Hanging Experience

So I'm probably going to end up posting small blog posts here just to keep up to date with measurements and progress, but more of my daily stuff will be on the Progress Forum, but honestly who knows, I'm a wishy washy person. Anyways! Back to business; I wanted to post my complete hanging experience thus far from when I got my Bib Starter, till now, with my new hybrid routine. Keep in mind that my goal here is length gains for days, I'm mostly fine with my girth cause my penis currently looks like a smoothed out cone.

I started hanging on 2/21/17, and didn't make an official routine till 2/27/17, and kept a small note log on my phone from back then so I'll just be re-typing what I had there.

WARNING: I did get lazy with my log so there may be time gaps, but there were only a few days where I ditched my daily hanging because of school work and activities.

"Fiddled around with mechanics, did 2.5-5lbs with 3 sets of 20 minutes, 10 minute breaks until following Monday when I officially started hanging

Week 1 (2/27 - 3/5): Started with 2.5 lbs with 4 sets of 20, 10 minute breaks, quickly moved to 5 lbs the second day (2/28)

Week 2 (3/5 - 3/12): Moved up to 7.5 lbs (minimum), starting with ~8.0-8.5 lbs, still doing 4 sets of 20 minutes each, 10 minute breaks, On Thursday (3/9), started hanging 10 lbs as max to get fatigued faster, then 3 7.5 lbs sets, seems to be working I suppose

OFFICIAL STATS AS OF 3/16/17:
BPEL: 6.9
NBPEL: 6.25
MSEG: 5.1
BSEG: 5.25

Week 3 (3/13 - 3/19): Spring break; used 10 lbs for about first 2 sets, then would lower to 7.5 on the next 2. would do split sets on some days (like 2), and ended up hanging 6 sets 2 of the days. Rest of the days just 4 sets. Didn't hang on Saturday, 8-10 minute breaks whole week

Week 4 (3/20 - 3/26): Moved up to doing 3 sets with 10 lbs, 1 set with 7.5 lbs, with 7-10 minute breaks, lots of edging, felt huge on Wednesday, also doing 4 sets total on that day

Week 5 (3/27 - 4/2): Moved down to 2 sets with 10 lbs, 7.5 other 2 sets, hung 3 sets Wednesday, then on Thursday I finally stopped using that **** cloth wrap to see what that would do, then felt a sharp tendon pain on second set, could not hang anymore, and wasn't sure if it because of the solo rubber wrap or I actually injured myself?? Feels like a burning sensation in my tendon

Week 6 (4/3 - 4/9): Started new technique of wrapping, feel much better, put cloth 0.25 inches below circumcision scar. Dropped down to 1 set for 7.5 lbs, which is good I suppose. Didn't hang on Saturday

Week 7 (4/10 - 4/16): Been going well, dropped the 7.5 lbs and switched to 3 sets of 10 lbs and 1 beginning set of 12.5 lbs on Monday, will take me awhile o get past 12.5 because it puts a huge amount of pressure on my poor tiny penis's head :(. i'm getting pretty sore in my tendons and skin frequently and consistently though. Lots of penis skin irritation, hoping to recover soon without stopping hanging

Week 8-13 (4/17 - 5/28): So no gains at all, same size, maybe shrinkage even but I doubt it, not much girth gain at all as well, probably just +0.1, and it's been so long, I'm losing hope. I've been sticking with 10 pound weights, I move back up to 12.5 every now and then. I'm getting extremely frustrated I'm not seeing anything cause I'm trying and suffering from pain so bad, I just want a big dick already. I'll keep going till I gota year under my belt, then I'll make some drastic changes. Been doing 4 sets at least... sometimes 5 or 6 if I'm lucky throughout the day but it becomes too uncomfortable to do even 4 anymore

Week 14 (5/29 - 6/4): Found an easier way to do 12.5 pounds by making a 2.5 weight separate and adding it/removing it as i please. Might make me sore faster? I've no idea anymore. So tired of this **** not working. I think it's only been like 3 months though, going on 4 soon, still sticking out sadly. I think I wasted my money.

Week 15-17 (6/5 - 6/25): Been doing the same stuff, x4 sets for 20 minutes, still stuck at 10-12.5 pounds. I do some BTC every now and then, and I can feel the stretch but still no visible results. I'm pretty sure it's just skin stretch anyways. I haven't even measured yet but I'm too afraid to because I don't want this to be for nothing. I'm thinking about doing OTS or fulcrum hanging to see if it's less painful or better but I really don't know anymore. I'm pretty sure my ligaments are all stretched out and I should focus tunica instead, since my LOT has always been 6 o' clock.

WARNING: This is the major time gap where I got lazy with the logs, so be wary. This is also my last log before I ran out of space to use the same note, and I got too lazy to ever make another one

Week 18-29 (6/26 - 9/17): Been continuing with x4-x5 sets everyday for 20 minutes each, recent weeks I've been getting up to 12.5 pounds more consistently, and today (9/17), I moved my base weight 12.5 pounds so soon I'll be doing 15 pound weight as my first set or two. Don't see much improvement, but mine as well keep going, trying to incorporate a stretch routine also but I don't know what to do to get what works for me. There's so many options. I still haven't measured but I doubt I even gained a quarter of an inch in length this whole 7 damn months of hanging. So, I'm gonna try bumping up my weight more quickly and try investing in manual stretches, maybe go back to jelqing but yeah... Nothing seems to be working."

And that's where I lost my log folks, my loss of hope went with it. I managed to keep hanging from there, but I never really enjoyed it because I was slowly damaging my dick with the 20 minute weights. Finally, I figured I should drop to 15 minutes, and that worked wonders for me. I don't remember all of my routines from September cause my school's marching band program picked up in the season, and I ended up getting a surgery done and completely forgot all about my logs.

But I sure as hell can tell you my routine now and my wrapping technique for anyone wondering, and I've managed to make my past 2 months of set the most comfortable and doable thing I've done yet. The only reason I ever hated hanging during my early months was because it hurt like hell to keep doing it and I wanted a big dick so badly, I let it get in the way of my penis health. I mean, I probably still don't do the whole hanging thing right, but it's a lot more comfortable now than it was back them, and it makes me feel like I can keep going with it. I finally even started my manual stretching routine a week about as well, as part of my New Year's thang.

ANYWAYS, HANGING ROUTINE NOW:
So I usually start off with a 10 pound or 7.5 weight, just to get all my skin and penis stuff stretched out and loosened up. Then I do a set of 12.5 pounds, then the set after that I either do 12.5 again or 10 depending on PI's, and I usually finished with a 7.5 pound weight for the last 2 sets because it's what's most comfortable with me. Note, each set is 15 minutes instead of 20 because I used to get so much blood clogging and discoloration when I did 20 minute sets. My breaks are usually fairly spaced about, about 10-20 minute breaks depending on the other stuff I'm doing. I swing my weights a lot just o get that extra stretch sometimes, plus it's fun :p.

STRETCHING ROUTINE:
This one's all hands on! I lay down on the ground the entire time for this too.
1.)Stretch penis towards chest + 100 kegels
2.) 25 reps clockwise rotations + 25 reps anti-clockwise rotations
3.)20 second hard kegel squeeze
4.)20 reps of: kegel'ing penis while stretching towards chest, and continuing to stretch and reverse kegel'ing for 5 seconds (all of this is just 1 rep)
5.)25 reps rotation CW, then 10 side-to-sides, 25 reps rotation CCW, then 10 s-t-s, 25 reps CW, 10 s-t-s
6.)20 reps of step 4
7.)same as step 5 right here
8.)only 10 reps of step 4
9.)finish with step 5 here, with an extra 30 reps of rotation, 15 CW and 15 CCW

TL;DR
I hated then loved hanging, plus heyyy new stretch routine, read above at least :cool:
