Heat has never been proven to actually improve gains. If you feel you want to use it though, and it feels good to you, go for it.
 
Heat will definitely help relax all tissue and surrounding muscles allowing for an easier stretch and in turn this should bring faster gains. I would keep a very good account of your work so we have more concrete evidence on the effectiveness. Many have talked about heat therapy and many have started to use it and keep a log, but no one went long enough to show results. I did use a heating pad for the first 2 years of my training. I would use it every day for every bit of time I was not training. This amounted to about 8 hours a day using the heating pad. This helped me heal in a elongated and expanded state as the heat really relaxed the tissue for the entire day. Did this help me gain? I think it did as I was gaining faster than anyone ever had gained. I did not keep record of this, which I wish I did, but from my own experience I believe it had some impact on my gains.

hanger or bib hardcore? cant decide

Well, I designed hanger as an improved version of the BIB 'hardcore'. It's a stronger, better quality device with better instructions and customer support than a BIB. Oh and it costs less too.

If you buy a BIB hanger you get very vague instructions with no details. You HAVE to join his support forum and get guidance from him there. That's why his forum is so "busy" compared to mine. My support forum is simply a place to host my how to guide which includes detailed instructions with step by step pictures as well as step by step videos. If something is still not quite clear after all that, you can email me for further help and I'll happily do what I can to help. BIB on the other hand is a cranky old man who comes off very irritated when guys ask for help.

Got this from you know were

Hanging 101 + Sample Routine Post #1

1. This can not be emphasized enough -- pain is BAD!!! If it's anything beyond a dull burn, you're doing something wrong.

2. Never hang erect or partially erect!

3. Before hanging, remember to warm-up the area with a hot rice sock, heating pad or hot towel.

4. Limit sets to 20 minutes, followed by a 10 minute break and at least a couple of minutes of light jelqing to restore circulation.

5. Pay close attention to the color/temperature of your glans. Dark/cold=bad.

6. Remember to squeeze the blood from the glans while you're attaching your hanger.

7. Start your Thera-Band/swimcap material back a quarter of an inch from the beginning of your cotton wrap.

8. Retighten hanger after weight is applied.

9. Hanging is not a weight lifting competition. Too much, too soon will do more to slow down your overall gains than too little will. Start with a pound or two and move up very, very gradually, adding a pound or two after each week of hanging. Below is a copy of ledzep's beginning hanging record as an example.



Month 1 -- 5 pounds -- 5 days per week -- 45 minutes per day


Month 2 -- 7 pounds -- 5 days per week -- 45 minutes per day


Month 3 -- 10 pounds -- 5 days per week -- 60 minutes per day


Month 4 -- 12.5/15 pounds - 5/6 days per week -- 60 minutes per day
I'm at months 3

I have been hanging by my balls for some time and and really enjoy it . Using a hook in my ceiling and my leather ball harness, I hang my entire weight (180 lbs) I have noticable stretch and will increase my time to 5 minutes

Create a video instruction of this. Otherwise we will not believe you. 180 lbs that's ~82 kilogram, this is a force of: 804.42 Newtons.

70 was my max when I was hanging
 
Very fucking heavy but no gains
That was depressing. But you solved it I presume? Was this before creating the LengthMaster, and before discovering bundled stretches?
