LOT of 7:30 - The worst number to have!?

Tell me if I’m wrong, but over the past year it seems that almost everyone who starts with a LOT of 7:30 has had a bitch of a time with gains…if they’ve gained at all. I think this LOT is the worst for some reason.

No. I’ll tell you what’s worse. Six is worse, or when you can lift 20 hung BTC just by doing a kegal.

I don’t know. Seems that all the low numbers suck ass. I’m a 6:00 as well. Christ, I’m practically a 4:30

Hi

I am at around 7. As long as I feel my ligs I will continue to attack them.

Happy gains,

No, the worst is to have 07:38 and 25 seconds… :D :D :D

Now seriously, I think we should take the LOT theory with care.
The theory came up as a logical conclusion from one of the PE gurus (Bib), but it is very difficult to prove its contribution to the gains you may get.
I take it only as an indicator of FAST gains. Thats why my advice is, don’t miss to stretch in all other directions as well.

My advice: Stretch your ligs. Don’t seem to gain anymore? Switch to stretching your tunica. It’s not nearly as bad as it’s advertised.

I agree. LOT is a very good theory and not a religion.

Coming out of lurk-mode for just a minute. :lurk: Hopefully my posting muscle isn’t too weak or I may hurt my “submit” button. I have had a 6 o’clock LOT before and have moved it into the ~10:30 range from tunica hanging. I am trying to hit 12 before I go for ligs but may cheat and do BTC sooner.

I also agree with base and his hypnotic dancing avatar: instead of trying to go BTC with a 6 o’clock LOT and not get much out of it, just jump to tunica work. I personally found I gained a lot (no pun intended) at first because I never had stretched the tunica before. You will probably find some initial starter-gains from that like you did when you first started PE with lig stretches.

Keep in my mind I am not a scientist and I am going by what I know. Any physiological discussions about why I am wrong will confuse me. Use small words and colorful pictures please. Also - no LOT is a bad LOT. Be happy you know what a LOT is! Without it you would not be gaining anything at all!

If someone with a low LOT gains very slowly over the years, eventually the LOT could become high, and then they could receive what is similar to the fast initial gains of someone who starts out with a high LOT, along with their tunica gains they have gotten already. Perhaps?

I have a LOT of 6, might even be lower and so I am doing alot of straight north stretching (the tunica I believe). Because I have a low Lot, I think that means my ligs are stretched already, right? I have a decent flaccid hang, close to 4.5 to 5” just hanging and that might be attributed to it.

I am hoping to raise my Lot, but I don’t do hanging. Just stretching.

I have had a LOT of around 7:30-8 ever since I started 10 months ago and I’ve gained almost 2” using SD hanging and A-stretches.
