Anyways, I did JP90 earlier, but after skimming through Hanging 101, it seems apparently I shouldn’t jelq heavily whilst hanging, and I should hang everyday apparently. I thought that was strange, as whilst lurking earlier I felt like weird popping in my ligaments, twas painful(good kind of demon pain) but went away after moment. I also saw somewhere it said, you should do BTC, then saw BTC is something you work your way into.. I’m so confused.
Need an expert’s opinion. I was going to hang two days on with one day off.. But now, happily, it seems I’ll be hanging everyday, though its sad, as I’ve grown attatched to those 300 jelqs I used to do.. Can I not go 2 days on, with one day off? Please tell me what you think (experts).
3x20min hanging 14lb sand-packed leg-weights SD daily.
Also, what is this turtling you all speak of? It causes the penis to grow back shorter? :O
How do I prevent that?! All-feminine for experienced hangers to suggest upon me please! I suppose I should stop jelqing? :( (
Jelqing requires a little more recovery time than hanging. Hanging/stretching can be done every day.
Very often guys can’t get hard/maintain a consistent enough erection to jelq after a good hanging session anyway. You want the minimum amount of blood in your glans when hanging, so it’s not a good idea to jelq before hanging.
Personally, I am a believer that every PE routine should have jelqing in it, and I see no harm in doing 2 days hanging then a days jelqing.
I also have no problem with guys going straight to BTC hanging.
I think 14lb is too much to start with; you need to relax into the stretch, and starting too heavy means you will probably fight the stretch. You also need to easily have somewhere to go with your hanging - your penis will get used to the weight after a while and become stronger. Ideally you need to move the weight up in increments as that happens.
It’s a trial and error job finding the best starting weight. Think of it this way: if you hang a 4lb weight from a 6lb fishing line, it will hang there without stressing the line much. If you hang a 6lb weight from the same 6lb line, you will mildly stress the line. What you are aiming for is to hang a 7lb weight from 6lb line - it provides stress enough to cause adaptation.
Time is a crucial factor in hanging/achieving tissue creep.
OK, so how do you work out the best starting weight?
1) If your plan is to hang for 1 hour (3x20), then measure your flaccid stretched length with say a 5lb weight hanging, after the first 1 minute of hanging (gives the tissues time to relax a bit).
2) At the end of the first 20 minutes, measure again and see if there is an increase. Measure again at the end of each of the 20 minute sets. If you are getting even a tiny increase at the end of the first 2 sets, the weight is enough. You may or may not get an increase on the 3rd set (you may have maxed out - the penis can’t keep stretching for ever or we would only need to do one super long hanging set in our lives! :) )
3) If there is no increase at the end of the second set, increase the weight by a pound next time you hang. It may take a few sessions to get the correct weight, but patience is a virtue that provides the best long term results.
4) Once you have found the correct weight, repeat the measuring every 3 or 4 weeks to see if you need to increase the weight. Or you can increase time and keep the weight the same if you are getting continued stretch at the end of the 3rd set.
Be really careful to measure the same way every time.
Turtling is when your penis hangs shorter than it usually does as a protective response to stress. There are many methods people use to ameliorate it and searching the site for ADS (All Day Stretchers), wrapping, hanging golf weights etc. will give you some ideas. See my signature line for how to best use the search. However, I think doing piss-pulls (gently stretching your penis for 20 seconds or so every time you urinate) is enough to stop any negative effects.
I hope that helps. And on a more personal note, forgive me for saying that I really don’t like the name/idea Evalangel, nor do I think your daughter would thank you for such a name. :)
I wish you success with your hanging!
