BigO's Progress Log

[thenewdude]

Props for the gains as always. I have been wanting to try hanging but getting past 8 is just too much for the wife. Right now I still do stretches but not as much because I traction wrap three days a week for length which surprisingly does work (how the mind can think up the dangest things to get results).

 

[BigO]

I should really be traction wrapping and i think your post just gave me some inspiration. I will start tomorrow. Thanks for the info Newdude

Well, when I was thinking about hanging a while back, the issue that I came across was a way to control the pubic region from stretching too (unless I create some kind of underwear which would prevent it holding it steady). Now the x4 does this but the bottom piece pressed against the pubic region only allowing the stretch on the shaft. The traction wrapping technique applies the same idea as the x4 but it is more secure and will not slip off so you can wear it all day if you want because the overlapping ace banding give it the support for that. Bear in mind, it is not for everyone, just like I don't do the pump because it is not for me but if it works, then do it and get them result, bro.

Well today I was hell bent on fixing my wrapping issues nd I learned something. I found that just because someting didnt work well for me in the beginning doesnt mean it wont work later. I had tries some sweat shirt material for wrap early on and found that I did not like it, in hindsight I think i didnt have wrapping down very well at all. I went to Chamois cloth and it worked better at the time and so I just assumed it was superior. It may be for some and at lower weights it was good. When I got uop to about 12-15 lbs I started having issues. today I tried some sweat shirt again and to my surprisi I found with a bit of changing to how I wrap I was able to blast through my sets with absolutely no problems and I believe that I could have done sets of 15 with no problems but I am going to go with 12 tomorrow. It pays to re-read already read articles once in a while. I was able to hang 6 straight sets and didnt even have to remove my wrap, what a fucking relief.

Today I started with the warm up with the rice sock for 20 minutes.

Hanging:
20 minutes @ 11 lbs
15 minutes @ 11 lbs
20 minutes @ 11 lbs
15 minutes @ 11 lbs
20 minutes @ 11 lbs
20 minutes @ 11 lbs
10 minutes @ 11 lbs, wanted an even 2 hours due to experimenting with wrap during the sets.

100 side to side stretches

Stayed wrapped for an extra 1 1/2 hours for traction.

Great work out. I can easily hang more so tomorrow I go to 12, a week or so ago I was up to 15 and thats when the wrap was causing the issues. I may start out with a 15 lb set and see how I am since it wasnt long ago. I dont even feel like I worked it at all and the end of my 7th set was as easy as the first.

Sounds like a breakthrough mate!! I agree re-reading articles is awesome, you can miss alot the first time keep it up broski!!

 

[BigO]

Thanks for stopping by, I always go back and read the articles that cover the basics. It keeps me somewaht on course. thanks for stopping by Gymboi

 

[thenewdude]

Wow, I never thought that you would do the wrapping for hanging too. I didn't think it would support much weight but right on. I just leave it on every other day for length support and growth like a jimmied extender. Cool, I might have to try that. Thanks for the idea.

 

[BigO]

Hey Newdude, thanks for stopping by. I always wrap when hanging. Most do, it would kill the skin if I didnt but that wrap is a bit different then traction wrapping, you have to wrap an inch or so behind the glans. I wrapped the whole shaft after words to stay extended and it was good. I had done it before but when I had read your comment on it I realized thet I had been lax in my efforts with wrapping, after all it takes a minute to get a good wrap on so i am going to be wrapping from now on, I am glad you brought it back to the fore fromt of my beady little brain.

Warmed up for 20 minutes with my cock hungry rice sock, I think he likes my dick. he was on it for 20 more minutes today, maybe the sock is a she-sock. I never thought about that before. My socks a fricken cock crazed whore.

Hanging:
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 10 lbs

Easy today, Breezed through the first three at 12, fatigued out with about 2 minutes left in the 4th set, same as yesterday so I think I am good with the weight.

 

[Raider]

I'm still only at 2.5 lbs pimp haha not in any hurry though. Are you mostly hanging straight down?

 

[BigO]

Yes, I went down in weight and up in sets. I am hanging SD and will start hanging SD and SO in Feb. I think I am btter to try and get at least 5 set per day so I have done sets sitting and standing so far. Hope your enjoying your hanging so far

 

[Raider]

I am enjoying it very much. However, I do not like standing for 20 minutes 3 times in a row after a few hours of lifting and basketball. Gotta love that BTC!

 

[BigO]

Yep, I guess without thinking about it I have been doing BTC from the start or at least mostly sitting, true BTC is sitting back in the chair and you can really raise the stress with light weight that way. I am usuall just sitting up right. The 1st of Feb is my one year mark and then I will move to three sets SO or SU and keep one or two SD. I will; measure then as well. i dont know if I have gained alot from hanging yet but I am sure it will come if I stay with it. This i where the dedication is going to pay, 2012 I will gain an inch. I promise!

Today I started with the sock for 20 minutes.

20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs
20 minutes @ 12 lbs

Had to do a rewarm and fire goat roll after the first set and I was surprised how much it helped my skin, I was also surprised at how much my penis looked like I slammed it in a door after the first set. thankfully the goat roll and heating worked wonders. By the time I was done with the last set I looked better than after the first set. Weird stuff up in here.

I took yesterday off due to applications and interviews and I think I may have a new job, still getting bonded and insured anyways.

I have accumulate 10 hours and 40 minutes over 7 days. Two weeks in arow passing the 10 hour mark, oh yeah.

 

[Raider]

How long did you wait to go up in weight? I'm doing my first day of 4 sets of hanging tomorrow but I'm not sure how long I should stay at 2.5 lbs for.
