Safe to start hanging?

Alright, I know I’ve read a lot of posts/threads where people say to wait at least a month (or 3) before considering hanging/other advanced exercises.

The reason for this thread is the following:
I’ve been PE’ing for a year, according to the calendar. However, it’s really been like the following (due to scheduling issues).

January [2005] - Full month of PE (Newbie Routine)
February [2005] - Full month of PE (Newbie Routine)
March [2005] - Full month of PE (Newbie Routine)
April [2005] - Half month of PE (Newbie Routine)
May [2005] - 2/3 month of PE (Newbie Routine)
June [2005] - 2x 30 second ‘upward’ stretches most every time ‘I took a leak’
July [2005] - 2x 30 second ‘upward’ stretches most every time I ‘took a leak’
August [2005] - no PE
September [2005] - Full month of PE (Newbie Routine)
October [2005] - 1/3 month of PE (Newbie Routine)
November [2005] - Full month of PE (Modified Newbie Routine)
December [2005] - 1/2 month of PE (Modified Newbie Routine)
January [2006] - 4x 60 second stretches most every time ‘I took a leak’ (2x ‘upward’, 2x ‘downward’)

Newbie Routine:
- After the first 6 weeks, ~1:30-2:00 hours jelqing
- After the first 6 weeks, ~30-45 minutes stretching (rotating clockwise, 2x ‘upward’ and 2x ‘downward’)

Modified Newbie Routine:
- DLD Blasters Routine
- 15 minutes stretching (rotating clockwise, 2x ‘upward’ and 2x ‘downward’)
- 40 minutes jelqing

As you can see it seems kind of sporadic almost, though I really would’ve rather not had it this way. Scheduling conflicts, etc. led to the unfortunate sporadicalness.

Now for the question: is it okay for me to start hanging?
~Any answers would be greatly appreciated! :cool:

IMO yes, Start with low weights.

Thanks for the reply(!).

Any other’s with an opinion on this?
Any and all are greatly appreciated! :cool:

I think so too Endow. Just take your time, don’t get in a hurry with adding weight.

You can make some good gains using low weights, Piet has kept me on track with me hanging. At the moment am still only hanging about 3 pounds. And I think im still seeing gains with this. If i hit a wall and stop gaining i may use shock treatment to try and force some extra gains but that is for the future.

Good luck

Hmm, alright then. It looks like I’ll start soon after my hanger arrives (should be getting here tomorrow).

Thanks a bunch kristian69, ThunderSS, and Kesman (and anybody else after this post who may want to put in their 2 cents) for your time in replying! :cool:
