Interesting. Perhaps stretching/hanging causes SM hypertrophy (to some degree, as the tunica will take the blunt of the stress) and uli, clamping, etc causes SM hyperplasia. Or perhaps girth exercises also causes SM hypertrophy, as they are stretching the tunica outward. What do you think about all this, Iguana?
