On The Art and Technique of BIB Hanging
My experience has been to work smart, efficient and safe. To this end, the methodology per BIB HANGER has been as follows:
Given: appropriate warm ups, 10min. intra-hanging rest set with light /variable jelqing, use of heat 1/2 of set and about ½ of all sets per day.
1. Incremental weight stacking using 2.5 and 1.25 lb. plates. Can be viewed as a smooth gradient of weight addition creating more of a fluid stretch, in contrast to a series of abrupt weight induced stretches. Think of the analogy of bodybuilding where a smooth deliberate slow movement is recommended in contrast to a jerky injury prone motion. My sequence would go something like this. First the essential warm up for about 5-10 minutes. Than I perform a seated partial BTC (leaning back in chair incrementally as I add weights) at desk chair. I add 2.5 lbs. in increments, each minute give or take, achieving max weight over a period of approximately 10 min per the first set, also 1.25 lbs. plates are used to fine tune the process as max weight is approached where max may be achieved with only a 1.25 LB increment. This would be a warm-up set.
2. BTC Phase. Next I perform x sets of BTC in like manner with smooth methodical incremental weight additions to max weight. May go back to desk chair leaning back as far a possible to perform exercise and work demands simultaneously.
3. Form and Function. I my view, this creates maximum results while exposing yourself to minimum possibility of injury. The goal is form and function, not just form.
