Ehlolol's progress

Rest day.

Good session today, same routine as last time.

Another great session, edged for 1 hour. Did some very light jelqing while edging..

Lets see how sore I’ll be tomorrow.

Rest day.

—-

I am reading up on hanging. The thing right now is, that I feel overzealous because of my current status - I am so close to 8.
I feel like hanging would give me much better control over intensity levels, as I would have clear values (weights) which I know are healthy/normal..

Initially, I didn’t want to use devices because of the overhead they bring (hiding them, their cost, ..)..
But I have found a solution: the sock hanger xD
No one will suspect it being a PE device.
It costs me nothing.
As weight, Ill use something that is variable: a 2l bottle!
The ideas some guys on here have are genius!

I am not quite sure as of yet, but after today’s and tomorrows (additional) rest, I might pick up hanging with socks.
I have read the hanging 101 thread on here.

Lets see.. when I start, Ill do something like this:
(15 min hanging, 5 min jelqing, 10 min pause) = 1 set = 30 minutes
3 sets first week with 2 lbs, working up to 6 sets over 3 weeks.
15 * 6 = 90 minutes of hanging &
5 * 6 = 30 minutes of (lightish) jelqing
Then, over the course of following weeks, adding 0.5 lbs each week up to.. well, until I reach
my length goal.

Its just an idea, I might stick with my current routine though. Ill see.. Ill write tomorrow again whether Ill go with this idea.

Edit: Doesn’t have to be the sock-hanger. I’m looking for a very cheap, similar hanger (that is not noose type).. if I wont find any, Ill carefully try the sock hanger.
Edit2: OK, noose type hangers seem to be really dangerous. Ill find an appropriate one, hopefully..

Alright, so.. I had planned to rest for today but it seems like my dick is in top shape and hanging isn’t really exhausting, at least not yet, not at the weights am I at right now.

Btw., yeah, I decided to hang. I researched some and found the captn’s wench and I designed something mechanically identical with just 2 strips of ace bandages. And it works well, sitting at 5th set right now, at 2.5 lbs.

My routine:
10 min warm up
6x [20 min hanging, 5 min light jelqing under air heater, 5 min pause]
20+ min edging
— quite a lengthy routine!

Starting off with 2.5 lbs, increasing about 0.5 lbs per week gradually!
5 times on, 2 off where as on OFF days, I also exercise, but only do 1 set.
I increase on every on day by 0.1lbs, making me reach +0.5lbs weekly quota.
Increasing it like this is not really difficult since I use water bottles and I can measure them quite accurately.

Reasons why I switched to hanging:
I was overzealous with my girth routine, I felt very sore, especially yesterday.
Hanging also has the added benefit of giving me base girth, which is my primary goal in the
girth department - evening out BEG & MSEG..

Anyway, lets see where this will take me.
Best regards

Today’s session:

10m heating
6x [20m hanging at 2.5lbs, 5m light jelq, 5m pause]
30m edging

I dropped the idea of increasing the weight daily by 0.1lbs is, in kgs, really too little to bother.
I’ll just increase at the beginning of every week by 0.5lbs until I start feeling soreness during sets 1 & 2 and then stay at it until I feel no soreness through 6 sets, and only then advance.
As I have researched, it seems that soreness & “riding” it is key to hanging & hanging-gains.

Same session as yesterday, I’m really liking hanging so far!

Today I learnt how to attach the hanger properly.
The key to feeling very comfortable while hanging for me is press all the blood out of the tip.
If I feel the entire engorgement moving below the attachment point, the hanging becomes so nice. Otherwise my tip just engorges and there is pressure on it for 20 minutes which I dont really like because Im not sure whether thats healthy.. especially at higher weights later on!

Other than that, my PIs are fine. Woke up with raging boner.
Lately, I am realizing more and more how big I actually am.
I can now hold my entire penis without pressing -meaning NBPEL length- with both my hands while a bit of the tip is sticking out xD I can clearly remember that that was once my goal. Previously, I could only do 1 and 0.5 hands, I remember clearly that it only reached my middle finger on the second hand.

Edit: I was contemplating whether to do a 3on1off-2on1off or a 5on2off week cycle and right now I am leaning towards 5on2off.
I feel like once I reach to higher weights, the accumulation of stress/fatigue over 5 days will be greater than with 3 or 2 days. And 2 entire days off (kinda off, will still do 1 set) will be much better for recovery.

Edit2: In case anyone is curious, I am using a homebrew hanger:
- Cushioned pipe clamp 3/4” or 25-30mm ~ (picture)
- Wrap (ace like, but some other brand, cottonish - much smoother than ace!)
- Carabiner
- Thin belt about 10”, folded in half with carabiner at tip as attachment point for weights; both "legs" clamped along penis shaft on top of wrap with pipe clamp
- 1l water bottles, got 3 of em, using 1l atm.. - tied knots around heat to attach to carabiner

Because of this thread, I am adjusting my routine slightly.

The main routine (the hanging) stays the same.
Additionally, I will be doing this short routine:
- 5 min stretching
- 5 min edging
3-5 times a day, more or less!

I am thinking of about 12:00, 14:00, 16:00, 18:00 as my main time breaks for the short session.
I might skip one, I might do one additional. I will most likely not log these.
I will do these every day, therefore even on rest days. This requires me to do them on a lighter intensity, which is ok.
All I am aiming for is an elongated state..

Furthermore, I am going to actively try to stay wrapped for majority of day-time. My current situation permits this, as I am in
my last semester of my bachelors program and have pretty much just 3 courses and the bachelor work/thesis - I only go once to university per week.
Go lots of me-time. I can manage doing work for uni while working out my penis - quite easily.
Also, freelancing/working from home (as a CS student) is really nice!

So today’s session:
1x main session (hanging)
3x short session

Today was intense.. because it felt like all I did the entire day was PE..
I somehow have to make the short sessions more passive, so that it doesn’t like that again.
Perhaps space them out more, like 12:00 -> 15:00 -> 18:00

Hey brother great log and motivation - I have been doing multiple sessions per day for a week now. I would recommend trying it if you are thinking about it.

Thanks. Trying it! :)

Note to myself:
In the short sessions, either drop the jelqs or do them extremely lightly. The main jelq part should be in the resting phases inbetween the hanging sets.
Otherwise the stress accumulates too much and it might lead to overworking.
I am writing this after my first day of implementing it.. I probed my dick and it doesnt necessarily feel overworked/sore.. I guess I will be able to tell tomorrow.
So some adjustments will be needed..
It just feels jelly-like.. thoroughly worked out xD Man I bet it will be quite sore tomorrow >.<

Rest day today:

Main session:
- 10m warm up - air heater
- 1x [20 min hanging at 2.5 lbs, 5 min light c-grip jelqing]

3 Short sessions: 12:00, 15:00, 18:00
- 5 min stretching:
— left/right/down fulcrum stretch
— up/out normal stretch
each 50s hold, 10s shake
- no jelqs

All Day Wrap: anti turtling (not that I turtle any more) + slightly longer than usual size in the wrap.
Looking to upgrade my ADW to ADS - some hombrewing is due!

Today, I used the c grip for jelqing and I gotto say I love it. It gives me so much control over the other grips.
Using a normal grip, I feel like I am putting pressure on places I don’t really wish to put pressure on (dorsal vein or pinching ok grip at one side where it connects, …)
With the c grip, I can put pressure uniformly & exactly on the CC chambers and nowhere else.
This is fantastic!

While experimenting and playing around with the engorged penis after the jelq, I somehow discovered a new type of exercise - Im not sure how effective it is but it widens the CC laterally quite well.
Im gonna document it here; when I pay more attention to girth -as I have gone back to length for the time being- Ill try it out:
1. Grab your penis along its entire shaft with your entire hand (all fingers), do not close your grip - pretty much form an U below it (with all fingers!).
2. Now, lightly squeeze the U so that the topside of your penis bulges out slightly
3. With the other hand, using the thumb preferably, start at the base and slowly stroke towards the tip while pressing your thumb down, pretty much closing the “U” shape.
This laterally widens the CC chambers but I’m not quite sure whether its a healthy exercise since you are kinda applying force on the dorsal arteries.

There is a similar exercise I read somewhere on here where they just squash the penis with a pan. Its pretty much the same mechanics.. Well whatever, Ill come back to it much later.

The c grip is nice indeed, the fingers and hands tire quite quickly though (at least mine do). It is an other weapon to target the ccs, but you should have no problem using the overhanded grip. Keep the soft web of skin between thumb and forefinger over the deep dorsal vein, the thumb and the other fingers do not close the grip as you do not want to put pressure on the cs, the pressure is applied on the very sides of each cc all the time.

When I do the OK grip in an overhand fashion, you say I should place it so that when I tighten the grip, the place where it tightens the least (where forefinger & thumb pretty much come together) should be above the dorsal vein?
I can kinda imagine it working like that.
But the thing is, how do I squeeze uniformly? I mean you say to not close the grip - by that I understand ~ do not make the circle (OK grip) smaller, as in radius - but how else do I apply force?
Do you perhaps mean to transition from a circle shape (OK) to a more oval shape and the sides of the grip that get closer to each other should compress the CCs?

All in all, I think I could work out how to do it but I think overall, the c-grip is superior. I will have to see if it tires me out as quickly as you. I hope not xD
I mean Im only doing bursts of 5 min light jelqing every half an hour… Lets see xD

Thanks for your help!

It seems like I forgot to write it down here.
I have some suspicions as to why gains slow/stop. I have read many times that once BPEL catches up to BPFSL, gains either stop or dramatically slow down.
I have observed this for me, here is a little excerpt from my offline journal:

DATE | BPFSL (cm in) | BPEL (cm in)
09/16/15 - 16.50cm 6.50”
09/21/15 17.70cm 7.00” 17.00cm 6.70”
09/22/15 18.00cm 7.10” -
09/25/15 - 17.50cm 6.90”
10/14/15 - 18.20cm 7.10”
10/23/15 18.70cm 7.36” -
11/01/15 18.80cm 7.40” 18.30cm 7.2”
11/07/15 19.20cm 7.56” -
11/13/15 - 18.70cm 7.36”
12/02/15 19.50cm 7.67” 19.00cm 7.48”
01/22/16 19.30cm 7.60” 19.00cm 7.48”
01/27/16 19.30cm 7.60” 19.30cm 7.60”
02/19/16 19.50cm 7.67” 19.30cm 7.60”
<snip>
”-” means either not measured or stayed the same!
Right now, my BPFSL and BPEL are about the same!

From this data, I can conclude that I gained most efficiently when my BPFSL was much larger than my BPEL.
It seems like as my BPEL raced my BPFSL and caught up, the gains slowed down.
This is also the reason why I revived the thread “BFS Theory”. I was in search of ways to increase BPFSL-only in order to make gaining more efficient again.

The way I PEed was I think the reason why I gained so quickly - I think the main contributor was edging hours after a session.
I think edging is what encloses the gap between BPEL and BPFSL. If you read the (outdated) TGC theory, it basically states that if these measurements
are too close to each other, drop all type of girth work (which hour-long edging pretty much is.. I would say) and concentrate on length. This way, you increase your BPFSL
and take a hit on your EQ. Once the gap is wide enough, “fill” it in with girth type of work.
This absolutely makes sense.

The reason I am writing this is this:
I am dropping edging & jelqs (only from short sessions) for the time being.
I am mainly focusing on length -> 80-90% length work, 10-20% girth work.
The type of girth “work” I am doing right now is light jelqing to refresh blood to my dick in the resting phase between hanging sets. Thats all!
No edging.. Only length.

I am hoping to increase my BPFSL by doing this.
Furthermore, once this cycle comes to an end and I take my decon break, I will apply the BFS theory to gauge when to stop, as I said.

Edit: A side note, I think anyone that has a BPFSL much larger than BPEL has potential for incredible & fast growth.
They only need to edge for 1-2 hours daily, in one session, preferably after main workout.
I mean this is the way I did it.
BPFSL is potential BPEL (~PBPEL?) !!
