After 6 months of hanging

I have been hanging for six months. The last two months have produced no gains. I am not disappointed though, I have gained nearly ¾ of an inch in six months (7 ½ to 8 ¼ BPEL). My goal is 9” BPEL, so I have ¾ of an inch to go.

The first few months, I was doing 8-9 sets a day, and the last several months, I have only been doing between 4-5-6 sets a day. I thought maybe with increasing weight, I could do less sets, but I guess this is not a good strategy. I plan on doing 8 sets a day now. Also, during some of the sets, I would stop between 17-20 minutes. I am now going to do a full 20 minutes, even if I have to take weight off.

Any suggestions or advice from experienced hangers?

Thanks!

What weight are you currently using?

21 lbs

That’s crazy I’m at 3lbs!!!

What weight were you using when you made gains?

Did you hit a plateau with that weight, and that is why you switched to heavier weight?

I’m not sure, I didn’t measure until the end of month 3, and I was up to 15lbs. I think I gained close to 1/2 inch the first three months. I started at 5lbs and tried to go up by 1-1.5 lbs each week. I think I plateaued at around 19 lbs. Bib said you should add 1 lb per week. But, I stopped doing so many sets, 4-5 a day instead of of the 7-9 sets I was doing each day. I think this may be the problem. Using 21lbs definitely pulls like hell, so I am going to stick with it and increase to at least 8 sets a day and will measure again in a month.

On what angle do you hang ?

Yours are too light

I gained half inch in six months or so.

Never started to feel much pull at the ligs until 12 lbs.

I am currently at 15 lbs and only doing about 3 sets per day, I have never really done more than that

I’m doing BTC

There is really no such thing

Don’t rush weight you Will end up with no dick and then you will really be too lite

it seems you might have answered you own question.

Do you reach fatigue in the first 1-2 sets? i wonder if there were any other changes aside from the number of sets?

0.75” in 4 months is nothing short of extraordinary, congratulations.

Maybe the best thing would be deconditioning break since you’re already at 21 lbs. Just a thought, someone else with more experience could give better answer (like blink2000 :) ).

I reach fatigue every set.

I realized increasing the thickness of my wrap has greatly increased my hanging amount. Right now I am hanging a two 3lb weights and a metal doorknob all in a bucket. Now I understand why you can do so much. I was relying too much on the tug i felt on my skin. Now that I have adjusted the stretch feels awesome.

Thanks for your insight!
