First off, rest in peace to the friend you lost, i've lost friends and family so I know the pain. Secondly congratulations on your gains, from what I can observe I feel like you lift weights because the way you manage your hanging is that of someone who works out namely know when to go up/down in weight and knowing when to rest. I never was a fan of extenders, I feel they do work and get you some solid gains but I just read to many reviews about discomfort and the long times you have to wear it.

I got a few questions, do you only hang? Have you only hung or was hanging your main method from the beginning? And what kind of weights do you use, conventional plates or something else?

I'm new to the PE game but im doing my homework and I also lift weights and run the park so I know about the mentality you need such as knowing when to rest and so forth, i'm buying the BIB Hanger in a few days although I intend to do conventional exercises to help ready my second head for the hanging, keep up the solid work, sh*t your motivating me so your doing something right

yeah i actually do lift weights. hanging is similar and very different at the same time. you really have to listen to your body and make sure you are pushing yourself but at the same time proceed with precaution. at the moment i only hang and wear a silicone sleeve to prevent turtling. the cheap extender i bought was just too uncomfortable and i didnt want to overtrain either. i would recommend that you begin by first doing manual work for atleast 6 months before investing in a hanger. you can make some easy gains in the beginning with just stretching. hanging is VERY intense and requires a bit of conditioning. as for the weights, i have little plates.

also i would like to stress time under tension to me is more important than progression in weight. for instance i would rather do 5 sets at 5 lbs vs 1 set at 10 lbs.

stevew89 in page 2 you wrote you reached BPEL of 7.75 why is your BPEL 7.5 in your signature? Did you lose that gain or have you forgot to update? By the way what is your measurements now?

i hit that measurement that one day and i havent really hit it consistently enough to assume that i am 7.75. i feel like if i put 7.75 down that it would be lying to myself.

Oh ok. What's your current measurement? Have you gained at all? And what PE did you do before hanging that you gained 0.5" from?
