I consider dead hang and ATG squats my two most important exercises. For dead hang workouts, I prefer to keep it primal, do what I feel like doing, and go with the flow. This has made it fun and keeps me looking forward to the workouts. I am sitting here right now and cannot wait for my dead hang workout tomorrow. My progress has been steady. My two-arm dead hang is 110 seconds the last time I maxed. I have not tested my one-arm hang max yet, but I do regularly do one-arm dead hangs in my workouts.

nice Jake, 110" is great! I also find that keeping it fun but also high frequency (at least one DH a day since forearm muscles tend to recover pretty fast) works great as well!

Did you know that grip strength is important in karate? A karate person doesn't grab your arm by the clothes. He grabs the upper arm muscle and tries to inflict so much destruction with finger/grip strength that the arm would be useless in further combat. Some styles of karate even toughen up the wrist bone to use to strike nerve centers of an opponents forearm. Tap along the thumb side of your forearm and you'll feel the pain.

There was a study done some time ago, I can't think of when at the moment, on monkeys because their grip strength is incredible. Likely, from being in their own habitat swinging from trees. Grip conditioning carries over to a powerful grappling ground game to becoming unstoppable in your weight training. Thank you for the video!

Excellent Anthony, my shoulders are wrecked (20+ years of rugby) so hanging is now my thing. While hanging I also do scapula mobility movement is this wrong ? Thanks.

@BodyweightMuscle 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, passive hanging is believed to offer the most value for shoulder health! But you can use both. I like to do mobility stuff during my warm-up and do the passive deadhang during my workout or at the end of a day (coupled with some hamstring stretching before bed usually). Here's an exercise I include in my warm-up: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNGgd8qJ0ri6emw.html

Hey there, i was looking for this kind of videos all over the internet, i've been doing deadhangs for about 9 months now, i can do 1:40 double arm and about 40 secs on one arm, problem is i was able to do this about 2 months only when i started working out and since then i cant see a second of progress, i am aiming to reach new highs and it seems like everything i do doesnt work, for the record i train deadhangs twice a week in a seperate session aside from calisthenics, i usually aim for about 5-12 min of hang time per session, if you can give me some tips on how i can increase my hang time on the bar i will be extremely grateful.

Hi Void, Forearms and grip-strength training generally have a higher capacity for handling and recovering from higher training volumes compared to other muscle groups. Therefore, higher training frequency and volume is possible and recommended if you’ve hit a plateau. Here are a few reasons for this: a) Muscle Fiber Composition: The forearms consist of a higher proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers, which are more resistant to fatigue and can recover relatively quickly. These fibers are better suited for endurance-type activities and can tolerate higher training volumes. b) Daily Use and Conditioning: The forearms are involved in a wide range of daily activities and tasks that require constant use and conditioning. These regular daily movements and activities can condition the forearms to handle higher training volumes more effectively. c) Smaller Muscle Group: The forearms are relatively small muscle groups compared to the larger muscle groups of the legs, back, or chest. Smaller muscles generally have a shorter recovery time and can handle higher training volumes. Still, as with everything, it's important to note that individual differences exist, and not everyone's forearms will respond the same way to higher training volumes. Factors such as genetics, recovery capacity, training experience, and overall training goals should be considered when determining the appropriate training volume and frequency for any muscle group. Always listen to your body, monitor your recovery, and adjust your training accordingly to avoid overtraining and potential injuries.
