Hanging 101

[blink2000]

A lot of PEers will tell you that nothing gives length gains like hanging. Even those who disagree with that can't deny that the results you can achieve with a hanging routine are phenomenal. I want to help guys out who want to get into hanging but aren't sure where to start (and help hangers avoid injuries too).

I love this kind of feedback, this is exactly why I wrote this article, thanks m0ses!

Great job blink, thanks for sharing it!

Fantastic thread! Glad you've decided to come to the gym Blink! You're a welcome addition to the community. I can see a lot of rep points going your way! I don't know if you've posted a history of your PE career but I'm sure it would be a great read. Welcome!

Can you elaborate on angle of hang and LOT and what is BTC?

I also have SO, SD, UTL and BTC angles built right into my chair.

What do all those mean?

Thanks Pry

I may even seem long-winded, but I actually held back. I didn't include a lot of little details about hanging. A lot of those details are in the article that I posted at thunders. Just small bits of advice on how to wrap, how to attach a hanger.... it was mostly situation things where I couldn't find any answers on existing forums. I kept a journal of all the answers I found, cleaned it up & posted it.

I thought I would share the love and write something for PEgym!

Blink, this is a great article; thanks for sharing your knowledge. I agree that is should be on the home page. We need more clear, concise (;-) postings that bring together all the wisdom that is on this and other sites. I'd love to try hanging but I'm doing my PE when my wife's not around (which isn't often) so it probably isn't in the cards. Would you mind posting another article with all the details you left out of this one? Don't hold back! Your knowledge is too useful.

SO = Straight out
SD = Straight down
BTC = Between the cheeks
UTL = I don't know but I'm sure it has something to do with straight up.

The other article is mostly quotes from Bib. I just organized information from many places on Bib's forum, then complied it together and added commentary.

I don't know if you've posted a history of your PE career but I'm sure it would be a great read.

First, thanks for the compliment. Second, this article is only here at PEgym. I wrote it for you guys because I thought there was a need for it.

If you like the article, please be sure to 'rate it'. So far I'm the only one who rated it.

I added a glossary section to answer all of your questions. In fact, I've been re-writing parts of the article to try and improve it, make it more clear, and make it more useful.

You should know LOT. It's the "Loss of Tug" theory, created by Bib. It's already covered in JP's 90 Day Beginner Routine (by JonPop).
I thought covering it again seemed too redundant.

Good job Blink! This really needs to go on the main site — it's the most comprehensive guide to hanging I've seen!
