Hanging: standing vs sitting

[aztempe123 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close aztempe123]

I'm enjoying my new LG Hanger. I feel very confident when Standing. Although I can also sit, for whatever reason it feels like it pulls differently if I'm sitting at the edge of a chair. (Even more different yet if my but is on edge of chair and I lean back).

Question: in theory should the pull/force feel the same if I'm standing up vs sitting down?

(I thought that both positions would basically be in the Straight Down position, but maybe not?)

I know what you mean..I feel a good pull standin but when I sit it feels like it pulls maybe a little more. And when I sit to the edge and lean back I can really feel it pulling.all 3 have a different pull. I like to sit at the edge and lean back myself I can feel it really pull. Cool how the angles change the way it pulls..I can't wait to do more advance stuff seeing that I'm new at this.

Sitting with your butt on the edge of the chair, especially with your legs propped up, will give you much more pull and stress on your ligs, it's called BTC hanging. This is a whole different feeling than stress on your tunica alone. Stretching out the ligs typically produces the easiest gains for most who hang and should be what you should target first.

OK, to be clear:

It is truly different to Stand vs sit at the edge of a chair?

(I figured the lean back approach was moving towards a BTC hang, but for some reason thought sitting on edge of a chair should be similar to standing).

The lean back approach is more of a BTC position. However there is a difference between what you will feel sitting at the edge of the chair and standing, depending on your posture in the chair, the angle of the pull can be quite different. If you are sitting with your back straight up perpendicular to the seat there may be little difference. If you sit normally like anyone else, you will feel a difference.
