      I've trained dead hangs on and off for years. My longest was over 3 mins but I just gave up out of boredom Tbh. I add weight. Personally I think going for max time is a waste of time. Imo it's better to cut the time to 20-30 seconds and add extra weight. I use a 2" bar to make it more difficult  and reduce the weight as it was hurting my hips when I got up to an extra 120kg on a normal bar. I'd say train them twice per week but whatever you feel is needed. I'd do it as a Finisher after back work or other grip training if I were you.  I prefer using a thumb wrapped grip, especially if you use a thick bar.

      Thanks Joe!  It's been an evolution for me: Beginning of this year my main focus was on finally lifting my York Next Gen blob--hardly anything else. And when I did Maryland's Strongest Hands in May, I wrote off the Inch in the Grip Medley because I never trained it.  Made a feeble attempt after the comp and was like...nope.  Not happening. But then I had to train single hand stuff for Heavy Hands AND got a Baby Inch to take home... ...and now after having some time with it I'm like...maybe the full Inch is doable. I mean...I had heard of the Inch.  I watched plenty of videos with the Inch (or heavier).  And I know it's an awesome achievement.  But it never seemed within reach for me so I never listed it as a goal. So it's kind of a major breakthrough in my mindset these past three weeks that I'm adding it to my bucket list.

      I’m going to have two globe dumbbells like the millennium made. I want them crafted out of Tungsten or a very dense steel alloy (so the dumbbell is not cartoonishly large)    The first one will be painted with 24k gold paint (and be same shape as millennium bell) and weigh 600 pounds. It will be called the Mount Olympus dumbbell.    The second will be a slightly smaller one which will weigh 475-500 and be painted black with shades of red with a white hand print on it (like the Berserker Orcs in Lord of The Rings). It will be called the Berserker Dumbbell

      About 2 weeks ago I started implementing bar hangs and my goal is 2 minutes. I know there’s a lot of experienced people here, especially the climbers, so I’d really appreciate some advice on this.. thank you! My plan looks like this:  Frequency: three time per week Volume: 3 sets per workout x max hangs Progression: Add 5 seconds each week No chalk! Note: I’ve read some where that doing 50% of your max time for a period then trying your max works aswell. My question to you experienced people is: 1. How often? 2. How much volume (sets/time per set)? 3. Hang w/ thumb or without? I’d really appreciate any advice, thanks lads!
