it would take a VERY VERY strong guy to be able to pull with their hand that hard for even a short period of time.

Excellent work Ron, so progressive and constant!
 
Hey Ron, What's up?

Have you ever tried the BIB hanger? If so, what's (are) the major difference(s) between the two, and what made you choose the malehanger?

I have not tried any of the BIB hangers. I have read a lot about them and seen many pictures of them. I chose the Malehanger because of the price for (a big) one. Malehanger comes with great, thorough instructions, which include not only pictures but also videos. Also, the guy who makes Malehanger seems more interested in constantly improving the design. BIB seems content with his devices and doesn't seem to think they need improvement. Even though I have read of men breaking their BIB hangers, twisting problems with the gel lined hangers, and comfort problems at higher weights over 15lbs or so. I have preordered the new version of Malehanger and am looking forward to it. From what the maker says he hired a design engineer to completely redesign the hanger making it stronger against breakage where the old design (and BIB hangers) are weak, and it's also more comfortable at higher weights.

It's feeling great DLD! I feel like I'll have a gain to report at the end of the month. Fingers crossed!

So you will be measuring October end Ron?
 
DLD I measured and posted that I was up another 1/4" September 30th. I will measure again the end of this month.

Somewhat sad news today. My Malehanger broke. It did so at the top where the BIB hangers are also prone to breaking under where the top tightening nut sits. There's no fixing it. Already tried with Gorilla glue. I emailed Ben who makes these and he said the new version has been totally redesigned and will no longer have the potential to break in this area. So I guess I'm not hanging for about a week or so while I wait on my new hanger.

How the heck did I miss this? I come to your thread everyday???

Anyway, better late than never, Congratulations Ron! I hope there is more to report months end.

Thanks DLD, I just hope this off time while I wait for my new hanger doesn't set me back.

Just keep things going with basic stretching in the mean time, this will prevent you from loosing any length.

Might try a DIY hanger like I posted above. Wont set you back much and you will also have left over, a few cable clamps for clamping later on (if you don't already have some). At least you're getting a newer version, something more to be optimistic about when you get it.
 
Didn't you all ban him?

I remember getting shit from members here about me supposedly being him. I seen him a bit back in the day I think. Didn't know what went wrong w/ that debacle.

I don't think he is banned, he was at one time but we lifted that ban years ago.

LOL. For some reason I thought of office space where that guy was fired and doesn't know it, but is somehow still receiving a paycheck.

So he owns Malehanger company?

and thickerman (clamps) I believe.
 
Yea the get started letter that came with my hanger made it clear a guy named Ben owns Malehanger and his business partner Pete sells his Thickerman device. They're both nice guys from my interactions with them.

Ben is a good guy, even though we have had some falling outs he is a decent guy.

Yes Ben told me it's been an issue for a while and even Bib hangers break. For example:
