14.1 total rest

15.1 hanging 1x25 min @ 7,25 kg (16 lbs) BTC left side of bumb. Short on time so I hit heavy manual stretches after hanging and realized that forces that I create with manuals are at least +30 lbs and I'm tempted to say 40 lbs. Tried hanging 20 lbs and it felt like nothing execpt discomfort in glans.

Yeah, but no gain still.

I don't like at all that I can hang 7 kg for an hour like it's nothing.

Hanging 40 min @ 7 kg + 20 min @ 5 kg. Right side of bumb.

Yes, finally I reached fatigue that was so uncomfortable that I had to drop the weight.

18.1
Hanging 60 min @ 7,25 kg. 30 min each side of bumb btc. Good fatigue but no need to drop weight.

Hanging
30 min SD @ 7,75 kg (17 lbs)
2x20 min btc @ 6,25 kg one set side of bumb

Measured nbpel and no change at all. It's 16 cm (6.3") when measured sitting. I don't know what I have to do to gain more. I try to hang btc/sd and stretch more/harder and use esl40. I wonder could decon break help.

Fulcrum hanging is one thing I haven't tried and pumping. And of course just hanging more weight. Time I do not have more.

Tough man! Its hard to go through all of this and not seeing gains! I believe that every measureday without gains bring you close to next measureday with gains! Hang(pun intended) in there buddy. I’m sure you will see gains soon.

Do you use your extender btw? I have been using mine more lately also before hanging. And it helps me reaching fatigue feeling sooner i think. I dont have much to show for it though except som temporary gains just after a session. Just a thought.

I don't have actual extender. Only esl40. And VacHanger can be used with bungee cord to get much higher force ads.

Maybe I turn that stone too and get extender. But before that my plan is to hang more weight btc. If I don't see gains I'll switch to hanging over fulcrum. And FJx stretcher is one device I think I'll have to try if hanging fails to deliver gains. Decon break is one option. There's still things to try before quitting.

It is just that I saw PE actually works when gains started to come. I started to believe that I could have that +5-6 cm (2-2.5") length gain that some claim, if I put enough effort and time. I would have willpower to do this for years if I would saw even 1 cm in a year (0.4"). Less than mm in a month. But if you gain zero in 6 months...Still doing it hard.

Been doing heavy manual stretching sessions few times a day and esl40 usage as always. I realized when tested hanging 20 lbs that I generate MUCH more force with manuals. I don't know if I should change evening hanging to stretching session.. First I'll give hanging more time to work. BTC for a month and if nothing happenens I'll try fulcrum hanging. If that doesn't work, then I'll try heavy manuals.

One thing I have not been doing properly is the use of heat. My good gel heating pad broke and I've not bought new one. I think I'll try electric heating pillow.

Took 3 days completely rest.

29.1

Hanging 1x40 min btc @ 8,75 kg (19,3 lbs)
Hanging 1x20 min 1.5" fulcrum @ 6,25 kg (13,8 lbs)

Started with 7,5 kg and felt nothing. Went up to 8,75 kg and almost nothing. I have a fucking steel cock. No big fatigue with these weights and VacHanger3 is on limit. Fuck. Fulcrum hanging supposed to be harder but 6,25 kg right away no fatigue.

30.1
Manual stretches during breaks from esl40 which I used about 4 hours per leg.

Hanging 2x20 min btc @ 9 kg (20 lbs) one set each side of bumb
1x15 min standing over fulcrum @ 6,25 kg

What I've not emphasized enough is use of heat. Now I'll use it as much as I can before and during workouts. It could be "missing incredient" to gains.
