I wanted to add some clarification here, just in case there's any confusion.
What I mean is that if hanging actually exercises these muscles - in the same way Kegels do, or the same way curls exercise the biceps - then the increased strength of these muscles would probably lead to the greater benefits that strong pelvic floor muscles provides. This may indeed happen, and no one recognized it (or just accredited it to Kegels).
I can't say from experience myself, as I haven't done a lot of hanging yet, nor have I noticed a thicker base. What about you, Iguana - Have you noticed a thicker base? If so, did you notice any side effects?
