I get the same thing!
I went ahead and made the Captain’s wrench about a week and half ago, been using it ever since. Great little hanger, very comfortable. I’ve used 3 so far, the grip, the bib starter and now the wrench. I’m getting a really good flaccid hang form the wrench like I use to get with the grip only without the problems.
Currently hanging 7 lbs, 3- 20min sets with 15 min jelk set afterwards. Yesterday I put the hanger a little further toward the base to help with swelling ahead of the hanger and it did seem to work better. I think I will alternate between mid shaft hanging and toward the base more to aliviate the swelling problem. Trying to slowly work up to higher weights. I get what appears to be a swollen vein on the right side of my unit ahead of the gripper.
Anyways, my Lot is between 6:00 and 7:00 best I can tell, but I’m going ahead and hanging SD hoping to squeeze all I can from my ligs. I think I should be hanging both SO or OTS to hit the tunica but want to try this for a while, maybe a month.
Thing is, I don’t feel any lig soreness that I’ve heard others talk about, even after 3 solid sets! Maybe need to get a little higher in weight?? I’m getting a good lig stretch from hanging and using an ads thru out the day but no lig soreness. Do you guys feel this after hanging? Just wondering.
Thanks
