Dead Hang
Muscles: Forearms, Back, Biceps, Core
Form tips
- Grip the bar just outside shoulder width, palms forward
- Let your body hang fully, arms straight
- Pack the shoulders down away from ears — don't go completely loose
- Breathe steadily and hold
Common mistakes
- Shrugging shoulders up toward ears instead of actively depressing them
- Bending the elbows to cheat the hang
- Holding breath
