Hello down low. I am very glad to have fnally peeked in on your log. I am a pumper and I have been dong what most would consider a pretty x-treme routine with stretching and the pumping. I have been looking through threads and finally looked here.
I have a question for you if you dont mind. Everything i read says over and over do not hang and do other routines but I know hoe to watch my PIs and feel safe in at least experimenting with this.
I was hoping youcould tell me how long you hve been pumping and hanging and what your lessons learned have been. I have been hanging the last week and ahalf or so and it is in my log as well. I am planning on doing a bit less pumping as I get into hanging but hell, I paid for the pump and I am going to use it!
Any of your experience in the combining of the two would be greatly apprciated.

P.S. I understand you may not want to jam up your log, feel free to PM me about this if you wish, I am very intersted in what you have to share, peace.
I have enjoyed going through your log, sincerely BigO.........keep up the great quest

No, anyone can ask question here. No problem at all.

Well, I went with Dr. Howard for a month on advice. He said to hang up the pump, but it wasn't a detriment to anything, just use it (as I have) sparingly. So I go 15 minutes or so Mon, Wed, Fri. No adverse affects, but no real gains in girth either. I am actually gunning for girth, but Dr. Howard suggest I reach length first with hanging since I was seasoned vet. Really haven't had any lessons to be learned. I do try to reach almost 10 hours per week, think i have been averaging about 9 or so, and that may fall a bit as I get into my busy season. I am just concentrating on the hang and don't let myself get concerned over girth and the pump right now, just doing the pump, jelqs and edging very lightly IMO.

I have been pumping and hanging since January. I recently bought a smaller cylinder since the last one was too big, and I didn't realize that. I also purchased the BIB hardcore in May. Strongly suggest that for hanging.

Hope that helps a bit, if you need more, just let me know and I can try.

That information is what I was looking for. I was just hoping to hear someone on the same path that I am now pursuing. I am syill pumping a pretty ood amount but have dropped the stretches in place of hanging. I am going to taper down the pumping as I increase the hanging weight.
I amdoing that because I dont want to only get a good skin stretch from hanging so basically every time add a set of hanging I am dropping a set of pumping. I aim to do two sets of pumping three times a week. Thank you for you advice and knowledge sharing. Any time you make a new revalation drop me a pm if you have the time and if i find any thing that is working well I Ill do the same.
As far as the bib hanger goes I will but for now the captains wench will be sufficient. I am only at 3 to 5 lbs as of now. 3 for first and 5 for two then 3 for last one. I figure 4 sets of 20 minutes every day gets me 9 plus hours so I am waking up early and getting to bed late, lol.

I started with the Capt Wench. It worked ok up till I got to heavy weights, about 12-13#. Regardless, once i got this, it was dramatically different. Also, since I have been at PE for some time, I have disregarded the mental aspect for the most part and am just going with the flow so to say. I understand that each workout is a base for the next and a progression from the last. I used to get so uptight wanting that goal, now it is in it for the long haul (not that I stopped at anytime since 2008).

Good luck.
