Progressive Weight Hanging. Gain More In Less Time

[sdaddy]

Thanks.

I have been hanging for a long time. I first learned about hanging in November 2001, via Tom Hubbard's site. Shortly after, I built my own hanger using instructions from the old PEforums site, and could barely hang 2.5 pounds-- the stretching of my skin was almost unbearable.

I hung weights from November 2001 to March 2006. Since I didn't keep a log, I think I hung an average of three times per week, and one set per session. It was rare that I performed two sets during a session. My hanging weight went from 2.5 pounds to 15 pounds, and gained a little over an inch (5.8 inches to 7.0 inches) in length.

I resumed hanging in July 2011. From then until now, my hanging weight has gone from 10 pounds to 52.5 pounds and I have gained 0.25 inches in length.

As far as the contraption is concerned, I have not considered using such a device until you asked, because I had no idea something like that existed. I think I will look into using it, because such a device could concentrate the weight more along the vertical axis of the shaft.

Here are a couple of pics hanging 50 pounds. It actually quite comfortable if the wrap is applied correctly.

Awesome pics buddy. Please can you confirm if that is a bib starter or bib original?

I currently have the starter and I am hanging 22 pounds comfortably with it. However I am not sure if I can hang 50 pounds with it. Please can you confirm whether you are hanging 50 pounds with the bib starter.

Also how and what do u use to wrap?

Thanks a lot.

Geez 52 lbs? My dick would tear in half... Btw I tried using ss material In combination with ace wrap. But I just made me come close to injury. It wasn't slipping but it gave me this horrible sensation of pinching the internals of my penis. I tried it for an entire set and it was just unbearable. So I switched to using JUST ace wrap. It digs into the skin but it gives me better grip from the weights. Still hurts sometimes tho def not as comfortable as I'd like my hanging to be...

I'm having a hard time believing someone would work up to 52lbs and only gain 1/4".

[OMG!]

I have been hanging for a while. I started with a sock hanger that I made, which was horrible. With a sock on you can't monitor the color and temp of your glans. The first and last time I used it I took it off after fifteen minutes and my glans was a scary color and very cold. I recovered well and built a Hubbard hanger, which was good but not nearly as good as the Captain's Wench that I made and currently use. I was hanging ten hours a week, fifteen pounds, seven days a week. Big Al became my coach and put me on a less time-consuming routine, concentrating on getting to max weight and resting a day. I got to 25 pounds, three 20-minute sets a day, two days a week. I gained 1/2" in about four months. Not bad.

Wrappiing was my biggest learning curve. I currently hang with a single ace bandage, wrapped tight, spiraled all the way from behind the glans to the base. It is the most comfortable wrap I have tried.

I am taking a break right now and will go back at it next week. Anyway, thought I would share my experience so far. I love hanging and believe in it 100%.

you have to go really tight with the wrapping of the SS, and external wrap. (i use a SS, thera band combo). i pull both very tight and tape them with scoth tape. once i squeeze all the blood out of the head, it helps it from getting back in. it also reduces the pain you speak of, but in my experience, ive gotten that pain from hanging from the moment i started, though when you wrap it tight, it goes away after about 30 seconds

Unfortunately, I think I am at the stage where I need to re-learn how to wrap. My gains have stopped. I will try the 2"x9" wrap using a shirt. However, what would work better, the gray Theraband? Or the adhesive stretchy ACE bandage wrap?

Also, how do you calculate how many threads should be showing on the bottom of the Bib hanger? Is it in relation to my girth? Or just when it's "tight"?

Thanks in advance

I am using the regular Bib hanger. I think I would sustain an injury were I using the Bib starter with that type of weight. These days, the I use the screws and nuts from my Bib starter to replace worn counterparts on my regular Bib hanger.

I use the Theraband for my wrap.

I use a 1.5" x 14" piece to wrap from 1.5 - 2" from the bottom of my glans to the base.

My last measurement came before I reached the 52 pound mark. I only measure twice per 12 month period.

I could never get theraband to work for me. It always bunched up and caused pinching.

Wrap goes by girth. With the starter model, from what I have seen helping guys 10-12 threads showing between the hanger hing and the adjustment nuts seems about right. Regardless of amount of wrap. With the hardcore model 6-8 threads seems more optimal. From what I've seen so far:

You determine how much wrap is needed with the following sizing guide.

To measure yourself for wrapping, you will first need to know your erect mid-shaft penis girth. This is just like it sounds, the girth of your penis measured with a tape measure (soft type not metal) when erect, at mid-shaft. This is not a contest to see who is biggest or to throw numbers around. This is to help you determine the proper amount of wrap needed. Once you know your mid-shaft erect girth write it down. Now, go by the following sizing guide. Wraps are two inches wide.

Wrap Sizing: First, make sure you have a 12 inch ruler and some sharp scissors handy.

If your erect mid-shaft girth is 4 inches, you will use a 10 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 10 inch length of self adhesive wrap.
If your erect mid-shaft girth is 4 and a half inches, use a 9 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 9 inch length of self adhesive wrap.
If your erect mid-shaft girth is 5 inches, use a 8 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 8 inch length of self adhesive wrap.
If your erect mid-shaft girth is 5 and a half inches, use a 7 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 7 inch length of self adhesive wrap.
If you are like myself, and your erect mid-shaft girth is 6 inches, use a 6 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 6 inch length of self adhesive wrap.

If your mid-shaft erect girth is 6 and a half inches, use a 5 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 5 inch length of self adhesive wrap.
If your mid-shaft erect girth is 7 inches, use a 4 inch length of sweatshirt material and a 4 inch length of self adhesive wrap.
If you are bigger or smaller than the sizes listed above, it should be pretty self explanatory on how to move up or down in wrap amounts. Do not worry about a quarter inch increment. If you are for example, 5 and a quarter inches or close to that, go with the advice for the guy with a 5 inch erect mid-shaft girth. As another example, if you are over 5 and a half inches in erect mid-shaft girth but not 6 inches in erect mid-shaft girth, use the advice for the guy with a 6 inch erect mid-shaft girth.
Now that you know what length of each wrap material to use, use your rule and go ahead and cut a measured length of the self adhesive wrap first. Make sure you do NOT stretch the self adhesive wrap as you cut it. You are cutting it un-stretched. As said above in the beginning, the self adhesive wrap will act as a "stencil" for you to cut your sweatshirt material. Lay your sweatshirt out on a flat surface. I suggest using a sleeve of the sweatshirt as your first location for cutting your first piece of wrap. Poke a hole in the side of the sleeve that is facing you with the scissors. Now, lay your piece of self adhesive wrap on the sleeve near that hole. Carefully cut around that piece of self adhesive wrap width-wise first. Then, cut length-wise. Try not to stretch the sweatshirt material as you cut it. The edges of the sweatshirt material do not need to match up perfectly with those of the self adhesive wrap. Just get them close. You may find it helpful to use a piece of tape and tape down one end of the self adhesive wrap to the sweatshirt while cutting it, to help hold it in place more easily.Whenever you cut new pieces of wrap, use the same un-stretched measurements as before.

How To Wrap

Wrapping is actually very simple. Make sure you are flaccid. Grab your penis by the glans and gently give it a tug forward until it stops stretching. While still holding this light stretch, use your ruler to measure back from the "ridge" of your glans toward your body about one inch. Around this one and one half inch mark is where the front edge of your wraps will go. As you get more experienced with wrapping, placement of your wrap will become second nature and you will not have to measure back with the ruler. Take your sweatshirt material and lay one end over your penis at the previously measured spot. It may help you to stretch again while you wrap. Wrap the sweatshirt material snugly around your penis and then hold it in place with one hand. Each wrap around your penis will be one layer on top of the other. Try to line up the edges visually while wrapping. The edges do not have to be perfectly aligned, but it will help with comfort if they are close. Now, grab your self adhesive wrap. Place the self adhesive wrap by one end where you left off with the sweatshirt material. Wrap the self adhesive wrap around your penis as snugly as you did the sweatshirt material. Now, with both hands, squeeze on top of the self adhesive wrap along the entire length. Do this a few times to ensure the wrap properly bonds to itself. You may need to practice wrapping a few times before you get it right. Just be patient, you will get it! Whether or not you are circumcised will not change how you wrap. Un-circumcised men will wrap the same way. Just leave your forskin over your glans and make a mental note of where the ridge of your glans is to measure for wrap placement.
