Default "Hanging 75 lbs"

Remek,

Back about three months ago I had seen a video of some Monks lifting weights. The three or four Monks started out by lifting light weights and swinging them with there penis. This was about the same thing I was doing and this was okay because I could feel or know what that felt like.
The guy that was there for the interview was quite impressed with what they were doing. The head Monk had one of the trainees go and stack the weight on this long rod with a hook on the upper end, the plates weighed 15 kg each and 10 on the stack, a total of 150 kg or 330.7 lbs. He had the interviewer go over to the this stack of weights and stand on the platform and try to lift the stack with his hands, well he couldn't lift it.
Then one of the Monks stepped up on the platform and attached his penis to the rod with some kind of silk cloth and attached it to the rod, he lifted the whole stack and held it off the floor for 15 seconds. Then the video continues to the outside where there is a 3/4 ton truck and men climbing into the back of the truck. The main Monk is outside with the interviewer, at this point the Monk attaches a rope to the silk cloth that is on his penis, and then he starts to back up taking up the slack. When the rope is tight between him and the truck he starts to pull the truck with his penis. The truck is pulled about 15 yd.
So this is some of the inspiration that got me started on the weight that I am lifting now. Before I viewed the video I already had lifted up to 30 lbs with my penis. I have set goals for myself each month for lifting, in July it was 60 lbs. Then I gave myself 2 month to reach 75 lbs. I have reached my goal of 75 lbs a month early, but right now I am training for an endurance time of 90 seconds with that weight.

I want to say this , you do not lift heavy weights all at once, and it takes time, patients and persistance. It also takes a positive mind that allows you to do this. The warm up is very important along with the stretches, I nerver go right into lifting with out these kind of stretches that I do.
1. Straight Out
2. Straight Up
3. Straight Down

All these stretches are 2 minute stretch sets all are done with my own body weight except the SD, which I use a 20 pound weight and with this stretch I also swing the weight between my legs. This relaxes the upper Ligaments for a better hang. To start with the weights I start with a lower weight of 45 lbs and work my way up to my goal of 75 lbs. I allow time in between hanging for more stretching, which are all three of them
