Hanger always slips off

Be sure you're applying the hanger with the idea the tissue to take the weight is in front of the conical portion. As the weight is applied the hanger will move forward and the tissue will bunch. The conical shape allows the tissue to take a funnel shape thereby stopping the hanger from moving any farther forward.

It's ok if your wrap slips. The wrap is only to provide cushion between the hanger and your skin. It serves no other role. If the hanger is slipping keep trying to find that spot where it performs as I just described.

Usually the spot is about 1 inch behind the glans. Therefore your T-band should start about 1/2 inch behind the glans and barber-pole wrap toward the base to protect the entire area the hanger will contact.

I think i just need to get a 1.5" clamp since bending it gave a better grip. plus i'll be able to use less wrap which would allow it to grab more of my penis and less ace wrap

I strongly advise against ACE wrap. It is inherently a cushion and it will collapse and become abrasive.

Theraband is ideal since it will not malform and it will not dig into the skin on the micro level. Anything fabric will since it's essentially stitched fibers woven as a matrix. This will act like drywall sandpaper screen on your skin. Most issues don't surface until the higher weights, but they are problems waiting to happen. It's better to start with the right stuff.

the band i got is so slick, i feel like even with a tight grip it'll be prone to slip off

Wash the T-band with dish soap whenever it gets slick feeling. This will make it tacky. However, it's very important to remember the T-band is only there to buffer your skin from the clamp.

If you're slipping, it's not the T-band's fault. It's the grip. Too many guys think the wrap is supposed to do the job of holding things in this sort of order: hanger-wrap-skin-internals. Really what you need for the higher weights is: hanger-internals. The wrap only protects the skin.

I have hung countless sets with the wrap so loose it slips. I prefer it that way. You'll know when you have the proper grip when you can hang with loose wrap. Remember that you want the internals to "bunch up" into the conical portion of the front of the hanger. This dam of internal tissue is what holds the weight. If T-band is holding the weight then that means the skin is holding that weight. All you'll get is skin stretch and soreness and eventually skin-break. It'll work up to about 10 lbs but you will never be able to hang a significant number of sets above that weight.

i see...i guess i just haven't felt that grip like i'm supposed to. i'm going to try to find some other method of making a homemade hanger. i feel like if i could get hanging down pact i'll see the gains i've been wanting for the last 3 years

Hanging definitely works but you must be diligent and unrushed. Build up slowly in weight: 1 lb a week. It won't be long before you're at the weight needed to lengthen. But if you rush you end up either untrained for higher weights or simply injured.

I always tried to get in nine 20-minute sets a day. Starting with my highest weight and then knocking off 5% to 10% each set until I got to about 60% of the starting weight. Don't try to hang your highest weight more than once in a day. That weight is most likely to cause injury.

Another thing about grip: your glans should not be inflated like a balloon. It should never be under pressure if you're gripping properly. (Granted you do need to squeeze it before tightening the hanger, but after that it shouldn't inflate or be pressurized.)

i've been doing pe off and on for like 2 or 3 years, so i figured i'd start at 5 lbs. i tried 10 lbs and it wasn't uncomfortable at all for the time i got it to hold. i was planning on using Dashdeming's routine where he hung heavy for shorter amounts of time. something tells me that's what i need to do to gain, but of course i've got to work my way up before i can think about going heavy.

Be careful with Dash's routine. It can cause injury fast! I tried it a few years ago and it definitely worked, but I got very concerned about darkening. It seems to do that in a hurry.

yea i used to do a lot of clamping and that taught me a lot about my penis and when to take a break. i'll definitely be careful with it if i can ever figure out a hanger that works (that's not $135)

I think the Hard Core Bib is about $70. Only the bigger Bib is $135 (I think). I never could dial-in those bigger padded ones.
