FATIGUE: What does it mean to Reach Fatigue in Penis Enlargement

"Fatigue" doesn't always accompany soreness. It's more of a state of condition than a feel. Although you can have symptoms of soreness, but that depends on the level of your training, and the plateaus that you reach.

If you base everything on the feel you get from ligament soreness then you have not properly defined "fatigue". Obviously as you progress into heavier more intense training you can feel the following symptoms......

#1 - Soreness at the base of your penis, since your ligament is attached to your pubic bone you should feel it more internally behind the fat pad.

#2 - Mild tenderness within your penis shaft. I wouldn't classify this as soreness, but more like muscle or tissue awareness. Meaning if you massage or squeeze your penis you should feel like it's been used or worked.

#3 - Soreness in you sphincter muscle. Occasionally as you graduate to heavier weight the initial sessions can manifest a soreness in your sphincter muscle. This means your body is reacting to the stress of the workload and tensing up. This is where you really need to learn to relax that pelvic floor muscle, and feel that stretch to it's fullest.

#4 - A very loose and pliable flaccid penis. This is the condition you should experience after a good hang session. It's also the time to take full advantage of this "fatigue" and do 10 - 15 minutes of very aggressive hand stretches. The hang work is what facilitates the "fatigue" and it's where you'll be able to stretch, twist and bend your penis beyond what you can normally do prior to a weight hanging session. It's in this condition that you probably wouldn't be able to achieve a 100% hard erection. This is FATIGUE!

It's my experienced that erect length gains come from flaccid length gains. Your penis can be stretched to greater lengths while flaccid than while erect.
You'll never hear anyone say that they have a 7" flaccid penis, but only a 6" erection. Over time the difference between your flaccid length and erect length will become less. For me if I had to put a percentage on it, it would be approximately 30%

If you are looking to target the ligament stretch more intensely without going to heavier weight, then use a Fulcrum bar as close to the base area as possible, all the way up to the point where you have to push your testicles backwards. Only do not exceed 15 minutes of Fulcrum hanging, as it will cut off circulation to a point. You can do sets of Fulcrums in between SD hanging.

How Fast Should I be Increasing Weights Increments?

I vaguely remember reading a while ago that if you add too much weight too fast that would make the penis adapt by hardening up, thus making me add more weight to "feel it" more, then causing my penis to adapt even more, and become even stronger, and making it less and less able to stretch for the purpose of PE. I can't remember exactly where I read it.

But what do you think about this? If you go too heavy too fast, does the penis adapt and become harder to enlarge? I've started hanging about 3 weeks ago at 4 lbs, and starting today I'm at 8 lbs, doing two to three 45-minute sets a day.

I feel like I could even go to 9 pounds pretty soon. Should I? Or is that thing about the penis adapting and becoming tougher and harder to enlarge, true?

I've always recommended slow steady increases in weight and time. You can not make dramatic jumps from a light weight to a much heavier weight without negative side effects (primarily a blister).

It's very important to allow your penis time to develop tissue maturity via the conditioning process. I have said this countless times.... it took me three full months to go from 3 lbs to 8 lbs.

If you feel you can do more weight then that decision is up to you. Weight hanging is an intuitive process, you're learning what type of work load your penis can handle and more importantly what it requires to reach fatigue.

The theoretical assumption that going too heavy too fast can make your penis stronger and cause it to prematurely adapt to the work load and inhibit gains is purely speculative. It might have some merit, but nobody knows for certain if that is true. If they can say this without any reservation, I would ask how can you prove it?

As for how much weight you feel you can hang with at this time, is a decision only you can make. It's all based on how you feel and respond. You will eventually get to a place where you cannot go any heavier. So to me it only makes logical sense to make gradual increases and focus on achieving fatigue and learning how to relax your pelvic floor muscle while you are under traction.
