I prefer the LG because its more comfortable and I can hang longer sets which the end result is more time under tension. But I got too ambitious, didn't listen to my own body cues and had some problems with my wrap and have developed a couple of blisters in the last month. I learned my lesson the hard way and I'm currently letting the skin heal and to keep making progress I decided to learn how to use the bib. I like it just fine really, its a really great hanger. I plan to use it for a little while longer and then do most of my sets with the LG but try to get one or two sets with the bib in a day to keep up soft tissue conditioning. Plus I'm starting to think because they attach differently there is potential for greater gains if both are employed. Its late and I'm getting off track, the take home is I really like the bib but it does have a steep learning curve and isn't as comfortable.

Good for you Brother! I hope this new hanger really adds to your gains!
Well I'm now counting a 1/8th gain in BPFSL AFTER my sets today, temporary I know but I'm definitely heading in the right direction. Thats 3/16th inch gain in BPFSL in like a month.

Comments: I experimented with my wrap early in the day. I got the idea from SheLovesIt at bib's forum and he has roughly the same size as me. It really is genius I gotta say and makes sense to halt turkey neck growth. I used a Goody HTW with 2 strips of theraband. One strip at 2 [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]x 20[/words] inches that I been using and cut a new strip at 2 [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]x 30[/words] inches. I cut a toilet paper roll in half up the middle and utilized a third hand tool. I used the toilet paper roll as an easy HTW applicator. I cut the HTW in half and rolled the HTW into a HTW condom pretty much. I stretched it over the toilet paper roll and unrolled it onto the toilet paper roll. I then strung the third hand tool through the HTW on the toilet paper roll. I attached the 3rd hand tool below my glans and while stretched and using my fingers to widen the roll, hence why I cut it, over my penis close to the base. Then I work the HTW onto my penis, usually my head slips out of the 3rd hand tool at some point. While applying pressure to the HTW at the base I slide the toilet paper roll off my penis making sure the HTW stays behind. Then I apply the two strips of theraband like normal but trying to spiral the wrap to the of the HTW at the base. I start back towards the glans with the second strip of theraband and spiral that towards the base as well. I think this will limit the further development of a turkey neck. I also pull any skin out of the HTW as I'm applying it as I can.
This wrap is noticeably thinner than what I was doing and the HTW were brand new. I did get some fluid build-up especially before I took the break and my other last set. This could be increased because the HTW were brand new and haven't gotten worn in yet. It was however more comfortable than I thought. My last 2 sets I used 2 HTW in addition to the 2 strips of theraband mentioned above. The problem I had with the wrap today is the hanger would stay in place very good but the wrap would go past the top of my head and dig in a little and cut off circulation. My head didn't fill with blood with this wrap (making it easier for the wrap to slide past the head) and I did get fluid build-up which leads me to believe it was cutting off circulation even though I was able to tighten the hanger well. I've decided to start wrapping all the way to the base and this can compound the loss of circulation if the wrap is too tight. I will either keep trying to adjust this way along with hanger settings (might need to come in more with bottom hex nuts or toe out more or less) or go back to the pajama/Sweatpants material and maybe try that with 2 strips of theraband.
Also I believe a paper towel roll would make a better HTW Applicator but I'll have to wait to run out of paper towels, I had an empty toilet paper roll laying in my bathroom and decided to try that for now.
