*****CHANGE OF PLAN*****
I have been thinking a bit and I decided that Im gonna stop
hanging. At least for now. I always get interrupted or I am forced to make the sessions shorter because of the lack of time/privacy. As I am looking at my log, it is pretty inconsistent and progressive overload, which is the main principle of
hanging, is quite difficult for me to reach.
People also say that one should hang every single day, at least 1 light set, so that the penis tissue stays in the "broken" state and is always at least a bit fatigued when training it the next time. But sometimes Im forced to just take full days off and Im afraid it will just make my penis heal stronger and then I will need to use heavier
weights (which I dont have right now...and not for the next couple of months).
Also I read a great article about the comparison of
Hanging vs Extending. Basically, one of the main points of this article was that you can transition from extending to
hanging BUT you cannot transition from
hanging to extending (or at least it would be very difficult..because of the much more intense nature of
hanging).
Then I thought that as of right now, Im not even able to hang consistently to get that progressive overload PLUS in general, there is this very mixed guidance regarding
hanging. Some people say light
weights and longer sessions, some people say short sessions and very heavy
weights, some people hang every day, some take rest days, also the routine structure looks different for everyone. To be honest, Im a bit afraid to progress into
hanging huge amounts of
weight from my penis if I am not even sure that it will make me gain.
Especially, when I think about it, there is nothing else after
hanging. Nothing more intense. If I dont get my length with
hanging then what should I do? Because if I would get to a point that I would hang 50 lbs, it would certainly make no sense to go to extending suddenly, since the forces would be incomparably lighter. Also my penis would be probably so strong and tough that literally nothing could extend it, except those 50 lbs. And even those heavy
weights are not a guarantee to a longer penis (even you, DLD, said that you didnt gain that much
hanging and you was
hanging heavy).
SO my plan now is to buy an extender, because I feel like a more gentle but constant tension is the way to go, at least for me. Also, many of them are clinically tested (even adviced by doctors) and everyone who did it the right way got some gains. Another thing I like about extending is the fact that it is pretty straight forward. You just put it on and wear it for some time. No need to always think about the amount of
weight like in
hanging.
However, I cant buy an extender now, probably around October I will. So until then I will just do manual work
SRT style. After all, DLD gained mainly through manual work and as far as I remember, me too basically, because before this
hanging thing I have always been doing just manual work.
So I want to squeeze out as much as possible from manual work in the next 4 months and then buy an extender and wear it for the 6-12 months or so. And THEN maybe I will get back into
hanging as the LAST resort.
