Im a medical student.... and sitting down all day studying is essential for my career... But all the sitting has hurt me in terrible ways... Thank you for this amazing video...
Just tried this after a few weeks of not training and sitting at a desk all day. I was sore all over just due to lack of movement, neck was killing and no neck mobility exercises were working. Immediate relief... amazing thank you
Duude this was so helpful! I want to cry right now, I've been stuck on trying to understand better scapular function to correct scapular winging and perform better technique on pull ups and push ups. Your drawings were so clear, you can show what's up internally whereas other videos can't. So so great, I'm trying this right now!
im a veteran bodybuilder and I've neglected this stuff, its incredible, just what I was missing. Horse stance for the win and other resting squats plus active hangs progressing into perfect hang
I have been doing the Swan Pull as an active recovery sequence between sets of upper body strength work, never knowing what it was called or that anybody did it on purpose, but it just intuitively felt good and right! Thanks for the info and affirmation of what I have been doing.
Awesome vid! Thank you! I have been doing hangs and scapular pulls in addition to building the posterior muscles overall, and everyone has noticed that my posture is perfect. I never had good posture before, and I am well into my 40's. This works!
I do a hang most mornings. 1 mint 'hollow body' hang with perfect form, scapular pulled down and in. then straight into a about 30 sec of what iv been calling an 'L-hang' witch is the same but with my legs straight out at 90. I've never heard of the swan hang. But i have sometimes pulled my self into this position naturally when adjusting my scapulars. Not held it thought, just transitions in and out of it. Ill try a hold tomorrow. Thank you for another great and informative video! ❤🙏
If you've been doing that for awhile you could probably do some front levers, sounds like you might already being doing some partial front levers. They're not necessary for anything in particular but they look and feel really cool and really develop strong shoulders, back and core. Glad you liked the video, best of luck with your training my friend.
This is informative and I get the art aesthetic, but it would be 10x more helpful with a couple seconds of someone doing the movement rather than static drawings. Maybe even just animating the drawn subjects to perform the movement.
also for me all the constant noise from the drawing and moving the pencil all over the screen sketching it made me agitated and losing focus on the information, if they could lose that would be amazing for some of us
I watched this video like five months ago when I was starting to do dead hangs, and followed your advice on building a base on the active hang and dead hang. Today I tried the perfect hang for the first time and it felt pretty nice. I'll keep doing it, thanks for sharing this amazing exercise with your community
Good luck with this hang, it takes a little while to get a strong contraction in it. But once you get that strong contraction this hang becomes a lot of fun and really helps the posture.
I'm seventy seven years old, I started doing dead hanging after probably twenty five years, the first day I managed five seconds, I'm on week two and am up to a clean two minutes, I van feel my spine stretching and it feels good.
many gyms joined previously in the past, many trainers, exercise scheduels, countless youtube subs and videos saved for posture management. and finally i stumble upon the most basic compound stance that properly actiavates right muscles both at the front and back of body counteracting in the right amount and it miraculously works! Well done sir, you finally cracked the code for all of us homospaiens.
Thank you, never heard of this one before, and I'm in a terrible place right now with upper back, shoulder and neck problems. Shoulder impingement issues means dead hangs or chin ups with wide grip aren't possible, but can do ok with neutral grip.
I wish I knew this before hurting my neck during weighted squats. 30 years of bad posture, 1 second of bad form and boom. Thankfully it isn’t as bad as other people’s injuries.
It's unfortunately a common story, I did something similar with my knee. Squatted heavy and played High School football with bad knee valgus and tore my ACL. I wish you luck my friend .
I think hanging upside down as though you're doing bodyweight shrugs has an incredible effect on the shoulders as well. Especially if you're like me and find your shoulders tend to shrug up on their own.
I do this like 6 times a day to release the tension in my spine. I have no back problems or shoulder problems because I do all the athlean x pre-hab work to prevent this stuff. But when I do hangs I crack my back the entire way up and down it. And at the end I get a huge pelvis drop out crack on the bottom of my spine. When that one is tight I can feel the need to release the tension somehow. When you do a neck push-through on shoulder hangs you can get additional cracks. Often I unlock the pelvis crack only when I push my head through my shoulders in the middle of a hang.
Holy shit! I am into bodybuilding and for 9 months i've always did dead hangs at home to decompress the spine. First time i did this "perfect hang" my shoulders instantly activated forcing me and my neck to stand upright. It also cracked my upper spine relieving some tension there. I will definitly continue doing this and see the long lasting effects.
I’ll give you one better. There is something to be said about having zero activation, while hanging. Let me explain. Using a GHD machine with the big pads. Lying face up, on the GHD pads without hooking your feet in the machine and instead allowing yourself to break in half and stay put, for minutes. Allow your legs to dangle, and allow your arms to dangle. Like a backbend, without any activation and having the only support touching the smallest surface area of your lower back. That’s why the GHD machines big pads work best. Find that perfect spot that allows you to bend back and not fall on your head. Your legs and arms hang, head hangs, back hangs, hips get opened up, chest gets opened up, neck releases, mid back releases. It’s gets a little weird. Don’t freak out. It’s an amazing flush.
So much information, i have to make notes 📝

You probably can't do it in class but at home you could get a standing desk
Why sit when you can lie down lol
do reverse extension too
watch the kneesovertoes guy, he's very good
@@gvngbvngiggy haha even worse you get painful bed sores
There are very few channels that I subscribe to within 15 minutes of watching their content and this is one of them.
I'm glad your enjoying the videos and thank you for subscribing!
Just tried this after a few weeks of not training and sitting at a desk all day. I was sore all over just due to lack of movement, neck was killing and no neck mobility exercises were working.
Immediate relief... amazing thank you
Are you being truthful?
Why wouldn't they?@@kyllmarxiztz
Bro I can't do that shit it's too hard, please help
I liked the drawings, they were helpful to understand as they gradually built up the picture, and they were clear.
Duude this was so helpful! I want to cry right now, I've been stuck on trying to understand better scapular function to correct scapular winging and perform better technique on pull ups and push ups. Your drawings were so clear, you can show what's up internally whereas other videos can't. So so great, I'm trying this right now!
Glad this helped out! Best of luck with your shoulders
Nice!! The resting squat and the dead hang are the big two that I do everyday... sometimes the only thing I do. It's that powerful.
Me too on both. Super important!
im a veteran bodybuilder and I've neglected this stuff, its incredible, just what I was missing. Horse stance for the win and other resting squats plus active hangs progressing into perfect hang
This explains so many things.. 10+ years of chronic pain. I'll do anything to fix this, is not over. God bless this channel.
Nice, go and see your doctor so a therapist sesion with tools to massage begging, you won't regret it.!
how are you now?
@@GreenAlexPower still fighting..
This is an amazing movement! Started doing it for a couple days every few hours and my shoulders have never felt better, thanks for this man!
Info starts at the 2 minute 45 second mark
Nice to see you again after a long time man
It's good to be back
4 months post shoulder surgery. This will add to rehab and get me back on the firetruck! Thank you!
How did it work out, 7 months later?
What kind of shoulder surgery? I tore my labrum and had a surgery to fix it
@@johnstallone4807me as well in 2011 it still not 100% can’t really play b ball no more or over extend it
@@johnstallone4807I also got the latarjet shoulder surgery it’s been a 1 year ago

Was just hanging around and came across this.
Lol

You are really clear and efficient with your guidance. Really one of the best - if not the best - I have seen. These are great! Thank you so much!
Glad your enjoying the content!
Always amazed by the talent it takes to illustrate the movements. You explanations and illustrations are informative fantastic.
I would recommend for beginners, or weak, or seniors to create a bar low enough to do these on tip toe.
This exercise feels amazing. Exactly what I was looking for, I will incorporate this regularly.
Great advice and the animation was very cool. I also loved how you didn't over-complicate the information. Thank you.

Agreed. The drawing was driving me crazy.lol
yea i second this. altho the art is sick, that'd help immensly with understanding the movement
I think he's doing this to be different. You are on youtube, just search for any of the thousands of swan pulls.
also for me all the constant noise from the drawing and moving the pencil all over the screen sketching it made me agitated and losing focus on the information, if they could lose that would be amazing for some of us
Yep. I can’t take this video seriously without some actual examples.

Great explanation of a movement I've never heard of. All the graphics were really helpful, and I can't wait to add this to my regimen!
Looking forward to delving into this channel. High signal is the vibe I immediately got and that got strengthened as the video went on
Cheers

Love your channel, welcome back friend!
A great video about an important topic! I need to start incorporating this move into my front lever program...
my first front lever came from this hang and dragon flags. Did it for a few months then shocked myself with my next front lever attempt.
Just tried it and it feels good. I've already been doing dead and active hangs for a few years. Now I'll be incorporating this into my routine, thanks
this is a great explanation and exercise, thanks a million
good explaining and great drawings which is prevented me from getting distracted. 💯

Such an amazing visual, thank you so much for sharing
Fantastic video
1st time I have seen this hang. Awesome and thanks
The drawings and descriptions are very helpful. Thank you.
im 100% the opinion that you should always keep tension in your abs when hanging. this really puts tension on my shoulders when haning
Thank you. Sounds like A.I. no human just drawings

Not sure if I did it correctly but it reminded me of the cobra pose in yoga - definitely be keeping that in at the end of any hangs.
Absolutely fantastic content and production quality! Love this perfect hang. Great channel!

Was able to push myself without shoulder pain, thanks.
Glad it helped out, this movement was a game changer for my shoulders.
Nice work. Subbed.
*watches this slouched over my phone*
Lol
Best comment 😂
I hold the swan hang currently for 2mins everyday. Gonna add the dynamic part now for like 5-6 slow reps then go to then perfect hang
From there you can always move onto the front lever as well, if your looking for a challenge.
Great video. Is the perfect hang the swan hang? Or just that ability to go through all of the series…
This is amazing stuff thank u!!!
THANK YOU!
great stuff.
Thanks for this video
amazing video, top quality
assisted dip machine is great for this!
Great video 👍
