LOT, hanging, angle question

Hello,

I’ve just started hanging using the Capt’s Wench. I’ve been hanging 5 pounds for 15 minutes then a 15 minute break, repeat, etc. For a total of 2 hours hang time per day for just over a week. I’ve been hanging at about a 90 degree angle. After looking at LOT theory I think I may need to use a different angle. I can still see a little tugback at about 7:30 and seem to lose it at 7:00. So I should be hanging straight up, right? Does this also mean that my gains will take longer and be less pronounced?

Thanks

Most of members will tell you “forget about LOT”, I don’t believe either.

Thanks for the reply. Assuming that LOT is not useful, what angle should a beginner start at? Should the angle change over time? I’ve read that rest days are necessary, five days hanging and two days rest. Should those rest days be consecutive or separated?

Thankyou

You can read my hanging routine and angle here: New to hanging. Please help.

I’m doing 6 days on 1 day off, but if you just start hanging, read this: Most Important Hanging Threads

BTW, have you done the newbie routine? Jumping directly to hanging for a newbie is a no-no.
