I’d say go ahead and hang. I did jelqing and stretching for a few months and got tired of it. So I made my own hanger in October and it is much easier than manual stretching and the results have been awesome. Length is my #1 goal too because I luckily have a good amount of girth naturally. I’ve already gained 1/2 an inch in length and I’ve even gotten a little thicker too.
People will warn you that hanging is some super advanced procedure that requires years of PE before you even attempt it. Come on, you’re hanging weights from your d*ck and that’s all. If it’s too painful then know that something’s wrong and you should remove the weight immediately. My advice after diving into hanging is:
1. Don’t go too heavy. I ramped up the weights from 5 lbs to 20 lbs pretty fast and all it caused was more pain and the gains slowed down. Now I’ve lowered the weight and I’m seeing gains again already. It isn’t like weight lifting. I think your penis fights the weight rather than adjusting to it if you go too heavy. So the weight should be uncomfortable but not unbearable.
2. Pick 2 hanging angles and stick to them. I hang straight down while standing with 7.5-10 pounds for 20 minutes, take a break, and then I sit and hang straight out with 10-15 pounds for 20 minutes. On some days I’ll just do straight down or straight out only but I do a minimum of 5 sets of 20 minutes per day. You don’t have to do all of the sets at one time either. I go to college and have a job as well as a social life. So I do a 20 minute set or two whenever possible so it’s important that you’re able to do other tasks while hanging.
3. Hang from the base. There’s less pull on the skin and it seems to pull more of the inside. It’s also less painful.
