I don’t know how this would affect a newbie who is unconditioned.
You are making the assumption that higher weights = greater intensity. This may not necessarily be the case: it may be that the veteran hangers have simply finally figured out the technical aspects of hanging. To put it another way, they simply have learned out how to apply the weight in the most effective manner.
The “more weight” approach to hanging does toughen up the penis, and as a result, makes gains more difficult to achieve. I believe that other ways of increasing hanging intensity are equally effective, and do not have the negatives associated with higher weights.
“Working the angles”, directing the stress of hanging more efficiently through a better hanger attachment, are all, in my opinion better ways of increasing hanging intensity. I would choose improving the skills of hanging over blindly (and riskily) increasing weight any day.
For the record, I have been doing PE many years, and only started manual PE in the last few months. All of my gains have come from pumping (mostly girth increase) and hanging (mostly length increase), combined with a cockring and traction wrapping.
