LOT Theory - ligs/tunica

[lelouch Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close lelouch]

Hello everyone, Im sure this has been asked many many times but i tried a search but couldn't find any answers.

I am currently on a squeeze/hang routine 3 times a week and hanging straight down, this is for stretching the ligaments which i am aware of, but looking back at the loss of tug theory posted on JP''s routine I have a low loss of tug straight down, would this mean my ligs are maxed and it would be pointless to carry on hanging down?

Would hanging over to the right/left over the leg or straight up/over shoulder be the better option to maximize length gains?

Regards!

Hi lelouch

Have you read this by blink?

If i were you though i wouldn't completely give up downward hanging because if you haven't cemented your downward hanging gains and then you stopped downward hanging you would lose all of those hard earned gains. So to be on the safe side still include a bit of downward hanging even if you decide to hang in other directions.

Best of luck!

i dont agree with the LOT theory because my LOT is 7 o'clock, but when i get an erection my angle is 11 o'clock and cant be pushed past 10'oclock which shows theres room to stretch the ligs, but the LOT theory suggests i have little or nothing to gain or have i misunderstood LOT theory?

For hangers like lelouch the lot theory is probably important.

But you don't hang so don't bother with it. Btw my LOT is 6 (according to bib i'm a hardgainer) but i still gained half inch in my first 3 months. So like i say don't even think about it because like you lots of guys don't believe in it.

Do you hang schlittle?

I have read that guide, but currently under mecoach program so will consult with Big Al.
I feel i get best stretch when it is straight out when sitting on my chair, but the chair is cushioning some of the weight which i dont know how to avoid.
Currently hanging at 2.75kg.

Sorry mate i don't hang.

It's a pity Saiyan hasn't been on here for the past few weeks because i'm pretty sure he hangs and if i remember rightly when i last read his log he never hangs down at present. I think he's concentrating on his tunica and he has made an homemade pulley system.

Maybe check his log to see if it gives you some tips. I know he takes lots of pics so maybe he has a picture of his homemade pulley system.

Later edit: i've looked at Saiyans attachments and if you scroll down to december 1st 2009..tunica hanging 7.5lbs on a pulley system..plus the tunica hanging photo beneath you can see a close up of his chair and the workings of his homemade pulley.

'I have read through saiyans thread, may look into this pulley system but will do so once i have maxed out on current angle.

Thanks for the responses.
