IVEADREAM;691953 said:Does anybody else get the bruise look on the glans when they hang? Mine gets a little purple obviously when I hang because of the force of hanging which is to be expected but for rest of the day it stays a little bruised looking and I have one spot under the opening that stays that way most of the time. Just don't want to do anything that will F me up. I'm sure time off would allow it to go back to normal but I'm also sure it will come back when I start back up so if it's nothing to worry about I can deal with it.
doublelongdaddy;691968 said:Before strapping in are you squeezing the head to get out as much blood as possible? Too much blood left in the head can and will cause bruising. Always be sure to get as much blood as possible before hanging.
IVEADREAM;692069 said:Today I made a tough decision. With the slight bruising I talked about in the above post I decided to give it time to heal up a little bit. I had remind myself this is a marathon and not a race and felt it would be better to let this little hic up heal and then resume and when I say it was a tough decision trust me it was .
stillwantmore2;692326 said:All part of the journey man. Sometimes EQ drops from the nerves being stretched and recouping. Some bruising and skin abrasions here and there. It's all good.

I know it's easy to adjust to than the bib or MaleHanger but even a veteran needs to take the time to start slow with a new device to get used to the ins and outs of his setup plus each device attached differently and the soft tissues need time to fully adapt.
Ideally you should've stayed with 5 lbs for at least a week or two to accomplish the above and then gone up a pound or two per week. Any problems such as faulty wrapping, not tightening enough, not having the Hanger seeing perfect for you, etc at lighter weights will be compounded at heavier weights.
You seemed to jump up there way to fast. I haven't read all through this thread but I'm sure you ran into problems perhaps even numbing or injuries. Maybe your reaching a point where your tissues are more adjusted and now you're hitting fatigue. Are you hanging 40 min sets or 40 min total?

longstretch;692871 said:Have you gained yet?
IVEADREAM;692877 said:Well I technically haven't had an official measuring date yet. I knew when I started in October it was going to be a journey and was going to give myself time before I measured...........but I have a couple ways to give me an idea if I've made any gains or not. One being I know how long my toothbrush is (7 3/8") and If I get hard I'll compare. Well back in January the mood hit so I checked and I was at 7 1/4"nbp mark on the toothbrush. I started at 6 7/8"nbp in October so by that little test I gained 3/8" nbp. Now that being said it wasn't a great measurement but it gives me an idea I'm gaining. I don't think I've gained any more since then but that was around about the same time I started having some trouble so that might be why. I've said I was going to measure officially mid May after taking off a week while on vacation. So I have about another 3 weeks of hanging before I take my break. So we'll see.

Well as you can see I'm stuck on 24.5lbs for now. I'm not getting the comfortable feeling to move up in weight right now so I'll stick with this weight. By the fourth set I get really fatigued so I think I'm good for now.

6/5/16
4 sets 10 min each with 19.5lbs. It felt good to stretch again. No problems with this weight. Got a little fatigued at the end but still good.

Hung 4 sets 10 mins each with 19.5lbs.
I'm going to continue with this weight for a little while and try and take things a little slower this time but I'm wondering from anyone is there anything else I should be doing besides hanging? I've been wondering if maybe I should throw in a couple more sets in the evening when I can or if maybe I should start a girth routine in the evening or should i just stick with what I'm doing? I'm looking for any advice that might help.
doublelongdaddy;696126 said:Welcome back my Brother! So happy that you have lost some weight and got your head straight. I am also very proud that you have started PE again. Hanging is just fine but I would also include some parts of the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?64036-My-Best-Work-Ever-Penis-Enlargement-will-Be-Changed-Forever-gt-gt-Gain%20inches%20with%20SRT-Theory-and-Routine]SRT[/words] Routine to make it even more effective. For instance, it is general protocol now to do Bundled Stretches before every workout as I have found that this crew-stretches the Tunica and allows for better length and girth gains. There are also many other things that will help you perfect this routine.

stillwantmore2;696150 said:Ivea, some suggestions. First of all, please buy yourself a set of the fractional weight plates I suggested to you a while back. They come in 1/4lb, 1/2lb, 3/4lb and 1lb increments. I think you are a guy who would benefit from moving up in much smaller weight levels not to exceed 1lb at any given increase.
I want to suggest you go back to my how to guide and re read the suggested routine and how and when to move up in weight. The progressive hanging method I give an example of. Also, re watch the explanation videos, especially the Dave's Technique video. Use Dave's Technique along with the progressive method. Only move up in weight every two weeks. Again, don't exceed 1lb. Only move up in weight levels you can handle, even if it's "only" 1/4lb at a time.
Give these things a try along with the suggestions from DLD for 2-3 months.

One question tho (and this isn't a diss what so ever, i respect the hell out of you for getting back to it) if you been doing one thing and it hasn't been working, how can you expect a different outcome doing the same thing?
Also, maybe taking weekly or even daily measurements is a good idea, a lot of people do i because there is no worse feeling then putting months and months of hard work in for nothing.
If you start keeping track, you'll know when to add weight and push it a little.
Just my 2 cents. Good luck man, i wish you the best, great job on the dedication!

If you feel that I'm doing good on this routine and following the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?64036-My-Best-Work-Ever-Penis-Enlargement-will-Be-Changed-Forever-gt-gt-Gain%20inches%20with%20SRT-Theory-and-Routine]SRT[/words] correctly do you have any insight as to why I didn't gain the last 6 months of hanging. What am I missing. On all accounts I should've gained, shouldn't have I ?
