What kind of routine works with PEweights

This is an answer to an email from one of my customers:

Do you have any routines that you feel have worked
well in using the PEweights?

Thanks,
David

Frankly Dave I really don’t believe in routines as such, as I have such sporadic hanging sessions. It’s all a matter of privacy. I think the only thing I really hang on to is principles and do what I can to meet them.

Principle #1: I hang as often as practical. That may be everyday, it may be every other day, it maybe three days between sessions. The point is that a routine is nice when I can adhere to it but I’ve learned that if my sessions get broken up that I still gain and so it’s OK I just relax and go with the flow. As far as the number of sets I’m able to accomplish, that also is very flexible but I’m usually able to get in 2 sets and more is nice.

Principle #2: I wear PEweights everyday for as long as I can. I put them on in the morning at work and leave them on all day. Sometimes skin irritation may motivate me to take them off for a while, but I’ll usually put them back on in a couple of hours.

Principle #3: I will only wear the number of rings that is comfortable. For me that number has been 3. I can and do wear 4 rings but that is based again on comfort if I challenge myself with 4 rings it means I must pay more attention to wrap and head condition as well as skin irritation. sometimes it’s just not worth the distraction.

If anyone has any other experiences and perspectives please feel free to share, especially your results.
Hope these help. I’ve never thought about the principles that I follow before. Thanks for the focus.

Just my option but I don’t think there is such a thing as a routine with “just” PE weights, golf weights or an ADS without a “hanging routine” that will apply stress that will yield some fatigue. I’m not saying you won’t see gains but my god how long would it take?

I agree that hanging must be done on a, “When I have privacy” moment. That means maybe once or twice a week for me. I have been using only 2.5 lbs with only a singel session of 20 minutes each time. Tody I am trying 5 lbs since I barely felt a pull last time. So far so good. I am curious how people can do ADS stretching. At my job, I am up and down, walking and just doing stuff all day. I wear scrubs which don’t cover up much. What kind of job do people perform who do exercise ADS methods?

Newbies to hanging probably would get the most benefit. My bet is that they could use PEweights or golf rings for a few months before having to apply a serious hanger. When I say a few months my guess would be probably no more then 3 before they saw a loss in gains.

Hey Monty,

Can I get some details your PE gain routine. I can’t Find them in threads(May be it needs lot of searching).Please post a short description of your routine(weight /time/ Gains / Duration) or send me the thread where I can find it.

Thanks in advance

Also Please give a brief description time and weight you used to wear as ADS golf weights.

Please understand that your drawing up a post from 2005. Today I wear 4 rings on a regular basis and can wear 5 rings like I used to wear 4, which means that I can handle 5 rings for 2 to 3 hours only. Whereas in the past 5 rings would be very uncomfortable and need to be re-wrapped at about the 1 hour mark.

My routine is all recorded on calendars. I would suggest that you look at the principles in the first post here. Principles are more important then routines. Routines should be designed around your life style and time availability and privacy issues.

Thanks Monty,

I got some outline of your routine in a thread (I don’t remember it exactly). Your approach was something like hang and heal in extended state using PE weights.

Since you are online one last question—

What weight should be considered optimum for hanging?? Whether it the max weight you can handle or some thing around 10- 12 lbs or more?? (Plz give any number to amount of weights if possible)

Thanks In advance

I’m of the philosophy that the least amount of weight that gets results is the best. I would start a newbe hanger around 5 pounds and then use them until you exhaust all gains possible from them. Then and only then move up in weight. I think the concept of sneaking up on your penis is a valid one.

So you see how much weight in terms of pounds really is irrelevant. It’s more a matter of what works. You need to look at many options aside from increasing weight.
i.e.: fulcrums, angles, herbs, chemicals (aspirin, Ibuprofen, Cayenne peppers, Vinegar (pickle brine), L-arginine).

When and how to use this stuff is key to keeping the gains going.

Hey Monty, I have always wanted to know the answer to this question, and maybe I have asked it in the past when I used to frequent here. Can you use PEweights for cementing your gains, rather than cementing via hanging? I would think that IF you could cement with the PEweights, this could be done in a more timely manner as opposed to cementing by hanging. What I try to do every day(all be it not a cementing process, only trying to heal process) is that I try and hang 2-3 sessions in the morning, for as many days during the week as I can, and then I go to work wearing the PEweights, usually 3 comfortably now. I tried 4, but irritation set in so I had to re-wrap.

Also I have noticed that I need to tape the weights together once on my shaft, so that they don’t pinch my skin. That has helped alot in the skin irritation.

Wow wonder how I missed this from so long ago?

Peweights should be the perfect way to cement gains. Heavy hanging shouldn’t be necessary as the rings keep things stretched just enough to allow healing in the elongated state. It certainly takes longer for healing to take place but they are more effective then hanging heavy for sporadic times to keep things stretched out.

Well I bought a set 5 rings and 1 end ring. My routine right now is I’m not taking any days off so I could get fatigue much faster . I started out with one ring plus the end ring.

Now I’m using 2 rings and 1 end ring. I’m on day 24 with no days off.

I’m almost at 200 hrs!!!

I really like these rings. I still haven’t measured yet since about a week I have been on 2 lbs . Another 2 weeks I will measure or less!!!

Let me give you some hints on measuring.
1st Measure when you start your program and write it down.

2nd of all make sure your base point of measurement is the same each and every time.
It’s easy to cheat and make yourself measure longer then is real. What I do is place my finger on the top of my ligament where it joins my pelvis bone and then I place my ruler on top of my finger. this puts the base point at the same spot each time.

3rd Keep a record of your measurement on a calendar and each month measure on the same day.
Progress is slow and when you measure often it can be deceiving. IOW measure all you want but only record once a month. I would measure two and three times a day during my routine. Guess I’m OC

4th When you see that you have stopped gaining that is the time to make a deliberate change in something. You could start hanging lightly. You could incorporate fulcrums. You could increase weight. It’s important to make changes one at a time to see what works. Don’t change a lot of things all at once or you won’t know what is working and what isn’t. When you understand what works then the future changes are clear and progress will be consistent.
