Why am I not feeling as much fatigue, although I increased the weight?
Currently I VAChang two hours daily, split into 1 hour sets. Usually one in the morning and one in the evening, no days off.
For the past month I’ve been hanging with 3500g/7.71lbs and feeling good fatigue and stretch as soon as I started hanging.
After the sensations stopped, I thought it was time to increase the weight and one month would on average be the time I spent on a given weight before moving on.
I would usually increase the weight with 125g/0.275lbs increments to milk it out as much as I could, however increasing it did nothing.
I then increased with an additional 125g/0.275lbs, so I’m now working with 3750g/8.26lbs. However the fatigue/stretch I feel is still quite limited.
I want to avoid jumping much higher than necessary in weight due to hitting the limits of VAC hangers sooner or later and increasing the risk of getting blisters.
I currently tripple layer tape with 3M micropore tape and wear a glans cap on top. Once I reach the 4000g/8.81lbs mark I plan to quadruple tape. 1 vertical, 1 horizontal and 1 diagonally going from left to right and vice versa.
Every other day I would also perform a 5 x 5 min double cable clamp prior to my 1st hanging sessions as shockloading and to work on girth gains.
Please chime in.
Should I increase the weight even more?
Should I at this point just invest in an compression hanger as blisters and VAC hanger limits are inevitable?
