Definitely do your research before hanging. There’s a thread somewhere called “most important hanging threads.” be sure to read it.
I made the mistake of constructing a poorly made homemade hanger, while also starting at too high a weight (I think) at 10lbs. I’m experiencing a minimal amount of bloodflow to the head because of not doing my research first. Once I rest and recover and things are back to normal, I will be purchasing the widely used bib starter hanger, and starting over at the appropriate start weight.
But take a look around and you’ll notice that many people have achieved substantial gains from hanging, by doing it right.
