Hanging....

What is the correct thing to do? Hang a weight that gives a good stretch that is a burning sensation on the ligs, or is it more accepted that you should find a weight that while it does give a stretch, there is no pain at all? Right now I’m hanging 3 sets of 20 minutes @ 5 pounds and one set at 7.5 for 80 minutes hanging per day. I’m in the process of gathering the materials to hang golf weights for an ADS.

I have question about ADS also. I hung 2 weights today and noticed some tug while standing and moving about but when sitting it seems to just sit there and not provide much stretch, any suggestions? I plan on getting two more weights but don’t think this will help anything.

Hmm… I personally like hanging enough weight so taht at the end of the 20 min. set, I feel fatigue. Now thiis is where you have to be the judge. If the feeling is too unbearable (I do not mean pain by this) to hang for another set, drop down in weight and hang. If it is bearable, like a “comfortable soreness”, then continue to hang at that weight. Basically, I can sum it up to this sentence. Hang in such a manner to produce fatigue(and by fatigue, mine personally feels like yours; a slight burning sensation)

I do the same thing, but sometimes only 15 minute sets. I consider ADS to be a different course of the same meal. When you hang, as described above, hang enough weight that you feel fatigue. Do an ADS the rest of your waking hours to stretch yourself out enough that the microtears heal pulled open.
