For those who hang/hung or know anatomy I have a serious question about ligaments.
In theory, ligaments can indeed strengthen over time. Yes it will take longer for them to heal/repair then muscle will due to the circulatory system (blood flow). In fact It can be months before any signs of any strengthening. This is where it leads to my questions: Since I start hanging(3+ years) I’ve read and been told that if you do not achieve Creep while hanging or sporadic with my handing routine all it will do is strengthen my ligaments to a point I would achieve no gains or unless I hang a ridiculous amount of weight over a long time period. So is there any factual science research behind this? Or even PE’ers that had this problem, meaning they made virtually no gains from hanging even with upping weights bi weekly and being consistent?
I bring this up due to the fact I was on and off while hanging in the past and curious if this strengthened my ligs or even if my current routine is not producing enough creep vs strengthening.
