Stuck with FIRe?

Hello,

I am currently on my first sessions on my second circle of Hanging with FIRe. But I cannot seem to get my member into a decent stretch anymore.
My circumference is 110 mm, so my weight at MPa 1.7 is 3.0Kg and at MPa 1.0 my weight is 1.7 KG - using coefficient c.

As seen in the last three attempts from below, I cannot get a post-BPFSL like at the end of my first circle (see picture attached). My present post-BPFSL is off the mark about 4mm - given accurate measurements. I did not lose pre-BPFSL during my decon. Decon lasted 2.5 months.

Do You guys have any guesses why I am lacking proper post-BPFSL temp gains? Did I start to harshly after decon? As seen in the picture I have decided to drop the weight a bit. But given the calculator this should not impact post-BPFSL-gains too much, shouldn’t they?

Best regards,
Injept

So you don’t see any difference between pre and post bpfsl? Or you are struggling to get a measurement?

Thanks for Your answer! Sorry for not being clear enough on my issue.

To the second question: I do not think that my measurements are off. I do measure like always.
To the first question: AFAIK we start at a next cycle where we have left off the previous cycle. I have left off the first cycle with a post-BPFSL of 16.50 cm. Now I struggle to reach this post-BPFSL at the start of the second cycle. I am not picking up the rope where I had left it at the end of the first cycle. I do not think this is an issue of applying the right weight in the right increments. Maybe some physiological explanation? Did I perform a cold start that might strengthen the tissue instead of elongating it?

Thanks for your time!

It’s hard to know. Tissue will naturally resist being stretched if you go to heavy or fast. Am I correct from looking at your sheet that you have a max weight of 3.5kg and are going up in increments of 0.5kg? I would start at a lower max weight and lower the increments to so the weight rises slower

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, my max weight is 3.5Kg. Then I realised that I am over my 1.7 MPa already within my two first cycles. Way to soon according to other protocols. So I terminated my first cycle and started a ~ 3 month decon. Now that I am starting at lower weights, I don’t seem to reach an effective post-BPFSL. I even stopped taking pre-BPFSL measurements to not overstretch tissues before a session. All to no avail up to today. I cannot find others struggling with this plateau. I might need a longer decon :(

Have you done any previous PE exercises prior to using FIR?

I had similar issues, and I explain it as I had already got my newbie gains.

I jelqed but with no positive outcome length or girth wise. I have gained like 1.5cm BPFSL during my first cycle. But FIR is known to not only provide gains to newbies. The FIR-protocol applies latest scientific insights. And I believe in it. I definitely doing something wrong but cannot put my finger on it. I mean, people with >22cm BPFSL are gaining with the weights I am hanging with.

I also have problems with getting any post strain after newbie gains. I have tried us heat, fir heating pad, upping the weight, 3 month decon and still no post strain and no pre BPFSL increase. I hope that we both can figure out what we are doing wrong.

You might try waiting like a few minutes after hanging before You measure. Sometime my member feels a bit overwhelmed by the stress and needs to relax a bit. I am currently slowly deloading after the last weight (cold) to prevent my member from turtling directly afterwards. It might help us getting a proper measurement.

Well, I’m new to hanging (40 hours, still on week 3) and I am not using FIRe method, though I did use heat a few times, but don’t think I made it for my things to get to the 40+ degrees celcius inside (the skin was above that but the inner parts I wouldn’t really know).

I was using extender previously for quite a long time, and have had my newbie gains with the extender, as well as another chunk of gains on same method. But when I switched to hanger, in the first week BPEL jumped 6 millimeters and so far it’s between 7 and 9 millimeters longer than when I started. So I’m safe to say I got new newbie gains from the method switch. This is probably because with the extender I was pulling a lot in SO direction, hence stretching more tunica than ligs, on a lower tension but not that much lower and for really really long periods of time per day.

So my question to you is: have you tried doing a high weight for 5 to 10 minutes right after the first 5 to 10 minutes of the hanging session, when the dick is already warmed up, so that it creates fatigue at the beginning of the session and you work towards lower strain? I found out that works better for me on the lenght department, while having a high weight at the end of hanging session makes my dick look fatter but shorter, at least till it relaxes. Mainly because the higher stress causes more inflammation of tissues while the lower stress helps liberate chemicals that reduce inflammation.

Thanks for Your reply and time to share Your experiences with us!

Based on my understanding of the hanging with FIRe method and its fundamental theory Your approach is -theoretically!- wrong. Given the high load at the beginning, even after warming up the tissues in the first segment of the session, it would create a high strain that will strengthen the tissues and brace them for even higher impacts. Tissue would stiffen not elongate based on that approach. But that is my limited understanding of the theory speaking here.

It is - practically - worth a try nonetheless. In the end its the application that proves theories right or wrong. The linchpin is to me at this point: I do not know if I might have toughened up my tissues already. Not being able to control for this condition sucks, honestly. I think I have to go into decon once again. I fee like a pummeled dog, haha.

Maybe take a few months off. Let things relax and start again at lighter weights and work your way up. Less is more with this stuff.

Frustrating but the right thing to do.

Thanks
