Hang light, then heavy later in the day or vice versa?

I am really talking about manual stretching and then hanging 15lb or more later on. I can do manual pretty much anytime when I get home but only want to hang for 1hr max, probably only 30-40mins most days. So should I hang first and manually stretch after the session while still a bit fatigued or vice versa?

Most hangers construct their sets starting with max weight sets until fatigue and then drop down in weight. If the force of your manual stretches(what kind of “weight” does this feel like?) is less than the force of the hanging, then the theory would dictate hanging first followed by stretching.

Thats what I was thinking, just wanted to be sure. I stretch about 5-10lb manually, I can do more but I tire easier. I stretched last night and then hanged and then stretched again. It felt like a much better workout after the hanging.

You can stretch much more than that, unless some kind of pain, soreness or grip problem is preventing you from pulling hard.

I agree, I can pull more than 10lb but I cannot sustain the hold for a long time. Has anybody got figures on what they can pull? You could use a fish scales attached your belt. Wonder if extended manual pulls are any good for bodybuilding.

Hmm, well I can hammer curl about 30kg with one arm, but as I say above, other things come into play which will prevent your full strength being exerted on your poor dick-head.
