5 Things NO ONE Tells You About Hanging on a Bar

[@andrewbell8837]

Almost 79 here. Most recent dead hang challenge 3:06 I have also done 2:30 + 2:00 + 1:30 in succession.

[@mrtonod]

what is your weight and height? Not for nothing but doing this at 79 you must be ripped or light as a feather. Irregardless, that is quite impressive at that age.

Do a hang almost every day, 3x 90 second reps spaced at the beginning, middle and end of my gym workouts. Provides visible muscle improvement and seems to promote shoulder mobility and realigns the spine.

[@arautus]

It's amazing what it's done for me already in just a couple of weeks. It's like a spinal adjustment and helped improve my racquetball and pickleball games big time.

[@4MaxMad]

I started to do this exercise. My pain in my back and shoulders a getting less. Thank you very much.

[@percybyssheshelly]

I've been hanging everyday for about 3 months. The best result has been no upper back or neck pain which I used to get quite a bit.

[@PA-qv2dy]

Hanging definitely fixed my shoulders. I also feel it in my spine!!

[@paysour3]

I started hanging for the first time 3 months ago. I am 66 years old and have never been able to do more than 60 push-ups in my life. Now I'm up to 90 push-ups in one set. My bench press increased by 30 lb. My forms began to develop in ways they never have before. Now I can see the veins in my arm which adds to my muscular appearance. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

[@dantana5774]

I'm 69 and tried it yesterday for the first time- withing 5 seconds I felt a big pop in my low back - that decompression of my lower spine was wonderful

[@JeanDylanKevin]

yea rite 90 push ups in one shot at 66? congrats Arnold

How long should you hang. As a beginner, do you have any regiment to start out

[@leestockton9367]

Just started this and having hung for 30 seconds for three days, I can't believe how quickly my shoulder issues disappeared!

[@gravestonemyth]

I added dead hangs to my daily exercise about a month ago. My medium T-shirts are getting pretty tight, I think I need to move up to large. Not complaining!

[@sergiomarki]

I did discover this issue last week , and . . . i approve this video. ❤

[@TrishCanyon8]

I couldn't hang for 10 seconds at first. I've been adding 5 seconds a week and now I'm at 40 seconds. My goal is 3 minutes.

I do it 3-4 times per week. It has made a huge huge difference for my shoulder. I believe I had an impingement and had trouble lifting my arm. It’s been about 2 months of hanging and the pain is 90% gone.

As an OCR-athlet dead hang and pull ups are crucial moves for success in the sport.

[@catzel1ps452]

This excercise is basically a death sentance to anyone who unknowingly has a ac joint separation. Instability ontop of instability. I did it for a year cause doctors missed my ac joint being separated on mri and now the amount of pain ive been in past 6 months is unreal. Hopefully pt helps.

[@giftfromgod8204]

Im for sure starting this today.🤔👌🏼😏

[@plazz6082]

Have had a damaged rotator cuff for two years that i had basically learned to live with. Been hanging for a week and noticing an improvement - if this seriously fixes the issue i will be over the moon as thought i was stuck with it for life barring surgery!

[@turkwelsch]

Cured my damaged rotator cuff!

[@armandbasilico9002]

Will hanging with a neutral grip (palms facing each other on bars that are parallel) be just as beneficial? Perhaps easier on shoulder joints?

[@waynehawkins7581]

I have to do them with a neutral grip because of slight shoulder problems

[@boogerboy4533]

It’s working!

[@williamstirling4573]

As an amateur boxer l can verify the benefits of hanging tough. I have been using this excersises regularly for four years as part of my strength program. Not only has my upper body strengthened considerably l my reach has grown by 8 inches.

[@moijesuismoi99]

we need videos or it did not happen - howcan somebody elongate their reach

[@Str8255]

Your reach has grown as in straight punches? I.e. 1 and 2.

[@YouTuber-2077]

@@moijesuismoi998 inches is definitely an exaggeration

[@IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

Why is it that just about none of the images in this video show a dead hang? They are mostly active hangs (i.e. with flexed muscles) or including movement. A dead hang means that you relax your muscles such that your shoulders come up to your ears and you just hang there motionless. You know, like you're "dead". Maybe that doesn't make for an exciting image but it is misleading.

[@davorzdralo8000]

Because the entire video is nonsense. It's like GPT generated some crap and they made a video of it. Hanging doesn't frickin build muscle, it improves the endurance of your grip and that's about it when it comes to muscle development. Not even pullups do all the things these guys claim just hanging does 😂

[@ltandkholbrook9555]

[@carryharris4204]

@The Fit Journal If hanging corrects imbalances, will it increase imbalances for people whose arms differ an inch in length?

[@PeterMastropasqua-rk7tp]

Excellent 👍

[@larsnystrom6698]

Hanging leg (or knee) raises. Slowly, 2 s up, 2 s down, with no swing. That's what i do. By the way. How not to swing? When lowering the legs and they are halfway down, move extra slowly. This should be where you straighten the lower back, and undo the pelvis tilting up. If you know mecanics, you will see that this straighening of the back works as a counter-swing to the legs. But don't worry about that, unless you are a trainer and really like to know why this stops the swinging. Mowing extra slowly of course also makes it more effective for the abs.

I've recently been using the hang in my warm up and have developed tennis elbow in both arms. Has anyone experienced this?

[@larsnystrom6698]

@ThePatcarolan No, can't say that I have -- from passive hanging! But it's very common to get that kind of problems after a couple of months of pull-ups or chin-ups. The problem is that you are bending your elbows. Passive hang are always with compleatly straight arms! The two best way not to get those problems are. 1) Don't do the maximum number of pullups you can for, lets say 6 months. Start slowly, so tendons have time to strengthen. That takes more time than for muscles. 2) Use gymnastic rings. It's the twisting of the lower arm you have to do to grip a straight bar which taxes the lower arm muscles too much. And 3) Supplement with hydrolyzed collagen and vitamin C. That helps building tendons (and bones, skin, blood vessels, etc). We are eating too little of that nowadays.

[@ThePat1962]

@@larsnystrom6698 Thank you for your reply. Yes my hanging is used as a warm up for chins and pulls. I'm now forced into a rest period as my left elbow is pretty bad. Disappointed as I'm 61 years and hate losing training time. Doing all I can to heal.

You can take rest days. Do it at least 3 times a week to see results.

@@thefitjournal Awesome! Thank you

[@hariommishra8269]

Isn’t doing on alternate days better as it would give sufficient rest to muscles and enhance recovery and avoid injuries.Avoiding injuries is foremost thing as injuries not only stop you from doing exercise but also take time to recover ( in addition to pain and discomfort)

[@hph4833]

Would hanging out at a bar achieve the same benefits? Asking for a friend.

[@YingJwo]

While hanging FROM a bar improves the core and upper extremity strength, hanging out AT a bar assists in increasing abdominal girth while providing recovery for the rest of the body and, at times stimulating the mind with deep conversation.

We spent a lot of evolutionary time hanging from branches and our basic build is still strongly influenced by our ape past. But you need to hang from one arm too not just two. Watch monkeys in the trees or at the zoo , then you know where your monkey power lies and what your shoulders and upper body is capable of.
