Hanging Time vs. Hanging Intensity

I'm just curious as to what different people's experiences are concerning time vs. intensity when hanging......low weight, and longer hang times, vs. heavy weight and shorter hang times.

Also, has anyone has anyone who has tried both, and either not responded at all to one, or switched it up, (as sort of a plateau buster), and had really good responses


Another semi related question.........as far as jelquing goes,......any ideas on a lot of volume/reps once per day vs. equal or less reps spread out over the course of the day,......say 3 times a day.

i find when i use the heaviest weight possible so that i can hang for 2 x 45/1 hour sessions gives me the best stretch. e.g i was hanging 6kg for 2x 1 hour, but today i swithched to 2x 45 mins at 7kg, i fatigue quite nicely with an am and pm session... my advice would be to jelq after hanging (making twice a day)

EVO,

Do you use an ADS,..... any concerns about "turtling" as your body's reaction to the heavier weights, acting in almost a protective mechanism,......or does your experience with hanging let your body be acustomed to the heavier weights without reacting in a negative type retraction/protective phase.

Weight does not cause the turtle, the attachment and means of hanging the weight causes the turtle E.G., pain. I am with EVO, I can hang 5-7 pounds all day and get a decent strecth, but I get the best pull around 15 pounds, fatigue is always more intense. If your penile tissue limits are deformed at 5 pounds then so be it, but once you get all the gains from the 5 pounds, it's time to increase. Time will not do much for you.

Breakdown:

Examples...
~Hanging 5 pounds for 1 hour is more productive than 5 x 20 min. sets.

~Hanging 10 pounds for 1 hour increases gain probability vs. 5 pounds for 2 hours ect. In other words, 10 pounds is 10 pounds and 5 pounds is 5 pounds no matter what time it is LOL.

~My philosophy, hang a long as you can at a weight that is productive for you. This is dependent upon your tissues limits. For example, ligs are tough 5pounds may not even touch their tensile strength. Starting at 3-5 pounds may not produce gains, but paves the road for future productive hanging.
You will see more of an effect from hanging 3-5 pounds for multi-hours than shorter sessions at the same weight.

So you would agree to hang a heavier amount of weight for that hour vs. less for maybe 2x that period ex. 10lbs for 1 hour vs. 5lbs for 2 hours.
What about if your only doing 20 min. sets, I would think one should do as much weight as possible. I only do 2 20 min sets, but thats dam near 40 mins. of stretching. At this piont the tissues will deform, I do think that time with less weight of an ads is crucial and that will count as hanging time, allowing for optimal growth, if not that force that was exerted does retract, only natural.

Weight should be a "good pull" If your doing 20 minute sets, I would use whatever MaX weight is tolerable with your device (also, in your conditioning range). If it's too much and cases pain it will be worthless, and I'd kick back the weight. I think ADS and the such is more important after "brutal" hangs becasue the way your penis reacts after a set. With the proper hanging equipment, I feel there is a less need for ADS afterwords. This is determeined by the way your penis hangs after a session. regardless, I am all for stretching, hanging, and ads. There all beneficial in one way or another.

Good stuff!

Yes definatly good educational stuff here.

BTC just curious, what where your newbie gains, how long did it b/f you hit the plateau period, and was hanging included at any time during your newbie gain phase, or was it more of a focused girth based thing.

I have another comparsion question as well. I realize that everyone is different, but it seems to me as if most guys get more decent gains in the flacid hang compartment as opposed to increased gains in erect length. Are there any rough, ball park estimate to go by, when determining increase in flacid hang vs. increase in erect length. Ie; if one were to gain 3/4 of an inch in his flacid length in a year, could he expect, say,....at least half of that,.....3/8 of an inch in erect length gains?

It would make sense to me that hanging as much weight as comfortably possible for as long as possible would produce the best gains. Just look at body builders. They don't stay at the same weight and time for very long before lifting heavier and working out longer. Staying with something sounds good for maintenance, but not for continued gains. If you can take 15 pounds for 2 hours and you're not seeing gains or feeling fatigued, increase one or both until you do.

This exact subject came up at MyNewSize Forum. I go into some detail of the different effects of time and weight. Some good information here...

It's best to hang light (3-5 pounds) if you are new to hanging. You must limit your session time when you add a hanging routine to your Penis Enlargement arsenal. You want this to be a successful career, not a fly by night proposition.

The answer is a little more complicated than the question, hanging time vs weight. Some men don't realize gains until 12+ pounds, but every individual comes with different tissue deformation variables.

You will notice that hanging 3-5 pounds for x amount of time equals x level of fatigue. If you were to jump to 15 pounds even after hanging 3-5 pounds for several months, you would most likely find this intolerable. Why is this? Because the tissues that deform at the 1-14 pound level, carry a lower level of resistance than the tissues that deform at 15 pounds.

We get into topics such as tissue deformation, ligament structure and tensile strength vs penile position. To simplify, 3-5 pounds is 3-5 pounds, 15 pounds is 15 pounds. This is a constant. They will have a direct effect across the tissues that are subjected to traction. Time exposure to this weight does play a role, but is secondary to the constant.

There are three distinct occurrences of penis lengthening:

1: Repositioning of the penis via traction. This repositioning is a result of stretching the penile anchoring systems which allow the "inner penis" to protrude further outside the body. In my experience, this is almost always a result of weights between 12-20 pounds. More directly, microscopic tears occur on the ligament structures, thus, lengthening the structure.

2: Secondarily, cellular division occurs within the human body when an appendage is subjected to force, E.G., traction. This can occur at lighter weights. In my experience, 1-7 pounds is efficient to achieve this effect. Also, this lighter traction provides ligament tears additional cells to assist "repair" in the extended state.

3: Lastly, tissue deformation of the penile bodies. This is a direct effect of continuous training. Over time, traction will begin to break down the tunica the 'housing" of the corporas. This will have an effect on both length and girth of the penis. If the outer structures of the penis are deformed past their limit, greater expansion is possible within the penis. With greater expansion capability, the penis will allow for more blood capacity during erection and the result is a longer, thicker penis.

In conclusion, all of these are important to penis growth. Having one without the other would be less productive for achieving gains.

I find it weird that ppl can't hang with 15lbs. I have only hung around 10times and I hang 10+lbs all the time without any trouble and that's without any real Penis Enlargementing before hand. I also do it with the captains wench. However, anything more than 15lbs I get some crazy slippage from the device so i'm thinking about trying the sticky insole idea that I heard about

I think it's similiar to weight training

The more weight you have the less reps and time under tension you need

So the more weight you hang, you should cut back on time. If your hanging a certain weight for 20+ minutes, i think your wasting your time and you should increase the weight so you can only hang for less time. I'm new to hanging and this IMO but it makes sense to me as i relate it to working out
Heavy weight builds muscle as light weights dont

So if i can hang 15lbs for an hour, i'd rather hang 25 for a 1/2 and you'll get the same result in less time.

I have found good success with a heavy hang over a short period of time (20+ pounds x 20-30 minutes) with a lot of swinging and rotation. Then (this is the key) take off the weight and anchor a strap to a door handle or a fixed object and hook on to your hanging device hook, and lean back (straight out hang) using your body weight to put as much maximum force on the ligs as you can. Two or three, one minute maximum stretches. For variety you can step over the strap and add some BTC stretches using your body weight.

I flacid stretch measure immediately after the hanging session, and I find I get an extra 1/4 inch in measurement after adding this element into the session.

I finish with a moderate jelqing session.
