Am I bound by my LOT?

I tested my LOT, and it is around 7 or 8 oclock. I am only 5.5” long and haven’t stretched before, so does this mean I don’t have far to go? How established and true is LOT theory? I would like to reach 7-8” some day and am kind of discouraged if there isn’t a good phsyiological outlook for me…

Nope, you aren’t. LOT merely defines if you should stretch your ligs or tunica. In your case, you should still work your ligs for some time. For tunica gains, there is no limit that we know of, really.

I recommend you do a search on this subject, this has been discussed a lot and there is alot of good indepth info there.

Yeah, what base said. Don’t worry about it; 7:00 or 8:00 is a typical LOT, and you probably have some potential for lig gains. Once those have dried up, it’s time to move on to the tunica — more work, but possibly unlimited potential.

Para-G, have we ever done a poll on LOT? If not, it should be done. I tend to agree with 8 o’clock being typical.

If I am not mistaken, Bib went back and forth working the LOT from tunica to ligs and back and forth over and over throughout his growth. This is the approach I am taking to this. I started with a LOT of around 6:30 or so so I hit the tunica for about 6 months worth of hanging and now have a LOT of 9:00 to 9:30 with an extra 3/4” to 1” to show for it. Now for what I have heard are the easier gains, ligs. Then, back to tunica but hopefully not after an inch or so of gains.

Rod -

Nope, my search turned up nothing. Post one. Be sure to specify starting LOT and provide a link to the LOT explanation thread.

poke,

That is correct - many say that their LOTs rise while making tunica gains.

My own experience has contradicted LOT theory, but I think I’m an anomoly.

We can do that. I’ll link to Bib’s thread and KOG’s too.
