Dash would love to know what your current routine is and your current stats.
Your my inspiration at the moment for starting hanging again.
I'm using a vacuum hanger and plan on starting out doing one 20 minute set using 10lbs on a 6 day 1 off basis.
This is the same as you did in the start but you used 8lbs back than.
I than plan on moving the weight up 5lbs every 4 months so at my 12th month I will be at 25lbs [you were at 24lbs after 12 months].
I'll try to add a second set in when I can as often as I can eachday after the first month [get me settled] like you did.
This is my plan of attack at the moment. Will be hanging straight down, thats all.
I think I can do it, but CONSISTENCY is the key and I must be PATIENT.
I've made so many half arsed attempts at going for length, but now I WANT IT and I really do want it ... length is what I want more than anything at the moment and this routine [nearly like yours] will get me to that.
I'll measure once per month.
Also I will add this for those who read this. I think some may be getting confused when they read this thread and think they should jump in at 20lbs or more when that isnt the case and if you read the 1st post, Dash states he started with 8lbs
I started at 8 pounds about 15 months ago and then moved up to 24 with-in 12 months. I hust recently moved up to 33 pounds so it will be several months before I move up more
so you MUST start LIGHT and build up every 4-6 months in weight.
I feel its worked so well for Dash because #1 Hes been CONSISTENT, #2 Its not overdoing it ... ONE 20 minute session per day for 6 days, #3 He's building the weight up SLOWLY as its needed with time, just like with body exercise.
I've seen many members hammer set after set of hanging weights and see little to no gains and thats because they are OVERDOING IT ... more isnt better, and Dash is living proof of this. He didnt gain all those inches from HEAVY HANGING alone, but slow progression of poundage increase over time ... but my point is that it started at 8lbs.
Start light and build up guys, I'm doing that.
