Hanging 101

How carefull do you have to be with rest days to not get the short and strong penis instead of a long one? Are the rest days really a factor in this sense?

Hello Rickrory.

Bib advocates never taking rest days. Personally, I think one rest day per week may be something you need to avoid injury. Generally, with hanging we need to avoid taking one step forward and two steps back. I recommend you keep a log of your progress to record both your successes and failures. You can experiment with your rest days and see what gives you the best length gains over time (e.g. if you're plateauing and gaining nothing, you could either be over-working, or not properly reaching fatigue). You'll have to use your best judgement and make that assessment on your own. Your progress journal along with recorded measurements (e.g. monthly) can be invaluable tools for helping you make accurate self-assessments. I recommend you record not just your BPEL, but your BPFSL (if you're not sure what that means, check my terms definitions here: https://www.pegym.com/forums/progres...s-journal.html yes that's also the first page of my progress journal).

I've been doing these for a week, I'm unable to hang because of being uncut.

A lot of uncut guys hang just fine. You may be forced to start your wrap farther back to keep the bulk of the load on the sides of your erectile chambers. You may need to throw out some of the advice about where to start your wrap, and just find what works for you (e.g. whether you start the wrap 2" back or even farther is up to you; experiment and find what works).

I think just a normal manual routine may be safer than what you're doing with the backpack; I recommend you get a real hanging device and really follow the advice in hanging 101, or maybe you should stick with a manual routine. You're welcome to reinvent the wheel, but I advise you to (instead) use tried & true methods which have already proven to give gains for many others (vs. experimenting with something completely new). You're welcome to take an experimental approach on yourself (no one here can stop you), but you'll be on your own that way, and probably at much higher risk of injury, and your odds of having success will be much lower as well.

I have just started hanging and are experiencing a cold and blue glans after a set. I've tried to release the pressure of the cableclamp(I'm using The Captain's Wench) but it doesn't work that well and if I do it to much the hanger will fall off. What can I do? Is it really a problem if the glans turns blue and cold?

Are you doing a good warmup before your sets?

Also make sure you're giving yourself full 10 minute breaks between sets.

At least for me, I couldn't avoid cold glans early on with my hanging, but my circulation improved as my body adapted. If you're very new to hanging, this may be part of the issue. Also, make sure you're squeezing the blood out of your glans before you tighten the hanger.

I don't have much experience using a cable clamp (for hanging); this may be part of the issue. Using a professionally made hanger might solve the problem (or perhaps someone with a lot of captns' wench experience can advise).

If you've been hanging a few months and this continues to happen, then I would say its possible there's a problem with your hanger-attaching technique, or with the way you wrap. (if you wrap really tight, this could further aggravate things). Getting your hanger settings perfect is always an ongoing battle, and you'll find as the weight increases, you'll always need to further refine your hanger attachment technique (or pay the price with an injury, or be forced to reduce the weight).

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I've read the whole guidelines for hanging, and I want to know if I can split the sets along the day...like 1 at morning, 1 at afternnon and one at night.
Is it okay to do that without prejudice my gains?

I don't see why not. If that is what works best for you, then do it.

I've been doing these for a week, I'm unable to hang because of being uncut. But instead of a kettlebell I use the handle of my backpack, and fill it with heavy items and such like in the pic.

I think it's quite good but I'm not sure, I feel more fatigue in my gripping hand than the penis, but hope it's working there too. Currently doing 30 minutes, twice a day with around 13lbs. Is this enough time? I ask because I'm in uni so normally busy, and it's pretty painful and mentally taxing so hopefully it's enough lol.

You shouldn't hang if uncut? Why?

I have no idea why an uncut guy would have problems hanging. I'm very loosely circumcised and my shaft skin goes over my glans when I hang. Perhaps poor hanger technique, and/or the wrong hanging device?

I plan to start hanging when I finish JP90, is it not recommended for uncut people in general, or is it just this dudes opinion?

Opinion. Anchoring the weight should be done around midshaft or closer to the stomach. Everyone is the same at that range, cut or uncut.

So its not harmful to hang using something like the BIB hanger if uncut?

Again, why would an uncircumcised man have any more trouble?

Thats what I'm asking, Dirk_Diggler said he does hang for the reason he's uncut

[malehanger Banned Find all posts View Profile Close malehanger]

Well, I guess PM Dirk and ask what his reasons are. I have not met another man in the last year since I've been hanging weights who was uncircumcised and had a problem hanging weights.

I'm uncut and have had no problems hanging, just saying... Just a steep learning curb and some people like to blame something rather then admit they aren't doing something right.
