I got this tip from a retired delta force operator when doing pulling ups put your thumb over the bar not under. Keep your thumb tight next to your index finger and you disengage 3 muscles that will make it easier

[@Grim-Fn]

this a great tip i learned this years ago and forgot so im glad this was commented, this is big facts it really helps get your form correct

[@dyslexicsoap7605]

clear and to the point. problem -> solution -> conclusion

[@romankorotash692]

I combine using straps for pull ups & rows whenever i need to hit my back really hard without loosing the grip strength. Straps alone are one of the gym equipment tools i have discovered recently and they work wonders for my progress. Once you start using straps it's hard to go back to relying on your grip so much.

[@user-us4mc7ej3c]

exactly it makes it much easier to use the back correctly during pulling motions. It takes a long time to train grip enough so that they don't become a limiting factor for pulling exercises Make sure to train the forearms though if you use straps often and care at least a little about physique. Tiny forearms make the whole arms look bad

[@cristian9365]

​@@user-us4mc7ej3cimo using straps for vertical pulls is just embracing a weakness rather than correcting it

[@marcramirez2093]

I think I just realized I hate targeting muscles. Like with pull ups I can do a thumbless grip but I prefer a thumb over grip, i have better control of my motion, to the point where people comment on how impressed they are because i can do my pull ups so controled. Or with curls, I can bend my wrist back or do that flat hand curl thing to target the biceps more but I feel better leading the curl with my forearm. It's been a huge help. And my grip has improved.

[@calle6075]

Thanx, mate. Radical waves Dundee!

[@rbarreira2]

I rarely do hangs but can hang for more than a minute easily even while overweight. I think pull-ups and trap bar deadlifts have trained my forearms enough, giving carryover to the hang. Obviously the hang is a good exercise too, but if you do your lower and upper body compounds you will be fine.

[@Coffea.]

Came here after failing dismally at holding on during a workout. I found discovered that you feel ab exercises much more while hanging then those floor exercises, but I would continuously lose grip during a lot of the exercises. Definitely means I gotta start doing this daily.

[@thestig560]

I really notice my deficiency in grip strength when I do deadlifts. My legs and back can handle a lot more than my hands can hold. Thank you for the advice

[@dandeveny4513]

Any reason for 30-45seconds, many hanging videos I saw aim for a minute or higher. I can do about 90seconds, would I be better adding weight to get back to 45seconds, or doing as many sets of 45 seconds as I can manage, what sort of rest between sets?

[@dizietz]

Daniel, what are your thoughts for advanced goals in terms of hanging -- does 15-30sec reps with one arm deadhangs sound like a good goal? Do you have any thoughts on programming timing/breaks for deadhangs vs active hangs / scapular pullups and shoulder mobility/strength work (ie, shoulder dislocates, kettlebell halos, face pulls) in terms of spacing in timing and order sequencing? Thanks as always for all the great to the point content!

Hanging yes. But first instead of adding weights increase circumference of the bar or whatever you use. Just wrap it with som sort of tennis rocket grip tape etc. Or even use towel.

Once hangs feel comfortable and you can hold one easily for about 3 minutes you can switch to towel hangs which targets deep palm muscles.

You might try suitcase carries as well. I lift while doing calisthenics supplementary though so I'm in the gym constantly, but if you have access to do it frequently I do it once to twice a week at 75 to 100 meters. For weight I'm working toward half body weight but if you can do more then that's great.

[@jassimalsafwani]

Great Advice

[@dustinlerch9272]

Do you keep scapular retraction or hang with open shoulders? I often wonder as you should load the shoulders prior to pulling but hanging is ….actually hanging? Or do we load the shoulders and hang?

[@renanterezan9922]

Good question.

[@thenayancat8802]

imo it's better to keep scapular retraction, as extended and especially weighted hanging on the joints of the shoulder can lead to injury. And your forearms and hands will certainly fail before your back does

[@xanhhang9023]

Good question

[@itchyballsack6627]

You do both. A passive hang and an active hang. Passive will work more towards grip and an active hang will work more upper back/traps/shoulders...

I was very inconsistent with training for the last 3 months and although my physique didn't change much, my grip got extremely weak. I was able to do 20+ pulls ups, and now I'm at about 12 because my hand just slips and I get hold on long enough. Same for deadlift and pretty much any pulling movement

[@pdxmusl1510]

When I used to free rope rock climb. I used to hang on my fingertips. Do pull-ups on my fingertips. While hanging on my fingertips, curl them as a sort of fingertip pullup. Hang on just a few fingers. And there was some kinda exercise puddy I forgot what it's called. But I used to play with that. But yeah... hanging was a huge part of building that grip strength. With and without weight.

[@sm_artx]

I usually hang to decompress my spine. It feels great. I can currently hang for around 23-25 seconds. But my gym trainer doesn't like it and says that people should hang only if they can't do pullups. Doesn't make sense to me so I do it my way.

I realised my grip strength was limiting my pull ups. I started training at World Gym and had access to fat grip pull ups, my grip strength improved greatly a month in my forearms were massive and my pull up form and reps were much better. However, I over did it and my forearms were on fire all the time and if I tried to do a pull up on a standard pullup bar my forearm would hurt more. I was wondering how often should you train forearms and how to avoid overdoing it?

[@thesauce2477]

I've been wondering why I can never feel my back regardless of the form, I have to go way to light to the point it feels like I could do 20+ easily to even feel it and I barely do and I think it's cause I'm squeezing more so then the weight itself. I have horrendously weak forearms and wrists though.
