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?
