You've got a good size already VK. Keep working and you'll get where you want to be. I never thought your gains would go away while deconditioning. It's something we all worry about though.
As far as the erect hanging, although your method is quite different, I'm not so sure that I'd be brave enough to try it. There's some possibility that it will be a solid workout, but there's also the off chance that by utilizing a hanger that you could cause some sort of odd wieght displacement injury. What I'm saying really is be careful and I hope it works out for you. I'm going to get back into my manual length sessions this next week. I'll be starting off moderately and progress to a more intense program over the course of two weeks as usual. Keep this thread updated as you go through your cycle so that we can see if you change the setup and if you notice anything beyond your 1cm goal.
