High angle of erection

Yeah, if those don’t hit the ligs then you probably need more intense exercises, namely hanging.

You’ll know it when you are stressing the ligs. You’ll feel it in your “guts”, for lack of a better term. It’s not an unpleasant, at least in my opinion, sensation. Skin stretch on the other hand is very unpleasant but is also required for at least a little while.
