Just got the bib hanger

Is there a really good way to tie the weights onto the bib hanger?

Was thinking of just getting some rope and tie a circle around the weights, and then just hook it onto the hook of the bib hanger.

Just do that.

Go to big 5 sporting goods. They sale a forearm roller that works awesome. You’ll see what I mean when you buy it. That’s all I use now. It can handle any type of weight you put on it.

I went to walmart & bought 1x giant “spring clip” — it looks like a sport climbing carabiner. It’s an oval shaped piece of rounded metal with a spring loaded side so you can quickly attach or detach it to something, and it’s solid (the small ones are only 99cents are they are safe up to 150 lbs).

I also got a few smaller carabiners, and some rope.

For 2.5lbs the small carabinerfits perfectly.
For 5lbs I have a carabiner+ rope (I couldnt quite get the carabinerto loop around the weight, so I had to use that small piece of rope)

For 10lbs I’ll use another tiny piece of rope + a small spring clip/ carabiner OR I might just use the big caribiner (I’ve got one about 4” wide, the other ones are only about 2” wide).

Anyway, I checked & I could easily fit 40lbs (4x 10lb weights/ or any variation of weight) on the big carabiner. I may use a wire hanger or a rope though, I have plenty of time before I need to decide on this.

Sidenote:
I used duct tape + a cut piece of wire hanger that I bent into an oval + fishing weights I put on the hanger to make 1/2lb and 1lb weights.

Make sure you’ve got lower weights so you can avoid injury risk, and easily do very small incremental steps (you can do 1-2lb increases in a week, but its best if you only jump 1/2 lb at a time).

What you need:
2x 1/2lb weights
1x 1lb weight
1x 2.5lb weight
1x 5lb weight
1-2x 10lb weights

With this combination of weights, there’s not a single 1/2lb increment you can’t hit.

That is all I ever did. I used heavy test string and tied a separate loop around each of the weight plates that I used.
