1/2 inch, 6 Weeks!

I think the link was posted for the “hardcore” hanging - some dud on the MoS site does hardcore hanging of 40+ pounds. That’s the kind of extreme weight I’m referring to. I can do 15 pounds, but 25 - 45? Don’t see it happening!

Whew! You had me worried.

I just have to report back and brag! Got my Bib HC Starter and have been using it for a week now. Bigger told me no rest days for my unit so I eliminated days off. Previously I was taking 2-3 days off per week. Well, I’m happy to report back that my unit just measured in at 6.5 inches! BPEL, but guys, that’s 3/4 an inch in 12 weeks roughly!

That’s the ticket. If you need to take a day or two off be sure you have an ADS so you won’t harden. If your hanging daily you don’t need to use an ADS but when you have interruptions you need one. Life happens so be prepared.

Thanks for the advice Monty! I had always wondered if I needed an ADS if I was hanging 7 days a week. I see where guys say “no turtling - ever!” so I wear golf weights after I hang. Is this pointless?

Why would it be pointless? You are maintaining fatigue and keeping a stretch even though you are not hanging? :)

My biggest mistake in the past was to not use a good ADS in my hanging routine. Luckily, I have golf weights on their way pretty soon;)

No the ADS won’t be pointless because if the next day you can’t do your normal routine then you have your ADS to maintain the stretch you accomplished the day before.

Frankly if I’m hanging daily and don’t for see any interruptions I might give myself a rest from my ADS BUT, there is an advantage to using an ADS regardless and that is when you are working hard at your hanging and your unit goes through any rebellion at all you’ll definitely benefit by keeping a small amount of tension on the ligs so they can’t retract. It does two things, it keeps the tension on and prevents retraction and 2. it trains your unit to stay in the fully relaxed or stretched state.

I didn’t realize how much my flaccid had improved until I went through an involuntary deconditioning period that lasted a couple of months. It was in that decon period that my flaccid length retracted significantly. So much so that I all of a sudden found that I looked almost uncut. My flaccid has returned to a great extent but I was really surprised at how much flaccid length I had lost.

So an ADS helps in more then just one way.

So what is the best ADS to use then. I hear of golf weights, sleeves, some sort of bead rings, and all sorts of stuff. What should I use and what is the most discrete and effective?

Also, does the ADS need to really keep my ligs stretched to the point where I can feel the stretch, or just keep my penis slightly stretched out to prevent turtling, without the need for that stretch feeling?

Lastly, when hanging, I started by using 5lbs a couple days ago, but it felt like I was getting no stretch from that, so I switched to 7.5 lbs. Even that doesn’t feel as strong of a stretch as when I use my hand to pull on my dick though. I was under the impression that hanging was for guys who were not getting the same result out of manual stretching any more, so that hanging should be more of an intense stretch feeling. So if 7.5 feels the stretch but not as much as manual stretching, should I increase the weight or is that still overdoing it? (I’m going for that hang heavy 20 mins per day routine and max out the weight I can for those 20 mins).

I’m wondering if an ADS is necessary regardless of how much I hang, and If I can do this routine without the use of an ADS, because hanging hurts and seems to thin my penis out a little, and then I usually jelq and clamp to puff the girth back up before I cement at the smaller girth, so I would think if I used and ADS, the girth would definitely get cemented that the thinner girth,.definitely not desirable.

Should the hanging hurt, cause it does, I put on the wench, and it feels like I’m pinching the sides of my inner penis too hard, and then I have to put the clamp on to get an even tighter grip, which hurts even more, but even then, it doesn’t seem to grip the penis strongly enough to keep the wench completely away from the head. Does anyone know what I mean or am I alone on this one?

Actually, your choice. Just do some homework and choose one.

Slightly stretched isn’t really going to do any good. You really want to feel that there is stress on the ligs enough to feel like something is being accomplished. It isn’t enough to just put your penis into a traction condition there needs to be some noticable stress. A couple of pounds at least.

If you not feeling like there is enough tension to accomplish anything then yes you probably need to increment up some. You’ve gone from 5 to 7.5lbs, perhaps your should move up to 10. Try it and see how it feels if you feel that it is enabling you to reach fatigue then that is where you should start. Just make sure you keep accurate records so you don’t just runaway with weight increases into the ridiculous. Weight changes shouldn’t have a need for change more then once in a month. Your gains should be your indicator not the feel. At first feel (fatigue) is important but after that gains should be your indicator.

Don’t worry about cementing any girth at a thin condition. It’s not going to happen. Nobody has thinned out their penis from hanging or using an ADS. The girth will come back naturally. What your going to find is as time goes on girth is going to increase naturally. So don’t worry about doing any girth exercises. They aren’t necessary.

Hurt? No shouldn’t hurt. Are you using a wrap to protect skin? If not, you need one.
Where and what kind of hurt are we talking about here?

I would add that you should not worry about girth.

Most guys experience more base girth from hanging.

Personally, my penis feels very girthy after I resumed hanging.

Me too!

I use a chamois wrap , and I think I’m getting the hang of how to apply the hanger effectively, but after 15-20 min it still hurts, but more so around the head. It seems like the tightness of the clamp and the cut off of blood movement in my head (although I always try to squeeze as much blood out of the glans as possible) is making my mid shaft (where the wench clamps down on) and the skin and head above the wench, go numb and hurt a little. It is not due to too much weight because I only apply enough to feel a good stretch not enough to feel like the ligs are ripping out of my body. It must be due to the tightness of the clamp. Much like if you were to take a rubber band and tie it around your finger really tight and leave it there for and hour. Afterwards it is all discolored, sore and numb all at the same time. Is this a warning sign I should take to avoid getting hurt, or is this just normally the point everyone reaches to know when it is time to stop. I hope the answer is not to loosen the grip of the hanger or to add less weight, because if I do, the hanger will slide, or I just won’t feel enough tension.

Also, good to hear about the girth. That really puts my mind at rest. So why then does it seem like the girth went down. The erections seem a little more solid lately (not more erect, just solid, as in less excess skin and puff). Do you think that is on account of the previous girth not being fully true girth, but perhaps just after jelqing puff. If so, that after jelq puff seems to have hung around for a long time until I started hanging, not that the girth went down by a whole lot or anything.

.On a side note, does anyone have any good reviews or opinions on their favorite ads, or what they think the stealthiest one is? Preferably something easy to apply, that won’t leave my dick squeezed to death all day just to get a good grip on it. It always alludes me how anyone can effectively apply an ads, and have no one notice a strange looking long semi looking bulge on one side of their pants, with the outline of a string moving from it and disappearing into the lower regions of the pants. The ones I have looked into so far all look like they would be spotted from a mile away.

When you apply a hanger for any length of time your going to get some distortion of you penis no matter what. After I am done hanging and remove the wrap, my unit always looks beat up. That’s normal.

As far as the hurting more as hanging time goes on, that’s not normal. Once the hanger gets a grip and weight is applied there should be a kind of equilibrium that is reached where the feeling becomes stable. This will be a variable condition. I will have hanging periods where i’m very comfortable and then the next time I’m not so comfortable. We’re talking here about applying very inordinate stresses on our penis. We have to be very aware if we’re doing damage to ourselves or accomplishing controlled changes. If your experiencing pain as time goes on I would say that you’ve probably wrapped and clamped improperly. Best thing is to remove and start over. This may seem frustrating but in time you’ll find the technique that works best.

In reference to an ADS, what you talking about is true. There is no perfectly stealth ADS. This is the reason for loose fitting pants. I’ve worn my rings for years in a corporate atmosphere and no one has ever indicated that they have noticed anything. That doesn’t mean that the rings don’t show inside my pants when I sit down because that’s when even loose pants will become tight enough for them to become visible. What you do then is just keep your legs closed or not face anyone with your legs open showing them your crotch. It’s just common sense.

Ok, so then if I’m not applying the hanger or wrap the right way, I would have to loosen it. I have a feeling the pain comes from a combo of super tightness and the hanger sliding down and balancing on the rim of the glans rather than the inner penis above the glans. But unfortunately no matter how hard I clamp the hanger down on my unit, it still doesn’t stop it from sliding down to the glans. I read people talking about it resting on the shoulders, but every time I apply, my glans seem to be the only shoulders. I was thinking about applying it with the tiniest bit of blood engorged at the head and body above the hanger, but eventually I speculate it will drain out and the hanger will slide even worse, and if not, I know I’m not supposed to hang with the head engorged. Are the shoulders the actual mid to upper inside shaft, is there a common reason why it won’t grip that inner shaft enough to not be resting on the head when hanging?

Also, the ads thing you mentioned seems like a good solution if any (the bigger pants) but what about underwear, doesn’t that support defeat the purpose of hanging? Or if no underwear, what about when you sit? Personally when I sit my dick already rests on the seat between my other two legs, how do you get it to stretch out then? When I thin about it I imagine a goal for a constant all day stretch force, but one bending of the leg, or sitting down will alter the magnitude of that force or completely take it away.

Again: you should not have any slippage when everything is proper. I don’t know why you think the only thing you can do is loosen things. You misunderstand. You want to get things wrapped and clamped tight enough to not have any slippage. Are you using 2 clamps?

ADS
The common misconception is that you need to hang with an ADS every minute all day long to be effective. That isn’t true. What is effective is to keep the disruption of the healing of the tissues with applied stress often enough to prevent regression of gains. IOW: when you get up from your desk or whatever, you’ll feel a tug from a gravity ADS. That in and of itself is the benefit. Stress every minute is not necessary. Disruption throughout the day is. When your sitting the Traction effect will keep any regression from happening.

Most people believe that an ADS is producing gains. It isn’t. All the ADS does is prevent regression or retraction. An ADS cannot produce gains because the stresses are to light. An ADS is augmentation tool that’s all.

Underwear: Obviously your not going to put the ADS and your dick in briefs and expect it to work. You could hang them out the relief in the front but the better solution is to wear boxers or go commando. What work great is to wear boxers and hang out the front. this way you get another layer of clothing between the ADS and your skin which keeps the skin from being irritated from the rubbing of the ADS while walking.
