ADS and pumping.
I don’t think I have ever gained anything from ADS itself, but I still do it because it may help maintain gains, and how could I prove or not prove that?
First I need to define ADS. The gains that I have got in the past were from hanging 2.6#’s four to six hours a day, some may consider that to be ADS, but I consider it to be the same as traction, but without an extender. I gained about 1.25”s EL from doing this over about a 9 month period. I kept doing it for another 3 months, but I didn’t gain anymore.
For some reason I didn’t show much flaccid gain, so I decided to do some pumping for mainly flaccid. I pump once every day and a half. I vary the vacuum for 5 minutes, then hold it for 15 minutes (5hg), and then vary it again for another 5 minutes. After that I do 5 minutes of Jelging. After this my flaccid hang is about an inch and a half more then normal, and it is at this point I wonder if a little ADS may be a good idea. I am just using a HTW, and a couple of golf weights held on with a smaller sized clamp. I can take it off and put it on in just a few seconds, so it’s not much trouble. I am just thinking it may help maintain some of the length I added from pumping, the way hangers use it to help hold their gains in place.
Does this make sense to any more experienced pumpers, or am I just wasting my time with the ADS?
