Thanks for the kind words / encouragement Vulcan, Batwoman, Aidan, and Unita.
Decon Break: 85 days (that's 12x weeks, & nearly 3x months!--I stopped PE in october due to a PE injury, then a shoulder injury prevented me from coming back to PE).
Routine Today:
Just 2x sets of 2.5lbs, 20 minutes each.
I'm just going to focus on being consistent / reaching good fatigue, etc without getting injured. My minor injury became more of a problem than it had to be since it was followed by a shoulder injury (I believe I had an overuse injury, bursitis related in my shoulder).
I finally lifted weights at the gym for the first time in months also. I started with very light weight, but it still made me really sore (I'm definitely out of shape now). I think I'll get back in shape quickly though because I was only out a few months, and I just spent 6 months in a row before that working out. Right now I'm going through some difficult life challenges, so I have been unable to spend much time on the forum (one of those challenges is finishing my grad school applications among other things). At least I'll try and report my own PE progress, and I still do respond to PMs. I'll be more active as soon as I can, but for now I can't do muchLast edited by blink2000; 01-26-2011, 06:27 AM.Comment

It will probably take me 2-3 months just to get back to a good number of sets / and a decent amount of weight. I'm trying to decide whether I'll measure at all since I don't expect significant gains until I'm doing several sets and decent weight consistently, and daily.
I just don't want to discourage myself (I am sure I lost progress, but I'm not sure how much).
Anyway, I'm back on track, hopefully I can follow through to the end this time.Comment

On the other hand, measurements now will let you know how much you gain in the next few months!
Welcome back, blink. Be sure to check in on the Mod forum too!
Glad to hear your shoulder is better.Comment

Today
1x set @ 4.5lbs.
10-15m jelqs (I'm not sure on the time)
15m warmup/ 20m warmdown
I noticed the hanger was twisting, so I just added weight. At 4.5lbs the hanger stopped twisting. I decided one set was enough for the day, then did 10m of jelqs.Comment

Hey blink what are your thoughts about PE Wieghts??Comment
-
PE Weights? Those are effectively just a light ADS; In my opinion it's supplemental, not a core exercise / device. Some guys combine golf weights or monty's PE weights (what you must be referring to) with hanging, just for anti-turtling. I think split sets are probably more effective, and probably enough overall, but if you don't have the time, you can use an ADS as a substitute (although in my opinion its an inferior substitute).
Routine
Yesterday I did just 1x set, 2.5lbs.Comment

Plus I wan't to start light and then gradually build up my intensity.
Thanks for the input you are gettting rep point!Comment

Thanks Danner
I know I called an ADS "Inferior" to split sets, but I don't mean to imply they are not effective. I definitely think an ADS helps improve results (by keeping you in an elongated state / anti-turtling). I just thought I should clarify.
