I went back a page or two and looks like you corrected everything, I wouldn't go up no more than 1 or two pounds a week and if you take a few days off you might have to lower the weight a little bit since your soft tissues and attachment point can lose some of their conditioning. I know exactly how it is to get over zealous and be chomping at the bit to make some gains. You were right though hanging is an art and a science.

Have you gained yet?

Well I technically haven't had an official measuring date yet. I knew when I started in October it was going to be a journey and was going to give myself time before I measured...........but I have a couple ways to give me an idea if I've made any gains or not. One being I know how long my toothbrush is (7 3/8") and If I get hard I'll compare. Well back in January the mood hit so I checked and I was at 7 1/4"nbp mark on the toothbrush. I started at 6 7/8"nbp in October so by that little test I gained 3/8" nbp. Now that being said it wasn't a great measurement but it gives me an idea I'm gaining. I don't think I've gained any more since then but that was around about the same time I started having some trouble so that might be why. I've said I was going to measure officially mid May after taking off a week while on vacation. So I have about another 3 weeks of hanging before I take my break. So we'll see.

Looks like alls signs point to gains. I can't wait to hear the official measurement in May!

Well as you can see I'm stuck on 24.5lbs for now. I'm not getting the comfortable feeling to move up in weight right now so I'll stick with this weight. By the fourth set I get really fatigued so I think I'm good for now.

No rush on the increase. 24.5 pounds is a great deal of weight and will definitely be gainful. Increase when you are ready, never jump the gun.

Try increasing the sets to 15 min or even 20 min

good point an increase in time is another way to step it up. Thanks Long!

Well it's a time issue. I get up at 4:30 a.m. in order to get my hanging sessions in. I only have just over an hour to get it done. I was hanging 3 sets 15 min each but with a little less weight so I decided to try 4 sets 10 min each with a little more weight. So I guess it's the age old question........ less weight more time or more weight less time?

Dashdeming hung only 20 mins a day but with more weight and he gained over 2 inches in 15 months. I think at the time he first wrote his "Hard Core Hanging" thread he was at 33lbs which is only 8.5 lbs more than where I'm at.
So anyway that's what I was looking at.
 
Okay I totally understand and as long as the tissues are reaching their breaking point without injury you should gain. Bib used to hang 8 hours a day and said he could have probably gotten the same gains with half the time because of diminishing returns. In my experience is a balancing act between time and stress with time being favored. Again as long as you'll reaching the fatigued state you will gain.

Theories abound that hardcore hanging can lead to a tougher penis yada yada yada. Me I get it in when I can fit it in and dash did it out of necessity because of a buddy schedule. I look forward to seeing your progress. Keep up the consistency that's the main thing

I think a mix of the two would be smartest, looking towards one as an active hanging exercise and the other as a passive hanging exercise. Keep the penis guessing, you know?

how are things feeling now, any better?
 
Well this is the post I feared I would be writing. I was hoping it would have been a different post with great news about my gains and how I couldn't wait to keep going, blah blah blah but unfortunately it's not going to be that kind of post.

I took my week off to go on vacation and I knew by the 2nd day things were not going the way I wanted. My dick started looking pathetic. It was drawing up, not hanging, had no volume to it. It looked like I hadn't done anything EVER to it. I thought maybe it was just going thru a recovery stage and once it relaxed from all the stress I put it thru the last few months it would start to look better and act better. NOPE.
The week went by and it pretty much didn't change. It still looked like I hadn't done any exercises at all. I have to tell you I felt very defeated.VERY!
I thought I had done everything right or pretty close to right. I put in the time. Got up early to do my sets. Wore an ADS every day to keep it extended. I increased weight when I thought I was supposed to, I thought I was doing it right and this is what I get in return a penis that looks like it should be on a little kid instead of a grown man.
I really have gone thru some frustration, being mad, confused, depressed, ect. You name it I've gone thru it.
Well then the dreaded day came. I knew I had to measure even though I could tell it wasn't going to be good and it wasn't. I got myself as hard as I could even took some viagra. 7" nbp. That's only an 1/8" since I started hanging last October and with assistance of viagra. I'm not sure I had got that extra 1/8" without using it which means I pretty much haven't gained shit.
How can this be? What am I doing wrong? Everything I've done everybody said I was on the right path. That I was doing good. Keep up the good work.

All the pain and time I've put in and this is what I end up with? Maybe I just don't have the right amount of time to put in this to make it work. I don't know. Maybe I've reached my limit on how much I'm going to gain. Maybe I've top out. Maybe for me there's no more to gain and I've reached my max. I just don't know any more.
I don't know where to go from here. I don't know how start back because I don't know what to do. Obviously what I've been doing is not working but I'm lost as to where to go from here.
I was hoping hanging was going to be the answer for me but now I just don't know.
I don't know ANYTHING.
 
This is the best time to keep on, rather than throw in the towel in frustration. Get back to hanging and keep those weight increases going. How long have you been at 24.5lbs?
 
first of all, after hanging for so long, your unit has to take time to readjust, and a week isnt long enough, i've done heavy pumping sessions that have left me with a hard shriveled flaccid for weeks. and the stress on the tissues from hanging is far greater.
Secondly, in this state the erection are always weak, leaving me with a shorter erect measurement of up to an inch sometimes. but eventually after i level off to normal, my size has actually increased. even with viagra, the sensitivity of the shaft wont allow for a proper erection.
This is why i say, you just need to give it sometime, also, the anxiety with having to take measurments will do it.
 
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.
