What has been the result,if anyone's tried this, or knows.

Has anybody tried to hang for more than 20 minutes at a time? Say at a lower weight(8lbs). What would be the result from doing that instead of hanging at higher weights for 20 minutes at a time, and decreasing weight every set. So if you hung at 8 or 10 or even 5 lbs for an hour orf two straight?

I hang 30 mins without break at even lower weight (4-5 pounds), I can’t tell what kind of result it gives, I just believe low weight longer time theory, rather than higher weght short time.

The 20 minute limit is for clamp-style hangers (BIB, Piet’s hanger, Wench etc) due to limit in bloodflow. Vacuum style hangers don’t have a time limit in the same sense - for them it is lymph buildup (and eventually blisters if you go to far) that limits time/weight.

So if you have a clamp style hanger, stick to the 20 minutes.

Yssupgnitaeevol— I hang lower weights for longer periods, and there is a point in the process where, at certain weights, you might be able to prolong the time you can stay in the clamp, by not tightening the clamp so hard, but that ‘zone’ is a very narrow envelope, so the basic ‘rule of thumb’ (20 minutes per set) is a good one.

When you’ve been hanging consistently for a long time (maybe a year or so) and your penis is conditioned to hanging, it is possible (generally towards the beginning of your routine) to hang for longer than twenty minutes, but that comes with time and perseverance.

The most important thing is to keep checking your penis. For example, if you’re numb after just five minutes you should immediately discontinue the set (regardless of the general 20-minute guideline), however if you’re able to hang for half an hour at a time before you begin to start getting numb, then it’s probably okay to do so (the danger is basically in cutting off blood supply, which subsequently causes cell-death. While you’ve got plenty of feeling in the glans and it looks relatively healthy, generally speaking you should be okay to continue the set). Also— care should be taken to avoid damaging the dorsal nerves and the nerve bundle just before the glans (but that’s a different issue).

In addition, it sounds like what you’re talking about is using a hanger as an ADS. I imagine it may be perfectly possible to do so (providing you don’t tighten it enough to cut off the blood-supply), but best to measure (and keep a record of) your gains so that you can tell if the low weight is actually working.

If you read the PPM theory it seems to me that light weight for a long time is the same thing as heavy weight for shorter time if the math works out to be the same PPM. Therefore is it possible that it makes no difference?

To be honest, I don’t know. I’ve always been weary of heavy weights, and have had great trouble hanging heavy. I once tried to ramp up my weights as fast as possible, since I thought it’d help me gain, but I just couldn’t physically hang more than 3kg, so I stuck at 3kg and have been gaining consistently ever since.

I also hang more or less all day, since I try and take advantage of every possible process that could be going on, including cell mitosis and plastic deformation etc. I figure, while I have the time I’ll experiment with all-day hanging sessions (since I could always experiment with heavy weights over short periods if and when I find myself without that kind of time on my hands).

Ultimately you should aim to hang as little weight as possible to maintain your personal maximum gain rate. If that’s such a light weight that it means you don’t have to tighten the hanger to the point that that twenty minute sets are a necessity, then so much the better.

You are right, in mathematic, 2x5 and 5x2 give you same answer, but I think in PE world it’s two different things. I’ll give simple explanation, but please forgive my English.

Your penis has a defensive system, and if you put higher weight, by the time it get used to that kind of weight, the weight will have no effectiveness, and you would add more weight continously.

That’s one thing in my mind about our body, if you run at 12 miles/hour, your body will get so tired after 10 minutes. But if you run at 4 miles/hour, you may run for 30 minutes. Both give you 2 miles. In the long term, althoug you are physically stronger, you just can’t run faster than 12 miles/hour, but you can run for longer time.

And for that reason, I always hang lower weight and increase the time little by little.

The appropriate weight is the amount that applies a “heavy stretch” without causing contraction of the ligaments. When you overweight the penis it will go into survival mode and contract to avoid falling off. It is an easy predicament to ascertain, you will feel the penis contract and shorten. You can put your arm in a stretching device and you will quickly know when you will blow out the shoulder, you can avoid this before the damage is done. It is the same for the penis, you will know when you are doing damage. You must learn to distinguish between the pain caused by blistering or skin “snake bite” irritation and the painful pleasure of a good hang.

Using lower weight for longer periods of time is not good technique, in my opinion, it is not as effective with the physiology. If you have braces on your teeth and they are not significantly tightened (where you are forced to a diet of soup for a couple days) your teeth will not move and reposition. The penis requires high levels of stress without inducing injury. You will become a penismeister when you can accomplish growth objectives without injury.
