Aeden progress log LG hanger

[aeden314 Member Find all posts View Profile Close aeden314]

Hello, so I've tried to use the bibhanger on and off for years to no avail. Been up to 15 lbs BTC with no fatigue, and no pull whatsoever in my ligaments. Would have liked to go higher but it was incredibly painful, even with all the help from bib. Bottom left of my shaft continued to tear open/bleed and be very sensitive. All I experienced with it was pain, skin scarring and skin stretch. I decided to give the LG a try as a last resort since it was so well praised, especially about the comfort. I just received it yesterday and so I will keep a log here. Hopefully I can gain for the first time in years.

Starting measurements: BPFSL 8.1/4, BPEL 7 1/2 inches, NBPEL 5.7/8 inches (huge difference to my BPEL)

So yesterday I hung a few sets with it, and then today I started "seriously" hanging

So far: 1 hour @ 5 lbs, 5 hg of pressure. The hanger IS comfortable, however, I don't like the wrap supplied with it (tender tape). I've put J&J hurt free tape under the tender tape, and that still sucked. Will experiment with wraps. No fatigue of course, and don't expect it for weeks or until 10 + lbs given my past experience. Ive hung 15 lbs for 20 minutes sets, but I do realize and am very hopeful, that hanging lower weights for 1+ hour at a time might bring on way more stretch/fatigue.

Goals: 7 inches NBPEL. After that, maintain. Just hoping to gain an inch and I'll be very happy.

LG hours: 1

To any Canadians interested, please keep in mind the exchange rates. The hanger (a package + shipping) cost me a total of $460. I hope it will be worth it. If I gain an inch, I'd pay way more than $460. Thank you.

Logged another hour yesterday night, and just another hour now

LG hours: 3

Not too much to report. No fatigue/pull. Only using 5 lbs at the moment. Will use this for another few days then go up by either .5 lbs or 1 lb.

Did an hour and a half yesterday. Up to 20 minutes today, and planning to be in for another 40 mins then 60 tonight. I'm using Johnson & Johnson hurt free tape and then the tender tape spiraled over it. One thing I don't like is that near the end of sets, my penis head gets this cold feeling that gives a very minor burn sensation. When I take the wrap off, my penis looks completely mangled up. After playing with it and jelqing it a bit, the skin is pink and all is normal after 2-3 minutes.

Using 6 lbs now. Still no pull or anything.

LG hours: 6 1/2

Hung another hour. Again, cold burn feeling 40 mins in. No blisters or anything though. Just need to get used to it and then it'll go away I assume. At 6 lbs. Will try to log another 20 hours before moving up to condition. I really want to avoid blisters and being out for a week. I hope I can feel this lig stretch/fatigue everyone talks about before 10 lbs, or around there.

LG hours: 7 1/2

Hung 2 hours yesterday. Moved up to 7 lbs today. Tried to put some teflon on the seal thing since a lot of people suggested it in the LG rep thread. We'll see how much it helps. I find when I plug the pump in and pump to 5 hg, it goes down to sometimes 0 after 5 minutes. So maybe a leak in the pump hose or the hanger? Who knows. I do know that my penis head stays touching the dome, so must not be the dome..

Hung 1 hour x 7 today. So +3 hours

LG hours: 10 1/2 hours

Another thing I like about this hanger is you can have sex or jerk off and then hang anyway. With the Bib hanger, I found that if I jerked off or had sex, that was it for the day. I could not reattach the hanger. It would be too painful and uncomfortable. Even hours after ejaculation. Perhaps this only happened to me but if it happened to anyone else, the LG avoids this!

Still no fatigue/pull. Hoping for it before 10 lbs. Or at all I guess, but preferably the lower the better.

Another hour in today so

LG hours: 11 1/2

Another 2 hours logged today. Still no pull. 7 lbs.

LG hours: 13 1/2


Noticing that my glands looks less mangled by the end of hanging now. Must be adjusting to the wrap. I went back to the blue tape supplied.

Try wrapping with a semi erection. Don't wrap too tight though. You want to allow the glans to expand in the LG chamber.

[aeden314 Member Find all posts View Profile Close aeden314]

I think that was the problem, so thank you again for the help. When I remove the hanger now, it looks much better since I've started wrapping less tight.

Hanged the past 3 days for 8 1/2 hours total. So up to 22 hours. At 8 lbs now, and still feel nothing, but I will try to stay here for a minimum of 5 days to allow everything to adjust. At this weight, no negative signs or pain or anything. But I will try not to go up in weight too quickly, even if I feel nothing. Hard to accept the fact that faster does not mean faster results. Hopefully feel something soon.

LG hours: 22

Past few days at 8 lbs + 9lbs today: 7 1/2 hours. No pull/fatigue

Hung 9 lbs today. Used 5 hg the first set, and 7 hg the second.

Having trouble figuring out this pressure stuff. Not trying to criticize the hanger. The hanger is great and everything but I don't understand why I'm having trouble with pressure reading. My glands stay glued to the dome while hanging the entire hour, so then obviously it isn't losing pressure (or it is but slowly) but when I attach the pump initially, pump up to 5-7 hg, all the pressure leaves after 2-3 minutes. The pump will read 0. I didn't get a good explanation, or perhaps I didn't understand, when I asked in the official. I checked the hose on the pump and everything and there seems to be no holes whatsoever. Not sure why this occurs.

Also, I stick my thumb in the sleeve, seal it then pump up to 5 hg. Initially my finger will feel a ton of pressure like it's being pulled, and the meter on the pump will read 5 hg, but as the pump goes down to 0 hg, I don't feel that pressure anymore on my thumb. Is the pressure still there, it's just that my thumb is used to the pressure now? It has "normalized" to the pressure or something? Or does this mean it's a leak in the dome?

Anyway, I'm not obsessing over it too much because I assume that as long as the glands stay glued to the dome, then there isn't slippage, and so it's fine. I'd still like to know just because I want to understand what's going on.

Total LG hours: 29 1/2

Hung 1 hour 9 lbs today, got major donut swelling. Still hasn't gone down 1 + hour later. No fatigue/pull either. Will try to reduce the weight and climb up in 0.5 increments or something.

I'm not sure what you are doing. Nearly tore your dick apart before... then fork over $450 for a frigging hanger and now you are getting problems all over again?!

I think you need to start working smarter, not harder. Maybe you maxed out your lig gains, try hanging in other directions. Try a break. Anything. Just stop bashing your head into the wall with only injuries to show for it. You're better off with 7.5" then a dick that's broke.

Your BPFSL also shows that you might need to do different exercises... such as clamping. I don't know if the theory is sound but it's worth trying.

[aeden314 Member Find all posts View Profile Close aeden314]

I wish it was a 7.5'' but that's bone pressed. I'm aiming for 7'' non bone pressed and I'll call it off after that. As far as donut swelling, that's definitely somewhat normal compared to the problems many experience (bleeding, blisters). It isn't injured, but I will reduce weight to prevent that. I think I needed to wait a few more days before going up in hg/weight. A lot of guys experience blisters at 5-6 lbs and so all things considered, I'm doing great and I'm glad I haven't had one yet.

I know what you're referring to with the clamping theory thing. I've been thinking about trying to clamp for awhile. My erect girth right now is 5 inches, and a bit more at the mid shaft. I'm just trying to read about it more because I'm not sure if doing girth exercises can get me any significant length, which is essentially all I want. The theory is that given the structure or whatever of my penis, that maybe girth exercises result in better length gains than length stretches, but I'm not sure about that. Might introduce them slowly though, and see for myself.

Also, so far, no regrets on the money spent. If you can gain length from low weights, and experience fatigue like others say they do at 7-9 lbs, then I'd recommend it over the other hangers. I've only been using it for like 2 weeks though, so I'll see if in 3-6 months I change my attitude.

Today I did 9 lbs for 4 sets of 30 minutes instead of 2 sets of 1 hour. No fluid buildup/edema. All is normal. Guess I went up too fast in weight/pressure.

[aeden314 Member Find all posts View Profile Close aeden314]

Still been hanging 9 lbs, but only for 30 min sets. 4 sets a day.

[aeden314 Member Find all posts View Profile Close aeden314]

Did the same yesterday as the days before. 4 30 minute 9 lb sets. Been trying to do 45 minutes (starting today) and then eventually 1 hour. So working my way up to 1 hour sets slowly. To clarify, I plan to switch from 4 x 30 to 2 x 1. Not do 4 sets of 1 hour.

As far as the gains, hard to measure BPEL because my eq is hard to max since I'm on antidepressants and they definitely kill my libido. Havent jerked off in months and have no desire to so forcing myself to get hard by looking at porn is hard. My BPFSL yesterday was not 8 1/2, neither is it today, BUT.. it is passing my record of 8 1/4 everytime now which means I did gain slightly.

No fatigue yet. Let's keep going..

[aeden314 Member Find all posts View Profile Close aeden314]

Been hanging consistently. 1 1/2 - 2 hours a day. At 10.5 lbs now and day 42. Not sure of the hours but plan to count it up at day 60. As for gains.. well my BPFSL has increased by a bit, and my BPEL. Unfortunately, my NBPEL has not moved. Not sure what to attribute it to, but as long as BPEL increases, that's fine. Haven't been able to take accurate measurements for BPEL due to EQ so not sure how much I've gained, but since my BPEL is passing 7 1/2 inches on the ruler, I know it has at least increased. 7 1/2 has been my plateau for years.

No fatigue yet. Kind of worried about that as usual. I'd love to feel it. Starting to get a bit uncomfortable in the hanger about 10 lbs, but mostly in the last 20 minutes or so.

Sets are 45 mins long. Any longer and I get really bad discoloration. Even at 45 mins I do, but not as much. Usually gone within the day, if not the next.
