Hanging with fatigue

My ligs felt fine after a long session yesterday. As soon as I started to hang they started to ache, hurts slightly even. I should just hang through the fatigue right? From what I’ve read it’s the best method I believe. But should I keep the weight the same and the time the same constantly every day. Or shorten either the weight or time.

As for rest days from hanging? Advisable or not?

you needn’t go down with time unless you can’t stand it any longer and your weight has dramaticaly decreased.
use the weight you can ride the fatigue with. if you have to lower it because otherwise it is painful, do it.

rest days yes or not. some people say yes some people say no. there are a lot of people who gained with and without rest days. bib did not rest. I do not as well. it is up to you and how you feel. if you have an injure you need to rest.

Anymore answers?

The idea is to ride the fatigue for as long as possible. Lowering the weight is fine if you can no longer handle the current weight. Should be doing 20 minute sets, lowering the weight as necessary to complete the set. You should not feel any pain, only discomfort.

Bib did take rest days, he hung weekdays and rested weekends (in general). He recommends not taking any rest days.

It would be normal to have to lower the weights if you get good fatigue.

I think Bib actually said that he had to lower weights for days due to fatigue.

Another question. Would it be a decent idea to hang with a higher weight for less time. Say 20minutes at a high weight which you can actually handle though and I mean 20 mins total for the day.

I believe some where on the little I read about hanging there was a guy doing this who gained. I mean I’d rather do that but I don’t want to toughen up my ligaments so much. Obviously if they do get tougher I can throw on more weight but I’d like to use the method to gain most.

I’ve seen that guys posts as well. Personally, I like to go for the tried and true method of hanging. That being said, PE appears to be one big trial and error experiment for most of the big gainers.. So it’s hard to tell you you shouldn’t try something out. I would read around for a while and gather as much information about this method of hanging beforehand.

Well I’m doing kaans belt hanging approach. I basically went from light stretching to holding 30 pounds off my dick for a while. My ligs really ached so I thought I’d cut back the weight. Now I do like 10lb 5min warmup then 20lb for however long. If it’s longer than an hour between sets I’ll go back to 10lb to relax the ligs.

I think my plan will be to do this for a month, At the moment I’m doing 20mins daily total. I’ll try and bump this up to as much as I can handle and when I get to my peak amount of time I’ll do it everyday for one month and see how I get a long(will probably be 40mins), if things are good results or indicators. Then I’ll do it for 3 months total then bump up the weight and do shorter amount of time and then again slowly build up the time or bump up the weight again as and when needed. I’d much rather do high weights for a short time but I don’t want to strengthen my ligs to quickly.

good luck and keep us updated please

First off, what do you hang with. Second, yes, when the ache starts to actually hurt, and it starts to “annoy” you, you should lower weight say by 2.5 lbs, then 2.5 lbs again, and ride it all out.

I said like two posts ahead what I hang with, but it’s not conventional hanging, kaans got a thread about it. I think it targets the tunica along with the ligs too but if you get the technique right you’re not holding much of the weight with your hands which is why higher weights can be used. I have since lowered the weight to something I can handle though thanks.

But can anyone comment on my routine plans above? Don’t newbies hang for like 40minutes a day though? I think I should work my way up too that. (Two posts above this)

Yeah, I have never heard of belt hanging before. Good luck with that one.

I think the experts strongly advise against the belt hangers because they are like nooses which are highly condemned in PE.

The other guys are right - ride the fatigue, but lower your weights. What is your hanging method? Straight down?

Also, Bigger now recommends no rest days because when you rest, the tissue has the chance to heal in its retracted state. Even if you can only do 1 set on what you might call a rest day, do it. According to Bigger, hanging each day breaks up the adhesions that are forming as your unit heals and keeps it in a deformed state. I used to take 2-3 days off and have changed my routine to hanging 7 days a week. Saturday and Sunday are only an hour while M-F are 3 hours.

It’s strange how with manual exercises you can gain plenty of length with only like 15mins a day and still take days off in a week. Yet when you switch to hanging, you not only use more weight than manual exercises but you end up doing it for hours a day and now no rest days? Oh well I was going to make this my first of two rest days, guess I’ll do some light hanging since I’ve heard hanging 7days a week is a good idea before too.

Oh and it’s not a noose type method, read kaans thread. But yes it stretches the ligaments straight down and the tunica in the middle. I do 40minutes a day.

Cool, just looking out for you! As far as rest days go, I think if you use an ADS on your off day you’ll be good. I took my rest days and still gained, but I’m going to follow Bigger’s advice. I like to hang anyway - it feels good!
