Advantages of splitting hanging sessions

My biggest obstacle in hanging, so far, is skin soreness.
The skin irritation gets unbearable after about 6 sets, especially on the 4th and 5th hanging day.

The second biggest obstacle for me is the vast time consumption that hanging will incur.
While hanging BTC, I am essentially immobilized.

I used to set aside a 3-4 hour block of time every day to do my hanging.
During this time I would watch TV, spend time at Thunder’s, or read a book.
But I wasn’t accomplishing important things that I needed to get done.

I decided to split my sessions to 3 sets/2 times per day.
On the first day I try to do as many sets as I can to get to the fatigued state.
Then after that, doing 3 sets/2 times a day feels quite effective.

The advantages thus far:

-It is the end of skin soreness and irritation.

-It is much easier to steal away 90 minutes** during the day. For example, I can easily do this before and after my night’s sleep.

-I can use heavier weight.

-I can hang 6 or 7 days per week because my skin isn’t so beat up and raw.
(Even though Bib says to rest 2 days per week, he also said he tried to sneak a few sets in on his days off. Plus, I see no reason not to *safely* ride that fatigue as long as you can.)

**3 sets take me 90 minutes to complete. That includes warm-up and breaks.

Does anyone see disadvantages to what I am doing?

I think it sounds just fine. Similarly I make it a habit to add a late night set or two. It takes the pressure off of trying to fit in X number of sets per day and fatigue definitely becomes a constant presence.

I’m interested in this sore-skin issue. It strikes me as unusual. Has this always been the case? Meaning, after the initial skin-stretch/soreness everyone encounters as they begin hanging yours never dissipated?
I almost never experience skin soreness. Maybe I’m the unusual one.

Yes, you are unusual.
The soreness is not nearly as bad as it was when I began hanging 6 months ago.

I feel skin-stretch-soreness every time I move up in weight, it usually lasts about a week.
But I feel an overall skin-soreness right where I clamp the Starter on my shaft.
Sometimes when my wrap is too loose it will bunch up under the tightening bolt and cause
a little discomfort on the topside of the shaft.

I’m up to 15-18lbs BTC. I really have to tighten that hanger down to prevent slipping.
I cannot imagine how Bib hung 45lbs.
Maybe my full size Bib Hanger will be more comfortable with the heavier weight.

it takes me a lot of adjusting to get skin right for btc. if its not perfect it hurts bad.

When i first started hanging 2yrs ish ago,i could not imagine 45 lbs btc hanging either.But am now doing it.From 25 to 45 is easier than the first 25. Good technique is whats it about i believe.
