  • Could a hanger take a look at my approach?

    Hey Everyone, I was wondering if anyone would comment on my hanging routine I have started. I have been PE’ing for a while on and off (couple of years now). Took a break and lost some gains. I hang straight down. The thing is I am lying down with the weight over the top of a chair (which probably kills some of the weight but if I consistently do this the weight will still be progressing). So my 5 lbs is probably less.
    This is what I have done so far:
    Week 1 – @5 lbs 10 hours total for the week
    Week 2 – 5.5 lbs 4 hours total for the week (hectic week)
    Week 3 – 5.5 lbs 12 hours for the week
    This is what I plan to do:
    *15% increase in weight every 10 hours of hang time (basically once a week)
    *Take a day off after reaching 10 hours before increasing the weight
    *Of course I’ll be paying attention to fatigue vs. pain and will lower the weight if needed

    One last question, has anyone have success with progressive weight hanging? The way that malehanger used to do. Basically start at max weight and hit fatigue early then drop weight for next sets. 3-4 sets for 15 mins.
    Current stats:
    BPSFL: 19.0cm (7.48in)
    BPEL: 18.0cm (7.09in)
    EG: 13.0cm (5.12)

    As far as I know people have good reviews on Progressive hanging. I mean it make sense to me too...

    Good work so far. Good plan. There is no limit in the sets you can do other than your time free. I wouldn't take a complete day off if I were you..At least do one or two sets just to have done it you know?

    Great starting length.

      Thanks Vulture, I think the complete day off may be counter productive as well. I think I'll add the weight I said every 10 hours until I hear more comments on the progressive weight hanging method.

        I have experienced great gains via hanging progressively. I took a couple of months off to work on smooth muscle this summer. Defiantly got an EQ of 10 before starting the progressive hanging again.
        PE is a lot like sex. First you have to find your technique, rotate your routine, and then plan on it taking a while. Then you will find satisfaction.

          Your game plan sounds good, just try to be steady weekly, I know it is hard and it sounds like your on the right path.
