I know you are supposed to hang 7 days a week. Does every one in here stick to that rule?
I usually go for 5 days a week due to busy weekends . Do you think the 5 days a week approach will hurt my agains or will i still progress with 5 days on and 2 days off ??

I lmao'd at your title. You're not necessarily supposed to hang 7 days a week. It is recommended to keep the ligs nice and loose and deformed for better gains and stretches.
I don't stick to that rule and have made modest gains so far, but if you're doing 5 days straight a week and taking the weekends off you should be more then fine with your hanging. Just make sure you don't tire out or overtrain and really watch those PI's.
What kind of routine are you doing with the hanging?

I too, laughed quite hard at the title :p I surely hope he means 8 TIMES a week? Even so, that just sounds crazy, and even the 7 times a week approach of hanging, nobody does that? Your body needs time to rest.

Alright all joking aside, Letitride, hanging 7 days a week is unadvisable because you do need at the very least one day to rest up. While you will be deforming the ligs and tunica, you also might overtrain and inevitably suffer from a huge loss of EQ because hanging is an EQ killer. You can do multiple sets in one day of hanging, 2 days with multiple sets, 1 off, and repeat, would probably be the best thing if you're up for it.

Great attitude about the gains but you don't want to hit a plateau you know what I mean brah? I've found that doing 5 on 2 off is great in terms of gaining and whatnot but it affected my EQ too much because of all the hanging and stretching I did.
So you're already doing 8 3/4 lbs or you're going to?

Yeah i can see my EQ being effected also . I am doing 8 3/4 LBS.
I will try the 2 days on 1 day off approach next week. Hopefully it helps with EQ.

You can always go back to a basic jelqing/edging/kegeling routine to get your EQ back up where it belongs.

Yeah I hear you on the EQ, mine is raped from such a serious week of it, especially after doing 20 mins of 10lbs last night, but hell I loved the 10 lb tug that I got.. It felt so good to be standing and hanging again too.
Do you ever hang straight out or BTC?

Actually, Bib himself (of Bib Hangers) used to hang 6 hours a day. He recommends that you hang for at least 10 hours a week to see gains as well. The idea behind this, is as Militia says, to deform the tissues and not allow them to fully heal.

The thought is that if you give the tissues time to heal, they become stronger. But the fact is, they do not become stonger unless they have been deformed. So any guy who gains, when the collagenous tissues have a chance to heal, will become stronger. NOT giving the collagenous tissues a chance to heal makes it easier to further deform other collagenous tissues, fibres and make better gains.

Well that's the theory :)

Yeah its hard to make the time with work and life and having a girl friend Hanging every day, When your EQ is bad she is pissed."Oh it must be me , maybe you need some one younger"... "No its because i am hanging 10lb. weights from my shaft 7 days a week,.. Honest"

HAHAHHAA. Yea, I have had no problems luckily with EQ with the lady. Except for when we "make love" for an hour plus and she wants round II 20 minutes later. My EQ suffers then, but at the same time she cums and I don't have to at that point :D

can anyone tell me if you can wrap your balls and dick in the sock hanger and hang. or do you have to hangs from the gland this is very comfortable. I had to put my nuts in the sock and long with my dick and that was a very comfortable stretch. It was really stretching the sh*t out of my ligs while i was swinging the weight the whole time. but i think im going to start stretching it to the left for one set to the right one set and down 2 sets. Please can some hit me on the hanging becuase again its uncomfortable trying to hang by the head i need everything in the sock.
