million,
>BIB, did you have problems doing girth work and
hanging???<
Did I? When I was ignorant enough to try it, I surely did. First, you should do girth work after you have completed your length work. Then, if you are doing maintanence
hanging while going for girth, then do the
hanging first always. For me, the fluid buildup and skin irritation made
hanging impossible for at least a day.
>Seems today that my fluid buildup from the previous nights girth sessoin caused my head to go numb because of poor circulation, too much wrap,
hanger tightness, it was something. It turned very darm and was quite cold to the touch. Circulation restored right after the set was over, but I noticed that the area of skin right above the
hanger around the head has an excess of fluid buildup, so that is the reason why I said the above.<
You mean you did a full blown girth session the night before? Then tried to hang the next morning? Think about that a minute. You make shaft gains, either length or girth by deforming either the longitudenal or lateral bonds of the tunica. So the night before, you made the tears in the lateral bonds of the tunica, then the next morning, clamped a
hanger on the irritated, inflammed tissues, not only of the skin, but the tunica as well.
Now, think about something else. You broke lateral bonds in the tunica with the girth session. Then, less than 12 hours later, you broke the longitudenal bonds of the tunica with your length session. What are the odds that this deformation will heal correctly?
>I adjusted the hex nuts, which could be another issue, the
hanger is too wide now. I made the adjustment because I wasn't sure how the fit would be, so after the first set I kicked the nuts out a bit to see how it felt, and it was worse than before. I think it's partially the adjustment as well as the tightness of the
hanger. I was just wondering if you had issues with heavy girth work and
hanging in conjunction during your program, and how you worked through it???<
Yes, I think everyone has issues with length along with girth work. Just don't do it. When I went to maintanence
hanging, and started my girth routine, first I slowly built up the girth work as I was cutting back on the
hanging. Then, I did the
hanging first, and the girth work last. But it was still sometimes tough to do the
hanging.
>I took tonight off from girth work just to test the variables fresh tomorrow afternoon. I may end up having to wake up earlier in the morning and
hanging earlier, and getting the girth work in sometime in the early evening and having plenty of recovery time so this isn't an issue any longer....Is 12 hours enough time between sessions?<
If you do your
hanging first, and then the girth work immediately after, you will have more time to recover before your next
hanging session. Hopefully close to 20 hours. But you will still not be recovered enough to be as comfortable as if you were only
hanging.
More than anything, why not just wait till you reach your length goals to work on girth. It makes much more sense, and you will be more successful.
Further, the added mass of the tunica from girth work, whether you get any cross bonding within the tunica or not, will make length gains tougher to come by. The more mass of any substance will mean more bonds to break, which will mean more stress required to break those bonds.
Gains in girth come from internal tunica pressure, breaking lateral bonds because of this pressure. No matter the length of the tunica, it will require little if any added pressure to break the lateral bonds of a long tunica, vs a short tunica.
