Hanging 101

[not2big]

One of the other long time posters on the site uses the golf weights, Sayan (my spelling may be off).

I found some posts by saiyan22 with a 9+" dick who mentioned adding Monty's peweights to his routine. Seems like a good recommendation to me. Saiyan, however, has done extensive research into stretching techniques and has developed a very sophisticated routine based on his research.

Golf Swing Weights = ADS
Yes, I'm familiar with Monty's PE weights. They are very similar to golf swing weights. These golf weights are worthless for hanging (they are too light). If you're going to use them for ADS purposes, that's different. However...

ADS = Inferior to Split Sets
I talked to Bib about this... & I have put my own thought into it, & I agree with Bib. ADS Devices are inferior to doing split sets. So I advise split sets for hangers.

Not ready, yet, for serious hanging. Just want to get a feel for hanging a weight from my shaft and a golf weight just seemed like an easy, inexpensive way to get started. I also want to use it under my cloths. I found regular golf weights on line for $7.50, including shipping. I will use it as an ADS to compliment my extender. As mentioned elswhere, true hanging and an extender should not be combined.

If you just want a simple ADS, I recommend this device:
Cheap ADS: Stealth ADS ESL40 (Ebay)

It's cheaper than golf swing weights. Unless you've got really thick flaccid girth, golf weights are an annoyance. I spent about $15 on 3x golf swing weights (including shipping), but I was disappointed. If I had to choose all over again, I would get this device here. At worst, you're only out about $10.

You could safely combine this device with hanging, but I still believe split sets are superior. If you have no privacy though, this could help you optimize gains by helping you heal more elongated / avoid turtling. The same thread (link above) has another much more expensive ADS option (about $45).

I've been trying this homemade hanger with shoelaces, a sock, and a gallon of milk. I try to tie around the base but the weight of the water is pulling it down and it sometimes end up falling off or is closer to the glands instead of the base. Sometimes it works nicely and is hung from the center of the shaft. Any ideas of how to make it more stable, because I feel like I can lift more weight pretty easily, but it hurts to lift it from the glands obviously and I don't want to damage it.

I'm not trying to spend any money through the internet and really want to get this homemade hanger working.

1. You do not mention how you are wrapping prior to putting on the sock hanger. That could be the problem.

2. Recall from grade school 'a pint's a pound the world around'. A one gallon milk jug weights slightly more than 8 lbs if it is full. That is too much weight to start with. If you are using water in a jug start with five cups, 2.5 lb and work up from that point to a full gallon, about a pint a week. Sock hanger is a bit dicey once you get past five lb.

1. I'm just doubling up the opening of the sock, putting it around it and tying it with a shoelace at the base. I'm new to hanging.. what else kind of wrapping should I be doing. I'm not feeling any pain, its just having trouble staying on.

2. I'm only using roughly 2/5 of the milk gallon, definitely not the whole thing although I might want to work my way up. I guess I should just stick with less weight, although when I exercise any part of my body I usually do a great amount of weight over a short amount of time vs low weight for more time. I don't think I'm at 5 pounds yet.

1. You need to wrap your friend first, ace bandage, what a grip etc. Read Blink's post on hanging in particular the wrapping part. If you don't wrap, you will keep having the same experience, that is the sock will pull off taking some skin as it does so.
2. That should be about right to start with, but this is no weight training and you need to change your mind set. Your are deforming tissue here, not building muscle.

Hopefully you have gone through the beginners routine before attempting hanging.

I've been PEing for around 2 to 2.5 years starting out with an extender (SizeGenetics) and then just doing manual PE exercises like jelqs, streches, and kegels. I gained around an inch in length from 7.5 to 8.5 BPEL the first year and half and then the last year I've been mostly concentrating on girth. I've been finding it hard to gain length and have gained basically no length in the last year (nice girth gains though). This is where I'm hoping HANGING will help. So I've done PE that long basically 5 out of 7 days of the week.

Wrapping has helped a lot; I went out to the store and bought Johnson and Johnson Hurt Free Wrap and it reduces the slippage to almost none. As far as weight goes, I will take your advise and do them daily with small amount of weight working up every week.

One thing I'm confused about is this statement on the primer:

"Choose a Primary & Secondary Angle of Attack:
All hangers should begin by targeting their suspensory ligaments. There are two reasons for this:
1-the ligaments are more susceptible to deformation than the Tunica (easier gains)
2-the Tunica gains cannot be successfully maximized until the ligaments are fully deformed.
In order to target your ligaments, use any low angle such as BTC, SD. One you have maximized ligament deformation and you are ready to target your Tunica, you may need to change your angle or start using fulcrums to continue making gains. The RSDT is an excellent example of a powerful fulcrum that can create fatigue all the way down your shaft."

How can I make sure I'm targeting my ligaments and not the tunica. And as far as the angles go, I'm pretty much just hanging downward while standing up. I'm not sure what this angle is called, but will this target the ligaments? I really can't see any other angle I can try while standing up anyway, and I can't sit down because there are no chairs high enough to where the milk cartoon won't hit the ground.

Thanks

Tom Hubbard's AFB hanger

Tom Hubbard's AFB hanger

Topcock: Your solution is Tom Hubbard's AFB hanger.

You aboslutely can't make a hanger cheaper than that, trust me. And I've seen pictures of a guy hanging 30lbs with the AFB hanger.

Google it.

Maybe I'll add an article on the subject....

Haha it looks crazy with the dude having 30 pounds hanging from his junk. This might be something to look into after I fill up my milk gallon. As far as these different angles go will I stretch the ligaments (rather than the tunica) by hanging straight down standing up.

Whether you're standing or sitting, it targets the same anatomy.

Great thread!

Great thread!

Thank you! By the way, I just added some advice for uncut guys (it appears right after hanging 101, in a post below it)

Wrapping & Attachment Point Advice for Uncut Guys
(Penis Weight Hanging Advice)​

Source: Hanging Advice for Uncut Guys

"I am uncut too and having a hell of a time. I am new to hanging, but have been using informal manual techniques for years. I made up my own hanger based on Tom Hubbards concepts recently. I apply a significant amount of pressure to prevent "roll-off" and limit myself to 10 minute sets because of circulation loss. I tighten my hanger down hard, more so than I think is recommended. I have noticed a few things that might be helpful to those of you having issues with foreskin:

1> we have been taught to apply the hanger 1.25" behind the glans. I agree with this, but in my case I must apply the hanger 2" or more inches back to start. It rolls toward the head (glans) as weight is applied and stops, hopefully, short of the head (glans) in just the right place. As our skins are apt to elasticity, we have to account for it when mounting and hanging.

2> uncut guys have about 2"+ of extra skin. Most of this skin is free to slide on the shaft, but toward the head (glans) it becomes attached to the innards. I call this spot the foreskin-hinge. If the skin on the outside slides too far south in a hang session tension is put on this hinge causing serious stinging. This comes from the weight tearing the skin away from where it becomes fixed. This would be like taking your upper lip and trying to wrap it around your forehead. Tears at the gum line. STOP. THIS IS BAD. Take it off and start over.

3> Squeezing the head right before tightening down helps, but I find a little more blood in the head acts as a barrier to keep the hanger on longer. The operative word here is little. This takes some patience and practice to get right.

4> I tend to tighten down on the clamp in the first 10 seconds or so to stop any slide if it is happening. In a last attempt I take it all off and start over. This is my best weapon against preventing slide off. I think uncut guys need a tighter bind with the hanger than cut men. This is the reason we use shorter hang times and have more frequent, short sets."

Try hanging 5 sets then move to 10 sets then once you add weight try 5 sets to 10 sets. 5 sets for 4 days then 10 sets for the last 3 days of a week. If you put your unit at constant fatigue and you continously shock your tissues it has no logic not to stretch. Hopefully this informative information helps

Never add more than 1 set per week, or 1-2lbs per week. If you're doing under 10lbs, then I would say don't add more than 1lb per week to your maximum weight.

The key is being consistent. I wouldn't recommend doing more sets than your conditioned for, this will put you at high risk for an injury.

Which hanger do you recommend most?

Which hanger do you recommend most?

It's really a matter of personal preference (traditional vs vac hanging--see Hanging 101). At this point in time the "Bib Hanger" is by far the best traditional hanging device. If you're sure you want to hang & you're sure you want to use a traditional hanger, this is what I recommend.

Restore Blood flow: Always Jelq After Sessions 10-20

Always remember to jelq for 10-20 minutes after a session, with fair wood, but not with great intensity. You want complete restoration of blood flow. This will also allow the urethra to recover, and allow for normal urination.

There are other health benefits to Jelqing, including plaque removal from veins.

I recommend that any serious hanger read this guide here:
https://www.pegym.com/forums/penis-devices-forum/16506-blink2000s-hanging-tips.html

It's full of advice like the above... including answers to questions I couldn't find elsewhere on obscure subjects like swinging weight, how many guys bib has seen gain 4"+ (check "gains" towards the end) and a lot of other subjects you'll most likely find very interesting.

This advice was in hanging 101, but I didn't specify an amount of time. Anyway, as I find useful details like this, I'll add them to the guide to help make it as specific & practical as possible.
