You are welcome. You take, you give, thats my motto!

In the end, when you reach your final goal, one of the things that matter most is that your penis is still functional. Some people seem to forget about that and get their heads too much into little details.
If you fail to find 0.5 lbs weights, here is an idea:
Get those small 1 liter mineral-water bottles, those that are extra small, look kind of squished.
Since 1 liter equals to about 1kg, you can work with this. Fill it up to half, so 0.5l = 0.5kg = 1.1lbs.
Fill another bottle up to 1/4 liters, or 1/4 kg, which is 1/4 * 2.2 = 0.55lbs ~ 0.5 lbs!
Attaching the bottles to your hanger isnt a problem either: Just tie a rope around the necks of the bottles and the other end of the rope you attach to your hanger.
Done. I got like 3x 1 liter bottles lying around xD
But meanwhile, I have switched over to dumb-bell weights. Take much less space, dont touch the ground when sitting in my chair!
Perhaps you have a dumbbell lying around as well! I am working with 4x 1.25kg, and 4x 0.5kg weights. For example, I went from 8.25 lbs (= 3x 1.25kg) to 8.8 lbs (= 2x 1.25kg + 3x 0.5kg).

I am getting to 9” one way or another and you to 8” :)
Yeah, there are very logical but contradicting arguments. In the end, the entire process should be dynamic and be controlled by observing your own body’s response to it. If people say X is the way to go, you do X, it doesn’t work and try out Y and observe it working on your body, than the means Y is the way to go for you!
I feel like its nice to read and inform yourself, especially about safety precautions. But in the end, you have to find what works for you. Dont dwell too much on that. I have been doing this for about 9 months and believe me, I have been pretty much reading & researching every day or minimum every other day since then for about at least 1 hour up to 2 hours. At this point, I have even read through the entire hanging forum (skimmed over non interesting threads, read all interesting one). Its easy to drown in the sea of information!
Good luck on reaching your goals!

As a matter of fact, I just did that a few hours after posting. Seems like I have entered 8”+ territory :D :D
My hanging plan-of-attack:
1. SD hanging, weight progression to about max 15-18 lbs or so.
2. switch to SO hanging, weight progression to about same max values
3. fulcrum, SO-SD, same weight progression
4. fulcrum with heat/rice sock, SO-SD.
I think I wont really need to go that far. I have only got like a few tenths of inches to gain. Like max +0.2 or so.
