New To Hanging

Hello all!

I recently (2 weeks ago) started back on to my PE career, from a 4 yr break. When I first started PE I measured in at 6” BPEL and worked my way up to 7” BPEL within 1 year. I lost interest in PE due to moving and work, but I’m back to reach my goal of 8” X 6”.

I did make some decent gains from using my ADS, but the gains slowed to nothing which may have also been a contributing factor to my loss of interest. So, to get back in the game I purchased a BIB starter to get me back on track.

Now I have some questions for anyone that wants to be if help.

1. I have been hanging BTC for 1.5-2 hrs/day at 2.5lbs for 2 weeks. Should I continue to hang BTC or do I need to switch it up from BTC to SO or OTS?

2. When should I start to increase my weight?

Continue to hang BTC until you stop gaining, BTC is the best position to maximize ligament gains, then switch up. Add no more than 1 lb per week, obviously if the weight feels like it’s too much, continue at the previous weight. Read the hanging 101 thread, at least the first page or so.

Thanks!

My best hanging gains have happened by hanging,jelquing, then using extender sets throughout the day. I’d stay btc as long as you gain then go so or ots.

I do “fowfers” all day long hoping to aid in my deformation.I wish I still had my ADS, but the wife found it, got pissed and destroyed it. She veiws PE as a form of cheating…crazy I know!

Thanks for your input.

I’ve been hanging for a couple of months with bib hanger, constantly swinging the weight from side to side. My starting weight was 2.5kg. I do 4 sets per day and I hang between 2.5kg to 3.5kg. At the end of every workout, I reach fatigue to the point where I have to reduce weight and sometimes I can’t hang any further at any weight because I’ve hanged to failure. What I don’t understand is how do people increase weights so high, like 20+ lbs. Bib recommends increasing weights up to 15% per week, or every week they increase 1-2lbs. How can I do the same when I keep reaching extreme fatigue at low weights? Am I doing something wrong if I am not able to increase my weights?

Are you sure it’s fatigue, and not pain from incorrect wrapping or something like that? I would think after 4 months, you should have been able to increase weight at least a little.

Yes it’s definitely fatigue, I feel it in my ligs, not below my glan. I’m really good at wrapping and attaching the hanger now, it’s consistent because it took me a really long time to get the hang of it. The hanger doesn’t slip now, it grips the shaft real good. Yes that’s what I was thinking, I should have been able to increase the weight by now, maybe it’s because I’m slowly swinging the weight constantly side to side and that increases the tension, so that’s why I reach fatigue every session?
