    Hanging from a bar or branch is a simple but highly effective way to improve your upper body mobility, grip strength, and shoulder health. Hanging for a few (cumulative) minutes per day can offer a powerful stimulus to combat the ill effects of sitting. This can prevent shoulder issues, improve posture, and unlock performance benefits.
    I've seen improvements in my shoulder mobility since integrating the passive hang. In future, I'll be doing this more and more, as shoulder mobility is still an issue for me, and a limiting factor when it comes to my handstands.
    In this video, I discuss the difference between the passive hang and active hang. I also talk about some even cooler variations: the swing and traversing. Enjoy!

    Of all of the "Do this everyday!" fitness things I've tried, this is the only one I will 100% stick to for as long as I'm physically able. When I first saw this video, I was in so much back pain that I would come home from work and immediately lie down, because I genuinely could not sit any longer without excruciating pain (I'm a former Amazon driver) I bought a pull up bar after seeing this video, and after two weeks, I have no more pain. At all. I've been keeping up with it for like 4 months now I think. I honestly cry when I think about it sometimes. I'm only 27, I thought that it was just going to keep getting worse. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I tell everyone to do it. Everytime my girlfriend complains about her back, I just look at her, and she goes, "I know, I know. Why aren't I dangling"

    I damaged my rotator cuff around 5 years ago in a scuffle . Never went to the doctor . No money for treatment . Rotater cuff has been popping and crunching ever since.
    I’ve been doing the hanging for 25-30 secs. Rest for 45 seconds. Repeat 3-4 times every two days.
    Less popping, less crunching , less pain.
    Improved posture , and heightened muscle definition .

      I strained the middle part of my arm doing Dumbbell bench presses and I couldnt do dumbbells curls any longer since when I would try to lift the DB for a full ROM I would feel excruciating pain. I tried letting it heal for 2 months but nothing was happening. I then started doing these hangs every other day like you have and now I am feeling much better after about 3 weeks. Not totally 100% healed up but I am getting there thanks to doing this exercise. Going to very likely stick with it as well since it has many benefits.

    One of my goals was to be able to do a legit pull-up (no kipping/from a dead hang). For a while I could only pull about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way up, so I would just hang and see how long I can hold it as a way to not be discouraged. Then I started flexing my back. Then I can pull closer. Then next thing you know, from a dead hang, I can pull up chin over the bar with ease. Its a good way to build up to pull ups definitely.

    • @hazardeur
      @hazardeur Před rokem +17

      another hack for you: every other day, instead of pulling up, step onto something that levels your height with the bar so you can just grab it right away and be in the end position then let go with your legs of whatever your standing on and just let yourself down slowly. our muscles are around 30% stronger on the eccentric movements so you should be able to do more of these let-downs then doing full pullups. you could also do pull ups to the max and when you're done, do the eccentric movement only. it's a natural and efficient way to maximize muscle growth and therefore in the same time also gets you a better posture.

    This is a great exercise especially as you get older. Any amount of time will do, it depends on what you want out of it. I had a stiff shoulder and instead of going for physio, I just started hanging from a chin up bar we have on our deck. I can't even remember when the shoulder pain went away, I just noticed one day it wasn't a problem. I incorporated this simple exercise as a micro habit by tacking it on to an existing habit - making coffee. The coffee machine needs a minute to warm up to steam the milk, so while I'm waiting I hang from the bar for 30 seconds. I concentrate on relaxing my back and shoulder muscles and can definitely feel the spine stretching - sometimes I get a nice satisfying pop. If I'm feeling energetic I finish the 30 seconds with one chin up. But I don't stress about it, I'm not doing body building or any kind of training, just an old guy wanting to keep my mobility. I've got some good callouses on my hands now, it's been a habit for a couple of years now. 👍

    I've had impingement shoulders / bone deformity of the acromion and had shoulder pain all my life and was told I needed surgery to get the acromion shaved. Not long after that I herniated my l4/l5 disc and tried hanging as a means to help heal the disc. Well it's been a year and my back is still fucked. But miraculously it's reshaped the acromiom and opened that subacromial space as mentioned in this video.

    I’ve dealt with extreme muscle tension/tightness in my back for 10 years. I’ve tried everything to relieve it. Foam rolling, rolling on a lacrosse ball, stretching, I have numerous massagers, etc…. And these have only helped temporarily if at all. I came across a video last week about the benefits of hanging. I am on day four now. By day 2, the majority of tension was GONE and as of now it hasn’t come back like it had with the other things I tried. My thoracic spine moves fluidly now. I’m just blown away and almost speechless. The better half of 10 years dealing with this to no luck of relief until now. If anyone reading this has any back issues, I urge you to get on a bar and hang. This is an absolute godsend. Something so simple….

I was described as "freakishly strong" by everyone despite the fact that I am little with a small frame. I realized this was likely due to fascia being stretched while simultaneously being strengthened. Then your video pops up. Thanks!

      I promise illnesses and higher medical bills come with inactivity as you get older. I know too many people who haven't put health as a priority and it shows. I've just turned 60 and I have been very active practically my whole life. I've also made it a point to eat somewhat healthy most of my life; floss practically every day; the whole 9 yards.. I cannot stress how important these things are. Please believe me, healthy food and consistent exercise always, always, always is the best way to age. Years fly by.
      One other thing is, I hate the idea of taking patented medicines that work to alleviate symptoms but not actually address the root cause. I always try to address the root cause naturally if possible first.
