Once toughened, gains are difficult to come by. It’s also evident, newbie gains are the materialized potential of the tissue conditions you already have. That said, maximize that potential first, the most non invasive way possible. Then pick a format; hanging, stretching, pumping, and move forward.
My older brother is a great example of jumping headlong. Since none of you know him.. He went straight to hanging about 7 years ago, picked some ungodly 30lb routine he read somewhere, not here. Bypassed any semblance of a newbie routine like it was something for sissies. Had a promising gain, initially, then fell flat with problems and zero gains. He’s been back and forth from decon to the next greatest thing he can find. Too proud, he’s yet to try the newbie routine, and reset. He keeps stressing the shit out of his dick.
I’m not saying that’s your answer, couldn’t hurt, but if the warning to anyone reading this actually lands on brain matter then we’re all better for it.
