Dead Hang
Also called: bar hang, passive hang
No demo clip here — the movement is coached inside the session itself. Every workout in the library is a follow-along.
Coaching cues
- squeeze the bar like you mean it
- let the shoulders lengthen, stay long
- ribs down, legs quiet
- breathe slow while you hang
Common mistakes
- jumping off instead of lowering with control
- shrugging hard and holding tension in the neck
- swinging or kipping the legs
- holding the breath
Take care with: shoulder. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Harder: Scapular Pull-Up
