The Captn's Wench: PE Device

dsteve: You know there isn’t a practical way to compress enough to handle the weight of hanging without cutting off circulation. That’s the reason for the 20 minute rule. Never exceed the rule. Yeah, I know its a pain to have to release that often but circulation is the reason. We don’t want to end up with either a case of gangrene or discoloration from oxygen starvation.

I haven’t heard of anyone having a wench twist on them so that’s a new one on me. You might check the pad location to see if they are symmetrically placed on each side of your shaft when loaded up. If they are offset in some fashion from being even on each side of your shaft that might cause a twist under load.

Oh one other thing concerning pad location and that is if they are not properly placed they can cut off what small amount of circulation still tries to get through. Make sure they are placed on each side and not the top of your shaft where blood vessels are traveling.

Thank you. I am only doing 5 lbs and the 20 min on with 10 min breaks. I think I may be pulling the wrap too tight and causing pressure on top. I have been adjusting the pads as well. I guess in summary this device takes some trial and error to get it right. Need to remind myself that patience is key with PE.

Anybody know a store that sells these cable clamps? I couldn’t find them at Lowe’s or Walmart. Would like to be able to pick one up somewhere locally today rather than ordering one online. Thanks

They had them in the local Walmart not too long ago in the same area as their cheapo tools near power tools. There were in plastic drawer-like bins & are red and black. They’re not exactly the same as the ones I’ve seen on TPs

I found them in Home Depot with the name Cable Cuff

Bingo! Thank you sir. Just a heads up for anybody else that is looking for them, I found them in a bin next to the computer/tv supplies (cables).

Does anyone sell an already made Captn’s Wench? I was interested in getting a BIB, but I can’t afford to spend $100 plus bucks on that, and I’m really bad at putting things together, so I’m hoping somebody sells a pre-made captn’s wench at an affordable price. I currently use the vacuum hanger from ESL40 on ebay, but it’s a pain to keep taking on and off due to drinking so much water from increased workouts, so I need something I can remove easily or don’t have to fully remove to urinate. Feel free to private message me. Thanks guys. =)

I’ll just point out that anyone using these forums to sell things without a commercial account will be banned. If you need a commercial account, please PM Thunder.

I’m having problems finding the clamps though. But these look great!

They don’t ship to Philippines :(

I should have mentioned in my previous post that it is important to keep the gripper pads from the top of the hanger as not only will it cut off what circulation wants to get through but will damage the nerve bundles that run along the top of the shaft.

Ahoy there mateys

I’m having trouble getting the supplies. I may have to kick this idea to the curb and holla at BIB.

But I am persistent:

do I require for the Captain’s Wench?

Velcro Heavy-Duty Stick On Tape 50mm x 1m Black VEL60241

or

VELCRO HEAVY DUTY STICK ON STRIP 50MM X 1M BLACK - 60241 - VELCRO

and also where do I get Soft Touch by Waxman Grippers in the UK online I have searched everywhere and cannot find even a USA link. Could someone help me out please?

Also how does the nylon strap get attached for the velcro part of the Wench?

Thanks for being patient with a noob and may ye find yeeees buried treasure ahhhharrrrrr

I was able to order everything I needed from Amazon (US). Try Amazon UK?

Genius yet simple ,

Thank you for a brilliant tutorial

Brand new here and I just finished putting together my Wench. I have just tried it on and seems like a great concept and comfortable to boot! I will be getting into a routine shortly. I’m fairly new to PE but I have done a bit of manual stretching and pumping (no worries, I’ll take it slow). Very anxious to see how the Cap’s design works.
