Hanging Position Questions

I have been doing PE since January 2020. After manuals seemed to plateau after a .5 inch length gain, I moved to hanging in late August.

Since I work from home, I simply hang at my desk. So I am sitting up on the front of the chair so that the weights hang down. Is this effective or should I be standing up?

Also, for between-the-cheeks (BTC) hanging - I simply don’t understand how to do this. Are you vertical, horizontal? I just can’t visualize how one would do this.

Any guidance on these two questions is much appreciated.

Here’s some good info to review. It also has links to other threads which may be of use.

Hanging 101

Effective weight hanging is all about achieving fatigue. Too often men like to overcomplicate things. I’ve made very respectable gains while doing 90% of all my weight hang work while standing. I do however follow up each weight hanging session with a variety of hand stretches in all directions for 5 -10 minutes, doing so allows me to take full advantage of the fatigue induced by my weight hanging session and get that extra stretch to my flaccid without having to contort myself into weird positions while hanging.

Additionally when you start getting up to a weight where you can no longer go any heavier you have two other options to crank up the intensity of your weight hang training without needing to use more weight. Those two options are the Fulcrum and the Bundle…. both are advanced PE weight hanging exercises not meant to be done by a rookie or newbie.

I read the Hanging 101 post. Yes it talks about BTC, but it doesn’t describe how to actually do it from a chair.

Many including me has cut the chair in middle. Bib used to do by sitting on edge but that may cause back problems.
There are pics around, need to search more.

For BTC, I sit toward the end of my chair and put my legs up on the desk in front of me. That way the weight pulls directly down on the ligaments. You can actually feel the ligament being pulled from a few inches below your belly button to the shaft.
