changing routine, please comment

I decided I am ready to kick it up a notch after several months of patient success.

I used to do this:

5 days a week

5 min heat lamp
BTC stretch 5 min x 5
5 min heat lamp
30 min jelq
5 min heat lamp

I found that I am quite conditioned for clamping after a few 10 min tries every once in a while, and I just ordered a bibhanger.

So, now I want to try this:

5 days a week

5 min heat lamp
clamp 10 min x 3
5 min heat lamp
30 min bibhanger
5 min heat lamp

Do you think I can get rid of the jelq altogether, or should I add some jelq at the end? I want to try clamp before hang because I think it helps make things more pliable, at least, it feels that way.

Give me some CRITIQUE, :rofl: !

I think you should break up the 30 minute hanging into two 15 or 20 minute sets. I don’t have a link, but a lot of posters here have mentioned that you shouldn’t hang over 20 minutes, I think because of the loss of circulation.

Also when I hang I use the IR light for the first half of the set, then turn it off. Kind of easing into the set as somebody told me. Example- hang 20 minutes, light on for first 10 minutes off for next ten. Jelq 5 minutes then repeat.

Let us know how it goes, I want to know if hanging and clamping in the same workout would work. Good luck.

I agree with rr, break up your hanging in 2x15 minutes
