Dead Hang

Grip and Shoulders

WHAT IS IT

The Dead Hang holds the body still from a pull-up bar. It builds the grip that the farmers carry and the sled pull drain, and opens the shoulders between hard sets.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Grip the bar a little wider than the shoulders, palms away.
  2. 2Step or jump off and let the body hang straight, legs together.
  3. 3Keep the shoulders slightly active rather than fully relaxed.
  4. 4Breathe and hold for the time on the board without swinging.
  5. 5Step down under control; never drop from the bar.
