I am new to the site but not to PE. Been doing PE two years and have seen 1-1/2” length increase and 3/4” girth increase (although I have never targeted girth as length is my only focus).
So, I started out and had a very slow start, three months and zero gains but then things finally got going and I saw decent newbie gains over the next six/eight months.
Since then tho, it has been a struggle. Almost a year of various routines and only 3/8” to show for it.
About two months ago I decided I would break down and commit to hanging.
Using a vac hanger, I established 10 lbs as a comfortable starting weight (after multiple months of assisted stretching, 10 pounds didn’t feel that heavy). The first month averaged about seven hours a week and only had two off days the first month.
The second month I added a split set and average about 9-1/2 hrs a week. All of my hanging has been extreme BTC, body horizontal, legs up, weight down.
My frustration came last night after hanging I popped in the vac cylinder for a quick pump before jumping on the Mrs and I was shocked to see my extension in the tube was SHORTER then it was before I started hanging.
That wasn’t really the time to get excited so this morning I wake up, jump in the shower, manual stretch for 10 min after drying off, and then check my BPFSL and sure as shit, it is 1/8” shorter.
I am really ticked about this right now. I know I have read about guys saying hanging didn’t work for them but I always chalked that up to them not being consistent or hanging too light of weights. Neither is true for me yet I am going the wrong way...
Thought? Questions? Advice?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your all’s replies.
