Oh, and I would call it the pound*minute theory not the pound per minute theory, since you are multiplying, (not dividing) pounds used by minutes of use.
Thank you all gentlemen using your time to read my thread.
Whatever I say is just the result of my experience which is as important as a grain of sand on a beach.
You are right, but, sorry, English is not my first language. You may see it this way: ” How much weight do you have to hang per (Latin) each minute of your workout”.
About your first point, I must say that very few people could state they did not gain anything by wearing an extender at a two pounds traction for 12 hours a day for a few months. The point is that very few persons actually managed to make it: it’s harder than one think as it burns like hell. Indeed, I was just verifying right now, that wearing a 2 pounds ADS for 8 hours and hanging 4 pounds for two hours would yield just about a 1440 PPM, that is the required amount for a growth of about an inch in a year (if the statements of stretchers’ vendors are true).
Obviously a few jelqs and pump sessions and other amenities wouldn’t hurt the process.
The point I am trying to make is that too often we miss the results as we try to achieve unattainable goals, such is hanging twelve or more pounds each day, for hours a day, without getting injuries and without losing our jobs and families and friend.
At four pounds, one can easily make two 30 minutes sessions in the morning and two in the night, and wearing a two pounds ADS for two 4 hour sessions is completely feasible.
I’ll let you know my progress
