeks.. Not eating as good as I should, drinking a bit more then I should and not working out as much as I should. So I’m sure thats the cause of the EQ issue. I do miss hanging though.

When I do come back, should I start back down at 5lbs, 3 sets, 20 mins, 5 days a week? Keep in mind, I was doing sets of 10 - 20lbs prior.

Will start back in 2 weeks - 6/3. Any input on the question in the previous post?

BTW, so far no real loss in size. Jelqing and Clamping to pass the time.

Hey happi-g-more how long have you been hanging before this short break your having. Have you made any gains when hanging with 20lb to me thats alot of weight to be hanging with.

Unfortunately, I don’t keep a journal, so its hard to say exactly what how long I’ve hung and with how much weight. 20lbs is a lot of weight and really seems to be max. With my setup, it just gets uncomfortable. 10-15 lbs is perfect for SD or BTC. As for the gains, I did make early gains from the newbie routine and and then when I moved on to hanging and clamping. At my largest, post workout I had gotten 8bpel and 6 girth (thats post clamp though). Thats up from my starting measurements of approx 7bpel and 5girth

This is a huge mistake. Keeping a log of your workouts is VITAL, as you can now see. I would suggest immediately making this a priority. You need to be able to see what you did on what date and with how much weight, because the human brain does not have the capacity to remember such things over long periods of time (usually). Keeping a log should enable you to improve your routines drastically more than you’re able to now without one.

I’m curious - did you ever measure any girth gains - base or midshaft or otherwise, from your hanging endeavors? I know you clamp too, but did you get any girth gains that you feel you can attribute to hanging?

Starting back today. I’ve been jelqing and clamping, so I’m still pretty conditioned. Ill be starting with 5 lbs, 15 min sets, as many as I can do till I feel some fatigue.

I absolutely got some base girth from hanging. I believe this attributed to strengthening the ischiocavernous muscle.. But I could be wrong

Thanks for that, I’d never heard of the ischiocavernosus muscle, but upon a quick Google search it seems you may easily be right!

That’s a really interesting diagram, I’ve never seen that before and never heard of these ‘muscles’ at the base of the penis. Perhaps you’re not only strengthening them, but exposing them more from the inner workings of the body! A very interesting idea. **goes and does more dick muscle research**

Started yesterday with a 5lb set, 10mins straight down and 10btc. Didnt feel shit. Bumped up to 10lbs for the same cycle (10 and 10, SD and BTC). Man, I forgot how much I love the hanging. I don’t know why, but I respond really well.
