Hillclimb's First Year Stealth PE Progress

Thanks Andy! I looked at it as an extension of my recent decon.

The Total Man Heat pad is far superior to the Thermedic IMO. It has taken some time to learn the best way to wear it, but now that I’ve added a few velcro straps, it is too hot on the highest setting. I can leave it on high (red) for a few minutes and then need to go to medium (green) for one minute before I can go back to high.

It’s not perfect. I wish that the power cord was longer. Like, 3-4 feet longer! Also, the size may be too large for guys under 8 inches BPFSL. Especially when hanging SD or BTC. Those issues aside, it’s definitely been an improvement to my routine and I’m looking forward to the results!

My girth after hanging is larger than it used to be because of the increased heat? My post-hanging BPFSL decreases slightly with the increased girth, but I’m feeling a more effective stretch. I remember 5.5squared noticing a similar girth increase when he switched from using a laptop
USB port to a wall cube. I feel this is not a concern and a clear sign that I am hitting greater temperatures while hanging.

I pumped today in my 1.75 in cylinder and reached a record LIT of 7 ⁵/⁸+. This could just be from the increased heat or the first gains on this cycle.

I like the Total Man heat better also. I can only manage the high setting for about 15 minutes and then I go to low for the duration.

I started my 3rd week of this cycle today. I’ve decided to ignore the 2 weeks that I did in December before Christmas since it was followed by a 2 week break. So it was 5 weeks of decon, 2 weeks back with a conservative first week, then 2 weeks off, then restart the cycle from the beginning with my new TM heat pad.

I’m having trouble measuring the strain % with this new heat pad. Post-hanging flaccid is much thicker and isn’t stretching much past my pre hanging BPFSL. It feels like the additional heat is giving a better stretch but the ruler doesn’t back up what I’m feeling. I’ve read about this happening to other FIRe hangers but can’t find any information on the effect this has on long term goals.

I will continue to use this pad at the highest heat that I can tolerate for the remainder of this cycle. If the results are lacking, the following cycle will be done with a brand new thermedic (or similar) pad for comparisons sake.

Today’s BPFSL was just shy of 8.375 in. - 21.2 cm before and after hanging but with a significant increase in flaccid girth for the post hanging stretch. This is nearly an 1/8 in. longer than at the end of my last cycle so I feel that I’m still making progress. I will continue measuring pre and post BPFSL but will be using the pre-hang measurement to track total cycle strain. The target is 5-6% or 4 more weeks. Whichever comes first. I’m at about 2.5% right now.

Just ordered my second thermedic and now I’m thinking I should have gone with the total man. I’m about 7.25” BPFSL so maybe it’s best for me to stick with the thermedic though.

Great progress. Any update on BPEL? I’m essentially running the same routine

I’m happy to return to this forum after not signing in for 8+ months! I finished my last cycle with diminishing effort and returns and decided to take a long decon. After 2 months of the decon, I began pumping 1-3 days a week at -5 hg or less for 15-30 minutes.

In the past 6 weeks I have started back using my ADS at very low tension to retrain my glans for vacuum hanging. My plan is to begin IR pad hanging in the next few weeks starting with light weights and following strain closely. If my results are similar to the last cycle (underwhelming), I will make the jump to ultrasound.

My measurements following the decon are similar to to my all-time highs with the exception of BPSFL which decreased by 3/8 of an inch to 7.9-8 inches.

BPEL: 7+ inch
MEG : 5.4+ inch
BEG : 6.5 inch

My overall shape is becoming more cylindrical from nearly 2 years of pumping. Midshaft to Base ratio remains similar but there is very little taper from Midshaft to Glans now. When I started my PE journey in 2023, I fit comfortably into the Phallosan Medium cup and now I often struggle to fit in the large.

I have several stories to share from a summer of showing off my new and improved fornix filler. I’ll save those for another thread.

That happened to me as well. I prefer the cylindrical shape to the baseball-bat shape I started with.

During times when I’m hanging my base girth grows noticeably; enough that my pump tube sits (uncomfortably!) high on the sides of the cone instead of the base. A few months after stopping, it goes back to the same as mid-shaft.

I prefer the cylinder look too Andy. I haven’t noticed much change in my base girth from a lack of hanging. Maybe because I use a larger diameter tube that is always expanding my base.

I’ve now been wearing my ADS again for 10 weeks. I wear it 6+ days a week for 5-12 hours a day. My average is about 8 hours/day with 2-3 lbs of tension. My plan is to get back to hanging eventually but that won’t be possible until after the holidays. I may need another short decon before starting from all this ADS use.

I’ve introduced a new style of pumping in the last 4 weeks. I’ve been starting with a warm up set of 5 minutes at 5 inHG. I then get as hard as possible and pump for 3 sets of 5-7 minutes at 10-12 inHG. The whole routine takes about 35 minutes and I try to do it everyday that I have time. I use firegoat rolls and a light jelq back to erection between sets. I’ve been blessed with great resistance to blisters and there has been no signs of desensitization or pelvic floor issues with the higher pressure.

BPEL increase from barely over 7 to 7.2
BPFSL up to roughly 8.4
MSEG is ALMOST to 5.5 but I won’t claim it yet.
