    To Be Clear: All forms of regular exercise have their advantages, but a daily dead hang can improve your health in ways you probably weren't aware of. Dead hangs are frequently disregarded as a daily exercise. However, hanging from an overhead bar can actually reduce your chance of fatal cardiovascular and respiratory disorders as well as assist your spine and offer your muscles a much-needed stretch. Performing a daily dead hang, in other words, might just save your life. In this video, we bring to you 5 things no one tells you about hanging on a bar.

    Why is it that just about none of the images in this video show a dead hang? They are mostly active hangs (i.e. with flexed muscles) or including movement. A dead hang means that you relax your muscles such that your shoulders come up to your ears and you just hang there motionless. You know, like you're "dead". Maybe that doesn't make for an exciting image but it is misleading.

    I started hanging for the first time 3 months ago. I am 66 years old and have never been able to do more than 60 push-ups in my life. Now I'm up to 90 push-ups in one set. My bench press increased by 30 lb. My forms began to develop in ways they never have before. Now I can see the veins in my arm which adds to my muscular appearance. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

    Hanging leg (or knee) raises.
    Slowly, 2 s up, 2 s down, with no swing.
    That's what i do.
    By the way. How not to swing?
    When lowering the legs and they are halfway down, move extra slowly. This should be where you straighten the lower back, and undo the pelvis tilting up.
    If you know mecanics, you will see that this straighening of the back works as a counter-swing to the legs. But don't worry about that, unless you are a trainer and really like to know why this stops the swinging.
    Mowing extra slowly of course also makes it more effective for the abs.

      @ThePatcarolan
      No, can't say that I have -- from passive hanging!
      But it's very common to get that kind of problems after a couple of months of pull-ups or chin-ups.
      The problem is that you are bending your elbows. Passive hang are always with compleatly straight arms!
      The two best way not to get those problems are.
      1) Don't do the maximum number of pullups you can for, lets say 6 months. Start slowly, so tendons have time to strengthen. That takes more time than for muscles.
      2) Use gymnastic rings.
      It's the twisting of the lower arm you have to do to grip a straight bar which taxes the lower arm muscles too much.
      And 3) Supplement with hydrolyzed collagen and vitamin C.
      That helps building tendons (and bones, skin, blood vessels, etc).
      We are eating too little of that nowadays.
