Using Bib Starter as Stretching Device

Update: I had been using my hanger incorrectly and that is what was causing my skin irritation. I adjusted the lower screws as per Bib's instructions in this thread:

I also started doing a 5 minute hot-wrap with a hot, wet wash cloth before my first set and for 5 minutes immediately after each additional set. This has helped tremendously.

Glad to hear that your hangs are going better.
 
Thanks, HOOSYODADDI. I tried the BTC thing but I can't get everything adjusted properly with my hanger and scale so I'm just stretching at a more downward angle than I was. Now that I've got my hanger set it should help. I'll measure again on 3/28/05. If I don't gain anything by then I'll find a way to make the BTC work.

Sounds like a plan. In the meantime, go buy some cheap weights, a 6" or 8" long eyebolt and two different size washers. When you are ready, you can use those materials to BTC hang. The eyebolt and washers can be purchased at Home Depot, etc. For the weights, I'd buy them in 2lb or 2.5lb increments.

Cheers,

HOOS
 
Update: Due to time constraints, I am changing my routine to Dash's hardcore routine where he hangs 1-20 minute set as heavy as possible without injury per night, 6 nights a week. I'll be hanging 7 nights a week but I might do 2 sets per night instead of just one. Last night I did one 20 minute set at 25 pounds and felt no fatigue so I may be moving up in weight fairly soon. I'm still using the same setup as in previous posts in this thread. I'll keep this updated and I'll measure again on 3/28.

The grip cord method didn't work for me so I went back to the Bib Starter and finally got it adjusted correctly. I'm going to start stretching again with it and tonight I did 4 sets, 20 minutes each, at 13 pounds. I'm going to measure my BPenis EnlargementL and EGMS in a few minutes and consider that measurement my starting measurement since I've been hanging incorrectly for the past 5 months. I'm also going to erase the measurements in my sig because I believe that they do not accurately reflect what can be gained by hanging and I was doing it wrong anyway. I consider 4/25/05 to be my starting date.
 
6/25/05: I have made my first decent gains and I hope to keep improving from here. I gained 3/16" in length from 4/25-6/25 and to say the least, I am really pumped!!

I have been hanging one 20 minute set straight out and one 20 minute set straight down every day, 7 days a week but I started the straight down set about 2 weeks ago. As of today I'm at 15 pounds per set but I've been moving up 1 pound per week. I'll start with 16 pounds per set on Monday. I'll post gains again on 8/25/05.
 
Gomer,

With all the trouble you have been through, that really sounds great to me. Dedication does pay off.

Congratulations,

Bigger
 
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I haven't gained at all from 6/25-8/25 so its time to step up the intensity. I had been hanging 2-20 minute sets at 25 pounds almost every day but I started to get lazy and not do it every day.

I've decided to start doing a little less weight and MUCH more time instead, like SWM did to gain his 3/4" length in 3 months. I'm going to be using 20 pounds per set and I will try to hang for 3 hours per day. Its apparent to me now that I have "ligs of steel" so I'm going to have to stretch those bastards until they decide to give in. I'm a little discouraged but I know that I can do it if I put more effort into it so that is what I'll do.
 
I finally got my hanger adjusted correctly...for real this time. I had to adjust the bottom hex nuts all the way in and the grip is absolutely amazing now with ZERO slippage, even after a 20 minute set. I have also decided to try a new technique based on my newfound comfort during my sets.

Starting on 10/23/05 I began hanging for 2 hours per day at 18 pounds per 20 minute set. I will start increasing the weight at a rate of 1 pound per week so I guess this is partly like Dashdeming's hardcore hanging, but with 6 20 minute sets instead of 1 or 2. I will be hanging straight out and I will measure again on 11/25/05. I know I've got it right this time so I hope to post gains on that date.
