Hanging 101

[HellyBelly Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close HellyBelly]

So I just started hanging with the BIB. I noticed my glance is getting pretty cold, how do I know when it's too cold and I should stop? Should this (getting cold) be prevented and if so, how? I just started with 1kg (2,2 pounds) and I'm not getting fatigued at all. This was my second time hanging, should I add some weight already?

Please re-read the first page of this thread. Also look over:

When I say "look over", that means reads thoroughly. Which BIB?? Details help.

Will do. It's the BIB Starter.

Hello All,

Just thinking on start with hanging. Very good thread!

My question is, will hanging help with a curved penis also?

Thansks,

Thansks,

I have heard it can help straighten one similar to how wearing an extender can. In much less time per day though.

Guys, Im on my second week hanging and im wondering if I should increase the weight, because I'm able to handle the same amount in all the sets, Im using 2 lbs, working at SD and BTC angles.

Yep, check out page one, where I outline an example routine and give advice on how/when to move up.

Hey!! I Just had my first hanging session today - 3x5min at 2,2 lbs. Everything felt tight and it all went pretty easy. I did no warm up or down, just a couple of helicopter shakes, manual stretches and some kegels before and after. How important is warm up/down when hanging for making gains?

[BigO AdministratorPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close BigO]

I like to warm up to prevent injury, some dont think this is required. I do not believe that there is ant statitical evidence that warm ups help with gains but I still do them. For me it is as much mental as anything. I feel ready when I am warmed up.

If you apply viscoelastic material theory to it then the heat allows the ligs and tunica to reach the plastic stage sooner. The elastin fibers strain quicker so that the collagen fibers bear the load sooner.


I too warm up automatically. This is not a big deal. Getting a beer from the fridge is.

Newbie w/o ligaments

This is my first post. I hope it is worth reading.

I thought I was going to start with an extender (hence my forum name), but after finding this web site and reading lots of posts, especially many forum posts on hanging, I decided to try hanging first. The main reason for my decision is the sock hanger is such an easy, inexpensive way to start hanging. Buying an extender is expensive. So, since I would like to gain some length (girth later) I made that decision. I am hoping to get some feedback from experienced hangers about the following.

Back in 1994 I had my suspensory ligaments cut. It was quite an experience, but I doubt anyone in this thread would be interested in that story. In retrospect I wish I had not done the procedure.

Based on what I have read on this site, some of the gains from extending and hanging seem to come from stretching the ligaments. In hanging there seems to be some initial emphasis on achieving that ligament stretch. However, I do not have any ligaments to stretch. I am wondering if there is anything I should be aware of given my particular circumstance.

I just started hanging -- just a simple, two pound hang while seated with my butt near the front edge of the chair and everything hanging straight down. My penis normally exits from a relatively normal looking spot (lower than it did before, but still normal looking). However, during the stretch the base of my penis exits much below the pubic bone -- I guess that is not surprising since there are no ligaments holding it up higher. This leads to my primary question:

Should I forget about hanging at the angle of sitting? That angle seems best for stretching the ligaments. Since I have no ligaments to stretch, maybe a better angle would be perpendicular to my body. If the experienced people here agree, then how would I easily achieve that? The only thing I can think of would be some type of pulley system, but that complicates getting setup to hang while seated. Hanging while seated is very convenient since I can use my computer while hanging. On the other hand, is it going to be just as productive to hang as I am currently hanging and forget about figuring out a way to hang with my penis perpendicular to my body?

Another question I have (which will show my "newbie" lack of knowledge and experience) is this: extender/traction devices need to be worn for multiple hours every day to get results, but hanging should not be done for more than 20 minutes. This must be because of the greater pull being done on a penis by the weights used for hanging compared to the pull being done on a penis by a traction device. Traction devices seem to use around 1000 grams for force (some a little less, some double that). If I did the math right, a 1000 gram force is about the same as a 2 pound weight, and a 2000 gram force would be around 4 pounds. Assuming that is correct, then would it be OK to hang for a "long time" using 2 pounds for a few hours each day?... building up to 3, maybe at most 4 pounds?

Thanks for any insight and comments

By the way, my starting numbers are:

BPEL: 4.5 inches
MEG: 4.25
BPFSL: 5.0
MFG: 3.5

Clearly I have a long way to go get anywhere near where I would like to be. But I won't get there if I don't try.

I would hang light and possibly try straight out and you can use a pully or a clamp attached to a desk to do this. remember to stay at low weight.

Thanks for your input.

I am starting with 2 pounds, and only for 20 minute sessions.

If my idea is correct that hanging with a small weight (2 to 4 lbs) is similar to extending with a 1000g to 2000g extender, then I will gradually increase the duration of the sessions, keeping the weight at two pounds for now.

I also thought about some sort of pulley under the desk. I think what I will do is use a small eye screw screwed into the underside of the desk and pass a piece of nylon line through it. The nylon should have little friction on the eye screw. Then I will attach a weight to one end of the nylon line, and the other end to a cord that I can tie to the sock. I am going to try that today.

Thanks again!

Awesome! I've been looking for information on hanging, but was afraid because of the cost and the whole idea of it. I found MaleHanger for $35.00 + shipping (if anyone has information on this device it would be greatly appreciated).
