You don’t need to increase 20% each time you change that’s just for now.
An ADS will protect you from loosing any gains you accumulate from hanging even if you can’t see them at any point in time except down the road.
I like Monty’s advice-I was thinking the same thing—it’s a bit odd to see someone trying to do girth & length at the same time.
Also, with your hanging you’re supposed to hit fatigue within the first 2 sets, subsequent sets are done at lower weight as needed, you go by feel. If you’re hanging right, and pushing things a bit, I don’t see how you would be able to clamp without doing some damage to your penis (your ligs/ tissues should be fatigued after you hang). You need to pick a primary hanging angle, and a secondary angle. If you somehow reach fatigue with the first angle when you can no longer hang, then do the secondary angle. If you have read about Bib, he would suggest you determine your hanging angle based on your LOT/ Mirror Test/ and Palpitation test. Once your lig gains are exhausted at one angle, then you switch. Anyway, you should get in at least 10 hours a week of hanging. If you can’t get much hanging in, then you may need an ADS (like Monty suggested), then hang as you have time.
