Dash,
>I doubt 50 pounds is a world record and actually I bet Bib has hung heavier. Bib?<
The most I consistantly hung with, as my max weight, was 45 lbs. I did test the hangers at 60 lbs, but that was not for full 20 minute sets, and I was not trying to gain at that time.
I agree with Dash that this is a tricky thing to do. You must condition your soft tissues to be able to withstand this amount of stress. Also, the more weight, the easier it is to become injured. You must work up in weight slowly, over time, even if it is only for a set or two.
