Iveadream's Hanging Log

I'm back. I got my head straight and now I'm ready to get back at it. I actually started back yesterday. I've dropped a few pounds to ease back into it so here is where I'm at;
6/5/16
4 sets 10 min each with 19.5lbs. It felt good to stretch again. No problems with this weight. Got a little fatigued at the end but still good.
6/6/16
Hung 4 sets 10 mins each with 19.5lbs.

I'm going to continue with this weight for a little while and try and take things a little slower this time but I'm wondering from anyone is there anything else I should be doing besides hanging? I've been wondering if maybe I should throw in a couple more sets in the evening when I can or if maybe I should start a girth routine in the evening or should i just stick with what I'm doing? I'm looking for any advice that might help.

Welcome back my Brother! So happy that you have lost some weight and got your head straight. I am also very proud that you have started PE again. Hanging is just fine but I would also include some parts of the SRT Routine to make it even more effective. For instance, it is general protocol now to do Bundled Stretches before every workout as I have found that this crew-stretches the Tunica and allows for better length and girth gains. There are also many other things that will help you perfect this routine. SRT gives direction to both gaining and healing.

Ivea, some suggestions. First of all, please buy yourself a set of the fractional weight plates I suggested to you a while back. They come in 1/4lb, 1/2lb, 3/4lb and 1lb increments. I think you are a guy who would benefit from moving up in much smaller weight levels not to exceed 1lb at any given increase.

I want to suggest you go back to my how to guide and re read the suggested routine and how and when to move up in weight. The progressive hanging method I give an example of. Also, re watch the explanation videos, especially the Dave's Technique video. Use Dave's Technique along with the progressive method. Only move up in weight every two weeks. Again, don't exceed 1lb. Only move up in weight levels you can handle, even if it's "only" 1/4lb at a time.

Give these things a try along with the suggestions from DLD for 2-3 months.

Thanks D. Like I said it feels good to be stretching again.
First need to clear up something. I know I might have been misleading when I said "I dropped a few pounds" I didn't mean "my weight" I just meant I dropped a few pounds of my "hanging weight". When I quit hanging in May I was hanging 24.5lbs. When I started back I dropped to 19.5lbs.

Ok I thought I understood the concept of the SRT. Correct me if I'm wrong but I understood it to be to heal in an extended state whether it be from stretching or girth workout and to not just workout and be done with it.
If that's correct than I've been practicing that concept. After every workout I always put myself in an ADS at the very least 8hrs if not longer. What else am I missing to practice the SRT program?
Now I haven't been vigilant on the bundle stretches before my routine so I will try to incorporate them. If I recall correctly 5 mins of bundle stretches is sufficient before my workout, correct?
Please advise what else I'm not taking away from the SRT program.

Thanks Still.
I promise I haven't disregarded your suggestion on getting fractional weights. It is still on my "to get"list. Monies have been directed in other areas as of late but Im still planning on getting them.
I will definitely re-read everything to get a better understanding. I know I didn't follow the progressive hanging routine as it is laid out. I think I was trying to grab as much weight as I could for the whole routine instead of how you instructed to do.
After I read it I might have a question or two for you so be prepared.
Thanks again.

Hey man, great job on pushing your self to get back to it, you have a tone of dedication!
One question tho (and this isn't a diss what so ever, i respect the hell out of you for getting back to it) if you been doing one thing and it hasn't been working, how can you expect a different outcome doing the same thing?
Also, maybe taking weekly or even daily measurements is a good idea, a lot of people do i because there is no worse feeling then putting months and months of hard work in for nothing.
If you start keeping track, you'll know when to add weight and push it a little.
Just my 2 cents. Good luck man, i wish you the best, great job on the dedication!

First of all thanks kind words.
Second, the question you ask is the same question I was asking myself when I was on my hiatus. It was the reason I was so frustrated. I felt I had done everything right and put in a lot of time and didn't reap the rewards. That was why I was about to give up.
I honestly didn't know what else to do. From what I've heard and read hanging is one of the best exercise one can do to increase length so if I can't get it from hanging where would I go from here?
I've done all the manual stretching and felt I reached my limit with that and I felt needed something more intense.
Now some might argue I went to quick with my weight increase and maybe that's why I didn't gain, some might say I'm not putting in enough time but I really don't have anymore time. I'm already getting up at 4:30 a.m. to get in my sets. I really have no more time to hang (maybe a couple sets at night if I thought it would help) and maybe that's all true. Maybe I'm not doing it right but
I'm just not ready to give up yet. When I started hanging I promised myself to give it a year. Yes I was hoping to see a little bit of gains by now but I'm thinking this is it for me so I'm willing to give it a little more time.
Hopefully there will be a moment when everything just comes together.

I got you, I did think you were speaking of weight loss Thanks for the clarification. By the way, you are rocking g this routine!

Thanks.
If you feel that I'm doing good on this routine and following the SRT correctly do you have any insight as to why I didn't gain the last 6 months of hanging. What am I missing. On all accounts I should've gained, shouldn't have I ?

What is your current routine or the routine you have used over the past 6 months? Exactly, time, reps, exercises, etc. We will find where the issue is and get you gaining.

This is exactly what I've done for the last six months which is basically what this thread has contained. It's quite simple actually and might be why I haven't gained.

5 to 6 days a week (mostly 6) I would hang
3 sets 15 mins each. I started out with 10lbs and had worked my way up to 24.5lbs(a little more at times) when I took a break. Just before I took a break I had switched to 4-10 min sets. Then I would wear my VLC for at least 8+ hours a day. At night I usually pumped myself up in my Penomet but mostly just about 10 mins just to pull fresh blood in or sometimes before sex but not any real girth routine as I was concentrating on length.
I know it probably isn't a lot of time spent but I was going on the idea of what Still and Dashdeming mostly did. Obviously though it's not really working out for me. My problem is I don't have a lot of time. Mostly about an hour in the morning and I might be able to squeeze in 30 mins to an hour at night. I know that's not a lot of time but that's all I have.
So to recap
3 to 4 sets 15 to 10 mins each with 24.5lbs
Wear an ADS 8+ hours a day. I don't have anymore time to do anything else.

Is there any way for yout to get in 5min of bundled stretches?
How low do you attach on the shaft? Thinking expressive stretches here.

What about erect stretches a few times per week, 2-3 times for 5-10min should be enough.

Thank for getting back to me. There are quite a few things that are happening that are causing a lack of gains and lets explore these things. First, Bundled Stretches are extremely important prior to a length or girth workout. This will allow the penis to accept more stretchability and expansion. Next is the hanging sets. 3 sets of 15 minutes is just not enough time in hanging. Any proficient hanger will train upwards of 3 hours a day hanging. Hanging require much time and privacy, it is a great way to make length gains but it does require much time. Since you do not have this time lets make hanging more gainful by using your hanger as expressive tool. Doing 3 sets of 15 minutes of these will be very productive. Simply attach the hanger as close tp the base as possible and let that internal penis come outward. Since your time does not allow for lengthly hanging I suggest manual stretching routine, the Newbie Stretches are great as they hit every possible angle and leave no stone unturned. If you have a LengthMaster you can do these stretches with that. The VLC is great to keep you in an extended state so keep on using that as you have been. Also, erect stretching is very important to cementing and making new gains. 10 minutes 3-4 times a week is plenty. I also suggest the Testical Health Massage and Stretch, this will help your penis to hang much longer and heavier. It will also ward off Turkey Neck. As far as girth goes, you need to use the SRT 5x5x3 method, this will bring girth so much faster. So with all these things said let me see if I can fit it into your schedule.

60 minutes in the AM and 30 minutes in the PM

AM work: Length
5 Minutes of Bundled Stretches 2.5 minutes per side
3 sets of 5 minute expressive hanging
3 sets of the Newbie Stretches

Total Time: 50 minutes

PM work: Girth
5x5x3 SRT BathMate Routine (Penomet also)
Testical Health and Massage
Use a cock ring to retain the pump for as long as possible

Use the VLC as much every moment of the day you are not training.

3-4 days a week 10 minutes of Erect Stretching

Total Time: 20-25 minutes
