LOT Theory: Why Use a "Debunked" Theory?
LOT theory was debunked to some extent in terms of predicting suspensory ligament stretch gains. However, I am not using LOT theory in that context. Perhaps I should just use a different theory; however I guess it was easier to work in the context of something that was already created.

The Whole Point
I'm just using LOT Theory as a way to determine the angle at which your penis exits your pelvis.

9 O'Clock - Your penis exits completely straight out
8 O'Clock - Your penis exits slightly down
7 O'Clock - Your penis exits at a downward angle
6 O'Clock - Your penis exits completely straight down

You can probably figure this out by looking in a mirror. However, if you're not sure, reading LOT theory & using the MIrror & Palpitation Tests will help you figure out where your LOT is to begin with. While hanging over the months (and possibly years) to come, you'll be slowly changing your LOT angle.

Since you will be spending months, or possibly even years hanging, you should probably make sure you know how to track your progress in terms of maximizing your suspensory ligament gains. In other words, you need to know where your LOT currently is, and know how to recognize when your LOT reaches 6 O'Clock.

Prevent Suspensory Ligaments From Becoming a Limiting Factor
I believe LOT theory is helpful for determining your progress in stretching your suspensory ligaments. As mentioned in other threads, there is a theory that until you completely maximizing your suspensory ligament gains they will remain a limiting factor for Tunica Albuginea gains. In other words, very tight skin can be a limiting factor because tight skin may interfere with the application of force to the internal structures of your penis. In a conceptually similar way, the suspensory ligaments can serve as a limiting factor as well when you're attempting to stretch the strongest internal structure of your penis (the Tunica Albuginea).

The LOT theory thread & the Mirror and Palpation Tests can help you determine what your LOT currently is. Effectively, these tests will help you determine the angle at which your penis exits your body. Perhaps there are methods better than LOT theory that can determine the angle at which your penis exits the pelvis. For now, this is the only existing method I'm aware of.

How to Maximize Suspensory Ligament Stretch Gains
Hang at any lower angle such as SD or BTC until your package shifts to 6 O'clock (your penis points straight down). Even after you reach 6 O'clock, keep hanging SD or BTC for a month or two longer to make sure you've truly maximized the deformation of your ligaments. If you start with your penis naturally exiting your pelvis it is still recommended that you spend a month or two at SD or BTC just to confirm your suspensory ligaments are fully stretched to their maximum extent.

Your First Angle of Attack: SD / BTC (Lower Angles)
Everyone's first angle of attack should be SD or BTC regardless of starting LOT (whether its 9 or 6). The reasons for this are explained above.

How to Know When You've Maximized Suspensory Ligament Stretch Gains
The idea here is that ever hanger should attempt to stretch his suspensory ligaments all the way down to 6 O'Clock & fully maximize his suspensory ligament gains. At this point, the hanger will be ready for Tunica Albuginea deformation.

As mentioned above, even though LOT is fairly easy to determine you may want to really confirm you know what angle you're starting at (9,8,7 or 6 O'clock). Once again, the whole point of this is to just track your progress on suspensory ligament stretch gains. And, in case you're still not clear on this, we don't want the suspensory ligaments preventing you from fully stretching your Tunica.

More hanging related threads:
I have put together a number of related hanging threads to help guide you through the process of learning about hanging. Start with hanging 101 & Blink2000's Hanging Tips. Reading through those threads will help you understand how to hang and give you some basic theories to help you start figuring out which hanging angles to use, how to reach fatigue, etc.

The hanging theory threads are mostly geared towards helping you understand where your penis currently exits your pelvis, and how to fully maximize suspensory ligament stretch gains (BTC & SD). Once you've maximized your suspensory ligament gains you can move to higher angles such as SU & OTS. Eventually, once you feel ready, or once you start to plateau with standard hanging angles (SD, SU, OTS, BTC, SD, UTL, OTL, etc), you will be ready to start using fulcrums, such as the RSDT.

Each time you change angles, remember to do maintenance hanging at your previous angle until those respective previous target tissues are cemented & heal in a permanent, elongated state. Once you reach your ultimate length goals, be sure to do some maintenance hanging to maintain your hanging gains while work on your girth gains.
