Why would you want to stretch higher than 0.17 Mpa?? What are you trying to achieve here?This has been disccused by manko, kyrpa and tutt in the past, there is no need to go to higher loads, there is no benefit, unless you want to move a car with your penis. But since everyone decided to follow the thermal pad + hang trend (without accurate readings + measurements), good luck doing 6-9 months decons while hanging 15kg at a time.
I am still gonna follow kyrpa/igigi threads that use ultrasound and moderate weights. Anyways good luck in your journey and so on
Woaaa!! Who said I am following manko, kyrpa and tutt??? Decons?? What is that? Laughing :)
First off I am (not currently) a 10 hour a week, split set, BTC/SD, every day with no breaks or decons and ride the fatigue kind of guy. I might add some heat but it is not from a IFR pad. Old rice sock. Now that we have established that and the fact that I made it to my goal of 8 x 6 a while back and have gained 2 inches so I am beyond newbie gains.
So why would I stretch higher than 0.17 Mpa?? Simple, the entry to the plastic region is around .9 to 1.1 Mpa. The region in which the material deforms permanently is called the plastic region. You don’t have to enter that region for very long to get the effect you want but you also have to be careful. This is not a good strategy for a newbie.
A routine would be something like the following.
AM workout
First set 20 minutes 20 LB
Second set 5 minute shock weight in plastic region for 5 minutes 37.5 LB then last 15 minutes drop to 20 LB (done M-W-F only)
Third set 20 minutes 20 LB
PM workout
2 x 20 minute at 20 LB
Total 100 minutes a day.
