Hanging isn't working.

So I’ve been hanging for two months, and have collected 75 hours of hanging time. I don’t think I’ve gained anything at all. No matter how high a weight (up to 9 pounds) I use, I never feel “fatigue”. Is my unit just too small and tough to deform? All I’ve received is severe discolouration and an even lower EQ than when I started.

My routine consisted of:
10 minutes rice sock warm up
20mins on - 10mins off for as many times as I could
10 minutes rice sock warm down

I was hanging nearly every day, too. With some sets in the morning and some at night. I targeted the same angle every time (straight down while I was standing up.)

What on Earth should I do? Should I try jelqing for 3+ hours per day? Should I try a different style of hanging, the one the Sadhu tribe uses, in which the penis is held horizontally with weights being suspended from the middle of the shaft?

Thanks in advance.

Everyone is a bit different in their response to various PEing. I expect that the newer hangers are way more knowledgeable than I, with my stone age skills.

For Me:

9-10 pounds and +10 hours a week of actual hanging were the tipping points. Less than that and not much happened. Twenty minutes on and 10 off is what I did as well. That is a minimum of 3 hours/day, five days/week, to get 10 hours of hanging. Add in taking a piss and grabbing a snack and I was up to 3.5 hours/day minimum. And that assumed that my hanging skills were 100% at all times and in all things.

The biggest stumbling block was absolutely mastering wrapping my unit up so that I could hang comfortably. Until I had that down 100% time invested in actually hanging was simply wasted. I spent hours a day wrapping, unwrapping, and re-wrapping my unit. Occasionally I would even briefly hang weights off of it for a few minutes until I identified where my wrap was less than perfect.

Old school and I think anyone hanging should already have 3-4 months invested in hands on PE.

You might get some gains from it. And you will most certainly learn how to “listen” to what you penis is telling you, greatly reducing the chance of breaking it.

How much have you gained? And how long it took you to get there?

I eventually gained 1X1/2”s. Total time in PEing and I think it took me 2 years to get that.

I was dedicated and didn’t dick around with my PE. However, I was a hard gainer and much of my time was spent zeroing in my routine and figuring out what worked for me. Long time ago but I will guestimate and say that a good 80% of my gains came within a 6-9 month period, and all from hanging.

Hey unemployedPEguy. If you are not feeling any fatigue then you are not using enough weight but I have a feeling your penis is becoming fatigued and you just don’t know it. Which explains your downward spiral in EQ. If your EQ is taking a hit from hanging then your penis is getting fatigued unless you just don’t have the hanger on properly.

Sometimes hanging with a bad hanger are just not hanging properly can put a lot of unneccasary pressure on the internals of your penis by squashing them and compressing them in a bad way without actually putting the stress on the areas you want to put the stress on.

You want to make sure your hanger is compressioning and gripping your shaft safely and comfortablely because if not, that can screw up your EQ bigtime. It sounds like your hanger is gripping your shaft unevenly and wrong and pulling your skin, causing discoloration and other negitive PIs.

What kind of hanging device are you using and also what is your LOT?

I don’t know if the LOT theory is true or not but if you have a low LOT then standing up while hanging the weight straight down may not work for you since your ligs are already maxed out. You may need to invest in tunica hanging which will be hanging in the upwards angles.

For me, I was born with a low LOT of 6 oclock so that means my ligs were already lengthy and maxed out right from the get go which may explain my starting size of 8 inches. So with no supposet potential for lig gains, when I started hanging I went right to tunica type hanging and have gained quite nicely.

So my point is check your LOT to see what angle you have the most potential to gain with. If you have a high lot of 9 oclock or higher then stick with the downward type hanging that you are already doing but either add more weight or more sets and make sure you are hanging properly with a quality hanger since your EQ is getting wrecked.

If your LOT is at 7 oclock or 6 oclock then try focusing on Tunica hanging.

I sometimes wonder how much force mitigation occurs as a result of the bib hanger pulling on the foreskin rather than the weight being focused directly through the Tunica/Ligs.

I use a pretty cheap/effective hanging system, I may well take some pictures of it so people can see exactly what I mean.

Saiyan is correct, I’ve never had any discolouration from hanging and this indicates you have a badly fitted hanger. The lower EQ also suggests that you’ve gone passed the point of fatigue, probably some time ago and have been riding an over fatigued state for a while.

I would suggest infrared heat throughout your hanging sessions, also.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I use a Bib starter. I just wrap semi-tightly using T-shirt material, put it in and tighten as much as I can. Theraband by itself and a combination of Theraband and T-shirt caused more discolouration and slipping. However, my penis does indeed get folds/creases in it. Nothing I do can stop it. I have pretty low girth.

Nice to know hanging might work after more weight, but I just tried 10 pounds and had to quit due to pain and now massive burst capillaries after five minutes.

I’m uncut. It’s mainly the loose skin that gets tons of burst capillaries or blood going in spaces between cells it shouldn’t. This didn’t happen at lower weights.

LOT is very low, like 6 or 7, but I’m nowhere near 8 inches. More like 5.5. Is Tunica hanging still the way to go? Sounds good. Plus if it’s upwards I can sit down :p . Where is information on this located?

Hey unemployedPEguy. Yeah from the sounds of it that bib starter you’re using is making lunch meat out of the skin on your penis. You need to experiment with diffirent methods of wrapping because apparently that t-shirt material you’re using is causing to much skin pinching and uneven skin pulling.

Try experimenting with different wrapping like rubber strips, silcone, ace bandage or other things you can think of. I personally thick some silicone padding will be nice and cushiony on your skin so definately give that a try.

And also since you’ve just comfirmed that your LOT is indeed low at 6 oclock, like mine and you haven’t gained anything with your two months of lig hanging, you should switch your hanging angle to upwards angles to target the tunica. Also experiment with fulcrums while hanging.

The best way to target the tunica is to lay flat on your back and use a pulley system. Have your hanging weight hung through the pulley system with the other end of the rope attached to your hanger. This will stretch your penis straight up towards your belly button.

Also expeiment with the straight out angle where you can sit down and have your penis stretched straight out with the weight hanging off of a pulley system as well.

Most of the battle is mastering the wrapping and hanger attachment. Even though your ligaments aren’t getting fatigued, attaching a hanger to your penis so tightly does ‘fatigue’ it in a way. Not a beneficial fatigue but your penis (soft tissues) need time to adjust to the hanger attachment area before you can up the weight to an amount that will fatigue your ligaments which will give length.

I haven’t gained barely anything since I started hanging 4-5 months ago. I’ve gone back down in weight to try and correct my technique.

I too have a smallish girth, about 5 inches (Varies abit up and down), I’m uncut and using the bib starter. The bib hanger isn’t symmetrical and has those dents in the padding and I’m sure there is something about the unevenness which makes my penis head turn.

I’m continuing on reading threads and hopefully will find a way to help but the learning curve for me has been very steep. I think if I don’t get much success soon I will have to try out Saiyans pipe repair clamp.

I beg to differ. Hanging downward will put stress not only on ligs, but on dorsal side of TA, which is the hardest to deform for most people. So, whatever the LOT is, hanging downward will probably be the most profitable of angles - at the least when starting.

I guess I’m basing my statement on my experiances with upwards angle hanging. I never really focused on downward angles and went straight into tunica hanging right from the start of my hanging carreer from fear of the LOT theory.

I suggested for unemployedPEguy to try tunica hanging since his LOT is low like mine and he hasn’t gained anything so far with his 2 months of hanging.

It couldn’t hurt if he at least tries a different angle to see if it ends up working for him.
