has anyone ever hung with super heavy weight in short intervals like 30sec hang/ 1 minute rest/ repeat?

Heavy hanging has its merits but you MUST be conditioned for it. You will cause serious damage by not working up to such weight.oneday;375814 said:with stretching it seems like the 30second pull would be equal to 50lb or so of weight. has anyone ever hung with super heavy weight in short intervals like 30sec hang/ 1 minute rest/ repeat?

Its like the HIT principles or static contraction principles of weight training, which all work great. You target the area with the most intensity for a short duration to failure and than the set is terminated.

doublelongdaddy;376270 said:That is fine. 10 pounds is a lot of weight. Don't judge your weight by others, gage it by your gains.
Dashdeming;376409 said:DLD has it right on...... Heavy has it's place but you have to work up to it and it has to be done effectively. In other words, heavy hanging is really mostly effective for length primarily from the ligs. This is because as the weight goes up most tend to move the hanger further back because the head and tunica really take a beating otherwise. So, as DLD says, 10 pounds can be a lot of weight. It all depends on where you are in conditioning and the METHOD YOU USE. I have been using a fulcrum as of late and my weights are in the 16 pound range for that and, when set up properly, that is a lot of weight going fulcrum style. Dig?
