No gains hanging, next steps?

[Brian]

I use 50% of my hang time using BTC and the other 50% SD. BTC is somewhat uncomfortable but not creating a sharp pain because it is giving me a nice strong pull. My ligs are nice and tight which means my hanger, is working right. Try using the BTC angle and making sure your hanger is tight. You have to feel it pulling your inner penis a little.

Also, how long did you hang at 2 pounds?? I'm on day 26 and just increased to 2.5 pounds. I do six 20-minute sets a day, 3 every 12 hours, no off days although I may take an occasional light day unless my PI's indicate I need to do otherwise. I am going as intense and aggressive as I can while staying within the confides of the essential rules like going low and slow, never over training though. This is what I know has worked for others like Bib.

But the skin pain I feel is really pinching, pressure around my balls from the hanger pressing against it, not the penis skin itself. I fatigue from sitting on my ass bones, since I have to sit forward so much on my chair, so with no back support, my butt and back are the most fatigued :-(

This one hit. I think anyone who's hung BTC for a while knows back problems are pretty much inevitable unless (and even still sometimes when) you get some kind of padding/pillowing/special chair setup.

There was a cool thread on the bib forum about this where the guy basically got a large, sturdy, reclinable lawn chair that was sufficiently above ground which he cut a hole into. I may do something like this at some point, because after years of hanging there's just no way for me to hang in an office chair in a comfortable way for 3 hours a day. I do a few BTC sets, but all day is murder on my back/butt so I gotta stand for a lot of it.
