Hanging is one of the easiest ways to affect your whole body's mobility, spine health, shoulder mechanics, and posture. Hanging increases grip strength which is a predictor of mortality! The benefits of a dead hang are immense but one arm hanging takes us even further! Here's how!

I started lifting when I was 13(I'm 44 now). I was diagnosed with multiple compressed discs which actually shrunk me from 6' 6 1/4" to 6' 5 3/4", a full half inch. Doctor gave me two options, surgery or PT. I did PT for 6 months and it helped but my buddy, who is also 6' 6" with back problems from being a construction foreman suggested hanging. Hanging helped just as much as the PT and there was no co-pay so I dropped the PT. The shit works.

I’m a Stretch Therapist and I recommend to my clients that they passively hang anytime they can ( gym, play ground, anywhere there’s a bar) . The things we naturally do as kids are what our body needs for our whole lives. Full, resting squats and hanging are just two.
Good video!

Can confirm, I dislocated my shoulder snowboarding YEARS ago and had partial dislocations while rock climbing afterwards. It wasn't until I began passive hanging and scapula pull ups that all of that went away. I'm exited to progress to the 1 armed hangs!

Happy monkeying around y'all

At 61 years old, I did my first hang two days ago at the gym. I was only able to hang for 35 seconds, but I felt an incredible popping along my lower hips, which were always very tight. The next morning, my hips felt great. I'm planning on incorporating this during every workout. My goal is hopefully within a few weeks, I'll be able to hold the hang for a minute.

I’m 53 and have been weight lifting since I was 15. In my 40’s my body started to fall apart with injuries. I stumbled upon you channel when I turned 50 and have been hanging daily. That led to fixing problems in my back and shoulders that I thought were due to age. I also fixed my chronic golfers elbow and can now do full, perfect form pull ups…. 15 in a go and for a number of sets.

I thought I’d lose my muscularity dropping heavy weight but in fact, my body got muscular in ways like never before. Most important is the level of mobility I’ve achieved. Literally I’ve erased age from my body.

Good luck to all on your fitness journey 💪🏼

My Granddad always hung from a trapeze in the house . He said it would make him tall but I think he knew how strong it made him . He was incredibly strong even into his nineties .

This absolutely works - it fixed an ongoing intermittent impingement issue I had for years in both shoulders. When I started passive hanging a year ago I couldn't even support my entire body weight for 3 seconds due to the extreme pain in my right shoulder. So I started with my feet on the ground, slowly adding body weight each day until I could go without my feet on the ground. By the end of the first month I was up to 30 seconds and a 50% reduction in pain (with improved range of motion). By the end of month 3 I could hang for 90 seconds (1st set) and all pain was gone with a return to full range of motion. A year later I hang every day I'm in the gym (6 days/week) and typically do 3-5 sets depending on my workout. Shoulders are healthy, grip strength is the best ever, and my back feels great. Highly recommend to everyone!

I am 70 year old, female, various accidents when hiking and climbing. Once multiple fine lines of broken pelvis were seen in the x-ray, I strengthen my core, frontal, shoulders and back by hanging. I do it since 3 years. After half a year I to it I had broken my right wrist, and after removing the plaster I had pain for in the wrist and elbow area for more than a year, when doing planks. Then I remembered hanging. I started again and today I am fine. Of course I had to become more cautious when outdoors, as being older means that full recovery takes more time. But hanging is THE go-to for healing my body and keep me strong. Thank you Team for your fantastic advice.

I´m sick and tired of being overweight and unfit. Grateful to have found your channel. Thank you for the good advice.

As a 55 year old yoga practitioner, I started hanging due to my slipped disc issues in lumbar and cervical spine. I have shoulder bursitis due to sit-down job. I can definitely vouch for hanging method. It’s helped decompress my discs as well increase shoulder strength, though I am only in basics of hanging exercise. Thanks for sharing.

Almost a year ago, I got a pull-up bar because I thought it would feel good to hang and stretch out my shoulders and back (and there wasn't one around here to use). I was dealing with significant chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic Lyme, which included me feeling like I was coming down with the flu all the time (or I used to say I felt like someone poisoned me). The first time I hung from that bar, I felt this release through my upper chest and felt lightheaded. A few minutes later, I realized that "poisoned" feeling was GONE. I've hung from my bar every day since, and over time that feeling has reduced to rare, brief occurrences. I suspect i opened up my upper lymphatic channels (the Perrin technique for CFS focuses on supporting the thoracic duct). As I'm getting my energy back, this video is inspiring me to step up my hanging game!

This is no joke! I've had a bad shoulder for about 8 years, caused primarily by landing on it in two different bike crashes (did physical therapy, it didn't help) and then aggravating recently doing handstand pushups. My shoulder mobility on that side was very limited and I couldn't sleep on that side. I needed to support my elbow with a pillow while sitting to mitigate discomfort
I saw this video last week and thought I'd try it. After the first day of passive hanging, I felt like things might already be improving. After the second day, I knew my shoulder was improving. I am a week into it and the symptoms I had are almost entirely gone. It's crazy how much it helped me

Thanks for the great video!!!!

I hope you understand that grip strength and lower all cause mortality is not BECAUSE of the gripstrength itself, it's because a person with stronger grip is generally a well trained more healthy person.

I put a bar to hang on in the garage and practice every so often. My daughter (who works out regularly) saw me hanging and said she was impressed because "not many guys at the gym can hold their own body weight." This is not bragging, but a testimony to your research about how 'we' don't utilize our primal capabilities anymore.

[movinvince]

This is a must do for every human! Doing this now for 4 years almost dailey, passive active and arched. It so relaxing on the shoulders and spine, it sometimes feels like yoga ( which I am teaching and doing the last 14 years).

So let us all Hang in there💪🙏🏼

[SF_Native]

I built a garage gym during covid and have a pull up bar, which I used for pull ups. I did so many during home work outs, i can do 20 strict ones, and while I always hanged off it for short periods of time, halfway through this video I realized I never tried to hang for a full minute. Just went down and tried it and it wasn't bad! Happy my grip strength didn't give out! Will start doing this more regularly.

[brettkuhn]

This is awesome, thanks for the video! I started getting discouraged watching this, because I had shoulder surgery when I was 17, and have had a few dislocations since. But hearing at the end that you had the same problem and were able to grow past it is great news. I’ll start implementing this slowly and hopefully regain full movement. Thanks!

[phobowl]

Dude I’m so glad I found this channel 5-6 years ago. Your outlook and functional approach to fitness shaped a lot of what my fitness philosophy is currently.
Thank you guys. At 51 I’m the fittest older guy among my friends group and can still run circles around guys 1/2 my age.
