Sumner, How many sets were you doing with light weights (under 25 lb)? Were you reaching fatigue with this weight? Or are you finding now that you reaching fatigue easier with the heavy weight? One thing with the big gainers you have mentioned is that they put in a lot of sets!
hi-i was hanging six sets a day.twenty minutes per set.i started at five pounds and in about three months was using twenty-five pounds.i felt fatigue but experienced zero gains after many months at that weight.i was sort of afraid to go any higher.
then i read about dustpan and some other guys who were using much higher weights and decided to go for it.bib did very many sets(something like 12-18 a day)but the other guys only did one or two sets a day.i do two sets a day,one am and
one pm set.im now using forty-five pounds for ten minute sets with the bibhanger and trying to get the hang of the muzzlehanger for one set.so far i can only use twenty-five pounds with the muzzlehanger.probably doing something wrong.
all my gains came after i switched to two heavy sets a day.from 6x5 to 7x5.75.it took almost a year.kind of scary with the heavy weights but it works, so im sticking with it.im hoping dustpan is still hanging.amazing how much he can hang.
later.
