I finally understand lot theory and I find it very interesting now that im consistently doing newbie stretches. It seems I have a 6:00 lot. For the last couple weeks I've been doing the newbie routine predominantly down and BTC b/c I heard its better to gain that way. Now that I discovered LOT, I will be focusing on all areas of stretching (straight out and upward). Do you guys believe in LOT? Have you made gains attacking your 6:00 LOT? Let me know, this would really motivate me.
The ultimate newbie question...help

I believe in LOT as the definition of it's name, "Loss of Tugback"....LOT will give you a specific measurement of where you lose the tug back or pull, this measurement, usually expressed as time (6:00, 7:00, 9:00, etc.) Where I differ is where it is determined that a low LOT means no more gains via the ligaments...there is no limit to gaining through ligamental stretching since we have the Behind the Cheeks Stretch, with this stretch ligament gains can go on indefinitely. However, I do advocate for men to hit every stretch position when stretching. Starting with upward, then outward, then downward and finally Behind, this will ensure you are making length gains from every conceivable angle.
The case for LOT is simply a case for measurement. Do not allow any theory to rain on your efforts. I have always said this and my advice has always helped men make supreme length gains, "hit every angle, just in case!"
Hey DLD, I know this might sound like a funny question but I am going to ask it anyways just to know where I stand.
When doing the stretching exercises of the the newbie routine right, do I have to do 3 sets of each ? Like for example 3 sets of stretching upwards center, right and left.
And if so should I do the 3 sets of each first then move on the to the others like center, center left, and center right?

Rotaries, 25 Cranks x 3.
Thanks DLD , I think I am going to follow that exact order that you wrote above and leave all the rotary cranks for last.
Just to be sure. When you Straight Up to the Center 3x 30 seconds , you mean do straight up to the center for 30 seconds, take a break and then two more straight up to the center for 30 seconds with another before the last one?
Like this, 30 straight up to the center, break, 30 straight up to the center, break, 30 straight up to the center and then move on to straight up to the right and do the exact same thing?
