Passive or Active Hang in Pull-ups?

[ubuserusingub]

I do both. The passive hang by itself or while doing a pull-up was essential for improving my shoulder injuries.

I do pull-ups wherever and however. I'm a rugged worker and love having my arms being able to pick up crap from any awkward angle.

I perform way better lowering to passive hang each rep. Active hang feels a little bit odd to me, especially straightening the arms while keeping tension in my scapulas. I do both anyway.

Passive.. take the opportunity to work on your scapula control and strength. You can never have too much of that!🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

I woke up this morning with a rotator cuff tear, I have to leave pullups for now😤😔

Depends what your goal is and what works for you.

Thanks for making this video
Can you also talk about the grip and imporance of the thickness of the bar?

[ben-saidhamdaoui]

Its suppose to feel uncomfortable, because it’s harder. The lat stretches all the way which is the best for muscle growth and strength. Passive IS the real pullup.

[InspecteurWassounet]

When I Deadhang between reps, I feel the stretch of my lats and really feel like my back is engaged, but i find it more challenging to reach failure that way

Thanks for this Simon. I have seen so many videoes now complicating this endlessly and have been no wiser for a long time.

I will do passive hang longer muscle movement seems better...

Passive hang, it’s better for shoulder mobility. Mobility is more important than high reps. I have tried active hang over the years, but active hangs never look like full reps when I go back and review my videos. During the set, active hangs with arms locked do feel like full reps though, oddly.

Really helpful information. Thank you.

I don’t know why but I hate the shrug because of how the pulling feels

[SuperRizwan]

What is this pull up stand called... Can anyone post a link where can I buy it

[blackirish]

People don't like the full hang because they can't pull themselves back up. I watched gym guys try while I don't go to the gym and can do it

[caiocampos]

Hey, what's the name of this pull up support?

[aleccahsjagshaj]

Thanks for the video, may I ask you what type of bar are you using in this video?

[SlikWilly-gxbz]

haven't done passive pullups in years and all this extra weight don't help either
