DAMN IT! I am fucking whimsical beyond belief!
I just read a thread in the
hanger's section that made me really think about what my new schedule would be like. It would arbitrary as Bib put it. There's not a real point to having a 1 on 1 off schedule. I think 6 on 1 off is best. I don't want to hang every day anyhow. I don't think I could do it every day for months at a time and then rest only a few days before starting back up again. 6 days 1 off is good for me.
Fuck that other schedule. This is a copy of the post...makes perfect sense.
bigjoe,
>So one should hang everyday, that is seven days a week? Will doing so hurt girth work recovery on a 5 on 2 off schedule<
If you can hang seven days a week, that it great. But there will come times when you have to take some time off. When you simply cannot handle any more stress for a day, etc. Days off are fine, but not because of some arbitrary schedule, but because you need it to prevent eminent injury. Controlled damage is good, injury is bad.
gorilla,
>there has to be some amount of
weight that the ligs just cannot grow stronger or accustomed to, correct? just to clarify, i'm sure the ligs cannot ever grow strong enough to hold 100lbs, right? what do you think is the limit? you said that you have hung 45lbs before, but do you think that the ligs could adjust to that
weight? there's gotta be a point when the
weight just wins, no matter how must resting or healing time is given.<
I feel confident that any connective tissue could grow, strengthen, and adjust to about any
weight within reason. But of course, the goal is not how much
weight you can hang, but growth. So the stress level needs to always be at least a tad past the point of stable tissues.
