Does anyone only hang?

I have been thinking about getting a bib starter for ages. Does anyone only hang? Is it OK just to just hang? I know people say hanging requires allot of time, but it’s only 3x20mins five-six times a week. To me it would take less time then manual, because I could study .etc at the same time. Or is it too painful to concentrate? Cheers.

Plenty of people just hang. There is a large learning curve with hanging at first. But, after a bit, you can multi-task like nothing. Some people are perhaps even reading threads here while hanging right this second.

Like me, for one:)

Now I think about it, it is a little spooky. Your powers are great TT.

Thanks for the replies. That being said, do you think it’s worth the investment to buy a bib starter?

Definately consider a captn’s wench. Inexpensive and works great.

Yeah i tried to make that but failed…. Wish I just bought a BIB in the first place, considering the time/money I wasted.

Buy the Bib. You won’t regret it, even for one second. It is the Lazy Boy of hangers!

I think to see gains you will need to get in at lest 6 hours per week hanging time. You will need to do 3x 15 to 20 min sets per day minimum and maybe more to reach fatigue. Be sure to read up on the LOT theory and how it pertains to hanging and gains.

I recommend buying a bib too.

All the replies so far have given you great advice.
To reiterate, it is okay to solely hang. More than three sets a day, as SNM said, is required for an effective hanging regimen. Yes, you can multi-task while hanging. After the learning curve TT mentioned is passed, you’ll be able to hang so comfortably you should hardly feel the weight. If you feel pain, you’re doing something wrong.

And finally, you should order a Bib Starter and make yourself a Wench. Is it worth it to buy the Starter? It all depends on how much use you get out of it.

I’ve gained over an inch with only three sets per day. But likely would have gained more if I could hang more.

Thanks for your replies guys. I’ve ordered a BIB starter and I’m phyched up to start hanging. I’m going to have to become more time effecient seeing as I’ve got studying and normal workoing out to do. I remember when I first heard about hanging, it was the kind of thing I said i’d never do and it was crazy .etc lol

Good luck with the BIB, Magus. I’ve only been hanging up to 6lb with a simple little device described here Simple vacuum hangers for the uncut guys.

I’ve only gained 0.5" in a year using a combination of manual exercises, hanging and ADS but will be happy if I can keep it coming slow and steady.

Hang in there!

Thanks mbuc, the hanger you made seems to work on the same principle as the Ventless tugger: http://www.tlct … com/prodTLC.htm
