  • Wow, great to see you back here Blink, I have read just about everything you have on the forums and even though we havent PMed each other I feel as if you have helped me quite a bit. I am hanging myself but only every other day. I did the every day routine but I think personall for me that it was too much. I wll be looking forward to your knowledge here at the gym, glad to see you back. Feel free to check out my threads in the devices forums, i know I am just experimenting but your wisdom is always appreciated, sincerely BigO

    • Glad to hear you are back. I had to give up hanging due to privacy issues and I am now concentrating on extending with a VacExtender mod kit and using the vac cap as an Ads with 2 lb weight attached for up to 7 hours a day.

      Look forward to hearing more on your theories on weight stress and cell growth.

          thanks BigO! I did my best to document what I learned--I think I wrote around 14x articles (aside from forum threads/ articles). I wonder if they are all published yet...

          Anyway, that's great to hear (that something I wrote helped someone else). Definitely keep in touch!

            I plan to use an extender myself (at some point)-- mostly because it seems like its the best way to prevent Turkey Neck (and of course we have lots of veterans on this forum who have gained over 1.5" with extenders, so clearly they can deliver results).

            It is too bad you don't have the privacy you need... However, I don't think it matters how you reach your PE goal, as long as you get there (without killing, stealing or maiming!)--seriously though, whether you do manual, extender, or hanging... I have seen people get great results with any of the above. They all have advantages/ disadvantages...

            • My wife isn't as excited as I hoped she would be (to see me starting PE again). She has been relatively supportive in the past though (she actually sewed my HTWs together & she made my most recent rice socks).

              Thanks for the big welcome back guys.... It's good to be back.

              • I'm still just doing 2x sets per day with light weight. I expect it will be a month or two before I hit something like 10lbs... even then I plan to just go by feel; I have no goals in terms of weight. As long as I reach fatigue each session, I don't care what the weight was. In terms of sets my only goal is at least one per day (always) until I reach my ultimate goal, and I'll be shooting for 10hrs of hang-time per week minimum.

                I'm also working out at the gym these days-- I'm trying to get in shape overall, and in terms of PE as well... I know I always feel better / get sick less and I think I work harder and think more clearly when I'm in fantastic shape. Ideally I'll have a 6 pack by this coming summer; I think in the end it just depends on my commitment. If I want it badly enough, I'll find a way.

                    • One of my new favorite songs:
                      Sick Puppies - You're Going Down - YouTube

                      Anyway, it's been difficult to keep up with PE due to the holiday/ relatives/ less privacy... I'm in for the long haul though, so even if I can just get one set a day or even a set every other day, I'll do it... (Its hardly ideal, but better than stopping/ starting)

                      As soon as the holiday is over I'll be back in full swing (in fact maybe I'll try swinging sometime; I've noticed some hangers do this to hit fatigue early without changing the weight... )

                      • I had relatives in town which really threw a wrench in my PE activities.. in fact, one relative walked in (without knocking) while I had no pants on...

                        I wasn't erect or anything and I couldn't tell whether they saw anything, but it was still very awkward / a bit of an embarrassment. The relative made no comment about it later, and they didn't see me doing PE, so I stopped worrying about it after a day or so. I was forced to take a few days off, but I'll be back at it again tonight...

                        • I only did one set today-- I let too much time go by without getting back into hanging. Let's now see if I can be consistent...

                            • Just .75" --- most of it is due to hanging.

                              • I'm still working on getting more consistent... It seems difficult to find time for PE, yet I think I have plenty of time...
