The Cable Clamp as a hanger

The Cable Clamp as a hanger

Hello everyone – old friends and y’all I haven’t met yet. I’m posting for the first time in…5 years? Wow. I spent a big portion of my life here between 2003 and 2010, then slacked off as Facebook, work, family and other annoyances took over too much of my life. I reached 8 inches BPL from ~6.5”, and felt pretty satisfied. I got great unsolicited compliments from women. (One, while giving me head: “look! I can hide behind it!”)

I still stay in condition. I stretch frequently, and do my bed fowfers almost every night. I clamp occasionally – when work and privacy allows – and do uli squeezes when I’m nicely bonered-up. I pump, too – although not as frequently as I’d like.

I’ve also recently started hanging again. I want to maintain my length, and see if I can maybe eek out another half inch. Back when I was PEinig intensely I used a Capt’n’s wench, but lately I’ve been using a tool common in many PE arsenals, the Cable Clamp.

I should first emphasize that I’ve only used this system with relatively low weight – no more than 10 pounds. This should be considered an advanced technique, used only by experienced PEers.

Anyway, as you’ll see in the pictures, this just involves using the little hole on the handle of a cable clamp to hold the hanging weight. It’s simple and inexpensive. (And maybe something like this has been shared before. I haven’t thoroughly searched.)

I have two different kinds.

Cable Clamp Pro

Bender Gardner Cable Wraptor (medium)

I found both types in the electrical aisle at Fred Meyer, a department store chain in the Pacific Northwest.

Steps:

1. Narrow the opening of the cable clamp, both to make it super tight around your wrap, and more comfortable when tightened. I used a couple layers of gauze tape, wrapped with cloth first aid tape.

2. Put a weight-hanger of some sort through the hole in the clamp. You’ll see I use a hook from the pan-hanging rack in my kitchen. It fits perfectly through the hole in the yellow cable clamp, or hanging off a zip-tie on the red one. The handle of the 10 lb dumbbell fits just right in the wide part of the hook.

3. Wrap your penis. As with any hanging, the wrap needs to be fairly tight around the shaft, so it doesn’t all slip off when weight is applied. (The sleeve in the picture there is a cut portion of a longer silicone sleeve I found in a sex store years ago. I don’t see it online anywhere, but it’s very tight – too tight to put on an erection – but just right for hanging. I also use non-stick elastic first aid wrap, and a short length of silicone tubing I got years ago with a Vac-u-hanger.)

4. Click the cable clamp around the shaft as tightly as you comfortably can.

5. Hang the weight off, and… hang.

That’s pretty much it. It’s pretty comfortable – you know, if hanging a 10-pound weight off your dick can be comfortable.

While I’m here, other PE-related things I’ve been doing:

For one, I’m using both of those modified cable clamps for clamping. I can get a tighter clamp-down with the narrower opening.

Also, I may not be up with the current vernacular, but I’ve always loved doing what I think we used to call Uli squeezes and Uli bends. I also have a woman friend who has sort of a fetish for big, well-defined forearms. And, my job has required several long-distance drives from Seattle to Los Angeles. Enter this steering wheel cover called JustSqueezeIt that I first saw in my golf-freak older brother’s pickup. It looks silly – the video is sillier – but now whenever I’m in the car I do sets of squeezes to strengthen my grip. It helps for Crossfit, where my point-of-failure with heavier weights has been my grip, but I’ve also found it really helps with Uli squeezes. I can grip and hold around the base really tight, and then grip my other hand below the head and compress and bend the shaft between my hands. After several weeks of the grip exercises, I can now grip tighter, and longer. The thing is pricey, but I drive a lot, so it’s been a worthwhile purchase.

Lastly, I also still occasionally like to clamp with Camco Multi Clamp that I first talked about back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. It could double as a medieval torture device, but when tightened-down, it provides a super tight clamp.

That’s all for now. I’ll try to answer any questions, although I may not be as responsive as I used to be. I’m swamped with work these days.

Hmm, I have a little hole on my clamp too. Might give it a shot next year.

But we're never gonna survive, unless we get a little crazy.

Using the hole in the cable clamp as the connection to the weight works well, but when weight is applied it creates a slight bowing effect, because the weight isn’t hanging straight down. It’s hanging from the hole — an inch or so off-center from the penis.

I don’t mind the bowing, because it feels like it stretches the tunica better, and my ligs are pretty stretched out. But, it struck me (ouch!) this morning to try adding hanging straps to the clamp, so the stretch is straighter when weight is applied.

I tried using shoe string and zip ties, as shown in the pictures. I’ve tested both at 10 pounds, for at least 5 minutes. Both methods are comfortable, and gave me a very nice extended stretch.

It took a lot of adjusting to make both sides the same length, and prevent them from moving too much when weight is applied. To find the right setting, I left the straps a little lose, and then used a 5-pound weight to test and calibrate the straps. I moved the straps around the clamp until they felt right and the weight was hanging straight down, and then tightened the connections. I found the zip ties easier to calibrate. I left the ends long until the adjusting felt right, and then cut the ends off.

If you use zip ties like I did in the picture where I used the yellow clamp, be sure to turn the trimmed ends away from your cock so they don’t poke you when the hanger is under weight.

Like any hanging, be sure you align the clamp so it’s griping the sides of your penis — not the top and bottom, which can damage the dorsal (top) nerve.

I encourage anyone interested to make and test their own versions of this, so we crowdsource the design and maybe come up with something that’s effective, inexpensive, and relatively easy to make; or not — I won’t be offended if guys try it and conclude it’s not a good concept.

I purchased the larger clamp and wrapped it with a thick foam you use to insulate doors and only left 1/4 gap when you fully close clamp I then use a couple of socks around my penis and easily hung 15 pounds with no pain or discomfort. I currently own a Male Hanger and it works fine however the clamp takes less than a minute to fully be ready to hang where as the Male Hanger can take up to 5 minutes if I’m lucky.

I spent a total of $4.50 and 20 minutes to wrap and tape the clamp I used an s hook however you can also use a large ring and set it in the middle and then use it to hang the s hook. VERY EASY AND SUPER COMFORTABLE!

Wow, that’s a lot of weight! You’re using a large clamp? Any chance you could post a picture?

I’ve been using the medium yellow clamp pictured in post #5 here, hanging with 10 pounds for ~40 minutes — average of three sessions a week — and I’ve gained at least a 1/4 inch in FSL since I started around the first week of November.

I used two cable clamps to hold my sock hanger. I used a 1.5 inch neoprene ball stretcher around my shaft under the sock to improve comfort. I built up to 13 lbs.


Start 11/09 BPEL: 5.5", EG: 4.4"

Current. BPEL: 6:4", EG: 5.5"

This is an excellent idea. I have not started length exercises for the reason that I haven’t had the right equipment till now(?).

Ill head to the stores tomorrow and take a look what I can do to adjust my large clamp pro. I don’t have a medium clamp but I believe the large one is better because it has holes in several places that tend to be bigger than on the medium. Which makes room for creativity.

I’m hyped!

Now: NBPEL: 6.7 MSEG: 5.9

Welcome back and thanks for sharing! :)

Initially, I was skeptical, but looking at those pictures, it actually makes a lot of sense. I’m using a Bib Starter I just purchased, but who knows that I’ll try in the future.

So, no negative experiences with 8 BPEL? I assume you may have trouble going balls deep with that size?

I’m just over 7” BPEL and I’m going for 8” now, I think. At least 7,5” BPEL. I have been a little in doubt as I do like the balls deep and raw animalistic sex where I can lose myself without any concern of hurting anyone. But at the same time I’d really like to be in the 8 club also. :)

Great Idea Inexpensive, too

I was searching for a clean way to hang and have a compact setup. Aesthetically speaking, I liked the zen hanger weights. The solid green weights just called out to me. So with my extra money, I bought the 6.5 pound set.

Hanging for a month now, I gained .5, but I have been jelqing for the better part of a few years. Feeling confident, I moved my weight up to 5.5 pounds over 4 weeks and was handling the stretch quite well.

But then the cotton noose started slipping as my extra skin was loosing as well. So I hit that wall everyone seems to get from hanging. Slippage due to extra skin. WACK.

So now, I have really pretty weights that slip off me. I will try this clamp idea. It looks legit. It might actually work with the ADS as well.

I already have a clamp that I bought back in Fall2017 for girth clamping. Though.. Hanging is done flaccid, I think I might have to size down from that one.

If it works well with my Zen hanger weights, I will be sure to share my experience.

Sept2019-6.75BPEL x 5.25G

I used duck tape to build up the cable clamp, a sock the I cut up and folded to cover my shaft and glans when the clamp sits, an S hook and a plastic bad that I can add weight to. A very comfortable and inexpensive setup.


Sept 2020 BPEL 16.5-17.5 cm, BPFLS 17.5-18 cm. Clamped x4+ BPEL 18-19 cm. Head girth 12.5 cm, MSG 16 cm, BG 16.5 to 18 cm

Goal is 21 cm BPEL, 20 cm EL, 15 cm head girth.

You have stumbled onto the pitfalls of a noose style hanging device… Once you get up to around the 6 lb range, which isn’t much, the weight slips off your penis, it also creates significant skin stretch and ultimately if used long enough you can turn a circumcision into an uncircumcised condition. Where you end up with a wad of bubble gum skin in the frenulum area or the unsightly “turkey neck” look. I don’t know too many men or women that find that look appealing.

The other potential side effect is nerve damage and ED.

Do be careful, and avoid noose style/shoestring hangers. My first experience hanging was with a homemade shoestring hanger, and while it did work, it was a very dangerous device to use.

As LG said, once you go past a certain weight it will either slip off or cause injury which could lead to a “dead dick”. If money is an issue, just make a super cheap vac cap with some PVC and a test plug. Under $5, and all that is needed would be a decent sleeve. With that, you can hang up to 15lbs with no issues.

I used one for a few months until I was gifted a compression style clamp attachment to use with my weight system.
