Hanging 101

Hi guys, I understand the need for increasing up to heavier weights for the tunica as it is a stubborn thing to stretch. However, while starting out on stretching the suspensory ligaments in the BTC position, was wondering whether this also needs such heavy weights, or will a lesser weight consistently used stretch them sufficiently? Am thinking going heavy may tear them? Thanks :)

Hey there, I’m wondering do you guys know any site where I can buy a good hanger with a reasonable price?

I’ve been searching but I don’t really find something that looks great.

I have like 4 months free without doing anything so I’ll have time for.

got a nice compression hanger on this site called total man

I purchased their full kit and am very happy with the purchase and instructional video library.

Question

So i’m 3 weeks in to hanging
going slow

First week 1.5lb 10 mins
Second week 2.0lb 10 mins

Question

Should i just keep going up in weight each week

Or should i go up in time ?

thanks

Personally since I’ve been getting back into hanging the only thing I have been doing is adding sets and time. I’ve been using 5lbs with my vachanger and doing a few sets at 20 minutes, then 30 minutes, 40 minutes and so on. I can’t say what works best for you but I always had good gains going slowly and increasing duration vs intensity.

thanks Yoyototo appreciate the response

Question for the Hangers out there

Curious the difference between fatigue and a over all kinda numbness

hanging with a compression Total Man hanger

2.5 lbs 10 mins

and a few hours later
it feels kinda dull like almost a numb feeling
doesn’t hurt or anything

wondering if that is what is called Fatigue ?

Can any one explain what fatigue feels like ?

def feels like my dick is tired so maybe that is fatigue ! and not a numbness thing

Also I am on Day 17
took my first rest day yesterday

Fatigue for me seems to really start on my second set now. It might be different for every person but mine is a deep ache around the base of my penis and along the shaft. Definitely feels like if I did another set I would have to reduce time or weight.

Any one try the Sizewarrior Hanger ?

using a sandwhich type compression hanger now but gonna try the sizewarrior as well

I’m limited to standing up during the times I can hang, so I’d have to devise some type of pulley contraption to pull off a BTC hang while standing up.

I’m just starting, and noticed the OP is 11 years old. So before I go off rigging something new, I just wanted to see if the consensus is that starting with BTC is still the best starting point.

Have many people been able to gain 2+ with just hanging SD?

Would I be missing out on some gains by skipping BTC, or just slowing down potential gains?

What I’m trying to get at is that maybe in the future, I’ll be able find time to hang when I can sit down, and can switch to BTC at that point. But if I kill that opportunity for growth by not starting with BTC, I’ll just find a way to do BTC while standing up now.

My understanding is that by hanging SD or BTC allows you to maximize the suspensory ligament gains. I’ve only recently got back into hanging seriously and it makes sense to me that you start with BTC because it’s such an intense lig stretch. I don’t think you’ll miss out on gains by skipping BTC and hanging SD but the gains will come slower; almost like how some people will skip a dedicated warm-up or not apply heat while hanging.

I have been using LG for a some months now. Originally, I was using the noose style Zen Hanger. IMO, if you’re using a noose/compression clamp or anything that cuts off blood… DON’T! Save your pennies and by an LG. I SWEAR 1. it’s the best thing you’ll ever try. 2. I’m not associated with the company and 3. the customer service is unparalleled.

I’ll be posting a video of my experience discussing how it’s been going, how the gear has held up, what the learning curve has been, etc. in the near future.

Noticing today my EQ is kinda shot

I’m working in hanging between 20-40 mins a day
i go for about 10 min rounds

i’ve been consistent about 7 weeks now

but today my EQ is shot

Would you guys rest ? or just hang anyway

i know i read that you want to hang everyday

and not sure if this is kinda normal
🤔

thanks hangers

I’ve been hanging about the same length of time as you I don’t really take rest days. Hang 6 times 20 minutes on week days and only 1 or 2 sets on the weekend. I noticed a drop in EQ when I started hanging. I then started putting a heat cushion on my dick after hanging, which really helps the blood flow and my EQ is great again. Even straight after a good session

Do you heat after your hanging or how do you restore blood flow?
