With this setup, what results is actually a
double fulcrum action. Not only does the
shaft have a gentle bend in it, placing great stress on the
top side of the tunica (the septum in particular), but also the skids of the
hanger attempt to
swing down and into the fulcrum. With the hard plastic in position, the skids are firmly halted, and you get greater stress on the
top of the shaft. The stretch is
incredible.
The position of your butt on the chair seat matters greatly. You can scoot down in the seat, with your pelvis tilted back, and the
hanger sticking almost straight out, with the
weights hanging almost straight down. This results in a great
double fulcrum situation, which can even stress the
ligs somewhat.
Another great thing: While in the above position, with your butt toward the edge of the chair, and the
hanger sticking out, and the
weights hanging straight down;
you can turn the hanger to either side,
a very slight twist,
to further stress the sides of the septum in a dedicated fashion. The force of the
weight pulling the skids into the hard plastic will keep the
hanger in place, with this small turn.
Or you can scoot back in the chair, sitting up straight, with the
hanger pointed down, and have a
greater bend in the shaft, but a bit less double fulcrum action. Either way, it is a great stretch.
