BigO's Progress Log

[BigO]

Todays efforts, same as yesterday's

LG Hanger
1 hour @ 9lbs

 

[Y2J]

I am not going to measure for a while. I will measure BPFSL but that is all for now.

Sometimes I think it makes me impatient to measure.

I'm just really getting back into a real routine again so I figure at least 6 months for BPEL or if I see a noticeable stretched flaccid gain

Yes same here.i find constant measuring making me sad

Earlier this year i didnt take measurements and do pe for 2 months &
when i came back i measured i gains 0.3 in BPEL,
however none in EL(Weight issue and maybe eq)Working on it now.


Lets see where we are at in 5-6 months!! Your routine is very identical to mine!

.3 in two months is a pretty good gain.

Girth takes time and a bit more work for most but keep doing what you are doing and good things will happen.

What is your routine right now

What is your routine right now

Sorry i mean i was doing a routine for around 6months plus
then when i took a break for
2 months and measured 0.3inches gain.

Girth is not really my aim right now.length is.

I am doing a routine like this
Day1-Pump
Day[2-4]-Hang
Repeat.

I do sometimes pump after hanging,but now i am going to strictly do pump only on non hang days.

If your aim is length, make them all hang days first, pump after but only two or three times a week.

No need to rest while hanging.

You don't want to fully heal while hanging
For gains

Today was a good day for hanging, got in two sets. My conditioning seems to be coming back quickly.

I'm sure I could go up in weight already but I think I will try for more time over more weight if I can get the time to use.

For gains

Yes i got 5.5-5.6inch girth i don't care about girth for now.

Ok i will listen to your advice.
Please let me know if this routine is fine.
Hang time will be 1 hour min/2 hour max[IF time permits 1 Hour X 2]

Mon-Hang[1-2Hour]
Tues-Hang[1-2Hour]
Wed-Hang[1-2hour]Pump 10-15min[5×3]
Thu-Hang[1-2Hour]
Fri-Hang[1-2Hour]
Sat-Hang[1-2hour]Pump 10-15min[5×3]
Sun-Hang[1-2Hour]

Do i have to increase the pump timing every week?
like increase 2 min per week?
I have done 30min in a day
with long breaks[AM,noon,PM]
in between
with no problems.


Lastly thank you alot BigO.Apologies for hogging your thread

Looks good. No need to increase pump time. Too much pumping will make it harder to hang as you go up in weight.

I wouldn't pump anymore than enough to get plump without getting any edema.

If you have more time, use it to hang

Your not haggling my thread, I don't mind using this thread if you want to ask questions...feel free

Yesterdays routine

1 hour @ 9lbs

LG Hanger PM
1 hour @ 9lbs

Todays routine was half as great as yesterday's!

LG Hanger AM
1 hour @ 9lbs

I may incorporate some pumping back in the routine or some clamped pump sets.

Some easy 5 minute sets perhaps?

Appreciate your help alot.
What's the max time i can hang per day?

I find myself struggling during the 2nd set of vac hanging 5.5lbs at around 20mins into it i want to quit but i made it to 50Min yestetday.

No pain just a tired feeling.

i am going to stick to this weight for 1 month. Yes i guess i'll just pump for 5min eod.

There really isn't a limit for time. Many believe 2 hours per day is optimal or a total time per week of 10 hours.

I shoot for ten hours because some days I have more time than other days.

If the feeling you are getting is a dull ache but not actual pain then you are hitting fatigue.

If it becomes a challenge to hit the time you want, it is OK to drop a small amount of weight as needed during the set.

If you have fishing weights, they are a great way to drop small amounts during a set

To be honest, I am cut so I don't know. I hear that some do experience this. UT I know that the LG Hanger web site has some instructional videos to help with wrapping for uncut guys

Sure I will look into it. BTW how long u've been hanging & What's your gains?

Oh boy, it's been a while.

I started at 6 bpel, quickly gained 1/2 and then it got real slow.

I've gained an inch from hanging after the initial 1/2. I believe the first 1/2 to be mostly EQ gains

I've been at this for about 11 years but I stopped for a long time so all in all, I'd have to go through the log.

I stopped doing PE for gains around 2015 ish with mostly maintenance for much of the time.

Damn. 1.5 inches with breaks is impressive. From 6bpel to 7.5.my prediction is that u will pack a 8inch by end of the year.
When I started years ago I was just doing manuals. Consistency wasn't there. Didn't measure it too. But I saw gains in my flaccid for sure.

1 question, can I hang for shorter time period. Some days I don't have a straight hour. Can I do like 30min X4 set, or similar?
