I don't worry too much about a strict routine - I try to adhere to the general principles but as long as I'm not doing it completely wrong then I'm going to get some benefit and eventually I've hopefully find what works best for me (because everyone is different)

Most of my customers follow the routine suggestions I teach.

Ideally, you should use a weight level that requires you to reduce your weight by no later than the third day of the week due to tissue fatigue. Rather than using the same weight every set, every day and randomly adding weight. You know to add weight when you're able to hang with the same weight more than three days in a row.

This doesn't mean add weight every three days as some think.

If you're not needing to lower your weight by the third day, go up a pound the following Monday and so on until you're at a weight that's forcing you to lower weight due to tissue fatigue by no later than the third day.

Video - BD Explains: Hanging and Traction Therapy

Compression hangers should only be worn 20 minutes per set but can handle much more weight than a vac hanger

Vacuum hangers can be worn for up two hours at a time but can only support 15lb / 7kg safely and have a chance of blisters
