Bruh. What are these mind-blowing benefits from this painful exercise. Crying and screaming in pain is the only thing I think about when doing dead hangs.
Had a serious back injury at 19, I’m 59 now and have been hanging every day for 40 years. I avoided surgery and the decompression factor is what works for me. I’m an endurance cyclist and when you know your body and find things that work specifically for you, there is nothing better. With respect I know it doesn’t work for everyone, as we are all different.
Could you kindly share how long you hang for, and what do you do when the bar is not high enough for a free hang, as in do you do what the lady did towards the end of the video.
@@anukulkarni2979 I start by hanging with my toes just touching the ground, 4-5 times for 30 seconds each time. I actually repeat this many times throughout the day, I used to have a bar across a door frame in my office. At home my bar is across a loft access hole, so easy to do. I gradually build up to full extension with no feet touching the ground, only when fully warmed up. Even at 72kg and six feet tall you can feel it’s an aggressive movement. I then like the lady at the end of the video, pull alternating knees up to my chest, as far as I can which stretches your abdominals. Core strength is what I constantly work on because of my injury, keeping my weight down is also a huge factor. Cycling is all compression and because of my injury hanging combats it. Hope this helps you. 👍🏼
@@carlosdeno Your instructions were super clear, instructive, and helpful. I found it admirable that you stuck to this practice for four decades.Clearly, you enjoyed doing the practice and also derived benefit from it. Yes, the bar is across a door frame. So when I just stand by the door frame, the feet touch the ground, and the bar is within the hands reach. When I attempted to hang, I notice that there is a stretch felt mainly in the hands, arms, and I have to tuck the legs in/bend knees. Will try to keep at this for now, and if you feel inclined to, please share what you think might be the next step. I appreciate very much your kind intention, with which you shared. With the inspiration derived from you, I will try to endeavor at this, and will maybe reach out here when questions come up during practice. Thank you again for sharing your experience with this practice.
How do we prevent calluses from forming when using a bar with foamy material (as in it is soft to begin with). Also, once they start to form, how do you nip/cure them in the bud.
Used to do just pullups and could 17-24 depending from the day. Had shoulder pain and lower back pain for maybe a decade. Started hanging around 8 months ago. Since then the shoulder pain and lower back discomfort has completely disappeared. Trying to hang every day atleast 45 seconds. Even smaller time helps and does not matter if you do it all at once or rest in between. Once you start hanging you see quick development as your grip strength increases. I went from just over a minute to over three minutes in about two months.
@@ourmodernlife1524 i had been struggling with shoulder pain for years, to the point it messed up my sleep. I started hanging and felt improvement after a week, no surprise I kept doing it to the point I'm totally pain free for some years now. Hanging did wonders for me. I was able to do push ups again and make my shoulders strong and painfree
In 2020 I tore my left rotator cuff, came across a book on this therapy. I tried it out, and within 1-2 months I was able to do things that I hadn’t been able to do in 30 years. I never saw my Orthopedic Surgeon about my shoulder again. I highly recommend that you look into this therapy.
I suffered from shoulder impingement for weeks that limited my workouts. My rotator cuff muscles were weak and under-developed causing the imbalance and pain. After trying numerous rehab rotator cuff exercises and stretches that provided only temporary relief, what worked best by far was the dead hang. I have now worked up to doing 10 x 35 second dead hangs per day and the shoulder impingement is nearly gone.
I've been enjoying this exercise everyday for almost 3 years now and can definitely tell you that its alittle strange being able to rest my hands flat on the floor while standing straight up😂
I'm 45 and can do that and I never did this exercise in my life lol. Doctors are amazed when I hit the floor so easily lol. Imma start hanging though now after watching this.
@Kanye North I'm sorry I was trying to make a joke about standing up on my feet and doing it because of my arms being stretched out too long, but that would definitely take alot of balance and strength to do what you do, I can't do a handstand but I am trying to do some hanging but not full body weight yet I injured my shoulder and starting to do some light rehab exercises for it. From what I've read it seems like this dead hanging has helped a lot of people, I think I'm going to try to give it a shot also, thanks bro.
True. As a Bodyworker/ Massage Therapist I endorse this. Soooo many benefits!!!! I use bar and rings. Rings to hang below rings and also lift hang or above the rings.
Dude .... I've broke my neck many years ago and 12 years later something changed and been in pain 3 years , I thought arthritis and been doing stretches and cracks that are helping but not enough, I've tied my head to the roof to straighten my back but nope.. This never came to mind but gonna try it... I've never thought how a long arm pull might move my spine and back muscles that I've been torturing myself with to feel better. I'll leave another comment in a month or so.... this works o.m.g.
I make it a point to do this whenever at the gym its great and along with planking these are good times to plot out the next string of activities. Stay active guys its life changing
There are so many videos available in UA-cam on fitness but the way you describe and edit your video this is incredible it also help people us to motivate to exercise daily... Thanks for share your knowledge.. If you describe how to breathing properly when workout it will be very helpful
If needed, use straps, especially if the bar you hang from is thick (thicker than a normal barbell) and/or you have small hands. Magnesia or resin vill also increase the "grip-performance".
I dead hang one episode daily. Lately I've been consistently hanging for 90 seconds, but my record is 1' 45". I'd like to get up to over 3 minutes. I've just started with one-arm hanging which is really hard for me. I can only do a one-arm hang for about 4 seconds right now, but that's better than when I first tried!
@@hereitcomes3912 I don't know about that. I haven't noticed anything, and I would hardly expect a postural change from 5 seconds of a one-arm hang, or even 30 seconds. It's more of a grip-strength exercise that challenges your forearm. If you are dead hanging to fix a shoulder issue, I probably wouldn't do a one-arm hang.
How long can you hang? Share your results👇 Watch our new video: How To Increase Your Pull-Ups in 1 Month -- ua-cam.com/video/JY-J5yPlkBI/v-deo.htmlsi=8SEEwb_z_vAENdlp
I started doing one minute before I do cardio in the am. I’m up to minute 15 to minute and a half before and I added another hang after cardio ( 20 min of jumping rope) the second hang I get 50 seconds to a minute. After a month or so. I need more consistency and practice , practice practice. Maybe I feel a little better but never have any shoulder or back pain in the first place.
This might be exaggerated, but it's good for you. Whenever you can get gravity to quit compressing you. If you can't hang, go in a swimming pool. The same thing.
Thankyou, Much Appreciated. You've brought back Pleasant memories of my past,and not to distant Training experiences THANKS for the ' Reminder '❤❤ ❤ 👍👍👍!!!! *******
A very interesting video in which a simple but very effective exercise is explained well and logically in terms of benefits. I'm going to incorporate this exercise, which I've done briefly here and there, into my daily routine. However, I recommend holding on to the bar in the so-called instep grip, i.e. with your thumb under the bar. This gives you a better grip.
I used to do it for 10 minutes, sometimes in gravity boots. I didn't sit at a desk though, I climbed ladders and moved materials. I could probably still do two minutes but its been a long time. I can say it did ease back pain through decompression.
@@Uuyrijies1123 Rhabdomyolysis from extreme physical training in my field of work. That with the heat and the heavy lifting, my back has been thoroughly used by construction. Pushed my body beyond it's limits I did. I mostly do stretching and planks these days. I thought I was dying, so far I am still alive hahaha. Medicine keeping me alive right now which I hate to admit. I don't want to believe it. Anyway thanks for asking have a nice day :)
@@oghren6617 Electrical construction. Never in my life did I imagine some of the heavy lifting or overhead hammer drilling. I also got the crane operators cert. The sponsor I had for the crane had complete spinal fusion from being a crane operator. When we were in the program, we asked can't they install some kind shock absorption? It's expensive enough they said haha. Too expensive. So is the insurance I guess. I've watched so many OSHA videos on cranes collapsing.
Pairing this with farmer walks (double working up to single carry) (spine stabilization) (traverse abdominal wall) can help keep your back pain to a minimum.
Great video. Totally agree. But beg to differ - " Hanging increases blood flow to upper body" - not accurate. Blood pools in the leg due to gravity. Arm muscles responsible for suspension of body weight squeeze the venous capacitance vessels out. Also there is hardly any muscular pumping of venous capacitance vessels of lower half of body since lower half body muscles are passively suspended. If you squeeze your lower half of the body muscles tight, you can to a certain extent overcome gravity mediated peripheral pooling of blood. But overall great video. I can easily hang a minute straight and hold handstand for a minute too with one toe touching the wall.
If i have carpal tunnel symptoms which are under control with cortisone shots in my wrist is it ok to do this exercise. My grip strength is real good and the finger and thumb test done by the hand surgeon shows good strength as well. But every 5 to 6 months the tingling returns in those 3 fingers and i need to get a new shot. He says sooner or later i will need surgery? I am 67 and have been exercising for years and have been doing dead hangs not religiously for a while but now i want to do more. What is your thoughts on this. Please let me know to help alleviate my worries. Maybe you know of someone who has carpal tunnel and are able to deal with it like myself. Thank you
A *LOT* of baseless inferences here. "hanging increases blood flow to your upper body, this includes your brain, increased blood flow to the brain (somehow) means increased concentration and focus"
the title says "how it changed my body" but i only saw generic statements about what hanging affects but no personal comments about how your body was changed, so although i personally do hanging and i agree with it i think that the title is misleading
If you have had rotator cuff surgery in the past you may want to avoid this exercise. I am pretty sure this exercise has led to my current shoulder pain which is reminiscent of before I had surgery 15 years ago.
You may want to actively strengthen your rotator cuffs strength and stability. Ofcourse it depends but one shouldn't write it off because of surgery and often times suboptimal rehab afterwards
QUESTION: when hanging, should you lower your head? Raise your head? just getting started. While doing the stability ball, fell forward and now having pain and 'soreness' in my neck and chest. Hoping hanging will help. TFS
There's still an open question for me. How much do you actually relax? Like don't you need to keep some tension in your muscles? If I go completely limp, I feel like my lower back is becoming disarticulated and it's painful.
I used to be younger and now I'm older. One day I will hang. I WILL HANG, DAMN YOU! I will never ever give up and there is absolutely nothing that could ever stop me from reaching this goal. This excercice will help improve the function of my liver AND kidneys. I WILL master the dead hang. It is unlikely that I succeed on the first attempt, so I will begin safely without over-doing it. This will increase my focus and fix my cancer and diabetes. After this, I will be able to do rock climbing! Increased grip strength will also help me open doors and jars! I will feel more alert and focused, it will also impact my sleep and overall health. I will add this to my dAILY ROUTInE, DAMN YOU ALKL TO HELL IF I DONT!
Just keep at it consistently, and maybe use a grip exerciser to build grip strength. It's surprising how fast you can progress from even humble beginnings.
@@slydog7131 Thanks! I might see progress, but I also tell myself that five seconds is better than zero seconds. If I can do the five second hang two to five times a day for five or six days a week, that will help my back and shoulders according to most physical therapists. At my age and health, I have to accept little victories.
i'm a 74 yr. man and active with house and yard work, moderate walking and biking and avid golfer but idon't work out or lift weights. can i do hanging safely?
I think better to do shorter hangs and not push yourself too fast. Got a kink in my upper middle back and spasm between right shoulder and back. And I think pushing myself to a minute and a half before I was truly ready may have caused it. 67
How much of this is actually backed by scientific evidence? I am a believer that hanging (not with a rope around your neck) has benefits, but the list is clearly very wide here...
Grip strength and posture and shoulder getting better is all rock solid. Those are enough benefits. It's a great upperbody stretch that frankly feels good.
@@datoolz0I’ve had chronic back and shoulder pain for 2 years now and it’s unbearable at times, been to many doctors trying to fix my shoulder and when I saw this I got excited, been doing it for maybe 2-3 weeks and nothing has changed…
@@AjaxJG . Rotator cuff strengthening & shoulder injury repair Dead hangs are beneficial for rotator cuff strengthening and shoulder injury repair. There have been numerous cases of people recovering from shoulder injuries, aches and pains, specifically through the rotator cuff, by simply performing the dead hang. A medical professional by the name of Dr. Kirsch explains in his book “Shoulder pain, the solution, and prevention”, how nature intended movement patterns for our shoulders that we are not currently participating in. This leaves us both weak and injury-prone. Through prescribing his shoulder injury patients the dead hang exercise, 90 out of the 92 patients in one study were healed. They would have, otherwise, required surgery.
Indeed to Allah we belong and indeed we will return back to Him. The One and Only Powerful Being. Submit to Him Alone and worship Him Alone. This is the straight path there is no other path as true as the path of Islam because the core belief is unbreakable which is to believe in a One God and the Quran which is so powerful when you read even a couple of chapters. What's is more pure than a One God and a message to mankind There is no God but Allah The One God and Muhammad is His final messenger. La ilaha illallah hu Muhammadur asoolullah.
i have been doing this for years non consistently. everyone is saying this changes your body. i do not see that. i can hang for about two minutes depending on the grip. Maybe this is targeted at people who are not very fit?
@@godwin8260 i get worse results when i do it every day. after a week of doing it daily the time i can hang reduces from 2 minutes straight to less than 100 sec. i need 1 day break in between do increase the time. so i dont see how doing this daily 365 days a year is beneficial. maybe adding this to a workout routin push/pull/Legs + cardio is just to much for my body.
Question to anyone who reads this - does the bar hanging has to be performed with straight legs or they can be bent? My feet touch the floor when I grab my bar at home so wonder if it will be as beneficial as the whole body straight or not..? Please kindly advise 🙌🏻
It is better to hang with straight legs, it will let your body to be fully stretched, but you can still hang with bent legs if you do not have an opportunity to do so. It's not a big problem anyway
Here are the benefits:
- Stretches the body
- Improves posture
- Improves flexibility of shoulders, hips and knees
- Releases tensin in muscles and joints
- Redues back and neck pain
- Improves balance and stability
- Helps your digestion system
- Helps the function of the liver and the kidneys
- Helps you do a pull up
- Helps the circulatory system
- Improves concentration, focus and reduces mental fatigue
- Reduces inflammation
- Helps to prevent diabetes, heart desease and cancer
- Strengthens your grip and forarms
- Prevents injury to wrists and hands
- Improves your mood and reduces anxiety
- Helps you relax and reduces stress
- Improves sleep quality

I have just worked up to 1.20 minutes. Maybe one day I'll be able to do 3 minutes.
so many benefits to be true, im going to search for more information about this
when he said that hanging can reduce some negative effects of my lifestyle ... I felt that ... :pepehang:
I love this video actually 🔥🔥🔥
For those who don't workout may think it might be 3 minutes but damn it's literal hell doing it.
A *LOT* of baseless inferences here. "hanging increases blood flow to your upper body, this includes your brain, increased blood flow to the brain (somehow) means increased concentration and focus"
Came for how 3 minutes of hanging changed your body as stated in the title. Left without knowing how 3 minutes of hanging changed your body 😶
This exercise will be great for my neck💪💪
I took this video's advice, and now I have quite an entourage. I'm not sure I like being followed by a bunch of hangers-on.
Great information!
Is hanging better than an inversion table? If so why?
the title says "how it changed my body" but i only saw generic statements about what hanging affects but no personal comments about how your body was changed, so although i personally do hanging and i agree with it i think that the title is misleading
Thank you
I'm starting tomorrow 😋
Thanks.
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم ❤
Really difficult when your nearly 2m tall to find somewhere to hang every day.
i love how the voice kind of sounds like mark hamill
Instructions unclear: I hanged myself to death (Real, I'm a ghost now)
I’m really unfit but for some reason I can deadhang for 3 minutes whilst not even being able to do 4 pull ups
Hanging for me, made me go from 145lb to 0lb
If you have had rotator cuff surgery in the past you may want to avoid this exercise. I am pretty sure this exercise has led to my current shoulder pain which is reminiscent of before I had surgery 15 years ago.
You may want to actively strengthen your rotator cuffs strength and stability. Ofcourse it depends but one shouldn't write it off because of surgery and often times suboptimal rehab afterwards
Dont hang for too long. Benefits are in regular short hangs imo.
QUESTION: when hanging, should you lower your head? Raise your head? just getting started. While doing the stability ball, fell forward and now having pain and 'soreness' in my neck and chest. Hoping hanging will help. TFS
Just keep your head straight
Is hanging better before or after weight lifting?
After
Lots of health claims here but no science studies to back them up.
There's still an open question for me. How much do you actually relax? Like don't you need to keep some tension in your muscles? If I go completely limp, I feel like my lower back is becoming disarticulated and it's painful.
yes a slight brace in your core and heavy tension in the hands
I was trying to hang for 3, I ended up hanging for 1 minute but the rope snapped.
I used to be younger and now I'm older. One day I will hang. I WILL HANG, DAMN YOU! I will never ever give up and there is absolutely nothing that could ever stop me from reaching this goal. This excercice will help improve the function of my liver AND kidneys. I WILL master the dead hang. It is unlikely that I succeed on the first attempt, so I will begin safely without over-doing it. This will increase my focus and fix my cancer and diabetes. After this, I will be able to do rock climbing! Increased grip strength will also help me open doors and jars! I will feel more alert and focused, it will also impact my sleep and overall health. I will add this to my dAILY ROUTInE, DAMN YOU ALKL TO HELL IF I DONT!
Dont forget the antipsychotics bro 🤙
This video makes it sound so easy…
I barely can hang for 20 seconds, I'll work on improving it
Keep it up 💪
Everyone should try to include other exercises to achieve better overall fitness.
Is hanging upside down just as beneficial using an inversion table ????
When is the best moment to practice hanging? after or before workout?
After
I'm at about five seconds. At my age and health, I'll probably never reach three minutes, but five seconds is better than nothing.
Just keep at it consistently, and maybe use a grip exerciser to build grip strength. It's surprising how fast you can progress from even humble beginnings.
@@slydog7131 Thanks! I might see progress, but I also tell myself that five seconds is better than zero seconds. If I can do the five second hang two to five times a day for five or six days a week, that will help my back and shoulders according to most physical therapists. At my age and health, I have to accept little victories.
I use a inversion table for ten minutes before my workouts. Is there a difference between hanging and inversion ? Thank you in advance.
i'm a 74 yr. man and active with house and yard work, moderate walking and biking and avid golfer but idon't work out or lift weights. can i do hanging safely?
You can if you don't have back problems, but start to do it carefully
I think better to do shorter hangs and not push yourself too fast. Got a kink in my upper middle back and spasm between right shoulder and back. And I think pushing myself to a minute and a half before I was truly ready may have caused it. 67
Can we talk about the 3 second hang instead, please?
“Me? Nothin. Just hangin around”
How much of this is actually backed by scientific evidence? I am a believer that hanging (not with a rope around your neck) has benefits, but the list is clearly very wide here...
Grip strength and posture and shoulder getting better is all rock solid. Those are enough benefits. It's a great upperbody stretch that frankly feels good.
really? i thought hanging by your neck was a great exercise 🤡
@@datoolz0I’ve had chronic back and shoulder pain for 2 years now and it’s unbearable at times, been to many doctors trying to fix my shoulder and when I saw this I got excited, been doing it for maybe 2-3 weeks and nothing has changed…
@@AjaxJG . Rotator cuff strengthening & shoulder injury repair
Dead hangs are beneficial for rotator cuff strengthening and shoulder injury repair. There have been numerous cases of people recovering from shoulder injuries, aches and pains, specifically through the rotator cuff, by simply performing the dead hang.
A medical professional by the name of Dr. Kirsch explains in his book “Shoulder pain, the solution, and prevention”, how nature intended movement patterns for our shoulders that we are not currently participating in. This leaves us both weak and injury-prone.
Through prescribing his shoulder injury patients the dead hang exercise, 90 out of the 92 patients in one study were healed. They would have, otherwise, required surgery.
Is your thumbs being involved in this dead hang? Or do we keep it all on one side with our fingers?
Indeed to Allah we belong and indeed we will return back to Him. The One and Only Powerful Being. Submit to Him Alone and worship Him Alone. This is the straight path there is no other path as true as the path of Islam because the core belief is unbreakable which is to believe in a One God and the Quran which is so powerful when you read even a couple of chapters. What's is more pure than a One God and a message to mankind There is no God but Allah The One God and Muhammad is His final messenger. La ilaha illallah hu Muhammadur asoolullah.
Nice video. Would you suggest hanging for 3 mins daily or at an interval?
5 days a week would be okay
Any citations?
i have been doing this for years non consistently. everyone is saying this changes your body. i do not see that.
i can hang for about two minutes depending on the grip.
Maybe this is targeted at people who are not very fit?
duh because youre not doing it consistently
@@godwin8260 i get worse results when i do it every day.
after a week of doing it daily the time i can hang reduces from 2 minutes straight to less than 100 sec.
i need 1 day break in between do increase the time.
so i dont see how doing this daily 365 days a year is beneficial.
maybe adding this to a workout routin push/pull/Legs
+ cardio is just to much for my body.
What about ankle weights for your knees?
The video keeps saying it "can help". It means its benefits are only probable, not certainty.
You can read the comments, many people describe their experience of hanging. Also, it worked for me
Doing a 3 min. hang is virtually impossible. Just do 3 1 min. hangs and you'll be a toddler amongst zygotes
Can you use gloves or will that negate any of the positive benefits?
You can, if you have some problems with your hand skin
It can't be done "anywhere". My house is too small for this
All true, but pls don`t call that exercise "death hang".Instead what about "full body stretch"🤔
Question to anyone who reads this - does the bar hanging has to be performed with straight legs or they can be bent? My feet touch the floor when I grab my bar at home so wonder if it will be as beneficial as the whole body straight or not..? Please kindly advise 🙌🏻
It is better to hang with straight legs, it will let your body to be fully stretched, but you can still hang with bent legs if you do not have an opportunity to do so. It's not a big problem anyway
Be sure to keep that slightly core engaged!
