Hanging 101

[melker123]

Light purple is ok, but cold is not. Is there feeling in your glans when it gets darker? How long are your sets?

My sets are 20 min and there is still feeling in the glans when it's cold.

I'd try 15 minute sets for now. What hanger do you use? Oh ok the CW. From what I understand that hanger grips in a more circular fashion and the penis is not really a perfect cylinder. I'm willing to bet, the heavier you get in weight, the more circulation and comfort problems you may have.

I've been doing these for a week, I'm unable to hang because of being uncut. But instead of a kettlebell I use the handle of my backpack, and fill it with heavy items and such like in the pic.

I think it's quite good but I'm not sure, I feel more fatigue in my gripping hand than the penis, but hope it's working there too. Currently doing 30 minutes, twice a day with around 13lbs. Is this enough time? I ask because I'm in uni so normally busy, and it's pretty painful and mentally taxing so hopefully it's enough lol.

It worked better after I moved the grippers. They are now touching more the side of my penis. It doesn't get as dark anymore and not as cold, even though I do 20 min sets.
Thanks for your inputs!

I'm also uncut but I still hang, I have just started but it seems to work fine, except the problem mentioned above, but it's all good now.

How carefull do you have to be with rest days to not get the short and strong penis instead of a long one? Are the rest days really a factor in this sense?

Hello Rickrory.

Bib advocates never taking rest days. Personally, I think one rest day per week may be something you need to avoid injury. Generally, with hanging we need to avoid taking one step forward and two steps back. I recommend you keep a log of your progress to record both your successes and failures. You can experiment with your rest days and see what gives you the best length gains over time (e.g. if you're plateauing and gaining nothing, you could either be over-working, or not properly reaching fatigue). You'll have to use your best judgement and make that assessment on your own. Your progress journal along with recorded measurements (e.g. monthly) can be invaluable tools for helping you make accurate self-assessments. I recommend you record not just your BPEL, but your BPFSL (if you're not sure what that means, check my terms definitions here: https://www.pegym.com/forums/progres...s-journal.html yes that's also the first page of my progress journal).

A lot of uncut guys hang just fine. You may be forced to start your wrap farther back to keep the bulk of the load on the sides of your erectile chambers. You may need to throw out some of the advice about where to start your wrap, and just find what works for you (e.g. whether you start the wrap 2" back or even farther is up to you; experiment and find what works).

I think just a normal manual routine may be safer than what you're doing with the backpack; I recommend you get a real hanging device and really follow the advice in hanging 101, or maybe you should stick with a manual routine. You're welcome to reinvent the wheel, but I advise you to (instead) use tried & true methods which have already proven to give gains for many others (vs. experimenting with something completely new). You're welcome to take an experimental approach on yourself (no one here can stop you), but you'll be on your own that way, and probably at much higher risk of injury, and your odds of having success will be much lower as well.

I have just started hanging and are experiencing a cold and blue glans after a set. I've tried to release the pressure of the cableclamp(I'm using The Captain's Wench) but it doesn't work that well and if I do it to much the hanger will fall off. What can I do? Is it really a problem if the glans turns blue and cold?

Are you doing a good warmup before your sets?

Also make sure you're giving yourself full 10 minute breaks between sets.

At least for me, I couldn't avoid cold glans early on with my hanging, but my circulation improved as my body adapted. If you're very new to hanging, this may be part of the issue. Also, make sure you're squeezing the blood out of your glans before you tighten the hanger.

I don't have much experience using a cable clamp (for hanging); this may be part of the issue. Using a professionally made hanger might solve the problem (or perhaps someone with a lot of captns' wench experience can advise).

If you've been hanging a few months and this continues to happen, then I would say its possible there's a problem with your hanger-attaching technique, or with the way you wrap. (if you wrap really tight, this could further aggravate things). Getting your hanger settings perfect is always an ongoing battle, and you'll find as the weight increases, you'll always need to further refine your hanger attachment technique (or pay the price with an injury, or be forced to reduce the weight).

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I've read the whole guidelines for hanging, and I want to know if I can split the sets along the day...like 1 at morning, 1 at afternnon and one at night.
Is it okay to do that without prejudice my gains?
