Monday's Routine:
4.5 hours of hanging BTC at 5 lbs (total - 79.5 hours)
Routine Summary:
Phew, as I mentioned on the vac-hanger thread I created, the vacuum cone hanging is so much more intense for me than just the regular hanging with the sleeve. The sleeve seems to take away or displaces some of the weight more evenly, and that is why the ligaments are the main/only place to get fatigue. When I use the vacuum cone, my whole shaft feels like it has gotten a good workout.
I was thinking earlier if there was a way to describe the difference between the two feelings or areas of feeling to members who don't hang. I think the vacuum cone feels like after a heavy girth session or clamping, where your unit feels exhausted, whereas hanging with the sleeve feels like a really good directional stretching session.
I didn't realise there would be two different feelings by using different approaches, but there certainly is. I really like both types of fatigue, but now I am unsure if it would be best to combine both methods or to concentrate on one or the other. The vacuum cone method, fatigue sets in quicker and there feels like a greater workout has been done than the sleeve approach.
It might be best to continue with the vacuum cone approach only until there is no fatigue or little fatigue left. Also, the vacuum cone will only be able to hold 5-10 lbs, whereas the sleeve can supposedly handle much more. Therefore, it might be wise to concentrate and max out my gains with the vacuum cone and leave the sleeve for later on. Wow, sometimes this log is great, I was totally baffled earlier about what to do but I just brainstormed it with myself hahaha.
