Is this more for pain relief during a session or for actually changing the elasticity of the tissues?
For one, popping one advil an hour before a hanging session helps reduce the pain significantly, and there have been rumors of ibuprofen weakening collagenous tissues, however to avoid injury I don’t think any amount of pain relief should be used in hanging. It’d be way too easy to push tissues beyond the breaking point and wake up with persistant pain and an injury that will take week to heal and for you to be able to return to your max weight. It’s happened to me hanging BTC before.. I forget what we concluded it was called specifically, but it was something to the effect of a torn ligament. I had taken it too far when hanging using painkillers, not being fully tuned in to what was going on down there.
For two, If this substance doesn’t have any pain relieving properties, and in fact only weakens tissues, I’d think that different rules would have to be employed in hanging. You’d be able to stretch it to a point of elastic deformation very easily, but then you’d have to keep it there for some time (maybe using an ADS) to make permanent gains.
I’d personally offer some guinea pig-age. Where do I get the stuff?
