But is ok to add secondary angles or is best to stick to an angle and move to another when you don`t gain in BPFSL ? because I`m a little confused right now. Thanks
Congratulations on some great gains :)
I think a secondary angle is a necessity.
For example, BTC & SD as primary and secondary angles would work fine. Another example is OTS (alternating right & left shoulder), then going to SU (straight up) if you need to complete an odd number of sets. Or you could do something similar with UTL (under the leg); i.e. alternative right & left, then go to SD or BTC for an odd number of sets.
The idea of divide & conquer is to focus on targeting the same tissues to generate sufficient consistent fatigue to permanently deform, stretch, and/ or cause mitosis, etc in your tissues (i.e. any kind of growth).
Even once you plateau at a particular angle (e.g. let’s say you went 8 months at BTC / SD and you want to change angles), you still need to do some maintenance at your old angle (e.g. one set per day or a few sets per week), just to maintain deformation in your penile tissues (prevent the tissues from retracting while healing, & maintain the deformation you worked so hard to create).
In my opinion: Yes, it's ok to add a secondary angle IF it's similar to your primary angle. In fact, generally you will need a secondary angle because sometimes you’ll be too sore to hang at your primary angle. As an example, if I’m too sore to hang BTC, my first choice is SD or any other similar angle where I can still handle some fatigue, but I can avoid losing progress as much as possible too (i.e. the idea is you want to target as similar tissues as possible with your secondary angle ).
