Hanging (SO):
2.5 lbs x 12 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing
2.5 lbs x 12 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing
2.5 lbs x 12 minutes (30 second pull back, 20 second pull back)
--10 minutes relaxing
note: Holding a pull back is HARD. As I haven't been training kegels specifically, I'm probably already approaching the realm of over training them.
note: I need to figure out what the right amount to be resting between sets is.

A couple hours later:
(01/07/08)

Hanging (SD - standing):
3.75 lbs x 8 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
3.75 lbs x 8 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
note: I upped the weight because I looked at my training from last year and I moved up quicker than I am now. I will hover at 3.75 lbs for a while though because of the head vacuum. I felt like it was tiring out the base of my penis too. I will stay and inch up the time a lot before touching more weight.

(01/09/08)

note: In general I'm getting unusually good PIs from hanging. Also, I think the day off did me good.

Hanging (OTLL):
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
Hanging (OTRL):
2.5 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
Hanging (SD - standing):
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat

later:
Intense Clamping:
8 min
--10 min relaxing w/ heat
8 min
--10 min relaxing w/ heat
8 min
--cool water ADS for 1 hour
note: more fluid buildup than I think I've ever noticed. Although going from clamping to the water felt good.

later:
Hanging (SD - standing):
3.75 lbs x 8 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat (plus probably an extra 15 minutes of wandering)
2.5 lbs x 15 minutes
note: On the first set I had too much pushed into the hanger so I got sort of a vacuum ring just below my head, it was less comfortable that way too. Also a thought: on days where I have 2 hanging sessions, the second one needs to be a little lighter.

Hanging (SO):
2.5 lbs x 15 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
2.5 lbs x 15 minutes (200 quick pull backs then 50 done in stages)
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
2.5 lbs x 15 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing
note: by done in stages I mean trying to go from 0% contracted, to 50, to 100, to 50 back to 100.

Yeah, it looks like it has. I'm glad to see that.

Hanging (SD - sitting):
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
note: noticed that when my abs are contracted the stretch suddenly seems more intense.

Beaver, I'm glad to see it to. I'm curious, how has your gains been since you started hanging? The reason I ask is that Iguana and I have a theory that could help men focus their routines much more instead of just "guessing" what might be the best route to take.

The theory is that gains are largely divided into two parts: Smooth muscle gains and tunica gains. We also feel that under many circumstances, only one of these is holding you back from gaining, and thus should be what you'll want to target your PE on. I'm not sure if it holds any ground at this point, but two questions in particular might unlock the clues:

• What's your BPFSL (at it's absolute maximum stretchiest point) and what's your BPEL?
• What would you give the strength of your erections (without supplements) on a scale of 1 to 10?

[beavertaffy]

My BPEL is 6.875 right now. I forgot to check my flaccid reach. Lately I've been getting better erections, since I started hanging. I would call them 8 or 9.

Hanging (SO):
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat (150 quick pull backs, 50 staged pull backs, 50 quick pull backs)
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing w/ heat
note: going to keep up with the pull back kegels because they make a lot more sense biomechanically than kegels without resistance. The other day I was with my girlfriend and it shot way farther and harder than normal, and I think it has a lot to do with these.

Hanging (SD - standing):
2.5 lbs x 17 minutes

2.5 lbs x 17 minutes

Hanging (SD - standing):
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes
--10 minutes relaxing
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes (tried to do some kegels on this set)
note: doing kegels while hanging SD doesn't actually add any resistance to the kegel, but it does increase circulation during the set.

Hanging (SO, lowish angle):
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes (200 quick pull backs)
--10 minutes relaxing
3.75 lbs x 10 minutes (100 3 count pull backs)
--10 minutes relaxing
100 light jelqs
note: I'm starting to strongly believe that the best angle for me to do pull back kegels is a somewhat lower one so it doesn't overstretch my PCs while I'm trying to strengthen them.
