My routine is
5 min tunica warm up
__________ stretch 1:30 min to the left once and the right
5 min expressive stretch
5 min erect
Dld length blasters
Than 30 min hanging, but i lowered it to 20 min due to comftorabiliry and time management.
Will this effect my gains big time?
 
20 mins of hanging is plenty if you hang heavy, but you have to be honest with yourself and do push it a little bit. It should not be a walk in the park when you hit those 5 last mins you should be desperate to take it off. Proceed with caution and increase the weight slowly as you get accustomed to it. Keep in mind theres many ways to hang some people advocate low weight and long periods of time and others prefer high weight short periods of time. I prefer the second, and good results can be achieved doing so. It is not for the faint of heart and definitely not for people who are overzealous.

Be careful! And dont forget to wrap up with an Ace Bandage after hanging for an hour or two.
 
well for example in my physical training the general rule of thumb in order to build muscle is that u have to attack the exercises with focus and high intensity

the people i study from say that the workouts should not be too long if you're specifically looking to build muscle, b/c if it is long then perhaps u are not working out at a high enough intensity

they say the ideal range is 45 mins to 1:30, but i also read if time is an issue anything lower is fine too as long as it's focused with good to high intensity, but keep in mind if u train more u will get more results mathematically speaking, if u train less but still good to high intensity u will still get results but less. at the end of the day reducing 10 mins of just hanging won't change much just as long your routine is done with effort, focus, and intensity. it may be even better to train a bit less in terms of time for gains or perhaps your body can handle more training for extra gains, i mean u need to experiment with it and figure out your schedule or if your body has more energy or motivation to do more PE regardless of what type of PE exercise it is. but anyway u still have a nice routine, it's definately not little. u know sometimes less is more if it's done right, other times more is better, u just gotta experiment

and as rocky said, the exercises should not be so easy, u do have to push through discomfort and test your limits a bit at least. i mean u should back off when it's a bad type of pain that may be injurious, but if it's a good type of pain that u can still withstand then hold or push through it as much or as long as u can

there's a saying in my physical training that i think is probably true and somewhat correlates with PE as well:

1 good rep is better than 20 bad reps

20 minutes is the maximum anyone should hang for so it makes sense that 30 is causing issues. Sets should be 20 minutes and at least 2 sets but 4 are preferable.
 
What i am saying is i am only hanging for 1 set of 20 min due to time
 
20 good minutes of a solid stretch with a known for sure weight amount beats a total time of "20 ish" (maybe) minutes of who knows how hard stretching with your hands any day.

1 set will definitely bring some gains but minimal due to the lack of time invested. Hanging is a great was to gain length but it requires time, imo 3 sets of 20 minutes being the minimum. If you train only one set I would get some other stretching in throughout the day to help speed gains. Maybe set aside 3 five minute breaks to get in some manual work. Or you could always get a SizeGenetics, Phallosan, PeniMasterPro to do the stretching for you.
 
Use a decent anount of weight that will cause a good amount of intensity. It should be highly uncomforatble but not painful.
 
Im doing a routine along with the 20 min
5 min tunica stretch
Behind the cheeks
__________ stretch 1:30 each way(left and right)
Dld length blasters
And 20 min hanging
Than 5 min erect stretches
5 min expressive

Should i just do 60 min of hanging or this routine?

You should really decide on one or the other and stick with it for a good 3-6 months to make great gains.

Yes but i am asking what routine would be most effective

I would go with the manual routine and stick with it for 90 days and see what the return is, if you are not happy then change to a new routine. You may want to add in hanging at some point as extra work, which will only benefit your growth. Even if it is only one or two sets on top of your routine you will be accomplishing a lot.
