Have to warm up

I haven’t been warming up for the last month. (homemade hanger) I would gradually raise the weight from 10 up to 18 lbs as the ligs would stretch. I recently received my BiB Hanger and decided to warm up at the sink with a hot rag. I was able to hang 21 lbs and worked my way down by the 3rd set to 15 lbs. My home made hanger took so long to set and take off I gave up on warm ups. Now I have my new BiB Hanger, it saves me so much time I can afford those 5 minutes to warm up.

Trying warming up the bibhanger. Its feels a lot better clamping a warm hanger on rather than a cold one. I wrap mine in the rice sock while I’m getting ready.

When warming up is it more benificial to focus on the ligs or the actual shaft itself?

I’ve been using a warm wash cloth and trying to get all of it.

It depends on which area you’re targeting for the stretch, trips. But for safety’s sake, it’s definitely best to warm the whole area, as you’ve been trying to do.
