Hanging Fatigue

This is a good thread for new hangers out there.

This thread is awesome SNM. Thanks for bumping it! I highly recommend reading this thread for anyone out there thinking about getting into hanging.

I too have made the hanging newbie mistakes that most people do thinking that more weight = quicker gains but it just doens’t work that way. Now I believe I’m starting to get into real hanging the way it’s supposed to be done and this thread just confirms my belives. :)

I was just looking at some of my favorites and thought I would bump some to the top and it might help

This is a awesome read. All hangers should read this.

Two thumbs up… :thumbs: :thumbs:

I have omething to say:

I would say that hanging with moderate weights is good for gains, but the best way to gain seems to be heavy weights, and then not letting it retract by using and ADS.

This has been a nice read, what a wonderful way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon.

BBS,
Are you still with us buddy, how are you doing?

Old thread good for a bump. Anyone got anything new to add in the past 13 years lol. Never got a clear definition of fatigue throughout the whole thing. Unless it’s a slight pain or discomfort you feel after the fact near the pubic bone and feel it throughout the day, not when you are hanging.

That soreness is a good indicator you’ve done the sort of damage that will lead to gains. If you search around enough, you’ll find lots of info on identifying fatigue.

Bib experienced fatigue in the context of his own situation, which was 5-6 hours per day in the hanger. 30-40 hours per week.

So imagine a weight that you could hang for one set no problem, but if you had to hang that weight for 35 hours per week, you would be unable to continue at some point. That point is fatigue.

It’s also the feeling of controlled micro damage to the target tissues.

It’s also the state of being able to stretch the next limiting factor because the last one is already fatigued.

It gets a lot easier to feel fatigue with experience.

Thanks
