Hanging Progress

Hello this is my hanging progress thread.

Here are the goals with reporting my progress:
Documenting what works and what doesn’t. Staying consistent, and tracking gains.

As of today I am one week in. I am hanging three pounds over the side of my bed, with my legs pulled towards me. The angle is a mix between BTC and SD. I have a lot of privacy and time so I am able to hang several hours (at least 2 hours) every day.

Here is what my current routine looks like:

Wake up early around 6 and hang for 1 or 2 sets of 20 min.

After lunch do about another hour of hanging. 1230 or 1pm

In the afternoon do another hour (if I can manage the time it’s usually around 3) this is hard on most days though.

After dinner hang for an hour or two (usually like 6pm or so)

Hang another hour before bed (9pm)

I have a tendency to wake up in the middle of the night so whenever that happens, usually around 2 or 3am I will do a quick 20 minute set then go back to sleep.

As you can see I can usually get at least two or three hours of hanging each day. So far, my body has been responding very well. I feel a nice stretch when hanging, it is comfortable and there is no skin pinch from the hanger. My EQ is very good and even though it has been only a week I can tell I have gained.

If I had to guess, I would say I’ve gained maybe 1/10 inch in length and about 1/8 in girth. I anticipate that this will probably slow down a little as time goes on but I wish to ride the fatigue the best I can. I will continue using three pounds at least for another week to see if the gains continue.

After that I will begin doing some sets with 5 pounds but primarily stick to three to keep my tolerance low.

My short term goal is to gain just over a half inch in length to reach 7.5 BPEL. On a good day I am at 7 already so I don’t think it will take very long. That said I’m not in a rush to grow so I will take gains as they come.

In the long run I would like to reach 8.5 which would mean gaining over 1.5 inches from hanging. I think this could be accomplished in two years if I continue to grow at the rate I currently am (given appropriate changes to routine, that is.)

I am not as worried about making girth gains but they are welcome. I gain birth easily and already have at least 6 inches in circumference around the base. 6.5 is the most I would want in that department which might accidentally happen during this hanging routine.

Anyways that is all for now. I will probably update this at least once a week as a kind of journal for documenting progress and theories about PE.

Yesterday marked the start of my third week hanging. I have moved up from 3 pounds to 5 pounds. I will remain at 5 for as long as my body tells me there are gains to be made. Since I average about 15-20 hours every week or hang time I imagine that this might come “sooner rather than later” but I do believe this is relative to total quantity of time spent hanging.

Simply put, it I were hanging fewer hours per week then I would likely be able to progress in weight slower. My prediction for the current trend is about a pound each week or every other week given my time/week spent hanging.

Still doing BTC/SD. I feel at this point most of the skin stretching that was supposed to happen already has. This is nice because the pinching/burning feeling it from that no longer masks the sensation of the ligaments being stretched. I notice a dramatic difference between the stretching feeling I experience now compared to the one I experienced a few weeks ago.

In terms of gains, there has been very little as expected. I have not measured however I definitely notice some changes. My erections and flaccid hang are both longer from the base. I think this is owing to the suspensory ligaments lengthening. I have also gained a little girth. Overall it is bigger and heavier in my hand.

The shaft itself does not appear to have gained in size however. Once I shift to upwards angles like OTS I imagine the shaft itself will start to see gains. Until then I’m going to keep my eyes on the ligaments at the base because that seems like where the money is being made at the moment.

In closing, I’ve got the routine down and now know how to wear the hanger comfortably. Most of the skin stretching is done and I can really feel the tension on the ligaments with 5 lbs. The next few months of BTC/SD should prove rewarding so long as I remain consistent.

Maybe after the summer I will do an official measurement and switch to upper angles. The autumnal equinox would be a good time to make the transition. This means the darker days of the year could be spent at my desk working instead of laying down. I would probably be a little more productive that way anyways.

Anyways. That’s all for now.

Week 3 is coming to a close which means week 4 is here. Seven days from now will be the one month milestone!

Tonight I will add one pound, meaning I will be hanging a total of six pounds. I think my ligaments are ready to handle the weight, though I could probably stay at five pounds at the expense of longer sessions. Since I’m already hanging several hours every day I might as well increase the weight. If I continue at this rate, which I suspect I will, then I will reach ten pounds at the two month mark. After that I will begin considering upwards angles as per Bib’s LOT theory.

To report on the state of the task at hand:

Minor length and girth gains seem to have been made this week although I cannot be certain as I have not measured. Day by day it seems not much changes, but it is only when one is able to look at their progression over a vast expanse of time that they realize they have achieved something worthwhile. A sophisticated platitude but also a practical truism.

My EQ is fierce as always. I haven’t had sex in over a month, for I am newly single, so I have not been ejaculating much either. Indeed the very reason I began hanging in the first place was because I found myself without a girlfriend. This in consequence afforded a great deal of free time and privacy to focus on myself and, namely, hanging weight from my phallus.

In other words I’m not ready for further romantic engagements or commitments because it would compromise my PE routine. I am in the crucible, devout and steadfast. Celibate and introspective. For again over this expanse of time I will be able to construct a statue of a phallus that will only serve to better the next relationship, which I patiently and optimistically await.

It is a difficult task to predict future gains, let alone with any degree of accuracy. I don’t know when I will decide to have a measurement but it will be preceded by a prediction. A more meticulous man might’ve done better logging their data, but I am not this man. Again, a gain is a gain, is a gain. For posterity this meticulousness would find its purpose though I think what I can offer will ultimately suffice to advance this awkward science.

Putatively what we need to know is already known and I have high doubts of making any paradigmatic findings. The essence of the gain can already be made substantial by virtue of the practical wisdom found here,l. Obviously the application of work is necessary, too. A time. Time is necessary - for no change could be said to happen without the passage of time except for when nothing changes.

PE is alchemy. This is far less a platitude but I believe it’s a metaphor that can still lend itself to the practical sensibilities. No doubt few will read this and even fewer will apprehend such a claim as something not nonsensical. A deep spiritual understanding of PE, a kind of wisdom per se, I believe precedes these desired changes. For only the pure of heart may truly turn lead to gold.

Just got out of the shower. I was edging and jelqing while in there and noticed that I must be about a quarter inch longer than when I started hanging. I’m not going to measure yet but I doubt my eyes deceive me.

One thing that I added to my routine this week that I believe has helped:

After hanging sessions I use theraband to wrap at the base. The trick is to wrap it with correct pressure so that it functions as a clamp that encourages the shaft to get huge but also allows erections to settle down to a flaccid state. I’ve noticed that when it goes flaccid it remains long and plump and it also encourages me to get big erections several times in the course of a few hours. I do this in lieu of an ADS.

I believe this helps because it keeps the penis in an engorged state more often. I will write more about this technique on Sunday.

For now, I just wanted to document what I consider my first 1/4 inch gain. I am 23 days in.

Hello Thundersplace

I am officially one month in! During this month I have increased from three pounds up to six. Six pounds is the current weight I am hanging right now and I will stay there at least until next week.

For this update I would like to talk about my hanging and wrapping techniques as well as the bib hanger itself. But first a brief note about my gains so far:

I have successfully kept myself in a fatigued state for several weeks. In one month I have lengthened my penis by a quarter inch from hanging. Zero rest days were taken, and I make sure that my penis is in the hanger for at least one out of every twelve hours. This means I never go longer than twelve hours without hanging, and for PE in general, I am almost constantly doing something. I will expand on this point later.

It is clear my gains have come from pulling the suspensory ligaments out from my pelvic region. My flaccid stretch length has increased dramatically and at the base I can see the ligaments extending further from my body. A good analogy are the metal suspension wires that hold up bridges. They are more visible at the base of my penis because they have been pulled out, which has resulted in a length gain. That said, my exit point has lowered, so my erection is no closer to reaching my belly-button while laying down, which is a personal goal of mine. Progress will be made toward this end once I begin hanging OTS, I believe.

When I hang I lay on my bed and suspend the weight over the edge. I will also pull my legs closer to my body because it increases the stretch. Sometimes I will move my hips side to side to stretch the tissues in my hip flexor/groin area. Also, if I tilt my pelvis forward, then I can direct some of the stretch onto the shaft. So I believe this position, while it primarily pulls the ligaments, can also pull the tunica. Since I hang several hours every day I have had to become accustomed to working while laying down. This is not a big problem for me but I do look forward to when I start doing OTS because I’ll be able to work at my desk again.

If I am not hanging then I wrap theraband around the base so that it functions as a cock ring. Either that or I traction wrap the entire shaft to maintain an elongated state. Sometimes I will get erections between hanging sets or after training sessions. When I do get erections I make sure to wrap theraband around the base so that it functions like a clamp and while in this state I do Uli’s.

I personally believe it is important to achieve an erect or enlarged state after hanging sessions. It should be maintained for at least an hour. I don’t have any science to support the supposition that this somehow improves gains, but it seems like it would, as it is acclimating the penis to engorging with more blood while in an elongated state.

If one holds as true the principle that penguin gains are made with every hanging session, then it would make sense to get an erection after a hanging session in order to fully actualize the potential gains. Otherwise the healing process, which begins immediately after stress is removed, might reduce some of the gains.

Even if my theory is untrue it should go without saying that, as long as one is not overtraining, that Uli’s after hanging are a good capstone - and that traction wrapping and/or wrapping around the base to encourage a larger flaccid while healing is not a bad idea.

While sleeping I do bed fowfers. Essentially my goal is to have some sort of PE positive process happening at all times. If I am not hanging I am either doing Uli’s, fowfering, or traction/base wrapping. No days off, stay between the lines of healing and injury: ride the fatigue.

As for the Bib Hanger itself:

It is an excellent product and the money was well spent for it. I could or not be happier with the Bib Hanger!

Once I finished acclimating my skin to wearing it and got proper technique for wrapping, it was only a matter of learning how to properly tighten the hanger for my hanging angle. The only discomfort I experience is from ligaments or when I accidentally get a pubic hair stuck under the theraband when I’m hanging.

Wearing the hanger is very comfortable and in a way it feels good.

That said, I am open to the possibility of using other devices in the future - but that is a long ways away. For now, I would like to capitalize on my privacy by using the Bib. I am using it how it is meant to be used - the gains I have made this month are evidence of this. Hanging works. It just requires a well thought-out approach and a routine that works for your body, which necessarily means having adequate self knowledge.

This is all for now.

Note: next time I will write about the great importance of PPM theory. I believe following the guidelines of PPM is instrumental to making gains.

It is funny that I saw this thread before and at the same time you and me are learning the same things on our own ways, I started almost a month ago, I just stopped now to read everything you wrote here and that is sure we are doing the same things about the hanger and the knowledge about it. All the theories you want to prove are already proved in the bib’s forum, go there and take an afternoon to read it all, I already did.

You use the wrap to keep your penis post hang session in an elongated state just like the bib himself. Have you already put the ruler up a test and measured if you really gained 0,25 inches? That would be awesome. Keep on your progress.

Abraço.

Five weeks in. I decided to take the last two days off from hanging. Not sure yet if that was a good idea but we will see. Also, I’m still hanging six pounds, though I may increase to eight later this week.

Overall it feels good to get back into the routine after some days off. Also I’ve been sexually active lately but I want to bring that to an end so I can continue focusing on PE for now. Ultimately I need as much privacy as possible if I’m going to take this hanging thing seriously.

Even though it’s only been a little over a month I can definitely notice some gains. My ligaments come out of my body a lot more and also my shaft is all around more girthsome and vascular. I’m going to really buckle down this week to make some gains especially because I’m coming off of roughly 48 hours of no hanging.

I did periodically do some manual stretches and other things but for the most part I left PE at the door this weekend.

Another thing I’ve been thinking about lately is pacing. As in, I need to pace myself so that I don’t get burnt out. A lot of people don’t treat their bodies carefully and they end up overdoing it and not seeing any gains. This is a marathon not a sprint. There is no reason to seek gains as fast as possible. The goal is to create gains in general and find what works best to create consistent, systematic growth.

This is all I really need to say for now. I will perform my first measurement roughly one month from now. Until then I’m not going to worry about what the ruler says and instead make my judgments based on feeling.

Brief update:

Things have been hectic lately and my routine has been thrown off. I think healing began, so I’m currently using a fulcrum to disrupt the cell healing and return to a fatigued state. The good news is I have not lost any gains and I think that the fulcrum is doing some serious work.

Looking to the near future, I might end up in a situation where I will not be able to hang for the next three months due to privacy concerns and time constraints. If this ends up being the case, then I will return to a simple manual routine to cement what I’ve gained so far, then in August or September I will return to hanging as much as possible.

Either way, I’m prepared for whatever and am willing to be patient with my gains if I need to. If this means stopping hanging until my privacy situation improves, the so be it. If is just one of those things that need to be done carefully.

So far my gains from hanging have been great. I measured for the first time recently. I got ruler-shy and lost some hardness which I think affected my measurement. Taking that into account, my BPEL is between 7.0 and 7.25 inches. Not bad considering the fact that I was at 6.75 about two months ago.

Until next time.

👍🏼

You have gained an inch from hanging weghts only?Have you gained MSEG from hanging?

918pdk,

Hello. I started PE about two years ago with only manual exercise and gained an inch from that. Two months ago I started hanging and I’ve gained roughly 3/8 inch since then. If I can gain a full inch from hanging within the next year then I will be satisfied.

Two inch gain looks realistic for you since you are a big gainer.I have tha same goal as you, but I will try with extending first and then with hanging.

Brief update —

So I’ve had a good week of hanging. Because of inconsistency with hanging these last few weeks due to traveling and lack of privacy and time, I entered the early stages of solidifying into a plateau. Thankfully, for two reasons I was able to return to a state of fatigue. The first reason was that I was in a pre-plateau state, I believe, because I was still doing manual work despite the fact that I couldn’t hang. The second reason was fulcrum hanging I did at relatively high weight to break down the tissues from their healed state more quickly.

That said I’m still hanging with eight pounds, the same weight I have been hanging for nearly three weeks now. Additionally, I should not have any more privacy or time concerns in the near future, so I will be able to return to a more stable routine of hanging at least once every twelve hours. Depending on how my unit feels, I might want to increase to ten pounds within the next week or so.

There have been some slight adjustments to my routine. In addition to fulcrum hanging, which I will do sparingly, I now use an electric heat pad. Previously I used a water bottle filled with hot water but the heat pad is better in my opinion because it wraps around the entire shaft and has adjustable heat settings.

I have also discovered a problem with the way I hang the weights. Currently I am using dumbbells secures in a leather pouch which attaches to the S hook with a leather strap. Unfortunately the leather strap is about one thread away from tearing, so I will have to find another container for my dumbbells that will not break from the stress of the weight.

I am looking forward to making even more gains over the next few months. I will be settled into a more permanent living situation with privacy and spare time beginning on Saturday. My work schedule will be different however, so I have yet to map a PE routine onto my schedule changes. The bottom line includes a minimum of 3 hours hanging daily, and at least one set every twelve hours. Aside from that, I don’t really care how it gets done as long as it works.

🆒

Do you rest every other day?

Al101,

No sir. I hang daily and do my best to avoid rest days. Ideally I like to do two hours out of every twelve, or four hours a day.

If more than twelve hours pass and I haven’t done any hanging then I can feel my ligaments start to tighten from healing. Therefore in order to ride the fatigue, I need to bang at least once every twelve hours.

If I cannot hang for some reason then I do a manual routine to compensate.

After a great deal of fanfare surrounding the Angion Method I have decided to test it for myself. I am currently in the process of compiling research about various topics concerned with AM. Namely, different kinds of mechanical stresses and their different effects on extracellular matrix densities.

In other words, I am seeking to answer the following questions:

Does applying mechanical stress to the penis (I.e., extending, hanging, stretching) hinder the formation of new vasculature in the penis? Conversely, does the Angion Method have negative or redundant (I.e., non-positive or negligible) effects on a mechanical PE routine?

As we know, mechanical stress has been the bedrock for PE essentially since its origin. Angiogenesis, on the other hand, if proven to be successful, will provide a way of attaining growth in the penis that does not involve rendering mechanical stress on the phallus.

I believe something can be done in order to guarantee that a user can see gains from both mechanical stress and angiogenesis. This means that we may have to rethink what kind of mechanical stresses are optimal. My current hypothesis involves finding a way to render cyclic or periodic tension onto the penis, as opposed to static tension, without hindering circulation. Obviously this calls for either a new method of manual exercising, a different approach to using devices that are currently available, or perhaps a more sophisticated device that can accomplish this automatically - the design of which is a mystery to me.

As with the Angion Method, dietary and supplementary changes might be necessary to facilitate this. Especially if it is the ideal means to regulating collagen density in penis ligaments.

Enough of this for now. I am compiling research presently and will share once it’s synthesized - of course, including sources to support my reasoning.

For now, I am decided to test the Angion Method exclusively, which means I will no longer be hanging for the near future.

The vital “material cause” of the AM’s success seems to be, when pared-down for simplicity, twofold: Maximize angiogenesis, and reduce factors that inhibit it. Simple enough.

I’ve made some dietary changes in preparation. Meat is no longer part of my diet, and I have become more mindful about sodium consumption. To compensate, I have increased my consumption of beans which contain protein and fiber. Otherwise, few changes have been made. I already eat plenty of leafy-green salads with veggies and fruits, so I will continue doing that. And of course, drinking plenty of water. (I am considering having a glass of red wine every night after dinner, as it helps with vasodilation). I fast for 24 hours once every week, never eat before 7am, and never after 7pm.

In terms of supplements, I will take L-citrulline, L-arginine, and folic acid.

I work out almost every day, but in addition, I will add more cardio to my regimen.

As for the AM practice itself, I will do my best to perform the exercises for thirty minutes every eight hours. I will abide by this standard the best I can, keeping in mind that complications may occur that might force me to not be as punctual as I would like. Either way, I will be rigorous and steadfast.
