wad,
>Shit, I can’t imagine that. How you could maintain comfort, circulation, etc., with so much resistance.<
As stated above, the biggest factor is conditioning. My tissues, especially soft tissues, became conditioned to handle the weight. I could probably come close to that today. Maybe not for 20 minutes though.
Plus, I had a lot of wrap practice and hanger attachment practice, knew exactly what I was doing, and had confidence. BTW, others have come close to that amount, and probably exceeded it.
>BTW, how long were you hanging 45 lbs?<
If you mean set wise, 20 minutes would be the max. If you mean career wise, probably a total of 1.5-2 months. Further, 45 lbs was my ultimate max weight. I would not hang all day at that weight. Far from it. As I said, that was the weight that would bring on fatigue, and I would lower it from there, sometimes very quickly. It was not unusual to drop to 25-30 lbs within a couple of sets.
Also, it took a long time to work up to that weight, max 1-2 lbs per week increase, remaining static for long periods, etc.
