In answer to your question below: You should be able to cut your hanging time down to a reasonable amount. 5 hours should be enough. You see after your hanging sessions the Rings will prevent the normal retraction that you’ll get when you do nothing for the next 24 hours. That’s assuming that your doing one hanging session per day. If your doing more then that then you might not be experiencing any regression but that means a great deal of time out of your day.
My normal schedule would be hanging in the afternoon when I got home from work and for the rest of the day and all day the next day until my session time came around I would wear the Rings. I found that they prevented any losses that normally occurred and my progress became rather consistent. Weekends I didn’t do any hanging but I did keep the Rings on. So in addition to the above findings I found also that I could go days without a hanging session and when I looked at my data over a long period of time my gains were still consistent with consecutive hanging results. So in effect the Rings became not only an insurance against losses but also acted as a bridge for normal life inconsistencies of my routine.
The more direct answer to your question is: Keep the rings on as much as possible and carry out your normal hanging routine. Together is how everything works best.
One of the additional advantages is the prevention of plateau’s. Working within the healing cycles of the body is the key to consistent gains. When you allow a time interval between stress periods (hanging) for healing to take place the body is going to strengthen the tissues that were damaged or stressed during the hanging. Everyone’s healing rate or cycle period is different. If you can keep disruption in the tissues between hanging sessions then you will have consistent gains. If you don’t then you will be fighting the bodies natural ability to heal and strengthen what it recognizes as something wrong, namely stressed tissues somewhere in the body. Plateau’s will demand heavier hanging sessions which is the biggest reason for guys ending up trying to hang 35 to 45 lbs. That is one scary hanging weight and really is dangerous. This should be unnecessary . I’ve hung 3 years and I still use less then 20 lbs to accomplish gains. Very heavy weights should be unnecessary.
The question about sitting effectiveness of the rings is this: Once you have the rings on they not only provide a consistent tug while your up and about but they also act as a traction device preventing regression. Obviously a loss of the weight while sitting can’t be avoided without a hole in your chair but think of it this way. If every time you stand up your penis is being pulled with 2lbs of weight hanging on it your going to keep the disruption of the tissues which is afterall is all we’re interested in. Certainly a constant pull from a stretcher is nice but when you look at the statistics of each you won’t find any difference except you have to guard yourself all the time with all that apparatus in your pants. I don’t know about you but I don’t think they make pants THAT loose.
