hangers

No offense, but you really need to know how much weight you are hanging. Using weight plates is the smartest thing to do. Also, I have to tell you that if you don’t get a Bib hanger while they are available (Bib said that his boys will stop making them after this summer), you will probably regret it if you continue on with PE. When I started, the Bib was not being produced. I made and used the AFBII while constantly wanting a Bib. Since I now have a Bib and have hung with both hangers, the difference is huge. The Bib is far more comfortable and is very sturdy and well-made. The $120 was a good investment.

Happy hangin

My Wal Mart here (TN) has weight plates as well…from 2.5lbs up to 25lb plates. Look in your phone book for exercise equipment stores or such…being in California I KNOW you have some place that sells weight plates nearby. Oh pooo pooo $120…cut back on something else in your life for a week or two..surely you blow more than $120 on things youre not even aware of every month. The full size BIB is $120…the Starter model is $85..dont let the name “Starter model” fool you either…I love mine and can see hanging 30lbs and most likely more with it if I needed to. If you cant scrounge up $93.50 (Starter/Theraband/shipping)..make a hanger or just dont bother with hanging….that extra inch or two or however you’d really like to have just doesnt have enough value to you.

Plates like you put on a dumbbell are best, IMHO, but remember that a pint of water weighs a pound, so you can make a weight very easily with a plastic bottle, and it can be any color you want. :blue:

Not for nothing but a Gallon of water weighs 8.33 lbs per gallon. I don’t feel like doing the whole math shit to qts and pints. This is for you exact trivia nazis out there other than myself. Some of us are Math tards!

To supplement two 5# ankle weight “belts” I’ve been using one or another of empty glass coffee containers filled with agua. They weigh about 5 and 3# resp. but are made of glass. I just got some Folger’s instant and noticed they were plastic. They’ll weigh a little less but will be safer particularly if I use both at same time.
