What kind of chair?

On the one hand, hanging is one of the most time intensive forms of PE. On the other hand, it doesn’t tie up your hands like other forms of PE, so it can effectively be less of a productivity killer if you can figure out a way to comfortably engage in other activities while hanging.

My problem is that, for the life of me, I can’t figure out a comfortable way to hang while sitting at my computer. By comfort I am not referring to penis comfort, but posture comfort. What kind of chairs do you guys use? No matter what chair I use, I am forced to sit so close to the edge that I am almost falling off, and am forced into doing a semi squat to keep myself from falling off.

The other problem I have is that I have to sit on a phone book, or stack of blankets to elevate myself high enough to keep the weights from touching the ground. I already have the strap on the bib adjusted so it just clears my dick, so I can’t adjust that anymore. I use free weights for the weight. I suppose I could use something more low profile, but it would have to be heavy enough. I am currently hanging 21 pounds, and have used up to 26 pounds in the past, so I need something of high density.

I’d like to figure out a way to sit at my computer in a position natural enough to allow me to think about my work and be productive rather that being distracted by my awkward positioning.

Have you considered a pulley system? Jelktoid posted a picture of his desk with a pulley attached to the underside a while ago. No special chair required, no weights brushing the ground.

Nick7 posted this recently. Seems like a good idea.

Could you post a link to the Jelktoid pic of the pulley system…I can’t find it…

Thanks

I always thought a potty chair would work good. You would get the BTC hang, but still no back support.

Mushroom,

Your weight need to be parallel to the floor. You can get a block with a rope or cord running through it and thread the weights over the cord. Some guys use a PVC pipe rack to stackt ther weights on. It is a piece of pipe with a cap on the end, the pipe slide through the hole in the plates, drill a hole in the end of the pipe to attach the hook.

I used an executive type chair. It is adjustable height wise. Also, it tilts back, raising the front of the chair. I am 6’4” and tilted back, my feet don not come close to the floor. Anyway, get a scrap piece of 4-6 inch pvc, cut it roughly lenhthwise in half. Then use a cord to tie it to the front edge of the chair. This will give you a good base for the skids to ride on.

From this, you can rig many thing to give the front edge of your chair an etension.

If any of this is not clear, ask away.

Hey bbs,

Jelktoid’s Under the Desk Post

Thanks thunder :) I should have put the time in to find the link in the first place.

Hey Thunder, when I click on your link it takes me to Jeltoid’s post. But when I click on his attachment, I get an error message page that says I am not logged in or do not have authorization to view the page. Since I am logged in, there must be some glitch with authorization. Do you have to be on the “Top Ten List” to have full viewing authorization? Or this this like the “72 hour plan” on CheekyCherry, where you have to be a member for a year and post 1000 times to access the really good stuff? LOL. Just kidding!! :chuckle:

I have run into this problem several times, though, and wondered if you knew what causes it and how to fix it?

Thanks!

It is me posting bad links bigjack, pure and simple. Thanks for pointing it out. It happens quite often, memento has taken to calling me the “usual culprit” when he points out one (or more) of my fuckups. Hopefully it is fixed now.

I hate to admit this but I’m an unemployed pilot who works construction. We demolish banks and they throw everything away; desks, phones, and STOOLS!

Get two stools preferably reclinable. Face them towards each other, sit on one and put your feet up on the other. Or better yet put them up on whatever’s by your computer-just get a stool.

I’m three and half months hanging and love that position. Raise your legs up for more stress BUT

For BTC I use two dining chairs facing each other about 6-8 inches apart. One thigh goes on each chair. The Bib hanger goes in the space between the seat cushions . I get over the height problem by using a spring balance and thick luggage strap pulling against a fixed object. This can be a hook or screw eye screwed to the wall, or whatever you can think up. Or a pulley system to get the weight off the floor whilst giving a horizontal force.
Only problem is lack of back support, but I tend to sit forward and keep the small of my back concave anyway—-and you have to get up every 20- or so minutes

For forward hanging at the desk I use something like jeltoid’s setup.

For OTS I use a screw eye attached to the ceiling. This can be the anchor point for pulley/rope/ weights, or the spring balance/ luggage strap setup.

Hope this helps

This is a good thread….let’s hear from other guys what type of set-ups they use…….

pictures would be a plus as well…..

johnny gate how’s your set up working out??
