Hanging: Ride the Fatigue (Blink's Progress)

Great post. Sounding like an old pro!

Blink, what type of wrap do you use? I received and tried the redi stretcher, I just can’t get the whole wrap thing down. I tried ace and theraband cut about 1” by 16” and followed the advice in the hanger forum, I really think I have too much skin from my fat pad and turkey neck. It was getting pinched and bunched up. Should I try the HTW as a solution? Would the HTW work to keep skin back towards the fat pad and work in place of theraband for the redi stretcher and bib starter? Im planning on buying a bib starter in the next week or two, but I would like to use the HTW with it for its simplicity. sorry to hijack your progress thread.

I use HTW as a base with theraband over it. Stretch your penis out while you wrap it—and make sure you’re behind the circumcision scar. It’s possible you’re not wrapping right.

I did reach 6.75” a few weeks back. I checked on several different days to make sure I believed my eyes. It’s strange to see that I’m most of the way to 7” after starting at only 6”.

I haven’t PEd for a few weeks now/ I’ve been trying to turn around an ailing business, and it’s taking all of my time/ effort lately. I need to get back into PE soon.

It’s near the end of October… my last post was the 13th of sept.

My EQ quality is down a bit (I haven’t been doing kegels). I’ve kept 90% or more of my gains, although it hasn’t been long since I stopped PE.

Maybe I’ll try & start again tomorrow… I only gained .75”, and I was hoping for a minimum of 2” overall—so I’ve still got a long way to go if I want to reach that goal.

I only PE’d for a little over 2 months to start—and I’ve now had about 3 months of inactivity. I’m guessing I’ll have to start slow// start over. Except that I’ve still got most of my gains. I figure 2 months is not enough to cement anything…

I think the end of August was my last time spent PEing, so my break was for 3 months. I’m warming up right now—I’ll PE today for the first time since then.

I checked again—it looks like my last PE journal entry was Aug 13th (so Aug 14th to Dec 4th was my long break). I had done 7x sets. I didn’t note the weight that day, but I know the heaviest weight I had use was only 6.5lbs. I’m sure the .75” I gained was all newbie gains. I do question the measure I got—I noticed it was hard to get it right in a picture. I completely understand why some people clamp to take a picture—it’s quite hard to get everything right, and my penis has a curve, so it takes both hands to properly measure. I may have my GF take progress pictures in the future…

Hey man great great thread you got going here :) I will be following it from now on, your approach and dedication is great and I’m glad to hear you have been gettin gains with your bib. I purchased a bib a while back but I have been having trouble finding the time but reading your thread has given me a spark to try and make the time I need thanks.

Thanks Chilli. My total gains were .75”, but I’ve already lost 1/8” of that (about). I’m now a little shy of 6.75”, after starting at 6”. My new goal is simply 8”. I did a few hanging sets 3 days ago 4-5lbs, with light jelqs then got extremely ill for a few days (so no PE for a few days). Today I weighed myself, and I realize I’ve gained weight, I’m right back up to 220 lbs (after getting all the way down to 185lbs). It took only 3.5 months to gain the weight back. I gained 5lbs last week alone (ridiculous, I know). I wouldn’t say it’s a lack of resolve or dedication—basically, I let work//other real life issues completely stop my PE/ workouts (I’ve been working long hours/ high stress). Ironically, I think I’m less productive now that I haven’t been working out & I feel worse all the time as well. I’m going to PE in a few minutes now & start the work of getting back on track. I made excellent progress in getting in shape & doing PE for just 2.5 months. I think if I can do this for a little longer than that, I can make it a life habit. I want to gain 1.25” more & get in shape at the same time. I know it may take a while, but I really want to make this happen. My goal related to getting in shape, is simply to get a 6 pack. So my actual weight is irrelevant; this way if I gain a lot of muscle mass, I will still know if I’m making progress (losing my gut). When I was 26 years old I had a 28” waist (4.5% bodyfat then). I’m hoping to get at least down to a 30” waist (I’m about 38” now, which is horrible).

Dec 09 2008 Summary:
Then: 6” / now 6.68” (about)
Then: 220 lbs (got down to 185), / now 220 lbs

Goal 8” BPEL
Goal Get in shape

I’m still at around 6.5” BPEL, even with a low/medium EQ erection. I’m hoping to break the 7” mark in the next few months (consider I was at 6.75” not that long ago).

I did 4x sets yesterday with low weight & I plan on doing the same again today. Once I stopped PEing, it was hard to start again. I honestly stopped because sex with my GF was really hard on my unit, and I was worried about an injury. I still have the same GF, and I think I’ve gotten accustomed to her (she’s really tight for me—enough to where it caused pain until I got used to her).

She’s been encouraging me to PE (it doesn’t seem like I even need it with her). Mostly I’m doing it for myself, although it’s nice that she appreciates it & supports it (even though it seems unnecessary in our sexual relationship).

I’ve only been PEing a few days—amazing the vascularity increase is SUBSTANTIAL and noticeable with just those few days (I can see thick veins coming back). I’m just surprised—I expected to go weeks before noticing any real growth indicators.

Someone PM’d me today, asking for the compilation of notes I was making to summarize a lot of hanging information that was scattered here & on bib’s forum. I’m going to have to check my notes & see if I can find the information. I believe it was still a little incomplete… If I can find it & clean it up I’ll either post it here or post a link to it… for now I hope I still have the information, it does represent a fair amount of reading & work to pick out important key points. Effectively, each time I learned something new that was important, I would make a note of it. I think it’s fair to say I didn’t read any posts anywhere that summarized everything critical in one shot; this is why I found it necessary to compile some coherent notes on an otherwise scattered topic. Unless someone has already this (posted a good compilation of hanging data, organized, etc) I may go ahead & post it if I ever get it together…

I’ve been on & off, but doing better lately—unfortunately I’m missing 2x days at a time—so I’m not making much progress on gains (probably). I am getting re-conditioned though so I’ll be able to do more weight soon. A few weeks ago I started over effectively— hopefully I can keep being consistent. I have had a lot of time to PE, and I think I’ll be pretty happy if I can reach 8”. I can re-evaluate if/when I ever get there.

Looks like my last post was in late Feb 09…. A lot has happened since then.
1-I gained 57lbs!! (I was up to 245 lbs from 188lbs)
2-I didn’t PE at all (I checked yesterday, I’m still 6.5”, so I kept 66% of my gains)
(I have more loose skin on my flaccid than I used to—clearly the skin is still there—maybe a little hanging will pull that slack out…)
3-I didn’t do any kegels, my EQ is about 60% down from a peak of maybe 90%
4-I got married & went on a honeymoon.

What\’s Happened More Recently
1-I got back from my honeymoon & started dieting, I’ve already lost 15lbs (down to 230). My target weight is 175-180 (I’ll have a hard six pack at that weight—it’s my college wrestling weight, and I’m actually stronger now than I used to be…)
2-I’ve only been PEing 1 week. As the weeks go by, I’m going to slowly add sets.
3-I’ve made some new goals.

This Month
I’ve jumped back into hanging, just doing low weight 2 sets a day. My plan for the rest of this month is just to condition myself for the attachment point stress, do light jelquing & kegels. I don’t have any gain goals this month, just to be consistent and get conditioned to where I’m comfortable increasing the weight I’m using/ and to get to the point where I can be aggressive & go for some gains.

Goals (Where I am & Where I want to be)
I’m at least 1/2” from where I started nearly a year ago. Initially I gained .75” in just 3 months — so I think my new goal of 1.5” in the next 6 months is perfectly reasonable. I’m completely deconditioned (no PE at all for about 3 months). Considering my EQ is substantially down, its very possible I haven’t lost any of my gains at all.

Method: Hanging. BTC, SO, and later I’ll switch to the rice sock ductape fulcrum (doh, forgot what it’s called). Once I’m really tired of the normal angles I’ll go for UTC/ OTC/ and other more funky angles.

Started: 6” BPEL
Now: 6.5” BPEL (I was 6.75”)
Goal: 8” BPEL in under 6 months

The Routine
For now, I’m not going to worry about girth… Although I do have cable clamps in my toolbox, I’ll be patient & wait until I am at my ‘ideal length’. I’m just going to be religious about:
1-Warm Up (hot rice sock)
2-Hang 20 minute Sets (max time before tissue necrosis due to oxygen deficiency)
3-Warm between sets/ restore circulation
4-Light BTB Jelqs afterwards, with altering grips (I’ll increase the number slowly)
5-Kegels (slowly increase the number I do)
6-Good Warm Down
7-Ice only if I’m actually sore (more than very light soreness), avoid turtleing.
8-Once I increase my number sets to at least 3-4, I’ll do day/ night split sets.

A New Advantage
My wife is very supportive on me working out/ eating right/ AND PE :) Although I am keeping a detailed journal, this thread the best overall summary of my activity. Hopefully, I’ll stick with my goals and have some nice gains to report! I didn’t have a wife supporting me before, so I anticipate better gains this time & more resolution & follow-through.

On a side note—I didn’t PE at all during those months on purpose. Inconsistent PE just makes a tough dick (maybe even a smaller one). So—this is why I’m barely getting back into PE again.

Sweet, now go ride that fatigue!
