Rocket, is it difficult to hang 40 pounds for 10 minutes due to pain? Don't do pain. Pain from
hanger or wrap problems should not be ignored or injury is sure to result. It should be easy and enjoyable to hang if you have good wrap and
hanger and took long enough to get to whatever
weight. I started at 8 lb and worked up in 1/2 pound increments after five
hanging days at each half pound. That's too fast for a lot of people, so another way to measure is five days or until I couldn't feel any tiredness or soreness. Actually at higher
weights I did more than five days at a
weight because I varied type of hang more, like su, sd, so, all around, bundling.
I think Bib said he didn't hang beyond 43 or 44 pounds. It's like gas mileage, less
weight or fuel is better per mile or inch gained. I think BiB's style was hang heavy until fatigued, then do a lot of sets at lower
weight.
I'm always experimenting. I cannot do a useful set with qi-gong noose with noose set at glans rather than between sac and body like qi-gongers do it. I can only hang 70 pounds for a minute with a noose and a cloth wrap, or just about time to take a picture. Useless except for lig pops. I use a comfortable
hanger up to 155 pounds, and then I can do six sets of a minute or two two minute sets, again probably not worth a lot but I put several months into
hanging 90-155 pounds for four to six one minute sets. I also hung from a pipe and lifted one foot off the ground, and both feet now and then, short sets there, too, like a minute. Sometimes I get a good soreness but a lot of time went into lig stretching and some lig pips now and then. I am thinking maybe inner p comes out after suspensory stretching.
Lately I've backed off 30% on
weight so I can do 25+ sets(minutes) a day once or twice a week. It's mentally hard to get there more than once or twice a week. At 30% less than max
weight I can pulse the
weight, using my legs. 25 minutes is conventional, though in one minute sets. Pulsing is probably extremely dangerous but at reduced
weight I can feel when a pulse is right about good stress level not about to snap something.
This is experimental, after getting stuck at 42 pounds with BiB
hanger and 20 minute sets. No results worth documenting. Lots of bruising.
