No, stay away from hanging at the moment. Manual stretches are the main focus. If you want to max your gain, take a bit of a sacrifice and invest in the LengthMaster. Otherwise, it's all arm and hand strength for the tugging and pulling. Most of us gave up on manual arm-hand stretches due to the amount of exertions. But, the LengthMaster allows us to use only 20% of the energy and produces 100% of the result using fulcrum and lever methods. Why work harder when you can work smarter.
