Hanging 2.5 pounds

I know, not much weight but hanging is dangerous stuff. I am using a foam pipe insulation method. I check circulation every 5-10 minutes and hot wrap before and after.

Honestly it feels great, i cant wait to put on more weight. I think i will go to 3.5 - 4 pounds next. Is it dangerous to have the weight swing in a circular or pendulum motion? I get excellent lig work doing this.

Thank you thunders place

Hey Burzum - when I started hanging I went from 2.5 to 5 to 7.5 pounds quite quickly using a wench, and it’s good practice to build your way up.
I’m not currently hanging, but I was never a swinger ;) with the weights - I just didn’t wan’t to injure myself. It’s probably ok with light weights though.

Good Luck

Thank you,

While swinging the weights it is a very smooth movement, there is no sudden jerks or pain. And the swinging is very light. I think i will become a hanger, it seems promising.

I believe Dino had injured himself at one point and cited swinging the weight while hanging was the cause.

Just tried to find the post, but could not. If he passes by this thread, perhaps he can comment if I’m correct or not.

I use to let it swing a bit also, but once I got over 20lbs it seems like not-such-a-good idea. Be careful.
