That's great. After a week off, I can finally hang 30lbs for 2 sets. New goal for me last night. You'll be catching up real soon. Good luck.

Thanks and congratulations on reaching your goal. That is some good weight there. I've got 2-30 lb dumbbells and I remember when I first started hanging and was reading about others hanging 30+ lbs I picked one of them up and I thought there's no way I can do that. Now I'm thinking about moving to 20 lbs next week if everything goes good and that's just 10 lbs less. So yeah 30 lbs is going to be my goal for now too. I do know though I have to crawl before I can walk so it might be a while before I reach it. I know I keeping wining about this but I think once I get my wrap down it will allow me to hang more sooner. I feel my dick could handle the hang it's just not to liking the wrap right now if that makes sense.

I was only able to hang 2 sets 15 min each at 17.5 lbs this morning because I had to leave earlier for work. I wish I had a work from home job. Anyway I will try to get a set or two in tonight.
 
What do you wrap with? I use a layer of soft, wound dressing followed by ace wrap and then a wrist sweat band. I got everything at Walgreens in one trip. I'll have to thicken it up soon with the weight increase. I get a box of around 20 soft wound dressings, each one lasts a while. Those wear out so that way my ace wrap and wrist band last almost forever.
 
I wrap first with a sports pre-wrap. I use it to help with skin roll over on my glands. Then I use a self adhering wrap, then a small piece of 3" wide sports wrap just to help with slipping . It sticks really good with the non slip pads on the LM. My main problem still and has been for a long time is the skin that rolls over my glands. It kinda goes up my glands about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up and makes a good indention and causes the top 1/4 of my glands to become really hard and callous feeling by the end of my session. I don't think that's good for it especially over time. So I still need to come up with something to prevent that. Even with all the wrap I still get it some and that's where most of my discomfort and pain comes from. When I can I'll take some pictures of my wrap and also what it does to my glands.

Have you tried wrapping a bit lower and attaching lower, maybe an inch below your head? This should help with the slippage over your head. You could also do your same set up and slip a cock ring to secure the wrap so it does not slip beyond the ring. May work for you.

Well I hung my first set with 17.5 lbs for 15 mins. It felt really good so I thought I'd add another 2.5 lbs plate just to see how it felt. I was able to hang my next 2 sets with 20 lbs for 15 min each. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even struggle with the extra weight. I'm wondering how can that be. How is it that I have been able to increase in weight this fast? I've read a lot of guys starting at a lot lower weight and only increasing slowly after months of hanging. It's got me thinking have I increased my weight too soon and not given my penis enough time to adjust properly. I'm worried I might be toughening it up instead of stretching out the ligs and the rest of it. Is hanging supposed to be more of a slower process even though I have been able to handle more weight?

You say it felt really good, and that's because you were well recovered from the last session. If you were still a bit sore then more weight (2.5 doesn't sound like too much) would have been uncomfortable. The bottom line is you need to get those microtears, and that's why more weight is necessary eventually don't be afraid :).
 
Sorry this is off topic again but how do I post a picture here from a smart phone?
 
When you hit reply to thread, click where it says to go advanced and it'll take you to a new setup, you'll see a bar with a little pictures on it. There's one for posting video, adding links and for pictures. You'll see. Sometimes the pics and sometimes they don't for some reason. So don't feel bad. Mine don't when I post them. Sucks.

Just showing my set up and the weight. 1-10 lbs plate, 1-5 lbs plate, and 2- 2.5 lbs plate. Not much but it's a start.

Nice, looks like an awesome stretch, so a total of 17.5? Nice weight to hang.

Nice work.

Did you just post straight from your phone?

Thanks.
I did it from my phone but I had to go to desktop view and if gives me more options to choose from and one was to attach a photo from my phone. I never did see any options to add a picture from the mobile view just one to add a video even in the advanced option.

Hung 3 sets 15 min each at 20 lbs. Good stretch. The first 15 min went good but at about 11 to 12 min into the 2nd and 3rd set I really had to bear down to get them in. No real pain or anything just getting fatigued really good. I'm really hoping to start seeing some changes with this heavier weight. Nothing immediate mind you but still in the next few months or so.

I'm going to get me a pulley system set up so I can do some different angle stretching as well. I'll alternate days on hanging straight down then out and up.

Excellent! Try to move up 5 pounds every 2 weeks, that is what I did until I got to 60 pounds.
 
I tried moving up 2.5lbs each week but my body doesn't like it. It's like every 2-3 weeks but I'll get there. You're doing great. Definitely try to hit different angles. You'll feel new pulls like never before. Even now you can lift one leg on a chair while hanging straight down or put the attachment onto a strong door knob and lean back while slowly turning side to side. The deep pull is excellent.

Thanks, I'll do my best. 60 lbs! Man I couldn't imagine that much weight but yet when I started hanging I thought 20 lbs was a lot and that it would be months before I could reach that but here I am.

I think I recall reading somewhere that you stated that hanging really didn't benefit you very much. Why do you think that is? To be honest it kind of bummed me when I read that cause I thought if it didn't benefit you maybe it wouldn't benefit me either. I think if I'm not mistaken it was in a post in a Kingsnakes thread.
