Designing Maximum Gain Rate Hanging ADS Routine and Progress Log

Starting Info and Discussion:
6.5 BPEL x 4.75 MEG
7.0 BPFSL

My Routine:
Everything will be done with a hanger and an ADS. With these I will create 5 categories and track time and weight for each:
1. Hanging downward (BTC - target the ligs)
2. Hanging forward/upward (SO/OTS - target tunica)
3. ADS high tension downward
4. ADS high tension upward
5. ADS low tension upward (OTS, just enough tension to keep it fully elongated while it heals, I can use this while I sleep)

Considering that my tunica seems to be relatively tough and my LOT is average or low at 8:00, I am thinking I should primarily focus on the tunica so exercises 2, 4, and 5 above, and then just occasionally do some ligs with 1 and 3, as ligs take longer to heal so I can work them intermittently. I will treat the hanging as the set, the ADS high tension as the superset, and the ADS low tension as the recovery, an analogy for gym goers. Also, I will be following a “more is more” approach when it comes to ADS tunica work, so numbers 4 and 5.

Because of the variability of BPEL from day to day, my primary measurement of growth will be BPFSL, which looks to be on the dot 7.0” and varies very little between measurements. If I can get BPFSL to 8.0”, then I will know without a single doubt for sure that I am growing.

Unfortunately, for girth work usually jelqing is prescribed on the forums, and I’ve found that jelqing amongst other girth exercises increases my vascularity greatly. To avoid this I’m keeping girth work out of my regimen. Some senior members on the forums seem to suggest doing length first for a long time and then girth anyway.

Sounds like a plan. What is your method for ADS upwards/downwards? Also how long are your sets and how many days on/off? Good luck!

For ADS upward and downward is wrapping the attachment to the knee/neck when lying down face-up in bed.

I’m on my 3rd week now of PE. So far I’ve done 18 hours of ADS my first week and 12 hours ADS second week. No off days those two weeks, and did at least 1 hour and at most 6 hours on any given day. I had what some might call “newbie” gains but it felt very temporary and superficial, I would know because I had done manual stretches about a year ago and the half inch I gained in a couple weeks from that all disappeared fully soon after stopping, it felt very much the same this time.

This third week I switched to purely hanging, and that’s when I noticed the greatest difference. Despite putting in only a fraction of the time, about 45 min everyday for 7 days, very quickly my flaccid hang increased drastically, at least doubled from its previous mass. No EL or BPFSL differences though yet. Is it possible I’m gaining if only my flaccid hang is changing and not even BPFSL? The weight I’m using is 7lbs downward hang

Tentatively, I can say I am gaining non-newbie gains with only vac hanging. Measured BPEL for the first time in two weeks, and I’ve gained between 0.25”-0.5” length. The ruler was showing close to 7.0” BPEL. It’s hard to pinpoint whether it is lig or tunica gains, because I started doing tunica the last 4 days or so while I gave the ligs a bit of a rest after I started having a slight but consistent pain when tugging the ligs. I will to start tracking everything more carefully going forward.
