Im a medical student.... and sitting down all day studying is essential for my career... But all the sitting has hurt me in terrible ways... Thank you for this amazing video...

Just tried this after a few weeks of not training and sitting at a desk all day. I was sore all over just due to lack of movement, neck was killing and no neck mobility exercises were working. Immediate relief... amazing thank you

I liked the drawings, they were helpful to understand as they gradually built up the picture, and they were clear.

[@albertvidal8344]

Duude this was so helpful! I want to cry right now, I've been stuck on trying to understand better scapular function to correct scapular winging and perform better technique on pull ups and push ups. Your drawings were so clear, you can show what's up internally whereas other videos can't. So so great, I'm trying this right now!

[@moversodyssey]

Glad this helped out! Best of luck with your shoulders

This explains so many things.. 10+ years of chronic pain. I'll do anything to fix this, is not over. God bless this channel.

Was just hanging around and came across this.

[@moversodyssey]

Lol

[@axj260]

Always amazed by the talent it takes to illustrate the movements. You explanations and illustrations are informative fantastic.

[@bricemenaugh4828]

Nice!! The resting squat and the dead hang are the big two that I do everyday... sometimes the only thing I do. It's that powerful.

[@Onnitfan1]

Me too on both. Super important!

[@aaronwylie6928]

im a veteran bodybuilder and I've neglected this stuff, its incredible, just what I was missing. Horse stance for the win and other resting squats plus active hangs progressing into perfect hang

[@Veri7a]

This is informative and I get the art aesthetic, but it would be 10x more helpful with a couple seconds of someone doing the movement rather than static drawings. Maybe even just animating the drawn subjects to perform the movement.

[@nol3231]

Agreed. The drawing was driving me crazy.lol

[@UnStop4ble]

yea i second this. altho the art is sick, that'd help immensly with understanding the movement

[@DarthScosha]

I think he's doing this to be different. You are on youtube, just search for any of the thousands of swan pulls.

[@octavian5217]

also for me all the constant noise from the drawing and moving the pencil all over the screen sketching it made me agitated and losing focus on the information, if they could lose that would be amazing for some of us

[@MatterhornValais]

Yep. I can’t take this video seriously without some actual examples.

[@juliashoon]

I have been doing the Swan Pull as an active recovery sequence between sets of upper body strength work, never knowing what it was called or that anybody did it on purpose, but it just intuitively felt good and right! Thanks for the info and affirmation of what I have been doing.

[@paulogryzek4740]

Awesome vid! Thank you! I have been doing hangs and scapular pulls in addition to building the posterior muscles overall, and everyone has noticed that my posture is perfect. I never had good posture before, and I am well into my 40's. This works!

[@KubishCZ]

This exercise feels amazing. Exactly what I was looking for, I will incorporate this regularly.

[@jasonsutterfield1638]

Great advice and the animation was very cool. I also loved how you didn't over-complicate the information. Thank you.

[@noblekingdom697]

Nice to see you again after a long time man

[@moversodyssey]

It's good to be back

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Fantastic video

[@LThill-ks2uz]

I would recommend for beginners, or weak, or seniors to create a bar low enough to do these on tip toe.

[@jackm2293]

I do a hang most mornings. 1 mint 'hollow body' hang with perfect form, scapular pulled down and in. then straight into a about 30 sec of what iv been calling an 'L-hang' witch is the same but with my legs straight out at 90. I've never heard of the swan hang. But i have sometimes pulled my self into this position naturally when adjusting my scapulars. Not held it thought, just transitions in and out of it. Ill try a hold tomorrow. Thank you for another great and informative video! ❤🙏

[@moversodyssey]

If you've been doing that for awhile you could probably do some front levers, sounds like you might already being doing some partial front levers. They're not necessary for anything in particular but they look and feel really cool and really develop strong shoulders, back and core. Glad you liked the video, best of luck with your training my friend.

[@NorfolkNorseman]

Brilliant demo

[@MichaelThompson-iu5fl]

I'm seventy seven years old, I started doing dead hanging after probably twenty five years, the first day I managed five seconds, I'm on week two and am up to a clean two minutes, I van feel my spine stretching and it feels good.

[@hisokamorow6709]

I'm glad youtube recommended me this channel!

[@CosmiCulture23]

A great video about an important topic! I need to start incorporating this move into my front lever program...

[@moversodyssey]

my first front lever came from this hang and dragon flags. Did it for a few months then shocked myself with my next front lever attempt.

[@nontologicalbeing]

Great explanation of a movement I've never heard of. All the graphics were really helpful, and I can't wait to add this to my regimen!

[@carlwatts1230]

Looking forward to delving into this channel. High signal is the vibe I immediately got and that got strengthened as the video went on Cheers

[@Dragonfly3111]

The greatest channel. Great quality ❤

[@AaronMorales-ue2jf]

I watched this video like five months ago when I was starting to do dead hangs, and followed your advice on building a base on the active hang and dead hang. Today I tried the perfect hang for the first time and it felt pretty nice. I'll keep doing it, thanks for sharing this amazing exercise with your community

[@moversodyssey]

Good luck with this hang, it takes a little while to get a strong contraction in it. But once you get that strong contraction this hang becomes a lot of fun and really helps the posture.

[@mindfulmomentswithColm]

this is a great explanation and exercise, thanks a million

[@UnlimitedIAm]

Glad you’re back

[@danylo_kosenko]

[@christopherandrews6865]

Really clear explanation. Thanks

[@asencyel]

many gyms joined previously in the past, many trainers, exercise scheduels, countless youtube subs and videos saved for posture management. and finally i stumble upon the most basic compound stance that properly actiavates right muscles both at the front and back of body counteracting in the right amount and it miraculously works! Well done sir, you finally cracked the code for all of us homospaiens.

Thank you, never heard of this one before, and I'm in a terrible place right now with upper back, shoulder and neck problems. Shoulder impingement issues means dead hangs or chin ups with wide grip aren't possible, but can do ok with neutral grip.

Perfect hangs improve shoulder mobility and strength - Dead hang and active hang address anterior shoulder mobility and scapular depression - However, they do not address humeral external rotation, scapular retraction, or shoulder blade packing Perfect Hangs improves shoulder health and muscle control - Involves depressing, retracting, and packing shoulder blades while externally rotating the humerus and extending the thoracic spine - Addresses common strength and muscle control issues of shoulders and upper spine Preparation for perfect shoulder health - Use an overhand grip for common pull-up bars - Use a neutral grip for parallel overhead bars and for shoulder problems Perfect Shoulder Health with Perfect Hangs - Passively let the torso hang as you pull the shoulder blades down and together, activating lats and upper back. - Obtain external rotation in the shoulders by imagining breaking the bar with arms out, and hold for 20 to 60 seconds. Transitioning from dead hang to perfect hang is a dynamic exercise known as the swan pole. - The process involves active, dynamic movements of the shoulders and is essential for pull-up and bar gymnastics work. - It is recommended to start with shoulder warm-ups, scapular pull-ups, and slow swan pulls before performing a perfect hang. Perfect shoulder health with active hangs - Active hangs help activate shoulder blades for bar work and prehab - Regular routine results in improved shoulder blade control and better posture

[@kenfreeman8888]

The drawings and descriptions are very helpful. Thank you.

[@TrevorHamberger]

I do this like 6 times a day to release the tension in my spine. I have no back problems or shoulder problems because I do all the athlean x pre-hab work to prevent this stuff. But when I do hangs I crack my back the entire way up and down it. And at the end I get a huge pelvis drop out crack on the bottom of my spine. When that one is tight I can feel the need to release the tension somehow. When you do a neck push-through on shoulder hangs you can get additional cracks. Often I unlock the pelvis crack only when I push my head through my shoulders in the middle of a hang.

[@ereaUA]

I think hanging upside down as though you're doing bodyweight shrugs has an incredible effect on the shoulders as well. Especially if you're like me and find your shoulders tend to shrug up on their own.

I wish I knew this before hurting my neck during weighted squats. 30 years of bad posture, 1 second of bad form and boom. Thankfully it isn’t as bad as other people’s injuries.

Great video

[@TheTkrum]

I’ll give you one better. There is something to be said about having zero activation, while hanging. Let me explain. Using a GHD machine with the big pads. Lying face up, on the GHD pads without hooking your feet in the machine and instead allowing yourself to break in half and stay put, for minutes. Allow your legs to dangle, and allow your arms to dangle. Like a backbend, without any activation and having the only support touching the smallest surface area of your lower back. That’s why the GHD machines big pads work best. Find that perfect spot that allows you to bend back and not fall on your head. Your legs and arms hang, head hangs, back hangs, hips get opened up, chest gets opened up, neck releases, mid back releases. It’s gets a little weird. Don’t freak out. It’s an amazing flush.

[@matsg8905]

Hey MO, love the video. Can you clarify on break the bar, do you mean flexing as if rotating arms like you're about to give thumbs-up? or thumbs-down?

[@moversodyssey]

Thumbs up, like your trying to break the middle of the bar by bending the side down and in towards your shoulders. Basically it gets your shoulders and scapula to externally rotate.
