BTC SD question for BIB

Bigger,

Lately at the end of my sets of BTC I will get up and walk or woddled to the bathroom and view my dick with the weights and hanger attached.

So basically I am doing a couple of minutes of SD instead of BTC.

Now it is seeming that when I reach the SD position regardless of whether or not I walk to the bathroom the pull at the base is a completely different feeling than the pull or stretch I feel in BTC position. (I suspect I still have seem skin stretch taking place in BTC position despite my efforts).

So my question is this. If you assume you have equal amounts of skin stretch taking place BTC verse’s SD and the same weight hung is BTC the more effective position for ligament pull or is it just more efficient to do because you are not standing on your feet and can multitask while hanging easier?

BTW happy new year to you and the other hangers and I am definitely getting better at my hanging.

Well, I always felt a different stretch with each approximately 30 degree change in hanging angle. Sometimes less. It surely may be the skin thing, but could be different internal structures receiveing the stress.

Both. In general, the more severe angle of BTC will place more stress on the ligs, no matter what, than SD. Perhaps for a beginer, there is a cut off point where a more severe angle makes little difference. But as time goes on, the more severe angle will be more productive.

The ability to multi-task is obvious and great.

What if your ligs have little to no potential to gain? Would the stress revert back to the tunica? I was talking to JT in PM and he told me BTC hits his tunica fairly well.

Does this make sense BIB?

bbs,

Sure. If your LOT is very low, and the ligs are taking little of the stress, then the tunica will be receiveing a lot of the stress in the BTC position. However, it would be easier to do SO or other upper angle hangs, and have all the stress on the tunica. It is just more efficient.

With a low LOT and hanging 9 lbs I’ll be hanging btc for a little while as you advised me(1 month from now). So, should I keep track on the time or on the weight?
I’ve read somewhere that your gains came when you passed 18 lbs or something. Is that right?

What’s your hanging routine now and your gains in the past?

Your hitting tunica or ligs?

Getting Fit,

I can’t answer for BIB, but I think gains have more to do with time instead of weight. You see hanging is a static process, which means gains come with higher amounts of time (per day) or the longer you’ve been hanging (your total time, IOW your hanging “career” so to speak). In essence, time works for you, and weight works against you, because eventually you will have to use increasingly higher and higher weights.

I come from a weigh-lifting/bodybuilding background where it is clearly the opposite. You want to lift the most amount of weight possible in the quickest time for best gains. It was very hard for me to make the switch. But I did, and others have too. You have to” break” your mind of trying to work “hard” and stop piling weight on.

Effective hanging is not hard work. You should not be like “man, what a work out!” The hardest thing for me/you/others to understand is when you are getting optimal work you shouldn’t feel a thing. Dare I say “optimal” hanging is easy? If you are feeling it, you have either reached fatigue due to the amount of TIME you’ve put in, or you are using way too much weight, which would obviously be a bad thing.

There was a guy on here awhile back named 2in2002, and he told me his goal was to gain the most using the least amount of weight possible. (But understand, he put his time in. I believe he gained like .75 inch in a month or so!)

This should be every hanger’s goal: To gain the most using the least amount of weight possible. But you have to pay your dues (time).

Question: Are you hanging the MAX amount of sets you can each day (safely) with the LEAST amount of weight possible? Notice the caps for emphasis. Like I said, this is the exact opposite of the weight room.

For example, I have posted BPFSL gains while only using 3.75 lbs. This is a good thing. I’ll tell you exactly how much after it is cemented, but understand this much its fairly rapid as I’ve only been back a few weeks to a month. Another example, the times that I’ve piled the weight on, and tried to work “hard” have resulted in loss of sensation/numbness/and array of other bullshit problems that I don’t wish on anyone. I’ve done it three times now. The result, I have to take TIME off, delaying my big dick even longer. See, it all comes back to time.

Another question for you and other hangers: will you let TIME work for you, or against you??

Oh, and to answer your question, I have a low LOT like you, actually I have no LOT, it’s like 6 o clock, so I hit OTS exclusively. I aim to get 2 hrs hang time morning and night.

Hope this helps. Peace.

BBS,

I appreciate your reply. Sounds very clear. I’ll slow down thing from now on. Shit, sometimes I have so much thinks to do I just can’t hang more than 3 20min sets a day. Maybe I’ll change my daily schedule to have more time for pe.

Actually, when I’m able I do 5 20min sets and get a little fatigued.Safely, of course that comes in first place for me.
I also will let time work for me.

Thanks BBS,
GF

bigblackstick, did I read your post right? You’re putting in 4 hours of hang time per day? What kind of space intervals do you utilize between your sets, and I assume the 4 hours includes the time inbetween sets as well?

No. that’s four hours “hang” time. Not rest time. That means each two hours of hang time will take up a 3 hour block. I try to one three hour block right when I wake up before work, and one three hour block before I go to bed.

I don’t want to be PEing forever. My goal is to “retire” from hanging at the end of this year. I’m getting my bigger dick then getting on with my life.

Right on. So, how long are your sets and rest intervals in each block?

bbs gave some great answers. Hard to beat. I don’t really know what you mean by keeping track of time and weight. You use a low amount of weight to begin, and add weight slowly, 1-2 lbs per week, until you reach a weight that will give you fatigue within a couple of sets. Then, you reduce the weight as needed in succeeding sets. As bbs explained so well, you do not fight the weight. Just relax and let it work.

>I’ve read somewhere that your gains came when you passed 18 lbs or something. Is that right?<

I started gaining at 7.5 lbs, but most of my gains, and quickest gains, came while I was in the 17.5-22.5 lb range. However, that is totally irrelevant to anyone else. Everyone is completely different.

I currently use a 10 min on 5 min off scheme, which oddly enough when I run the numbers, saves me 5 mins (from the usual 20 min on 10 off) to reach one hour of hang time. Don’t ask me why….

Another thing I thought of last night: Before you add weight, try adding another set. It wil probably do more for you in the long run. Peace.

I got it!

Having a 6:30/7:00 LOT sucks. I’m doubtful about the fatigued feeling after hanging sessions. I pretty much fell a skin soreness on the pubic area.

Being uncut makes the wrapping/attaching way more difficult and have to work a little more on this.

Any suggestions?

supersizeme,

As I understood, if I got it right, hes putting in 6x20min sets(that would be 2 hours) and 6x10min breaks( 1hour) two time a day.
Hard work bbs!!!
I’d say there’s no way you couldn’t reach your goals man!! [buttrock]
